LET'S CAST THAT ⤵

Sasha Luss as Shiera 🌊🌟

Though she never wed, she had many offers, and several lovers through the years. Duels were fought over the right to sit beside her, men killed themselves after falling from her favor, poets outdid each other writing songs about her beauty. Her most ardent admirer was her half-brother, Bloodraven, who proposed marriage to her half a hundred times. Shiera gave him her bed, but never her hand. It amused her more to make him jealous. -- So Spake Martin

too many years lost in history

aka i have the songs from six the musical stuck in my head and since it’s kind of a “playing into the stereotypes to interrogate the stereotype” take on the wives of henry viii, i thought the dramatic takes on the characters would mesh well with the mistresses (and wife) of aegon the unworthy. also i need something to do with my hands when as i listen to all the asoiaf audiobooks lmao

naerys targaryen

falena stokeworth

merry meg

(pretend it says daughters and not sons since they had all girls) (justice for merry meg, aly, lily, willow, rosey, and all smallfolk everywhere)

cassella vaith

bellegere otherys

barba bracken

missy blackwood

bethany bracken

jeyne lothston

serenei of lys

sorry i struggled with her lol, she and falena have the least amount of characterization so far. i’m excited for her though, just because of all the witchiness surrounding her, she has to have some interesting layers!

okay now everyone sing with me let’s go:

SO THEY HAD NO CHOICE

(*characters singing in background* SO WE HAD NO CHOICE)

BUT NOW ITS US ALONE

SO THEY HAD NO CHOICE

(SO WE HAD NO CHOICE)

WE’RE TAKING BACK THE MICROPHONE

IM GONNA RAISE MY VOICE

(WE’RE GONNA RAISE OUR VOICE)

GEORGE SAID WE ALWAYS NEED YOUR LOVE BUT NOW ITS TIME TO RISE ABOVE!

if you wanna know the songs, in case any of the lyrics interested you (go listen to six pls i love it):

every queen gets one song, and then there’s a song that introduces the holbein portraits and hans holbein, an intro song, and then two songs at the end where they realize they should stop fighting & imagine their lives if they’d been able to choose their paths.

naerys - catherine of aragon’s song “no way”

falena stokeworth - anne boleyn’s song “don’t lose your head”

merry meg - jane seymour’s song “heart of stone”

cassella vaith - catherine parr’s song “i don’t need your love”

bellegere otherys - anne of cleves’ song “get down”

barba bracken - anne boleyn’s song “don’t lose your head”

melissa blackwood - jane seymour’s song “heart of stone”

bethany bracken - katherine howard’s song “all you wanna do”

jeyne lothston - group number “haus of holbein”

serenei of lys - catherine parr’s song “i don’t need your love”

my lil ending song - finale group number “six”

#TOO MANY TIMES ITS BEEN TOLD AND I HAVE HAD ENOUGH LOVE STORIES TO GET OLD.

Lysene Fashion and Culture: Serenei of Lys and House Rogare

I like to think the Lysenes emulate Old Valyria by combining their own culture with the culture of Old Valyria.

Like clothing, my headcanon is their clothing is a combination of Assyrian Clothing and Ancient Greek Clothing.

At the same time I think even if the most Valyrian descendants are spread there they always have people from other ethnicities.

An example would be Serenei of Lys, if she indeed had the green eyes Shiera had, then it could be either because Serenei's family is mixed - whether it is her dad's side or her mom's side - or because of a magical reason (like the icy blue eyes of the others and Brynden Rivers' red eyes due to the connection of the First Men to the Children of the Forest) as Serenei was said to have been a witch, or because it was a simple genetic effect of blue eyes being able to be passed down as green to the descendants of people with blue eyes.

Also, Serenei could have ended up living with the Rogares who lived in the Perfumed Garden and that's how she eventually met Aegon IV.

...

Also, it would have been lovely to see Larra Rogare as queen and present herself at court with her own mix of Lysene and Crownlands' fashion.

Larra would have had an iconic style and I think if given the opportunity of trying to get used and accommodate at King's Landing Larra Rogare would have had a better impact on the raising of her children (my theory is that maybe Larra had no option but leave if she was raising her children under the Lysene culture and that Larra was already ill so she wanted to get a better treatment as obviously she did not trust the Maesters and needed more aid) as she would have been there for them and they would not have felt they had overcompensate by being too religious like Aemon and Naerys or just indulging in sloth as Aegon IV did, and even if Naerys did indeed show religious leanings anyway Larra would have accepted it, as unlike the Westerosi the Lyseni do not have trouble with their people worshipping different gods and yes that involves the Faith of the Seven, and in exchange Naerys would not have had to rely so much on the Faith and stood up for herself more.

In an effort to do homage to her family, Larra's elder sister Marra could have taught her children the dialects of Low Valyrian (Lysene, Tyroshi and Myrish) and eventually her great-granddaughter Aelinor spoke them as well as High Valyrian.

As it was said Marra had books, and Lysara seemed to have been politically active and ambitious, Larra also may have been an erudite who liked to learn more about the world and that was made the Maesters dislike her as well as Larra challenged everything they represented.

Granted, they were robbers but that does not mean all of them were ignorant; Larra's hardship with the Westerosi Language was due to it being so different to the Valyrian language, remember the languages Larra was able to speak were dialects of Low Valyrian.

Also, her wedding with Viserys must have happened when they deemed he was old enough to have children by seeing if he ever had 'certain dreams' during the night as his marriage with her had not been consummated until 134 A.C. when Viserys was twelve; Lyseni weddings surely involve Assyrian elements as well as Greek elements, Larra and Viserys' marriage was accepted because they had shown with Larra's pregnancy that Viserys was now able to have children and at that time they needed an heir - yes, I know Little Laena was technically the heir of her uncle Aegon III, but his regents did not like Laena's parents: Baela and Alyn.

Larra even wanted a Blessing Ceremony for her brother-in-law.

And in the end, her descendants became kings and queens.

what are your thoughts (and potential headcanons) about aegon iv's nine mistresses?

Ouffff well I gotta be honest I probably won’t have as many headcanons about them as I did for the daughters in law of Daeron and Myriah- but I’m more than happy to share my thoughts about them!

Falena Stokeworth

Thoughts: Groomer!!! Get lost lady you’re literally his dad’s age!!!!! Should’ve locked her up in Harrenhall and thrown away the key maybe!

Headcanons: Honestly I think canon already kind of spells it out for us given her age relative to his own, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she was preying on Aegon’s whole mommy issues deal in order to get into a relationship with him. Pain and suffering all around.

Megette

Thoughts: Honestly poor girl she deserved sooo much better :( pretty sure her whole deal was supposed to be another commentary on how nobility don’t actually give a shit about the smallfolk even when they’re lovers and all that, but goddamn I just feel bad for her :(

Cassella Vaith

Thoughts: Ngl another girl who deserved so much better- it’s kind of weird how they give her a description but not the other mistresses but hey who am I to judge- makes her easier to draw ig?

Headcanons: Oh she was absolutely psychologically tortured during her time with Aegon because that man is notttt capable of being nice to any woman. I imagine the reason she wasn’t married off after being returned home was because of how traumatized she was

Bellegere Otherys

Thoughts: Okay this may sound stupid as hell given all the shit I talked about Aegon prior to this but like…. Idc, I support her decisions in choosing one of the most rancid men in Westeros to be her lover. In her defense!!!! Pickings for royalty were very slim- her only other options were a former teen dad who’s still hung up on his ex wife and is always busy trying (and failing) to keep his nephews from dying, a member of the kingsguard who’s obsessed with his own sister, and Baelor, of course she was gonna go for Aegon! Bellegere can get the one exception because I think pirate women are really cool and tbh I think she’s also the only one who was with him for funsies before dropping his ass like a sack of potatoes when he got too annoying for her

Headcanons: Ngl I kinda like to think her daughter Nahra took up the whole trading/smuggling/pirating business after her, and Bellegere got to retire and chill in Braavos watching all the shit go down with the Blackfyre rebellions. Good for her <3

Barba Bracken

Thoughts: I mean…. She’s a bitch, but tbh she kinda deserved better too. Even if she is meant to be a bad person, she was also just a teenager when Aegon began sleeping with her and was mostly pushed forward by her own dad, and its sad that she then continued the cycle of abuse to her own sister :(

Headcanons: I kinda like to think she and Daena had a very toxic frenemy-ship, that’s my main reasoning to explain why Aegor was so loyal to Daemon lmao

Melissa Blackwood

Thoughts: I mean, she’s one of Naerys’ only canonical female friends so she gets an automatic like in my books. And also kinda funny that the Bracken/Blackwood slap fight actually caused another Targ civil by just pushing their female relatives in front of a horny king. She absolutely deserved so much better

Headcanons: I refuseeee to believe she died in childbirth, in my head she’s also retired chilling in Raventree Hall with her daughters and occasionally got updates from Brynden about the war crimes he was committing <3

Bethany Bracken

Thoughts: Deserved so, SO much better. Mr lord Bracken sir I will see you in HELL!!!!!

Jeyne Lothson

Thoughts: Only thing I have to say is…. Absolutely gothic horror girlie because holy shit. My god. Was George intentionally writing her story to be horrifying or was it a weird fetish- I’m hoping to god it was the former. Anyways she absolutely deserved so much better than all the adults in her life

Headcanons: For added flavor aka more horror! I do headcanon her to actually be Aegon’s daughter, and I believe Danelle was either her daughter or granddaughter because- well, we do definitely need to sprinkle in some more cursed bloodline shit to the house that’s already doomed cause they’re living in Harrenhall, yippe :))

Serenei of Lys

Thoughts: Boring as hellllll that she died from childbirth like- COME ON!!! Let the lady die from implosion, or slipping on a banana peel or something!!! Also kinda sucks that we barely know anything else about her! I want the lore George!!!

Headcanons: Due to lack of lore, I’m stealing someone else’s previous headcanon that she’s actually a Hightower bastard because 1. Absolutely hilarious and is absolutely the level of hustling scam-artistry that I would expect during Aegon’s reign, and 2. Kinda explains her whole deal- why Jon even brought her to court, why we know nothing about her past, why she’s so distant and kinda secretive. Shout out to whoever came up with that headcanon cause that lives in my head rent free forever now

There are many headcanons and hotakes i get randomly so here one that made my mind just explode and then numb for half an hour.

Serenei of lys, shiera seastars mother,was a descendant of saera targaryen or she was a daughter of aemond and alys's son, (hence why jon hightower gave her to the king.

Me personally the first one makes sense since it is stated that serenei was the last daughter from a valyrian family in lys,maybe she became aquainted with the hightowers after she visited them, since lys and oldtown are like great trade buddies.
