Many people have posted images of the bonus chapters from Sarah J. Maas's books, and I thank you for giving us access to content we would have missed out on otherwise. However, no one has posted all of them, so I figure that I can collate the links in one place.

emily brontë suggestion: be a recluse with a foul temper, wander the moors without a bonnet, shadowed by your mastiff dog, and be so eccentric the people of your village assume that, although you are the minister’s daughter, you are a particular kind of witch
Daenerys targaryen was nothing but a name and a girl with silver hair and she became something. She rose from literal ashes and birthed dragons from fire and blood. She freed slaves and answered injustice with justice. She changed the dothrakis ways and gave the unsullied a chance at freedom. She inspired thousands to follow her to the ends of the world. She sacrificed the throne to help those in need and lost everything because of it. She lost her friends her advisors her children. She lost her love and died by his hand. So I will remember her as she was. A strong and caring ruler who put others sufferings before her own. To Daenerys stormborn of house targaryen breaker of chains and mother of dragons.
I loved that part in the ending where Jon asks Arya where she’s going and she says she’s gonna go to Storm’s End because she’s in love and is CHOOSING LIFE AND LOVE after a lifetime of being hunted and tortured and suffering through unimaginable loss, death, tragedy and hate.
What a wonderful way to end the character arc of one of the most tragic and beloved characters in the show.
Glad they didn’t do something stupid with her like have her end up in a boat full of strangers, just as alone as she has been for most of the series, sailing off to fuck knows where without any real purpose or reason for leaving both her blood family and her found family.
Clouds seen from above. Horses small as antsthundering through the grass. A silver moon, almost close enough to touch. Rivers running bright and blue below, glimmering in the sun. Will I ever see such sights again? On Drogon's back she felt whole. Up in the sky the woes of this world could not touch her.
What makes me so mad is that snow queen is such a lovely tale and there was an evil mirror that shattered and froze the queen’s heart. So the first thing the newly evil queen does is PLUNGE THE KINGDOM INTO ETERNAL WINTER.
And the kid Anna is based off of is actually this sweet peasant girl who is rescuing her best friend whom everyone else thought drowned and whom no one cared for because mirror shards got in his eyes and he only saw beauty in snowflakes while everything else was just disgustingly foul to him. Except he didn’t drown because he was whisked away by the snow queen.
Like this girl gives her shoes to the river to find out he didn’t drown. Her hair ribbons to the birds to find out who took him. Works her hands raw to get to him and has to suffer a mental breakdown because she got SO FUCKING CLOSE to saving him and he won’t even look at her because he wants to solve this puzzle the snow queen gave him.
And then her sobbing wakes him up and he cries and washes the shards from his eyes and the fact that she saved him is enough to melt the snow queens heart and she brings spring back to the kingdom.
Let’s not forget Gerda’s journey takes her along a long road that includes meetings with multiple women, many of them old, most of whom are not evil witches but wise women who aid her in her quest. She’s also at one point held captive by a bandit princess who swaps clothes with her and insists on sleeping in the same bed and routinely threatens her with a knife, but she eventually lets Gerda go with a magic talking reindeer she was also holding captive. The bandit princess cries because goddamn Gerda you’re so NICE and PRETTY and BRAVE and you clearly care about this stupid guy I GUESS and I can’t bear it just GO ok just GO and also you better fucking take care of her reindeer or I will CUT YOU.
The story is full of interesting complex women of many ages and magical talking animals and it’s a real shame we didn’t get an adaptation closer to the original ‘cause it’s really cool.
There was a Soviet animated movie from 1957, that doesn’t brush over any of the things you just listed.
You get Gerda on her journey, meeting all of those people that both hinder her quest and help her, with older women from different regions of northern europe, as well as several princesses who aid her
also the art style and animation is absolutely gorgeous and I always feel like it’s a shame that older Soviet animation is barely recognized around the world
