gonna revamp this blog; new rules & themes & edits! please send in submissions xoxo

if you hate asoiaf that much then why have a whole blog dedicated to it?

i don’t hate asoiaf at all, it’s one of the best series. i hate game of thrones the tv show...?

Your fancasts are amazing. And I especially love how you added Nazanin Boniadi as a possiblity for Arianne Martell. I love that actress.

Thank you so much! I love her too :D

#84 » Because if women in other regions wish for respect or empowerment they're dependent on their male relatives to give it to them. But Dorne's culture empowers women, they don't need to be completely dependent on the men to recieve independence.
