#Battle of the Trident

[amber-laughs]

i cannot imagine that immediately killing Rhaegar was the plan. Robert and Ned both wanted to know where Lyanna was and Rhaegar had the answer. surely they wanted to take him captive and “sharply question him” but, in my opinion, Robert jumped the gun

“I’m not a groomer, I’m just a looser”

-Rhaegar Targaryen’s reported last words while playing the lyre as he saw Robert Baratheon arriving in the trident.

A Game of Thrones, Daenerys I

“I shall kill the Usurper myself,” he promised, who had never killed anyone, “as he killed my brother Rhaegar. And Lannister too, the Kingslayer, for what he did to my father.”

“That would be most fitting,” Magister Illyrio said. Dany saw the smallest hint of a smile playing around his full lips, but her brother did not notice.

Nodding, he pushed back a curtain and stared off into the night, and Dany knew he was fighting the Battle of the Trident once again.

"Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died."

Daenerys II -pg 330

Ser Jorah tries to explain to Daenerys just why she will need to get her hands dirty to invade Westeros. To make her see things his way, he uses Rhaegar Targaryen as an example of how honor and nobility do not always work

I did this picture as an afterthought, having forgotten it was in this chapter until I reread the chapter to get the description of Astapor right. The composition is similar to the one I did of Robb executing Ricard Karstark. Though I think it works better because Robert is farther off. Having said that, I probably should have put Rhaegar’s body lower down.

"prince asgore married commoner toriel this princess toriel married commoner asgore that" consider: prince asgore courted princess toriel of the neighbouring kingdom and they married during the war against the humans in order to unite all of monsterkind under one common banner and ensure that both of their peoples would be taken care of no matter what the outcome of the war was

#(and of course because they were deeply in love but that goes without saying i hope) #also consider. what their splitting meant for their kingdom and for their people #anyways. i have a whole backstory being written and the brainrot is festering #tori definitely lead them into battle btw. with asgore by her side #side note but if asgore's magic lent him a trident i think tori's would lend her a scepter. bc she was the brains and asgore was rhe brawn #did i mention im terminally ill for these two btw. in case you couldn't tell #utdr #undertale #asgore dreemurr #toriel dreemurr #asgoriel

A Game of Thrones, Daenerys I

Yet sometimes Dany would picture the way it had been, so often had her brother told her the stories.

The midnight flight to Dragonstone, moonlight shimmering on the ship’s black sails.

Her brother Rhaegar battling the Usurper in the bloody waters of the Trident and dying for the woman he loved.

The sack of King’s Landing by the ones Viserys called the Usurper’s dogs, the lords Lannister and Stark.

Princess Elia of Dorne pleading for mercy as Rhaegar’s heir was ripped from her breast and murdered before her eyes.

The polished skulls of the last dragons staring down sightlessly from the walls of the throne room while the Kingslayer opened Father’s throat with a golden sword.

Just thinking about Summer being a representation of Bran, the Fisher King. Summer taking several wounds over the course of the story, notably one to the leg just as Bran did. Summer who goes beyond the ice wall to lands of snow (closer to lands of winter) and becomes emaciated…summer getting thinner and being wounded as winter nears/gets stronger. It’s almost like the changing of the seasons. We see that summer journeys to the lands of snow, biding his time before he returns - just as Bran will surely return. The return of Bran meaning the return of the summer. Have to wonder if we’ll see Summer (the direwolf) start to get bigger as spring is ushered in. Winter = death, but Spring = rebirth/growth. And after spring comes summer, when the summer king reigns.

#asoiaf #summer the direwolf #bran stark #valyrianscrolls #summer being called prince of the green by bran like #it’s giving oak king and holly king #it’s part of why I believe bran’s main role in the story is to set the seasons back to balance #the cyclical nature of time - the passage of time - being mirrored in his wolf’s body #not to mention the wacky time travel stuff going on with bran’s greenseer abilities #re the oak king and holly king: #my guess is that Jon and Bran are representing this cycle in asoiaf #Jon is the older brother - the oak king - who rules for half the year until midsummer #he’s strongest during the winter #then bran is the younger brother who comes into his throne during midsummer and will rule for the next half year #the two brothers battle every six month - essentially representing the changing of seasons and passage of time #I mention Jon because he’s got the whole corn king/spring/fertility deity thing going on #it fits in with the theory that Jon will rule in the winter and step down for bran #I tend to have similar but different thoughts #I believe bran as the rep of summer will rule down in the trident - harrenhal basically - as the green king #Jon will be in the lands of winter as an old man winter type figure - so that’s how he’s the winter king #the two brothers keeping the seasons in balance #I’ll write about this in detail one day…

So, here's a fun prompt!

What is a film/game/book/anything that has an all over the place, wack as fuck aesthetic and vibe....and yet it still works for you and you can't help but find it endearing?

I'll go first! For me it's the 2011 film "Immortals" with Henry Cavil

Among others, this acid trip of a film based on Theseus has stuff like:

A mural with the artstyle that modern Greek churches use to depict saints and bible scenes. In an ancient Greek setting

The titans aren't giant. They're regular sized folk with flaky, pitch black skin, who zerg rush you and die in slow mo. Also the movie seems to say that gods and titans are one and the same, Immortals who can kill eachother and that "titan" is a degoratory term for those who lost the war

The McGuffin is a bow that shoots energy arrows. This is treated as the most OP thing ever.

Theseus is constantly seen wearing pants. Like....a modern pair of long pants.... In an ancient Greek setting

Every single fucking city is built on a cliffside. This Greece seems to be just cliffsides and Giorgio de Chirico painting vibes

Oh, did I mention that the film uses the "Mexico" colour filter?

The headgear in this movie are INSANE. Whoever was the costume designer for this was having a FEILD DAY. We have stuff like: Ares' helmet has a mohawk of swords. Poseidon wears some bizarre, oversized ornate seashell earmuff looking....thing. some oracles wear a whole fucking chandelier on top of their heads. The main villain's helmet can best be described as a cross between the Hollow Knight's head and a vagina dentata

The whole Theseus myth is worked like this in the film: Theseus has to bury his mom in a goddamm labyrinth for some reason. The thread of Ariadne is Theseus' OWN BLOODY FOOTPRINTS he makes by slicing his leg open. And the minotaur is the villain's bull themed BDSM luchador henchmen (who also smashes some dude's balls earlier in the movie)

There is a part where Athena is hiding her presence with what is essentially magic body painting. This is never brought up again.

I will say tho the final battle where the gods are fighting the titans is EPIC. It's this bloody spectacle where every titan killed flies independently in slow mo, like MK 11 fatalities

I'm so curious to see your replies!!!! Tag your fave mutuals if you want, but this post is for all my followers to see!☺️☺️
