the winds of winter is still not out. has it ever been out. did winter ever come? is a dance with dragons real or was it just a dream?

is jaime on a redemption arc? or is it an identity arc? can his identity be redeemed? is his redemption his identity?

every character is a secret targ. YOU are a secret targ. surprise. your hair is silver. your eyes are purple. you grab cinnamon rolls from the oven without mitts because fire cannot kill a dragon.

is it about arya? is it about sansa? is it about arya and sansa? is it about neither arya nor sansa? does it ever cease. no–it can not. it never shall. it never will.

jaime is the valonqar. tyrion is the valonqar. sandor is the valonqar. arya is the valonqar. the valonqar is the friends we made along the way. the valonqar is the enemies we made along the way.

gendry is still rowing. gendry has never been in a boat. gendry is still rowing.

daenerys is the younger more beautiful queen. sansa is the younger more beautiful queen. margaery is the younger more beautiful queen. cersei is her own younger more beautiful queen. george rr martin is the younger more beautiful queen.

another season of game of thrones. another pre-released chapter of the winds of winter. no release date in sight.

Finally some sandsnakes (and Arianne)!! Had a lot of fun with this one, and I got to use all my warm colours for once!

There were a lot of different inspirations for the clothes this time, mainly garments from Egypt,Ethiopia and India. I felt that was appropriate though, since all my snake girls are so unique and different as well. I’m actually thinking about drawing the less popular sandsnakes as well since I’ve collected so many beautiful reference pictures I didn’t even use…

every queen of the seven kingdoms: tyanna of the tower

“Some said the woman was Maegor’s concubine. Others named her Lady Alys’s paramour. The natural daughter of a Pentoshi magister, Tyanna was a tavern dancer who had risen to be a courtesan. She was rumored to be a poisoner and sorceress as well. Many queer tales were told about her…yet as soon as she arrived, Queen Visenya dismissed her son’s maesters and septons and gave Maegor over to Tyanna’s care.“ // aslıhan gürbüz as tyanna

do you think ned was a good dad?

rhaegarxlyanna:

Rubies flew like drops of blood from the chest of a dying
prince,and he sank to his knees in the water and with his last breath
murmured a woman’s name.

When the gold was half-melted and starting to run, Drogo reached into the flames, snatched out the pot. “Crown!” he roared. “Here. A crown for Cart King!” And upended the pot over the head of the man who had been her brother.
The sound Viserys Targaryen made when that hideous iron helmet covered his face was like nothing human. His feet hammered a frantic beat against the dirt floor, slowed, stopped. Thick globs of molten gold dripped down onto his chest, setting the scarlet silk to smoldering… yet no drop of blood was spilled.
