Dany loosing her child twice is implying something. When Dany got pregnant with Rhaego, her and Drogo decide to conquer the Westeros and the price Dany willing to pay. She then goes against the nature and use blood magic to revive her husband and looses her baby. Then she burned a woman alive to bring dragons. When she miscarried second time as you mentioned that she chooses fire and blood by rejecting peace. Because she chooses to Mother of Dragons, she rejected Myhsa of people.

The symbolism is pretty obvious in that there is a clear dichotomy between being mother of humans and mother of dragons.

She had no control over her fertility problems. There are multiple potential reasons that made the loss of Rhaego inevitable, and the grasslands miscarriage probably so, and all of them ultimately lead back to dragons and how they affected her ancestors dating back to Valyria and right down to Viserys' abuse of her. That's a cruel legacy she had no say in.

But the Mhysa role is the one she chose for herself. The one that she tried to embrace in opposition to her previous indulges in violence and conquest. In opposition to her own dragons. That's the one she herself rejects in this chapter. Right on the heels of discovering her "moon blood" and avoiding the conclusion of a miscarriage, she juxtaposes Hazzea (the human girl, forgetting her name) with the Mother of Dragons.

And she chooses the dragons.

Confronted with the choice between two fundamentally incompatible potential legacies that she could use to compensate for the loss of her fertility, she chooses the dragons over the people.

The miscarriage and infertility is a prompt, if you will. It's the equivalent of Bran's paralysis, which will confront him with the choice between immense power (even the power to prevent his own injury) and the opportunity to do the right thing and save others at his own expense.

You have to choose.

Dany keeps choosing the dragons.

Captured and tortured... one will have a much worse ending. Jason chooses to sacrifice himself.

I’m actually LOVING how Rick Riordan, and the other writers of the show, took his initial concept of a Percabeth rivalry fueled by that of their parents and kind of turned it on its head?

Now, instead of Annabeth being wary of Percy because he’s a son of Poseidon, he’s wary of her because she made a callous impression on him. They get off to a rocky start even before finding out who Percy’s father is, and when they finally do, Annabeth doesn’t care. Instead of them fighting because of who their parents are, they’re fighting over their own opposed worldviews.

Then, instead of them arguing over which of the gods is cooler and who was right in the story of Medusa, they realize that, just like Medusa, Annabeth is a victim of her mother and that, unlike Medusa, she is a far kinder and stronger person, unwilling to repeat the cycle of hurt. They realize that, like his father, Percy often acts without considering potential consequences and that, unlike his father, he is a far kinder and stronger person, willing to step up for someone he wronged and whom he cares about.

Instead of Percy and Annabeth’s rivalry being focused on that of their parents, it’s focused on who they are, themselves. But the path to friendship is still the same: a realization that they have each other’s backs, no matter what, because they’re not their parents after all.

#i kind of typed this in my essay voice because I knew it would be long so ignore that #also I don’t actually know which of the other writers are playing big parts in percabeth’s story so threats why I put a focus on Riordan #that’s* #aaaaanyhoo if I’m being honest I definitely prefer this version of percabeth #AND I like that Medusa said ‘‘we are not our parents until we choose to be. you three have chosen’’ implying that she thinks they’ve chosen #to be their parents only for Percy to reveal in the next episode that he’s chosen to be better than his father. #that was a really nice touch 👌👌👌 #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #pjo disney+ #percy jackson disney+ #percy jackson #annabeth chase #Percabeth #rick riordan #Medusa #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo tv spoilers

Dear Rouka, I am a Jonsa fan just for context in this ask and I was wondering something about Robb's will. I haven't seen a post specifically on this but please forgive me if it's a repeat.

Obviously the show glossed over the Stark identity drama central to Jon's character and it doesn't seem like that will be the case in the books. But do you think, 'Winterfell belongs to my sister Sansa' will hold true if he's made aware of the will, prior to Targ reveal? Do you think that there would be strategic consult with Sansa? I have seen powderpowderblue discuss a shared leadership between Jon and Sansa as regents for Rickon (thank you powderpowderblue) so you all are already on the ball with that, but I'm wondering here from an emotional angle/heart in conflict with itself.

How do you think Sansa will feel? How do you think Jon will feel about it in respect to Sansa? Do you think a developing Jonsa romance will affect it? How do you think the will will interact with Jon's parentage reveal? I'm trying to figure out how it all fits together, and I wonder if GRRM is, too. Trying to maximise the drama is key... but what drama... to me that's probably why Jonsa is going to happen just because it's maximum drama and justifies their developing character arcs.

Sorry if that's too many questions, I'm just not sure how it all fits together character-wise.

Hi anon!

I don't think anyone has a truly specific scenario laid out how the northern succession drama is going to go down, nor the RLJ reveal. Both depend on the specific way and timing of how other influencing factors will go down. Jon's path post-stabbing, the mode and itinerary of Sansa's return, the retrieval of Rickon, the timing of Howland Reed's introduction into the current plot, the travel of information regarding Bran's survival and journey North (that Liddle met him, after all) and so on and so forth. Too difficult to predict in the details, even if the thematic direction is not that hard to pin down: reunion, reconsolidation, return to stability, the pack survives.

But I am a bit partial to one interesting scenario that was suggested to me by an anon in this post. Which is that Robb's will and RLJ may be revealed to Jon at the same time by Howland Reed, creating an immediate and character-defining need for a choice. I like that it would both tighten up the speed of events and heighten the tension of what this means for Jon by laying out immediate consequences - both good and awful.

It would also mirror the choice of Stannis offer, to which Jon's answer was sticking to his own chosen identity ("he had his answer then") and preserve the contrast to Robb who discounted the importance of "the girls" (leading to the necessity of this will) by choosing "the girl" - his mother Lyanna - to matter more than a title he had craved all his life.

Sansa has consistently not put personal value on her claim, as opposed to the desire to go home or her growing attachment to the castle of Winterfell, so I don't see that changing. Robb's choice is likely to hurt her on some level, though his unwillingness to trade her would hurt more if she were made aware of it. I don't see this as the teased conflict between Sansa and Jon that the show created mainly because a) Sansa isn't doing the nonsensical Ramsay plotline to "earn Winterfell through suffering" and b) book!Jon cares about her claim very much. They would theoretically support each other's claims, as opposed to fighting over it. Not to mention the known survival of Bran and Rickon that would nix the conditions under which the will was created in the first place.

The connection to Jonsa I see is that it's the one real reward in this for Jon. The initial inner conflict will be all about identity and succession, with Jon choosing the truth and his mother and the murky darkness of his conception, no matter how it hurts, but the resolution will likely involve both Jon and Sansa embracing the opportunity it opens up for them to freely admit their feelings to each other. And perhaps even take advantage of their own relative unimportance in the succession (inconveniently married girl, half-Targ cousin) to pull a Romeo and Juliet/Jace and Sara secret mutual commitment in the godswood move, like the two dramatic teenagers they are. Which should make for a fun tension when Jon and his former "friend" Tyrion meet again.
