(or used to, until it became clear that us lads and lass put way more thoughts into it than the showrunners. This blog has now been converted into a salt mine with occasional jonerys fanart that are book based, thank you very much). Also blogging about The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander lately.
Dexter Sol Ansell, playing Egg (the future King Aegon V Targaryen), is best known for playing the (very) young Coriolanus Snow in the opening scene for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

I think Dexter is a perfect choice for Egg! He looks very HBO-Targaryen, and IMO has a strong resemblance to Leo Ashton (young Aemond in HOTD S1), as well as Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra). Of course he'll be shaving his head (poor kid), and with those light eyebrows, I'm sure he will be very very egg, lol.
Our new Dunk, Peter Claffey, from Portumma, Ireland, used to be a rugby player (he's 1.96m, 6'5"), but left the sport in 2018 and got into acting. Here's a clip from his agent's site, and for more videos see here.
I personally think this clip is highly convincing of Peter's potential in this role. "We could use a man-mountain like you", indeed.
I don’t have a lot of words right now but Steven Attewell, who you all reading this probably know as @racefortheironthrone , just passed away. He was a very great writer, friend, and person, and it’s a horrible loss.
Why everyone seems convinced that Dany and Snow are getting together? When she lands in Westeros wouldn't Young Griff be a better choice especially if he manages to unite Dorne, Stormlands and the Reach and maybe even King's landing . Why would she choose Jon? I don't see her saying I had a vision of a cloth dragon and a blue rose in an ice wall after taking medival drugs that some old wizards gave me so Jon's my nephew and Aegon isn't.
Bets are on Aegon being already married to Arianne Martell by the time Dany reach Westeros.
The blue rose vision is foreshadowing for us readers as well. It's not just about how / if Dany reflects on it in the future. Why did Martin put it there in the first place?
So I am reading Asos and reached where Catelyn and Robb are talking about who should Robb choose as his heir. Catelyn agrees that Sansa shouldn't count because she is a Lannister now but as soon as Robb names Jon she is like what about your sister's rights? wtf is wrong with you lady ?(props to Robb shutting her down)
You mean what's wrong with her for advocating equality between sexes yet being prejudiced against bastards? 1) She's a woman herself, and 2) said bastard is her husband's "son".
If we go strictly by traditional rules of succession, in Westeros, trueborn daughters (Arya) come before illegitimate sons (Jon). So to be fair, Catelyn's reply doesn't come out of absolutely nowhere.
Sansa wasn't removed from the line of succession because of her sex, but because (as you said) she was married to a Lannister.
And the reason Robb gives for not naming Arya his heir is that she's likely dead. It's not because she's a girl.
Imo, it's not just that Catelyn doesn't want Jon to inherit Robb's title and positions, it's probably also that she hasn't come to terms with Arya being possibly dead.

For some reason, I always arrive late to your art but every time I see it my brain collapses at how gorgeous it is. Your jonerys pieces are absolutely stunning and beautiful. I love them all. Thank you so much for sharing it.
omg thank you so much!! I haven't checked my account in forever and I'm not sure how long this has been sitting in my ask box for, but thank you thank you this is so so sweet of you to say xoxoxoxox
