posts that have changed my reading of asoiaf and that still influence me to this day :

1) the starks derive their legitimacy from the mostly forgotten mythos of the long night :

One of the metas I’ve always wanted to write but for a bad case of scattered thoughts is a further examination of what The North Remembers m

2) volantis must fall :

If there is one fact you need to take away from ADWD (besides about ten thousand other things), it’s this: Volantis is doomed. I used that w

3) daenerys’s story is also about healing :

4) ned’s legacy vs tywin’s in affc and adwd :

I think you’ve said before that A Feast of Crows and A Dance with Dragons were partly about the competing legacies of Tywin and Ned could yo

5) true knighthood and how it functions within asoiaf :

In short: I think ASOIAF is not about “there are no true knights,” it’s about how hard it is to be a true knight, and doing so anyway. It’s

6) euron is terrifying and he’s messing with dany :

Hello butterfly sorry if you've gotten this before but do you think the "corpse at the prow of the ship" in Danys visions could be Jon Conni

7) little walder frey is an interesting character :

Hello! What's up with Big Walder? Big Walder Frey is my favorite background character in ASOIAF, the world’s youngest supervillain hiding in

8) the significance of the sigorn and alys wedding :

Can you elaborate more on how the Alys-Sigorn wedding was awesome and its like a baby that conquered the world? I just really like Alys/Sig

9) sam is a thematic key within the narrative :

If It Is Chains You Want: Samwell Tarly, Gender, and War

11) winterfell was built to keep out the others :

"Because that’s what Winterfell was built to do." Drat. How did I not realize that. IT'S IN THE DAMN NAME. Yep. Winterfell is where Winter (

12) visenya killed aenys :

I am personally of the belief that visenya killed Aenys to put Maegor on the throne. My question is, why did she wait so long? Why not kill

above everything by David Ignatow

[boykeats]

[ID: poem text reading,

"I wished for death often but now that I am at its door I have changed my mind about the world. It should go on; it is beautiful, even as a dream, filled with water and seed, plants and animals, others like myself, ships and buildings and messages filling the air - a beauty, if ever I have seen one. In the next world, should I remember this one, I will praise it above everything."

"His love is a small box he keeps you in. Don't stay in it."

"There was a light in his eyes. A light I've not seen for years."

"Her mind and spirit will age, but the world will treat her as she is now! And she will be miserable, and you will love her, and it will spiral beyond your reach!"

“My light. My Claudia. My redemption.”

–Louis de Pointe du Lac (Interview with the Vampire, ‘Is My Very Nature That of the Devil’)

“Claudia was my dark child. My love. Evil of my evil.” –Lestat de Lioncourt (The Vampire Lestat)

How (Not) to Speak of God who has tried to reach us, who will do anything to reach us who is enough, who is more than enough who should be extolled with our sugared tongues who knows us in our burnished windshields as we pass who remembers the honey-colored husks of the locust who knows the scent of dust, the scent of each sparrow whose shadow does not flicker under streetlights who can feel without exaggerating anything who will care when the iridescent flies swarm toward us who shall be as the wings of the dove, its coppery shadows who waits in the midst of the mosquitoes who devoured the fruit of our ground, the skin of the overripe pears who saw the world incarnadined, the current flowing whose face is electrified by its own light who could be a piece of flame, a piece of mind shimmering who can feel without eroticizing everything who will pity us when the bees disappear into their shadows who loves the dank earth, its wolves and its tigresses
