still wishing the blackfyre rebellion had succeeded can you imagine how funny it would be. so westeros used to be ruled by targaryens but they were so lame they got overthrown by their illegitimate cousins. platinum blondes overthrowing platinum blondes it's a revolution literally nothing changes except the ruling family's name. oh and no dragons still

top tip for gms: if you dont want your players coming up with some stupid fuck name for their party just have an npc call them a collective nickname like youre gently offering food to a scared stray dog from a distance where it feels safe enough to not bolt on sight
the thing about grrm is he doesn't think being ugly or unconventional looking is a bad thing and many, many of his characters are or have some radical change to their appearance that makes them less attractive by westerosi standards than before
my 8 year old has some emotional regulation difficulties, and I've done my best to help him with those.
unrelated, I gave him a shovel a couple of days ago and told him to go have fun in the field because I was tired.
He suddenly seemed happier, having less trouble breathing through disappointment and just being generally all around more cheerful and able to focus in school better. Sure, my partner had to pull him out of a six foot by three foot hole today, but he was stoked about it!
arianne's queenmaking plot was doomed to fail for multiple reasons, even if doran wasn't somehow forewarned, but i think this thought really highlights how flawed the plan was. and sorry, ari, it is a funny mistake to imagine cersei lannister's regency making anyone more willing to accept a queen regnant. there's underestimating misogyny outside of dorne and the added problem of knowing nothing about queen cersei as a ruler.
