in which julia makes gifs for her friends ☆ﾟ ↳ lilac by @stellargios

Trying to explain her love for Jaime felt like trying to hold water in her hands. Impossible, infuriating, and—in the end—an entirely futile effort. How could she possibly convey in words what it was to love him? How could she ever make Dany understand? Naerys knew that she loved Jaime in the same way that she knew she needed to breathe air in order to live. Loving him had been her lifeline for so long that even after all that had happened between them and the hurt they’d brought one another, Naerys couldn’t unlove him even if she tried—and she had tried.

But her sister had asked for an explanation, so she would do her best to find the words to describe it. “I loved Jaime Lannister the very first day that I met him…”

[Original date: 5 July 2016]

The more I write, the more I feel that “Oh, but it’s a fantasy world! You’re not actually depicting any real cultures” is not at all useful or productive. For one, if you can’t see the connections between things like Lord of the Rings or A Song of Ice and Fire and medieval Europe, I don’t know what to say to you. They are not direct depictions, but they are very, very evidently rooted in history and culture—and the baggage that comes with them.

It’s true that the connecting fibers are much thinner for some works than others, but while most are not on quite the scale of Middle-earth or Westeros, many follow in that kind of tradition. Speaking as a writer—in my day job (such as it is), I study early modern and eighteenth century British literature, and my interest in those periods constantly pervades my fiction. I did as much historical research for the first chapter of my fantasy novel as for straightforward historical fiction, because many aspects absolutely are drawn straight from history.

At the same time, of course, it is a fantasy and a secondary world, and those are never going to be directly equivalent.

For instance, ASOIAF is obviously and unabashedly inspired by the Wars of the Roses, enacted across a continent rather than one small island, but the Starks and Lannisters are not simply fantasy versions of the Yorks and Lancasters. During the Wars of the Roses, both families were Plantagenets, branches of the royal house of England with rival claims to the throne. In ASOIAF, neither the Starks nor Lannisters have any direct claim to the Iron Throne at all—we see the Plantagenet vs Plantagenet dynamic more with the deposed Targaryens vs their Baratheon cousins who won the previous phase of the conflict.

The Baratheons’ ebullient warrior-king, Robert, is probably most comparable to Edward IV, and his beautiful, ambitious wife to Elizabeth Woodville. However, Cersei Lannister is altogether a wilder, more amoral figure than Elizabeth, and Robert marries her out of political expediency rather than Edward’s passion for the unsuitable Elizabeth. Also unlike Elizabeth, Cersei triumphs over the austere northern lord who would strip power from her and her children, where Elizabeth lost the immediate battle to Richard of Gloucester—a far more ambiguous figure than Ned Stark.

In character, Cersei is perhaps more akin to the Lucrezia Borgia of legend, if not history. She comes with an ambitious, highly intelligent father who ruthlessly uses all his children (Tywin Lannister/Alexander VI), an incestuous brother-lover locked into an order that denies him an inheritance (Jaime Lannister/Cesare Borgia), and a second, widely loathed brother (Tyrion Lannister/Juan Borgia).

The parallels aren’t exact there, either, though. Cesare’s strategic and administrative brilliance goes to Tyrion, Lucrezia’s overriding loyalty to her family at odds with (in the fictionalized versions) a burgeoning conscience goes to Jaime, and Juan’s incompetent, wild recklessness goes to Cersei.

As far as Wars of the Roses analogues go, Daenerys Targaryen’s place seems to draw nearest to Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, the future Henry VII. Daenerys and Henry are, respectively, exiled survivors of the deposed branches of the royal family (Targaryen/Lancastrian) who, with local and foreign support, return to reclaim the kingdom. Yet Daenerys is wildly dissimilar from Henry. Even her claim to the throne differs. Where Daenerys is the only surviving, legitimate child of the old king, Henry’s Lancastrian heritage came through an illegitimate and female line, and he had a prudent, restrained personality in general, more like—say, Jon Snow.

That’s ASOIAF. If you jump to Tolkien, it’s not surprising that he linked Gondor to the Byzantine Empire in its decline. Like the Byzantine Empire, Gondor is the surviving half of a once-towering empire, holding on while the other half (Arnor/Holy Roman) loses its territory and decays into little states and feuding communities. The Battle of the Pelennor Fields has striking parallels to the fall of Constantinople, and Tolkien directly referred to Minas Tirith as a take on Constantinople.

Yet again, the parallels are not 1:1, even setting aside the basic fact that it turns out completely differently. Denethor is at most a tragic inversion of Emperor Constantine, but even that seems a stretch. His sons, Boromir and Faramir, don’t plug into any particular historical figures, and the faithful Rohirrim don’t exactly map onto anyone despite their clear Germanic inspiration.

Gondor is also heavily inspired by various regions of Italy, complete with internal strife and ruling princes who have discretion about sending armies to the Pope Steward to defend Rome Minas Tirith. Tolkien insisted that the rejuvenated Gondor at the end of LOTR is not Northern European, but essentially a restored Roman Empire with its seat at Rome. He identified various areas of Italy as the real life counterparts to Gondor, most notably Venice/Pelargir and Assisi/Lossarnach.

However, Gondor is geographically far larger than Italy, large enough to extend to Greece and Turkey, and has influences from ancient Egypt as well. The Egyptian influence lies not only in Gondor’s embalming practices but their massive monuments, their religion (which also has Jewish influences), royal imagery (especially with regard to the crown), and the general trends of Gondorian culture.

None of these, of course, are perfect models of reference—though at least you could legitimately argue that the films’ casting choices for Gondorian Dúnedain weren’t actually accurate to “Tolkien’s vision,” as is often claimed. But these are probably the most recognizable models for Gondor, with strong connections to history—and even with those, the references are multi-layered and flexible.

Essentially: this particular genre of quasi-historical fantasy absolutely draws from real history, sometimes closely, sometimes less so, which makes it perfectly possible to talk about accuracy, appropriation, and so on, in the context of fantasy. At the same time, it’s complicated by the fact that references are never direct and are worked out in the context of their own stories—a complication that is silenced rather than addressed by dismissing the relevance of history.

“Monsters,” breathes Caspar. “That’s right. You are monsters. All of you. Murderers. Traitors.” He turns and spits, and glares at Sansa, and says, venomously, “Kinslayer.” [Joffrey decides to teach Sansa Stark a lesson in gratitude. Sansa learns something else altogether.]

Introducing: Ophelia Baratheon in Game of Thrones

As the only daughter and youngest child of Steffon Baratheon, Ophelia’s only job growing up was to marry a man that made her house stronger and could give her some sort of status. She was happy to do so; anything to make her father happy.

Then her older brother Robert rebelled against the throne and took the title of King from the Mad King Aerys Targaryen. After that, everything changed for Ophelia. Her brother married Cersei Lannister of Casterly Rock, and Ophelia was shipped off to King’s Landing with him.

Upon her arrival in King’s Landing, Ophelia was greeted by Ser Jaime Lannister, and from that moment on, she knew that she would never look at another man the way she looked at him. And just like that, her job to marry to increase her status and House strength blew right out the window. Because she knew that if the man proposing to her was not Jaime Lannister, she did not want him.

Despite being told by everyone who knew of her feelings toward Jaime that he would never love her back, she still found herself in his bedchambers almost every night (the nights he wasn’t keeping his twin sister company). She knew as a member of the King’s Guard, he could never wed, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t have fun?

I have had this thought for the first time a few months ago. I really did not have the energy to write something about it at that time- so I am attempting a mere summary of it now.

To me Tyrion is almost like Icarus. Not so much as in point wise parallels but more in the idea they represent. In the popular version of the myth, Icarus and his father were imprisoned by King Minos and hence they fashioned wings to escape. Despite his father's warning Icarus flew too close to the sun, overwhelmed with achieving the impossible. Flight for man!! An ambition too unnatural for fate to entertain. And so Icarus fell, plunging into the deep of sea and drowned.

Ever since we have been introduced to Tyrion Lannister ( through Jon Snow I think) it has become clear that for the world at large, Tyrion is someone who is expected to curb himself from all that is allowed to every other ( trueborn) Lord. He is the imp, the dwarf, the half man, the Lannister made of "bones, blood and clay" as opposed to the fine spun gold of his siblings and so his very appetite is taken to be that of a pervert. His being is mocked, his ambition loathed, and his desire shunned.

Tyrion advises Jon:

Let me give you some counsel, bastard," Lannister said. "Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you."

I think it has been discussed in Tyrion's side of the fandom that he plays a part in front of most people. He leans into the stereotype of being trecherous and voracious lecher almost defiantly, armoring himself with the identity Westeros has forcefully placed on him. It is as much an armor as it is a prison when it comes to his relationship with Tywin Lannister. For Tywin his heir is his golden boy Jaime, the lion of the Kingsguard, able bodied enough to carry a longsword. And yet as much as Tywin may loathe it, it is canon that his ideal heir is Tyrion. Down to their penchant for theatrics even!- power is as much about holding it as in flaunting it- melting down Ice ( I remember something about Tywin being miffed that his family never had a greatsword, a status symbol for old houses I think) into longswords-the song rains of castamere etc. So of course the image akin to a demigod is very precious to the lord of Casterly Rock, and the only thing that mars it, is Tyrion's very visible disability.

For that Tyrion is forever guilty and his audacity to keep surviving is taken as a personal affront. So Tywin devises for Tyrion a prison of humbleness. He is given the charge of sewers to knock him down, his sexual being is often brought up to shame him and he is often warned off from entertaining prostitutes ( funny how then Cersei discovers exactly what her father had been doing moments before his death).

But Tyrion's Icarus moment comes almost ironically. His father presents to him the wax wings- the charge of KL till he is to get to the capital. And boy did Tyrion fly! High! High!! Higher than he could have believed Tywin would ever let him. His freedom had been to question the political agendas and the established loci of power in Red Keep and KL. In finally being able to call the shots like he would have been allowed had he too been spun from gold.

But where Daedalus never wished Icarus to fall, Tywin's "gift" of wax wings foretold Tyrion's eventual plunge. No sooner does Tywin get the opportunity than he decides, the "bastard" Lannister is done flying. His wings are melted first by undoing all that he has achieved, by not giving him recognition for what he has done in the battle of blackwater bay, and finally by trying him for Joffrey's murder. The imp is finally knocked down amongst mocking jeers of giant of Lannister

The laughter swelled twice as loud. Their mouths were twisted in merriment, their bellies shook. Some laughed so hard that snot flew from their nostrils.

Our Icarus is yet to die though..he is struggling in the choppy waters but he has yet to let go. Only time will tell if he will defy fate and fly, becoming the harbinger of winged beasts to Westeros.

#tyrion lannister #it's the fact that he almost drowned on his journey to meet dany but then was rescued #Dany who can fly literally #tyrion who is now determined to usher in a new era #the fact he has already met mummer's dragon #Icarus-wax wings-mummer's dragon-THE dragon-would the wax wings then finally become wings of blood clay and bone?

HISTORY

as the second son of a second son, willas was never supposed to inherit anything, but the gods clearly had other plans. his uncle, the original heir to ashemark, perished young without any heir and so willas’ father became heir and then the ruling lord. when willas was born, it appeared he fell into the role his father was meant to be had tragedy not struck: the second son, the spare, the forgotten. and that he was.

lord castor had previously commanded the lannister’s army and so placed great value on swordsmanship and the type of strength and attitude he expected his knights to possess. his first son, jayme, lived up to those expectations. he would become a kngiht at a very young age and while as an adult he would develop a reputation for being unyielding and even harsh, he was the perfect heir to lord castor. but if jaime was a fighter then willas was certainly not. he was a quiet child, always had his head in a book, and showed little interest in learning to wield any weapon. a clear disappoint in his father’s eyes.

thankfully, lady genna marbrand shared none of her husband’s views (many say that was why their marriage remained a political no matter how many years passed). she adored both of her sons; however, it was undeniable that she gave more attention to willas so he didn’t feel neglected. he had clearly inherited his love for books and thirst for knowledge from her. his mother encouraged him to focus on his studies rather than following in his father’s footsteps. however, this didn’t help lord castor view his spare heir in a positive light.

when willas was ten, his mother decided to send willas to live with her family at the crag, believing it would be a better environment for him. she was correct. without his father constantly voicing his disappointment in him, willas thrived. his mother’s family treated him like another son, and he was much happier at the crag, coming out of his shell more, though his quiet nature could never be fully shaken. willas lived with his extended family for the rest of his childhood and even into adulthood. he had no reason or desire to return to ashemark.

willas was practically cut off from him family when he moved to the crag. only his mother wrote him letters but when he was thirteen even those letters abruptly stopped. it was moons before he understood why; his mother had passed away after giving birth to her fourth child. the baby, a boy, also hadn’t survived. since that day, willas has had practically no communication with his immediate family.

willas was elated when he was asked by king to be his master of laws after the previous one resigned due to old age. at 28, he moved to king’s landing and assumed the role immediately. he took his role very seriously and still does to this day.

however, he has become slightly disillusioned with the current targaryen king due to some recent decision. but at his core willas is loyal to his king and hopes that these recent decisions have been mere follies that will not be repeated. except his doubt continues to grow. it has made him be more dedicated to his role and a stronger advocate for decisions he believes should be done, hoping that a strong voice of reason with temper the king’s rashness.

willas never had any intentions to return to ashemark. he visited the crag when he could but never ashemark. but then an illness swept through the marbrand’s lands and not even the ruling family was spared. both lord castor and lord jayme fell ill. neither would recover. willas found out about the sickness and later on that his father and brother had succumbed to it when the rest of the small council did. sitting in the council chambers, he discovered that he was now the ruling lord of ashemark - a role he had never desired nor felt prepared for.

for the first time in twenty-four years, willas returned to his family’s home once the sickness passed for his father and brother’s funerals. he stayed there for the appropriate amount of time, helping put affairs in order and learning what it meant to run ashemark, but as soon as he was able, he returned to king’s landing. though he stayed informed about what was going on back at ashemark via frequent letters and did his duty as a ruling lord from afar.

a year has now passed since the deaths. willas is still adjusting to his new role as a ruling lord but despite his own insecurities he is committed to being a good lord and proving his father, who never thought his younger son would achieve anything, wrong.

#i. willas marbrand — intro.#rfms.intro #( my nerdy sad boy )
