Another visualization:

Yeah, totally normal thing for a 15 year old boy to do: sling a 700 pound animal onto a horse. You know what, never mind. Starks are just freaks I think.

(As far as I remember the only other person with him in this scene would have been Theon but like even with two teenagers that's a massive fucking animal to be slinging around.)

#this one is probably just a consequence of Martin not knowing what a teenager or an elk is but it's still canon so....#i know we all talk about stronk Jon squeezing frozen lemons and shit but like?????????? what is in Winterfell's water???????#you really have to draw this shit out to see how insane some of it is #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #cw dead animal #robb stark #game of thrones #yeah yeah okay fine ''he field dressed it'' or whatever let me have this

I often wonder about the quote-unquote logistics of Corvo the Black/Emily the Butcher endings. Emily makes more sense to me, in a way, carving her way through the empire only to come back with blood caked under her fingernails and realising that she did everything her father refused to do 15 years ago. but why did Corvo have a similar choice?

what happens to the statues later? does Emily keep her father trapped in stone? does Corvo look at his daughter, frozen in the moment and considers freeing her? is he at his deathbed when he finally reaches out and cups Emily's cheek, freeing her into a carcass of an empire that he gutted for her, in her name, in the name of her mother?

when I first heard of the endings I thought that if you reach very high chaos, you are locked into this choice - Corvo or Emily tries to free the other and the stone just doesn't budge. they are trapped. the quest is over but the world knows that the bloodshed was extreme and this is the punishment they have to face

#li.txt #dh #dishonored #kinda like the high chaos brigmore witches ending #there is no reason for corvo to kill daud if you finish BW in high chaos. but he still does. because the world Knows #but the very Active choice of the player and by extension the character to take the throne and keep their last family locked in stone....#its certainly a choice. and it makes me wonder about many a thing #i really wish we got more info #karnaisbear mentioned that itd be cool if we got comics expanding on alternate endings and like arkane. arkane can we please get those #I just really wanna know What It Was Like to live under the rule of Emily or Corvo in the very high chaos endings #and the fact that it seems like they can still free the other person? that adds so much more angst and tension to it #is there a time limit? do years pass and does corvo grow old and weary and thinks that yes #he has done his job and he has done it well. and the empire is righted and he can hand it back to emily now #and he cups her cheek and it remains cold marble #and all he did was for nothing #and he cries #(can u tell ive been reading thru the corvo the black tag)#not to mention something similar to that but with emily!!#imagine she grows old! older than corvo was when he was frozen!#the century is coming to a close when she finally frees him and she is older so much older and corvo will have to live with losing her #in every single impossible way he has lost her #and then he gets to bury his daughter #these tags got so dark wtf

The Frozen Shore is a stretch of coastline that sits on the Bay of Ice, beyond the Wall.

The men of The Frozen Shore have queer names, as they name themselves after beasts of the region, while their women clad themselves in sealskins. They employ chariots made of walrus bone, pulled by dogs as large as direwolves, as transport, and also breed reindeer. Huts of ice are used by some inhabitants of the Frozen Shore, and while most free folk worship the old gods, some coastal tribes worship gods of snow and ice.

There are at least two factions of them, one wearing antlers on their hats and others wearing walrus tusks and the two sorts do not get along with each other. Wildlings from this area have oft raided the Westerosi Bear Island, and prior to Mance Rayder negotiating peace, the men of the Frozen Shore, particularly the walrus men, warred with the cannibal ice-river clans

The Great Walrus is one of the free folk leaders from the Frozen Shore.

❝A savage folk. The men are bad, the women worse.❞ — Tormund to Jon Snow (’A Dance with Dragons’, Chapter 58)

i think it’s so funny jon sends dareon to recruit people to join the nights watch with his songs.

this is the equivalent of the U.S. military going to high schools and talking about how awesome the military is and bribing kids with like keychains and shit to sell their soul to the army.

#jon is Uncle Sam #I WANT YOU FOR THE NIGHTS WATCH #who in their right mind #would hear a song and be like yeah time to go sit on a frozen wall #I feel Jon did that cause that would’ve gotten his ass to join the nights watch #Jon loves a good song #game of thrones #jon snow #book jon snow #asoiaf books #dareon the bard #asoiaf #nights watch

The Dreamer With the Power of a Goddess

This is a trope/archetype I CAN'T FIND A NAME FOR ANYWHERE. So I decided to write an essay on it instead. This is also the trope/archetype I identify with more than anything but moving on.

The basic framework for this trope is:

A girl who tends to be really quiet, shy, kind, sweet, and empathetic

They have a HUGE imagination

They tend to be INFP's, which is why there is an emphasis on compassion and imagination in their character

This imagination pours out into raw, goddess-like power, usually creative in nature (but that can vary)

This power is limitless

This power is inherently tied to all that they are internally, including their emotions

This power, when unable to be controlled, is a sizable threat to other people around her

Due to the power's size, trauma, or lack of trust from the people around her, the Dreamer usually struggles with controlling the power inside of them.

This leads them to develop big self-trust issues, and may even lead them to thinking they are a monster

People scared by their power will often call for their immediate execution because "no one should have that power"

They manage to learn how to control their power in the end

So I am going to give a few examples (though they don't all manifest the same way), and one runner-up.

1) Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch (MCU version)

Wanda Maximoff is the quintessential example of this character. No matter the canon, Wanda has the ability to reshape reality as we know it. In the MCU, Wanda's biggest escape were sitcoms - especially ones that emphasized normal family life - because her life was one difficult, horrible, traumatic event after another. Her escape was a very specific version of storytelling.

To add to that, with every bout of grief Wanda suffered, her goals in life changed. She lost her parents, she joined HYDRA to take down Tony Stark. She lost her brother, she joined the Avengers (that Tony funds) to protect the world. She lost Vision, she transformed Westview. She lost her kids (and Vision again), she tried to use highly dangerous and corruptive magics to find her family again.

Every step she took was either to avenge or recreate family. Sitcoms were the thing that gave Wanda this. She dreamed of a normal, happy, safe, healthy family and as a result, the power of her imagination and creative abilities made just that for her. Unfortunately, when she is using her power from a place of grief, she can take away people's free will, imprison them in another reality, and she can be corrupted by darker forces.

In the comic we have the infamous "No More Mutants" moment because she has been driven insane with grief.

Grief is Wanda's biggest flaw and hurtle in any medium she is in. She has the power of a goddess, but she has only dreamt of having a safe and normal life. As a result, she fits the archetype well but has yet to actually (in the MCU) reach the point where she masters herself and as a result, her powers. But the fact that she has to master herself is proof that her power is tied to her emotions.

When Westview was made, it was her making it. But it was formed subconsciously of her own pain and grief. She didn't choose to imprison all these people (though she certainly chose to stay that way). What we saw was Wanda's inner world spilling out all across Westview. Sitcoms, the last source she had of happiness and family.

When she realized she was hurting everyone, she retook control of her powers and relinquished this paradise she had built for herself. She took responsibility for her actions as much as she possibly could.

2) Elsa, the Fifth Spirit (Frozen/Frozen 2)

Elsa's entire arc is about her magic. From mastering it to discovering what it is actually for. It is inherently tied to her emotions, and more importantly, whether she trusts herself or not.

If she believes fear is the enemy, she cannot control her powers because she believes fear is the thing making it uncontrollable.

If she believes conceal, don't feel, don't let it show, it has a limited amount of control over her magic.

If she believes she is safe and in control, she is in control.

Also, more than that, Elsa is an artist. This has been established in the Frozen 2 art book. Elsa is a literal artist who makes her own clothes, her own castles, her own snow guard, and so much more.

However, as we all know, Elsa's magic is winter. She does not have raw creative power like Wanda Maximoff. Everything she makes is created of aspects of winter - snow, ice, wind. However, Elsa still fits the bill for this trope because where her imagination goes, her magic goes. It is all just made of raw winter.

Now to say she is a dreamer... is not really something that can be established until Frozen 2, if that. Elsa's character - as many people like to argue - has always been regal, responsible, pragmatic. However, it could also be argued that she was this way because of the trauma created by her childhood and powers. She had to be in control at all times.

However, I will make one argument in the dreamer direction... Elsa's power aren't truly in balance until she can live out in nature full-time. The girl froze an entire sea with her power by the end of the movie. Nature is... wild, free, limitless in its power, and has no rules to speak of. Elsa lived her life with only rules for so long and by the end, she has no rules at all to hold her back (in my opinion, love, connection, community, and companionship are not the same thing as rules).

Elsa is, effectively, her magic. They are one and the same. Which means to have such a wild force inside her is an indicator that Elsa was always wild to begin with. She just also loves fiercely, which is why she was so controlled for a lot of her character arc.

3) Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons (Game of Thrones/ASOIAF)

Okayyy, I am going to be referencing the show a lot because I have only read the first book of the series.

Daenerys, before she married Drogo and gets her dragon eggs, is the definition of a dreamer. She's in an abusive situation with her brother resulting in her having to insulate. A lot. She is a young girl who dreams of home, just like her brother. Except while he dreams of dragons and Westeros, she dreams of Braavos and the lemon tree.

The two main reasons I give her the "dreamer" label: 1) Dany has been typed as an INFP over and over and over 2) Her evolution throughout the first book is, in part, the strengthening of her faith. Rising strength, prophetic dreams, and the return of dragons to the world at the end. It all required Dany to trust in herself and the guidance she received all those months traveling with her khalasar.

Magic happens for Dany a lot. Whether she is the Prince that was Promised or not, this cannot be denied. When they receive the dragon eggs at her wedding, those dragons could have impacted either her or her brother. Yet she was the one absorbing the power, getting the dreams, and getting stronger. The dragon magic made her more of what she already was.

The dreamer part (in terms of imagination) really came out at the end of the first book when she brought dragons back in the world. She performed a ritual off of intuition alone that had been lost to the centuries. So many had tried to restore dragons to no avail. But it was when the last dragon dynasty was truly gone and the last dragon herself was at her lowest that the power of the dragons was returned. Dreamers have faith and Dany has loads of it.

The goddess part does not come out in creation. It comes out in her dragons and in her leadership. I'm not trying to argue that Dany should be worshipped, but I am arguing that she fits the trope. All three dragons grow to immense side and it only takes one to level a whole city in under an hour. Yet, it is Dany's natural mercy that restraints what damage is done. Don't get me wrong - Dany has done damage. But it is her strength balanced with her kindness that prevents that power from being used the wrong way.

She has the destructive power of a goddess, and thankfully the wisdom to go with it (for now).

However, the fear that she is a monster is there. She went too far with crucifying the masters. Her dragons attacked innocent people, and almost her as well. She fears she will be a tyrant and a monster like her father. Yet, she is also learning that sometimes her strength is needed. Considering how much power she has amassed, she is going to be struggling with this conflict for the rest of her life.

4) Persephone, Goddess of Spring & Queen of the Underworld

Persephone is, archetypally, considered a dreamer by definition. As a child, she tends to be introvertive, quiet, and has a rich inner world. She was raised by a goddess who emphasizes community and the everyman, instilling in Persephone a sense of empathy for other people.

She is already a "goddess" at the beginning of her myth. However, by the end, she is both Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld. Whilst her power is not as creative as a few of the other examples, it is immense in its scope because it is the cycle of life and death itself. She raises life and descends with the dead. She cycles with the seasons and the gifts/struggles they bring. She rises into the living for half the year and watches over the dead for the other half. She has an immense responsibility.

Now, I cannot quite say whether the character fears her own power or not. In some modern retellings, she has such power that she fears (partially because her mother teaches her to). Rachel Smythe's Lore Olympus leans into the trope of limitless power for Persephone a lot more, whereas Nikita Gill's Great Goddesses puts an emphasis on her power of decay and death as something Persephone fears in herself.

Persephone's story is considered to be one of trauma. However, by the end of it, her quiet, kind nature is the thing that thrives and is reborn when she steps into her full, goddess power. She embraces all of herself and uses it all for the domain over which she rules.

Runner-up:

Riley Blue, August 8th Cluster (Sense8)

Riley is close. But not quite because she doesn't actually have goddess-like power.

However, I would like to argue that her power can touch just as much people. She is a DJ and when she takes to the stage, she can change a whole room. Riley's power is connection and she uses her music and her love to do just that.

She is a woman who has suffered immense grief and trauma. However, when she is at her best... she can help people escape. She can start revolutions.

Her music can change the whole world.
