Have you made other collages/animations for asoiaf? Got curious bc of the Jeyne P one bc I thought you didn't make those for fandoms
Asides from the recent Je¥ne one, I've only made one for ASOIAF, these have been exceptions, one born out of boredom the other out of despair, and I’m not content with the end result because I made it in 2016 when I was starting and it looks tacky as hell. Fun enough I had to resize it because the original was too large for Tumblr so now it looks even worse.
Not a favourite anymore, but he is still very close to my heart. Sometimes I feel ashamed of not caring for him as much as I did when I first read the books.
Black Crow by Angus & Julia Stone
Saw murder in her eyes
The dark of a thousand crows
Cold thriller in disguise
Blue shadows stitched to her toes
Do you know, mister, of this phase?
Do you know, mister?
No time to waste
Rule #4 - Fish in a Birdcage by Fish in a Birdcage
I'm a fish inside a birdcage
My brother always sings me songs
With his beak he tries to soothe me
He makes me feel that I belong
He has a wild imagination
And tells me things that must be true
Like there's a world where I can take flight
Where i can freely move
Into the Unknown (feat. Jack Jones) by The Blasting Company
(I don't know if this is cheating or not, but I still always associate it to him and I think he would love this show)
Led through the mist By the milk-light of moon
All that was lost is revealed
Our long bygone burdens
Mere echoes of the spring
But where have where we come and where shall we end?
If dreams can't come true then why not pretend...
Upward Over the Mountain by Iron & Wine
Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together
Mother remember the night that the dog got her pups in the pantry?
Blood on the floor, fleas on their paws,
And you cried 'til the morning
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain
Singing Saw by Kevin Morby
Up the hill
Past the houses
I sang a song then I came
Back down the mountain
All the while, big moon above me
Old coyote, laughing at me
He went
Thought I saw a singing saw
Cutting down a willow
CERSEI MY LOVE. Oh, with her I feel like I'm allowed to make this a shitpost. This will be ridiculous but I'll have fun
Cersei
Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
Bitch by Meredith Brooks
So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
I'm a bitch
I'm a lover
I'm a child
I'm a mother
I'm a sinner
I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell
I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
What You Waiting For? by Gwen Stefani
Like an echo pedal, you're repeating yourself
You know it all by heart
Why are you standing in one place? (Uh-huh)
Born to blossom, bloom to perish
Your moment will run out 'cause of your sex chromosome
I know it's so messed up how our society all thinks (for sure)
Life is short, you're capable (uh-huh)
Oh, oh-oh
Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You got your million dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track
Fucked My Way Up To The Top by Lana del Rey
I'm a dragon lion, you're a whore
Don't even know what you're good for
Mimicking me is a fucking bore
To me, but babe
Lay me down tonight
In my diamonds and pearls
Tell me something nice
About your favorite girl
King by Florence + the Machine
But a woman is a changeling, always shifting shape
Just when you think you have it figured out
Something new begins to take
What strange claws are these scratching at my skin?
I never knew my killer would be coming from within
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
Jaime x Cersei
Gold Dust Woman by Fleetwood Mac
Rock on, ancient queen
Follow those who pale in your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale, up for sale
Well, did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
Well, is it over now? Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
The Lion's Roar by First Aid Kit
But don't you come here and say I didn't warn you
About the way your world can alter
And oh how you try to command it all still
Every single time it all shifts one way or the other
And I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
Has me evading and hollering for you
And I never really knew what to do
Michelle/La Femme Michelle by Sir Chloe
Fun enough there are two versions of this song. I like to believe the first one is Jaime struggling but the second one is him coming to terms with who Cersei really is.
Walk in the room
Watching you smoke
I'm such a fool
Take off your coat
You know just how to be cruel
When you shake your hips that way
I don't care what you say
Michelle
Michelle
You are a monster from Hell
Yes by Coldplay
(Shut up. I don't care. I pretended not to like that band for years because of the implications. I like their old stuff.)
When it started, we had high hopes
Now my back's on the line, my back's on the ropes
When it started, we were alright
But night makes a fool of us in the daylight
There we were dying of frustration
Singing, "Lord, lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Ready To Let Go by Cage The Elephant
Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii
On both sides the vow was broken
Oh my my, I'm the one
Trying to hide this damage done
One day, all our secrets will be spoken
As we slow dance, I became your statue, frozen
'Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke? Yeah
Underneath this bed of ashes
Still withholding everything
Like we were never close
I really liked your interpretation of them + a few other authors, but what attracts me the most of it is the mystery in the relationship and since fandom has decided to hold a very (almost insultingly in my opinion) idealistic view of R0ßß it has lost some of it's appeal for me. Weirdly enough I still love them a lot, because they embody some aspects of Germanicus & Agrippina, a couple that I really love. And I overall really like Jeyne and how courageous she is. So yeah, my problem comes mostly from the R0ßß's characterisation always being that of a selfless saint who sacrifices himself for her honour (or worse, gets roofied).
Theon x Ramsay x Jeyne (P)
“oh my god, we have the same abusive boyfriend”
hellish polycule. I hate it. I genuinely hate Ramsay so much. People keep making Theon the whump protagonist in fanwork by having him suffer, but I want Ramsay to be my whump protagonist. I can't stand that motherfucker. I hope he has the least climactic death in the story because he is simply not worth it. I don't want neither Theon nor Jeyne to ever come near him again because him dying while thinking that they are gone and safe is my favourite fantasy. It would be a huge slight for him.
On the other hand, this is kind of canon and I enjoy all the canon. I love the canon ships for what they are which, in this case, is plain horror. I want to gorge my eyes out whenever I think of it. They make me want to scream. The dynamic in fanwork is less interesting to me because most of the time it just ends up being gratuitous smut or Theon being in love with Jeyne during their captivity which is a huge no for me. (No hate to anyone who enjoys either of those things, they are just boundaries) but if written as in canon (that is implicitly and as horror), then yeah, I'd read a fic.
But viewed through a less serious lens Ramsay CANONICALLY and simultaneously acts as the matchmaker, the third wheel, and the sicko lurking on the window I can't-
Melisandre x Selyse
I read it as one-sided canon. It's probably not intended by GRRM, but I do. I know for many people this is a mostly comedic ship not to be taken too seriously or the one they use to write $tav0s without having to fully disregard the women, but... Repressed sapphic who is head over heels for a religious extremist who wouldn't hesitate at burning her alive if her god demanded it...oh how relatable. + there is the entire topic of faith
Beric x Thoros
I really love the themes of reborn faith at the sight of someone who is a living miracle. I know it's not a healthy thing in real life, but I love exploring the idea of someone finding a purpose and a cause in the world because of one (1) single person who reignites long-forsaken hope in another. Especially if that person dies later on. + a bit of borderline necrophilia meets Robin Hood. @/mylestoye described them once as:
"this is my lover I’ve pulled him from the arms of death six times & though every time he’s a bit more faded & a bit more lost I feel I can’t let him go, he is a symbol of my religion he reawakened my belief & faith, I will follow him & care for him for as long as I can"
Grenn x Pypar
"If Pyp wanted to call me aurochs, though, he could. Or you, or Jon." - Sam II, ASOS
I know it's completely insignificant and GRRM didn't think anything while writing it, but I loved that division. Two sentences. Not one. He had to add it as an afterthought. I remember there was someone on AO3 who wrote exclusively for them in English and Spanish and I used to compare the translations trying to analyse the text. Need to revisit those. They just give me warm happy feelings
Well it's not necessarily about you, but it's for you.
Avestruces, avestruces, muchas avestruces
It's only a short thing and probably the fluffiest thing I've ever written. Missandei's observations of her surroundings. Is Dany still your favourite? Anyway, this is just supposed to be a warm and cozy afternoon between Missandei, Dany and the dragons shortly after being freed. I wanted to explore what her possible perceptions of Dany and her crew could be.
Circled by the sands
Alleras (Sarella) x Rosey thing because I told you how much I like rarepairs and I also read the drafts for AFFC and I think we were so robbed of Rosey wanting to study at the Citadel, and since she is mentioned to be into Alleras, I thought it could be fun to see Alleras sharing whatever knowledge he comes across, so in here he begins teaching her how to write, mentoring her through sums and every thing he learns. And maybe they fall in love a little
