When You Come Up With A Title For A Fic And Later It Only Solidifies It

I've been slowly obsessing more and more about asoiaf fashion in the past 6 month, and really developing in details how it would look in different regions, classes, etc (the North being the one I have the most complete picture on). And I wanted to put some of this to paper instead of endlessly turning it in my head before I go to sleep. Usually when I costume design it is confined to a specific character, I've never done like worldbuilding fashion design, but idk asoiaf really gets me going.

So here's the North ! I could have kept going and added more stuff, but if I try to spew all the shit that's in my head I'm never gonna finish this x) So I focused mostly on great houses/nobles fashion for this. Maybe I'll do a sheet for smallfolk or practical clothing like battle armour after I'm done with all the kindoms. I already have to continue the anti AI quest...

I think some people forget that some literature and some media is meant to be deeply uncomfortable and unsettling. It's meant to make you have a very visceral reaction to it. If you genuinely can't handle these stories then you are under no obligation to consume them but acting as if they have no purpose or as if people don't have a right to tell these stories, stories that often relate to the darkest or most disturbing parts of life, then you should do some introspection.

Forgot to mention Robb/Nell art is for their coronation lol

Also as a side note, I cannot draw men I’m sorry 😭 Robb was easy enough cuz he’s kinda feminine in a way (at least in my interpretation) so there’s that 💪

Okay guys… I PROMISE this is the last Haunt/Hunt fanart (for now)

Mainly Nell +Robb (also some Dana and Lysara) for @dwellordream

“Why does Nell look so different now? Didn’t she have bangs before?” Uhhhh

So... I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about "life-changing writing advice" all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.

I'm going to try it.
