GAME OF THRONES Roleplayer wanted!

Wow and I thought Endgame was bad!

Anyone up for roleplaying from Game of thrones to make this shitty writing better?

My favourite pairings for this show is;

Brienne and Jaime ( I preferably play as Brienne)

Jorah and Daenerys (I preferably play as Dany)

Gendry and Arya ( I preferably play as Arya

However I am open to suggestions! Inbox me and we can write a better ending together!

[el-queen]

I'd like some interaction with any of those characters! Just hit me up at https://thelastprincess.tumblr.com/ and we can talk.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

I may be inactive for a few days. There's some "wire cleanup" going on where I live, so my internet connection might get cut. I have no idea of when it's coming back if it does get cut. Just a heads up if I don't answer messages/asks.

Hey Laura. What are your thoughts on Griff and Young Griff and Varys' plan to create the perfect prince?

On Griff and Young Griff (Aegon)

If we assume Griff and Varys are telling the truth, there is a lot of evidence pointing that there was some sort of plan between Varys, Griff and Princess Elia. The story of the Pisswater Prince - as Tyrion Lannister aptly names the babe bought by Varys for a jug of Arbor Gold - who supposedly died in King's Landing along with Elia and the three-year old Rhaenys - comes up just as Tyrion, disguised as Hugor Hill - discovers the true identity of everyone aboard the Shy Maid - minus Ysilla and Yandry, the Rhoynish couple. Now, I hear some of you asking: Why would Elia Martell agree to this? Why did she die protecting this random baby she’d never seen before?I have a plausible reason: Perhaps Varys promised to keep Aegon safe if she agreed to it, and they swapped Aegon with the peasant babe. And if this is true, what sort of mother wouldn’t want her children to be safe? So yes, it is totally possible that Elia was goaded into agreeing because he played on her motherly instincts. He’s manipulative enough to do that, and he might have known that Elia would die in the Sack, even though he tried to stop Aerys II from opening the gates to Tywin. The plan to mold Aegon into the perfect Prince is a good one, but flawed. Aegon’s just a teen, and what can Varys do to prevent Aegon’s heir from being just as bad as Aerys was? He’s never been to Westeros, either. And he has no idea how the people of Westeros will accept him, even if he has been perfectly trained.Those are my thoughts.

Hi I was just wondering what you think will happen to Arianne Martell in TWOW? How do you feel about her character not being included in the show?

Thank you for the ask. This post will be divided into two sections, comparing the books with the show.

On Arianne not being included in the GOT show and the consequences it brought to the overall Dorne plot:

Arianne Martell is an important character in both the books and the show, even if she has proven herself to be quite unsuitable to carry out the mission her father has given her. Both she and Quentyn have been proven to be the wrong people to carry out Doran's plan of bringing the Targaryens back into power, as I will explain in a later section.

If she had been included in the TV show, most of the mistakes that were made about Dorne in the past three seasons would have been drastically lessened. Arianne's story is a crucial point in the books (I shall get into why in a later part of this post), and most of the muck about Dorne we were presented with in the show by D&D would have been avoided.

Why do you think D&D took the Tyrells out of the show in the final episode of Season 6, when Cersei blew up the Great Sept of Baelor? They simply had no idea of what to do with both the Tyrells and the Martells once they had completely cut out Young Griff's plotline, which in turn butchered Arianne's chances of existing in the show. I'm sure there would have been some way to properly include Arianne and her storyline (if they had been smarter about it), but instead they merged her character with Ellaria's and killed off the Dornish royal family without a second thought.

(My thoughts on the books will be placed under the cut,  as this is getting long)

On Arianne's moves in the books and on what TWOW will bring for her:

As I have hinted in the previous section, Arianne is completely unsuitable to the task of carrying out her father's massive plan to restore the Targaryens. Not only is she not politically-savvy, but she is also accompanied by several people who are ill-suited. (as we see in her pre-released chapters for the sixth book with several characters)

For example, her cousin, Elia Sand, is only fourteen years old when we meet her, and yet Doran sends her off with Arianne - not caring about whether the party will get killed or injured in their quest to find Jon Connington (Griff). And how the heck will Arianne know for sure if Young Griff is Aegon or if Jon is Griff?

As Daemon Sand himself puts it,

If Jon Connington's Prince has a cracked skull, I will believe his tales. (Arianne I, TWOW)

She is completely ill-suited to the task, and Quentyn was even more so - all because he did not wish to face his father's disapproval. What will Arianne do when she finds Jon and Aegon? Will she simply write back to her father and tell him that they're reinforcing their word on who they say they are? What will she do?

Those are my thoughts.
