a blog dedicated to unapologetically selfish and angry women of a song of ice and fire we track #selfishasoiafwomen

you know when rich girls have a vile, crusty, constantly vomiting chihuahua?

but honestly this whole idea of who the wild dragons would suit was inspired when I read @vivacissimx "viserra lives au", where the idea of viserra and sheepstealer originated. Definitely check it out if you haven't already <3

Sheepstealer for @onewingeddragonqueen! The first is my “official” design, and the second is an edit of my very first picture of them!

the happy bride on her peaceful and awesome wedding day

“The slippers the Butcher King had sent her had grown too uncomfortable. Dany kicked them off and sat with one foot tucked beneath her and the other swinging back and forth. It was not a very regal pose, but she was tired of being regal. The crown had given her a headache, and her buttocks had gone to sleep. ‘Ser Barristan,’ she called, ‘I know what quality a king needs most.’

‘Courage, Your Grace?’

‘Cheeks like iron,’ she teased. ‘All I do is sit.’

‘Your Grace takes too much on herself. You should allow your councillors to shoulder more of your burdens.’

‘I have too many councillors and too few cushions.’”

For @music-of-dragons! This has gotta be one of my favorite light-hearted moments in the whole series. Here’s to hoping Dany bans the “floppy ears,” though, both because of what they represent and because they are a nightmare to draw. Took some creative liberties with how the tokar is wound, because in my mind it’s worn so tight I’m not sure Dany could tuck her leg under her? But her non regal pose is so cute in this scene, so who cares.

Bonus!

“In the purple hall, Dany found her ebon bench piled high about with satin pillows. The sight brought a wan smile to her lips. Ser Barristan’s work, she knew.”

Bonus bonus just cause I thought it was funny:

For the fanart, could you do Val full shieldmaiden stlye, post-battle?

I am so proud of this! I love it, if I can say so myself.

I think that the equipment of the skjaldmær (shielmaiden) is quite historically accurate.

The swan feather cloak is not. I chose it because Val, shieldmaiden version, reminded me of  Hervör (also a shieldmaiden from the Hervarar saga ok Heiðrek). And  Hervör + Val reminded me of the homonymous valkyrie from the Vǫlundarkviða, also a swan-maiden.

I hope you like it :)

Ice & Fire brain rot has returned with a vengeance… thank you HOTD. Back on Tumblr to begin my lifelong goal of drawing all the female characters in ASOIAF. Please send me an ask with anyone you want to make sure I don’t miss. <3

A red sun rises like an early warning.

(Click for better quality. Also I keep thinking more and more about the Tullys and the environment and I’m currently spaced out and restless on extra-strength cough syrup so I’ve added a marginally-relevant meta rant below the cut enjoy)

Characters' appearances are extremely important to the narrative of ASoIaF, and not just in the obvious ways like Joffrey's blondness being a dead give-away that he's a bastard. We see multiple instances of a house's colors tying back to it's members' appearances; the Starks (grey and white) traditionally have grey eyes, the Lannisters (gold and crimson) have golden hair, and, my main point of this tangent, the Tullys (red and blue) all have red hair and blue eyes. They are unique in that both of their colors are represented in the traditional Tully Look and, while the aforementioned houses also have meaning tied to those colors (Starks are the "colors of winter", Lannister colors are almost absurdly regal and wealthy), theirs are directly tied to the environment they rule - it's the red clay and the blue water of the river that give the house its colors.

In this, the Tullys are thematically inseparable from the river, its environment, and its fate.

Unfortunately for them, the narrative makes it very clear that war devastates the Riverlands, almost more so than any other region we see - bodies clog the river, forests and farmland are obliterated for sieges, and the wildlife is described with very little diversity (mostly just predator species like wolves) when it is described at all.

At the same time, the Tullys are being killed off, imprisoned, and displaced left and right, a near mirror of how the earth is being handled.

It's important to note that a considerable portion of the environmental destruction is done not just by enemies of the Riverlands, but by the Tullys themselves. It is Brynden, after all, that destroys vast swaths of the farmland, essentially killing it for the foreseeable future. This is the narrative telling us that it's not just the Lannisters or the Freys responsible for their demise, but themselves, as well.

They are a doomed family, and Martin tells us this the moment he tells us that Catelyn has red hair and blue eyes.

Arya took the doll away from her, ripped it open, and pulled the rag stuffing out of its belly with a finger. “Now he really looks like a soldier!” she said, before she threw the doll in a brook.

Parallels, Part 1

[laurellerual]

She picked up a broken branch and smashed the torn doll’s head down on top of it, then pushed it down atop the shattered gatehouse of her snow castle.
