hello! 🦚 please for dunkaerion?

Heyyy!! Let me show you one of my favourite snippets:

🦚 - show off some of your work

“Put on your tunic, hedge knight", he commanded, "I feel silly talking to you fully clothed while you're in nothing but your smallclothes"

“Perhaps you ought to get out of your garments as well, my Prince", Dunk murmured while he moved on to beating the dust out of his pants and Aerion was glad he wasn’t looking at him lest he would have spotted the blush spreading on his cheeks.

"Nonsense", he said, "do you take me a fool to don my last bit of protection in your company?"

That made the knight finally turn around to meet his gaze. "Pardon me, but I refuse to believe this is a real concern of yours" He motioned to his bandaged side. "You might be more injured than I am, but your knife did quite the damage nontheless. I don’t pose any threat to you now"

Aerion laughed. The sudden movement made his own side hurt, and he clutched it in pain "Clever man", he said although me meant the opposite. What kind of a knight revealed the extent of his injuries to a foe?

Please please please put me on the tag list for nine long years! I’ve been trying to stay updated with it since chapter 1. I was upset when I couldn’t find it for a while but behold its back up again! And I will not miss it again!! It’s so good!!!! Like idk it’s good! I love the way you add in what Kaz is going through mixed with the count down (or count up?) like it makes it hurt more in a way. If I could have a physical book of this I would have it on my shelf!

Yes ofc!! you're so sweet for saying this omg i'm so late to replying to this but thank you regardless

I don’t really get why writers write fics for Pope and John B when they know it won’t gets as many notes as JJ and Rafe fics🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

well, because we’re writing for what we want to write for! i personally don’t write for the notes, i write solely for what i want to write for. and i mean, some people like Pope and John B so they choose to write for them. especially since Pope and John B fic content is running dry. And I believe that they need more recognition as well (despite me not liking John B, I do try to write for him as best i can to feed my readers who do love him when they request). It’s based off personal preference rather than the notes if i’m being honest. it’s also fun to write for other characters!

bro... migraines in asiof... did we ever talk about this? like even maybe in a modern setting... but yeah ... do you have thoughts?

you're right!! we never talked about it but I (of course) have my headcanons about migraine sufferers in asoiaf so buckle up!!

Lysa Arryn Tully: the number one person that comes to my mind who would 100% have migraines. She is two years younger than Catelyn but described as looking at least 10 years older, she has watery eyes (I too cry a lot during migraines), married a man purely for political reasons and lives in the Eyrie, an ancient castle on the mountain peak thousands of feet above the surrounding valley -- the wind alone would cause anyone to have crazy headaches but combined with the rest, Lysa is certainly one of us

Cersei Lannister: her mother Joanna definitely had migraines as well, but Tywin thinks it's a made-up illness (and so does Cersei), so Cersei suffers through the episodes with gritted teeth

Tommen Baratheon: he got it from Cersei, but he wouldn't know because she keeps hers a secret in fear of appearing weak; Tommen's episodes are not as strong, however, because the painkillers in KL are quite effective

Jeyne Westerling: the way her mother provides her with potions and possets for diverse reasons, tells me she used to do that in Jeyne's teen years when she started suffering from the crazy headaches. Jeyne is able to treat Robb's wounds, because she knows from experience what helps against pain

Viserys I Targaryen: he gets occasional migraines but believes them to be another symptom of one of his many health problems

Olenna Tyrell: she takes some potion that numbs her down whenever she gets a migraine and when somebody asks why she is so groggy, she tells them "I am old, that's why. Would you expect Walder Frey to do jumping jacks at his age?"

don't forget to like and reblog if you enjoyed this post and if you wanted to leave a comment, I would love to hear what you think <3

Have you read Heart Full of Gasoline? The F1 au by sdwolfpup? It's 400k words of perfection.

OMG I think you just changed my life, anon <3

thank you for this ask, I have never heard of it before, but I fear this is so straight up my alley, and now I need to read it😍

For anyone who is interested (and doesn't already know about it), here is the link and this is the premise:

Jaime Lannister is a Formula 1 driver with a sordid past, dubious future, and nothing left to lose as he hits the far edge of his career. He thinks all he wants is the world championship title he’s never quite been able to reach and to finally give up smoking. What he finds to his great surprise is what he really wants might be Brienne Tarth. Brienne Tarth is an unknown mechanic eager to make the jump to the big time of Formula 1. When Jaime hires her as Chief Mechanic for his team of misfits, she discovers she’s ready for the work, but is she ready for Jaime?

☕+daensa

Good question! The thing about Sansa is that she is such an interesting character who I love so very dearly that I can understand almost every ship that includes her AND coincidentally, Danaerys is so sweet and layered as well, sooo I kind of ship it🤷‍♀️

they are the same age which I really like as a basis for a healthy relationship dynamic (both need to escape the creepy age difference men in their lives!)

the show plotting Dany and Sansa against each other is so bad, Sansa would welcome Dany with open arms and Dany would never try to intrude in her home which is why the tension between them is so unnecessary

prettiest girlies ever and I love when pretty people date pretty people

just imagine them braiding each other’s hair and talking about their respective homes (Winterfell and Dany's memories of the red door + her experience in the Khalasaar) PLUS lemons!!! the parallels...

Sansa is not an ice queen who is hard and ruthless just as Dany is not crazy and cruel, they are both lovergirls who are a little weird and dream of songs, safety and peace

☕️ + worst asoiaf ship for you personally (swing that hornets nest!)

Okay, here is a non-exhaustive list of ships I personally dislike:

Sansa x adult man

Jonsa: they are so sibling coded, I refuse to see them as romantic

Jonrya

Jaqarya: no just no

Thramsay: even have it blocked lol

Danaerys and Khal Drogo

Danaerys and Jorah Mormont (for obvious reasons)

🤬 + bingo fanfic

🤬 - bitch about something about the work which annoys you

Okay so about the bingo fanfic aka "Tales of Dunk and the egg":

One thing that annoys me is that Dunk doesn't have lots of dialogue partners so I have to focus on making Sweetfoot, Chestnut and Thunder very expressive and since I don't know lots about horses I have to look up what horses do every time😭 also since I am making it a Targaryens are dragons au I have to lock into writing dragons which is basically just another form of horse if we're being honest lol

Also! The deadline is in a week and I still have only about 500 words helppp,, I am having fun with it even though the writing process is going very slowly at the moment. I hope I’ll get a sudden burst of energy for the fanfic but if not I’ll just power through and get it done either way, it’s okay!
