oh my favorite trope? two people who go through something so unique and agonizing and entirely beyond words that they have no choice but to create a bond that transcends all other types of love, thus acting as the sole point of understanding for the other person in a world that cannot fathom what they’ve been through

Sansa and Arya have a lot of catching up to do, but there's still a little tension between them, so it's easier for them to talk not facing each other. This period is the most well groomed that Arya's hair has ever been.

everybody's speculating on where hotd will end and youd think that a logical stopping point would be aegon and viserys meeting on the beachhead of kings landing because it perfectly encapsulates the tragedy and futility of the war and how it only leaves behind broken boys but youd be WRONG. manifesting an entire season of lysene spring court politics with my mind i want to see every aspect of the rogare banking crisis in excruciating detail. this is no longer a high fantasy tragedy it's a black comedy court drama where we follow the marvelous misadventures of lysandro and drazenko rogare as they discover the magical world of fractional reserve manipulation

#i know the popular pick for his name is maegor but i like rhaegar#in that I love when prophecy is like an AM radio and sometimes the frequency bounces off of your fucking head at the wrong time

Is it ever said what happens to alys and/or her baby I can't remember. Like did she just decide to fuck off to Essos or smth after doing All That

I think that they say that her planning and plotting was waylaid by the outbreak of the spring fever of whatever year it was, but they do not specify whether her and little aemondcito rivers survived or what they might have gotten up to after

My fiancee and I were discussing the worst metal to use to make armor, and the obvious answers are lead and gold, but she cunningly suggested mercury. Which is a fair point, but then I wondered if solid mercury is any good. Googling told me that the melting point of mercury is -38° c (-37° f), so first you get it really fucking cold. At that point, it turns out that mercury has a tensile strength of 1900 mpa, compared to lead’s 18 and steel’s ~500-940 (depending upon the kind of steel).

Now, I know that tensile strength is not necessarily the best measure of a material’s ability to function as armor, but I’m a liberal arts major and didn’t care to actually do that much more research before going straight to, “EVIL ICE DEMONS IN MERCURY ARMOR. THE PCS CAN’T LOOT IT BECAUSE WHEN THEY PUT IT ON IT MELTS AND KILLS THEM.”

re: the Literature poll, i guess it depends on if u think LOTR falls into the Literature category, bc i think asoiaf is on par with it. LOTR is remembered 80+ years on as a classic in its own right and as the standard for the fantasy genre but it's not the greatest book of the 20th century. i love asoiaf and think it's so lovingly and amazingly crafted but it's not a piece of high art imho. not on dostoyevsky or homer level certainly (maybe i say that bc i don't think grrm's prose is particuarly strong? or at least the prose isn't really the main focus of the books)

just realized i never got to this ask so sorry!! i do think that LOTR falls into the Literature category, though i havent read it yet. I think that what makes a work part of a literary Canon is if it's too important to be ignored, like if it is so influential in what it does that you can't mention the history of a genre without talking about it. usually this means existing in a dialectic with the works that come before it, and both LOTR and ASOIAF have a lot to say about the tropes of fantasy as a whole in a way that I feel isn't done by other fantasy works that are currently popular (although i admit this may be personal bias talking, i havent read enough sanderson or rothfuss or other authors to say). i know this could be an unpopular take but i genuinely believe his prose is up there with the greats, he does something really special with language with these books and one of these days i will write a master post about it. i do think that asoiaf is high art (of course with all the caveats that the high art-low art division is made up) but of course i recognize im biased on this account.

Do you have any headcannons about any culture clashes Robert Baratheon would've faced in the vale? And do you think that made him even closer to Ned as they both felt like outsiders at the tender ages of 8&10?

Yes omfg I don’t know why they didn’t treat his stay like a reeducation camp bc To Me the lords of the vale would never let any "undesirable" behavior go unchecked. I guess Jon Arryn was like hey guys Autism runs in the Starks dw

The ppl of the Vale (to me) are like supper stuffy, haughty nobility who are obsessed with tradition and the “proper” ways of doing things. So when Ned (from the brusque, straightforward, severely unfrivolous north) and Robert (from the loud, crass, rough around the edges, also straightforward Stormlands) came up the mountain they were like who is this autistic child and his feral buddy.

They definitely felt alone like ugh I wish we got more of Ned reminiscing on his time in the Vale, he spent most of his youth there. I think they both felt really lonely with they both arrived. Ned was probably super closed off while Robert was trying to overcompensate. Causing problems and such in order to fill the storms end shaped void.

When they both realized they were equally lonely they probably attached at the hip immediately. Prime example of those friendships that are like high energy excitable risk taker outgoing impulsive chasing the adrenaline rush friend X anxiety disordered overthinking painfully shy 30 step plan for any possible scenario friend.

Once everyone got used to their outsider personalities the boys were just like...those two weird kids who we have begrudging affection for. Robert probably tried to convince Ned to climb down the side of the Eyrie with him multiple times and Ned had to be his impulse control multiple times.
