[valyrianstccl-a]

so, in case it wasn't already obvious, my motivation for roleplay had dwindled. basically, it died. i still want to contribute to the internet and continue writing fic things - i will be bringing my original characters over here for writing purposes - so, i created a personal account/ writing hub and you can find me over there. xx

epeolxtry‌:

Elia had to bow her head just a little, to hide the chuckle she’d felt bubbling up over the way the young lad had quickly fumbled into the required decorum, like he were maybe a little worried he’d be reprimanded. It was the often the little things like that which reminded her that this was NOT Dorne. That the lords and ladies, the princes and princesses - had a little more of a formal relationship with their small-folk. Mayhaps, in her eyes, that could be attributed to the Water Gardens of her home; to that very open practice of children of all walks being free to play and laugh together. Elia had spent as much of her youth with the towns children as she had with any holding a title. 

“ Of course. Please. I wouldn’t want the poor horses to feel neglected on my part. ” 

She smiled once again to show him he need not fear reprimand from her, before turning back to the horse she stood a front of, and reaching out to pet him with soft strokes. “ If we’re going to be companions for the next short while, I was wondering if you’d tell me your name? ” She addressed the boy as she ran her hand along the head of the beautiful animal. “ Or shall I call you young ser? ” Not a stable-hand, a squire - which meant a KNIGHT to be. 

     brannyn picked up the brush from a small table he had meticulously laid his things on earlier. same table everyday, and every tool in the same spot. the boy liked the order that cam with everything having a place  ———  unlike himself, who just seemed to exist, without purpose. without a place. and, though the idea of becoming a knight drove the young squire, he knew it was an UNLIKELY dream.

      ❝ i doubt i shall ever be a ser, your grace, ❞ he responded, approaching his master’s steed. a beautiful, lean dark haired creature. he was used to the squire by now, remaining calm as brannyn gently combed through his hair. ❝ kights are usually lofty men of title and status, i am nothing of the sort. my name is brannyn waters. ❞

        ❝ that’s not necessarily true ——— ❞

     his brow furrowed into a serious expression, not for want to leave, but the need to DO something. brannyn felt stuck, stagnant — he didn’t want to wait any longer to feel useful. he needed to feel like he was closer to accomplishing his goals.

                        ❝ i’m just restless. i don’t like waiting. ❞

HEADCANON 007 : AERYS II TARGARYEN

brannyn never met king aerys, not technically. once he had been invited to an event of the court, as a squire of course, and it would be looked down upon for him to approach any of the royal family. the king never acknowledged him, but he hoped his current position was a result of the man. his maternal grandfather was of a lesser house, sometimes it seemed unlikely that he was able to secure his bastard grandson such position. like any child, brannyn definitely felt resentment towards his absent, unloving father but he prayed to the gods that one day he would wake up and be accepted as part of a family. every time he took to the training grounds, he fought with everything he had (not necessarily winning but more importantly not surrendering), hoping the king would realize he was worthy enough to be his son.

as previously stated, he had never been in the company of the king, so he had never experienced the king’s madness first hand, he only heard stories. at first, he brushed them off, believing details embellished by those who wanted to seize more power for themselves. however, when he heard of multiple instances of the king burning alleged traitors alive, his stomach turned. that many people, witnessing that many VICTIMS, could not possibly be false. his nagging resentment grew into a nagging shame, and though he did not wish to be associated with the MAD KING, he had faith that noble rhaegar would be better than his father ——— but he truly didn’t trust any of his siblings to acknowledge his parentage. not when it was possible that could see him as a threat. if he wanted a family, he could only hope his father would see his worth.
