#ahhh this maybe being my fav web weave ever?? #these tags will be annoying but let me break this down #ok but queen of swords mistress of grief lady of tears - that is so her?? #especially considering all the people who had to die for this moment #also her helping kill one queen and that spiraling to her being queen consort… yeahh #I put Jessica there bc I feel like her relationship with Paul is so interesting #I think cass and alaric would have a really interesting dynamic #he is her ‘band-aid’ turned her duty - a position neither of them have been in #I put Ali and Aegon mainly bc I have this vision of cass having to crown alaric #both Alicent and Cassandra being women wrapped in duty even if it hurts #then I like the idea of her being of the sea.. her mom an iron islands girl married to a riverland boy #cass was pulled out of the sea! #and to end I had to out a quote about Cassandra of Troy #Helaena is much more a Cassandra like figure for the obvious reasons #but I like the idea of our Cassandra being someone who can sense doom #it has riddled her life #whew ok that was a lot #web weaving #fmo aus #fmo k&q au
