For the night is dark and full of terrors.

I must say that I’m quite happy with this. These guys are probably my favorite after the Starks. I mean they can be awful, but in an interesting way.

A Baratheon Family Christmas

It started with assuming that a Baratheon family Christmas would be pretty awful. Even before Robert and Renly died. Next came thinking how ridiculous Stannis would look in a paper hat and holiday sweater. And finally realizing of COURSE Melisandre would do the plum pudding.

Besides, I wanted to do something for the holiday.

It's a little rushed but I think it came out okay. I threw Davos and Daven in the background to fill in some empty space.

I hope you all have a very Happy Christmas.

Team Dragonstone

The rest of the King Stannis' team/ Baratheon family.

Selyse gotta hide those ears with funny hair/headwear haha, but also so fitting for her character to be very conservative in her fashion

Shireen turned out so sweet, but imagine that chin getting even stronger as she ages (had to age her up to teenager here, because you can't see any features on these sims kids..)

Meliandre is heavily inspired by Gong Lee, beacuse I picture Essosi people as more Asian in looks, and with very different styles of fashion that Westeros

Davos is just your average guy you know, and Devan is a light copy

Davos Seaworth: A Lifetime of Smuggling

An aspect of Davos' backstory which I do not believe I have seen discussed much, likely because to my knowledge it appears to have only been brought up fairly briefly, is the age of which Davos first became involved in illegal smuggling and the potential implications of this own his character, backstory and general morality.

The first time he had seen the Wall he had been younger than Devan, serving aboard the Cobblecat under Roro Uhoris, a Tyroshi known up and down the narrow sea as the Blind Bastard, though he was neither blind nor baseborn. Roro had sailed past Skagos into the Shivering Sea, visiting a hundred little coves that had never seen a trading ship before. He brought steel; swords, axes, helms, good chainmail hauberks, to trade for furs, ivory, amber, and obsidian.

Here Davos is shown reflecting on his experiences while serving upon the Cobblecat, which was the first ship he served on, and notes he saw the wall during this time and was "younger than Devan" at this point.

“My son is not quite twelve. I am the King’s Hand. Give me another letter, if you would.”

In this same chapter, Davos remarks that Devan is "not quite twelve", therefore indicating that Davos was presumably no older than eleven himself (at the maximin) when he first joined the crew of the Cobblecat. We do not know much of Davos' childhood prior to this, but it is known that he grew up in Flea Bottom which is the poorest slum of King's Landing.

The HBO show does state he is a "Crabber's son" (for the record though I have only ever seen clips of the show) but this does not appear to be mentioned anywhere in the books. Instead we get this;

“That may be so,” Davos said, “but when I was a boy in Flea Bottom begging for a copper, sometimes the septons would feed me.”

So we know young Davos was a beggar, so likely not from a family with any stable employment or means to support themselves. When Davos' family is brought up, only his wife and sons are mentioned. He is never alluded to having living parents, siblings, cousins etc. Given his family-oriented nature, one might also expect he'd be at least a bit guilty if he had abandoned any family to join the Cobblecat's crew (although granted it has been decades). So while I do not think its outright stated that Davos is an orphan, it seems likely.

I feel the reason why this might be important to note, and why it might have some notable implications, is because it shows how and why Davos became involved in smuggling in the first place. One criticism I have seen of Davos' character a few times is that he does not necessarily feel like the type of man who'd break the law for profit for many years, as he is one of the most morally upright and honest characters in ASOIAF.

While I do think these criticisms have some merit, I also think that there is nothing about being a criminal which necessarily means Davos would prevent Davos from being a generally moral man. This is especially the case in Westeros, which is a highly stratified feudal society where the commons have little protection or upward morbility.

On this same note; there is also another thing worth mentioning when considering the time Davos become a smuggler... the tenure of Tywin Lannister as Hand of the King.

A Wiki of Ice and Fire calculates Davos' birthdate as being no later than 260, although notes that Davos was likely born a few years earlier. Tywin was Aerys' hand from 262–281 AC, and one of his famed actions is removing the pro-smallfolk reforms. I've seen this theorised as contributing to the eventual rise of the Kingswood Brotherhood and their initial popularity with the smallfolk.

So judging by what we know; Davos was born into extreme poverty in a society in which distinctions between classes are part of the law, and likely grew up during a time where the rights and conditions of commoners were being taken away and decreased.

I do not mean to claim Davos is free of fault; he has cheated on his life, he associates with morally ambiguous folk such as Salladhor Saan (A pirate who has no scruples with pillaging innocent civilians) or Stannis Baratheon (a very fascinating character as well).

But I do think this history and context could be worth noting to inform how Davos grew up, and how he is the man that he is. He got into smuggling when he was young enough to possibly not fully grasp the implication of this, and likely continued all those years because smuggling was his main skill-set to support himself, and later his family.

Transitioning to being a legitimate merchant would likely carry a number of obstacles; having to explain where he gained his wealth and cargo he'd have to sell at first, paying tariffs, making himself more well-known to authorities which could risk his old crimes being uncovered and making it easier to arrest him for them. I do not think it is a contradiction between Davos generally being good-natured, but also continuing to do the (dishonest) job he is best at. Especially when his commitment to his family is such a major part of his character that it also likely was why he continued the job of a smuggler to support them.

Opinion on Edric Storm and Shireen Baratheon as a romantic ship? Or Devan and Edric or Devan and Shireen?

A positive opinion: they are all very cute. Maybe my favorite is EdricxShireen.

But imo the best Shireen ship is ShireenxAegon/Young Griff. Does it have some textual basis? No. Do I think it has some chance to happen? No. Do I care? No.

He found the maester seated at his long wooden table covered with books and scrolls, across from the three children. Princess Shireen sat between the two boys. Davos - pg 732

Davos walks into Pylos's chamber where he is still giving the Shireen, Edric, and Davos's son Devan, their lessons. Not counting one character study, I believe this is the first time I've drawn Pylos in this series.

He's one of the few characters the narrative doesn't imply anything bad about, and It's always nice to draw the relatively happy moments in this cruel book. For some reason, this scene always reminds me of a scene from Terry Pratchett's Thief in Time, where the headmistress enters Susan's classroom having heard something strange going on only to see the children sitting around Susan like "supplicants around some sort of altar of knowledge "politely waiting for her to go away.

Devan Seaworth, Squire to King Stannis Baratheon. “My brothers have ascended to the Hall of Light, to sit beside the Lord. I will pray for them at the nightfires, and for you as welll, Father.” - Devan Seaworth This kid is kind of a nothing character, but he seems like a nice kid, and I think it’s quite sweet how Melisandre looks out for him in the books.
