the kingsguard is one of my favorite parts of asoiaf. this honor that is fawned over and songs are written about. but it’s all fake. only those apart of the noble group understands it’s deep faults and ignore it. all these great men sit idly by as their king abuses their subjects. they are meant to protect the innocent unless it’s their king that is causing the pain. if the king says fall on their sword they would. that’s not honor or loyalty that’s plain stupidity. they are brainwashed into thinking honor is to not ask question and do whatever is asked and if they die pretty enough they might have a song sung about them. BOOOOOO!!!

Forkroot : The Witch Catcher
(A Mentos : The Freshmaker Parody)
[Video ID: (Cut video footage from The Wheel Time Episode 2 filtered to look a 90’s commercial. Open with a quick pan over a forest into a white cloak camp, Eamon Valda’s hand sets his cup down as a boy approaches. Switch to view of him smugly at a table. Cut to Moiraine giving Lan her ring as a company of white cloaks approach. She talks with Geofram Bornhold until Valda jingles his ring collection. Egwene watches from afar next to Bela the horse. Lan gives Valda side eye as he checks Moiraine, Valda gives a cheeky smile. Cut to Valda smiling holding a different Aes Sedai ring. Cut to view of angry Yellow Aes Sedai bound and gagged at the stake. Valda wipes some blood from his face joyfully, and reclines back. Title appears next to view of reflective goblet: Forkroot The Witch Catcher.
for the drawing suggestions; maybe hunter with a trans flag or the collector?
[ID: a four panel comic strip featuring Hunter and The Collector from the owl house, set during king's tide. The first panel shows Hunter (with an exaggerated, tearful expression of fear) on the left while the collector floats on the right and smiles. They're both looking straight ahead. Text next to hunter reads "just saw uncle get gooped", while text next to The Collector reads "the one who gooped him". In the next panel, the collector looks at Hunter and says "so, a fellow he/they I see?. The next panel shows The Collector in the Foreground as Hunter looks back at them over his shoulder, before turning around in the next panel and exclaiming "I GUESS?!". The background of each panel is red. End ID]
Magnus, what if I told you that I combined both aspects of your request in the most obtuse way possible, all because this concept would not leave me alone? What then? (Click for quality I made poor choices with this canvas size)
day 3! line up of the Main Guys…. colors version uder the cut ^_<
mira being purple and pink is very special to me, ok. isa being tones of pink is very dear to me, ok… and odile and bonnie having opposite palettes is important to me, ok……?
i love how jaime and barristan are in their own way dismantling the idea of knighthood.
okay call me crazy but aerys kingsgaurd was the last good kingsguard. now i know that they blindly followed orders that hurt others and that doesn’t exempt them from being bad people just because they followed orders but take away the white cloak and those are good men. even jaime he was a cocky asshole, but i’d be too if i was him. he’s like 17 is a member of the kingsguard and one of the best fighters of the time, he was golden and beautiful. AND HE ALSO KILLED AERYS. so he isnt completely brainwashed. but barristan and jaime are both put into positions where they are no longer a white cloak/ the white cloak doesn’t matter.
barristan is kicked out of the white cloaks and has to rethink his whole life. he goes to daenerys and reflects on his past mistakes and how he can change that.
jaime is captured by the starks and his white cloak doesn’t matter. he had already been mulling over the fact that the kingsguard is a lie since he killed aerys. he is scorned and forgot what it means to be honorable and good. he see that in brienne and is reminded of the stories of honor from his childhood. he comes back to kingslanding and sees how the kingsguard lacks all honor that he was reminded of with brienne. this is of course excluding loras (i’m about to make a post about loras and jaime’s relationship).
