And It Calls Right Back To Her Very First Scene: Does She Solve This Intricate, Multilayered, 180+ IQ,

*W h e r e ? !*

🕹️🎊🎟️

This is all of course hinging on the (not entirely unfounded) assumption that Jon is going to get the same resurrection as in the show.

Which will sting more for Jonerys shippers? Reviving him just in time for him to learn the horrible truth and want -100% to do with his aunt?

Or Martin going for broke and having him stay dead and nobody; not Bran and his visions of the past, not Sam finding secret records of Rhaegar annuling his marriage so he can wed Lyanna, nobody finds out Jon Snow's heritage. Ned Stark's greatest secret will forever go to the grave with him, and the cruelty and pointlessness of his death proves the final nail in the coffin of the Prophecy of Ice and Fire?

targ stans love book!jon now but will turn on him the moment he thinks dany is kinda weird 😭

Jon looking at the burned remnants of KL,

"Dany did this? What a fucking weirdo" 😂

I just think it would be a shame for all the history between the families to be brushed aside rather than culminating in an interesting way? As in, Aerys murdered Jon's grandad, his uncle, and Rhaegar ran off with Jon's mother only for her to die. In addition to any anger about being lied to about his birth, grief over his mother, the loss is of learning he is not Ned’s son, Jon should feel the full weight of Ned claiming him as his own to protect him -- despite what the Targs did to his family. Shouldn’t Jon then have some feelings about a Targ invading Westeros? Even if his dad was a Targ? It makes it interesting because on the one hand, there’s a unique connection there to allow layers in a confrontation (they’re family!), but on the other, few have greater reason to be opposed.

For Jon "Let them say that Eddard Stark had fathered four sons, not three" to have no opinion on a Targ brutally conquering Westeros after Ned tried to get rid of them, well, it would feel like a waste of all that backstory? Also, shouldn’t he have thoughts about Dany specifically after she kills Aegon, after the Dothraki do what she's gonna be incapable of preventing, after the destruction of a city with unimaginable civilian deaths? So not only pre canon puts him on guard, but then what transpires in canon will horrify him?

Even if we take it out of the Targ v Stark context, very early on we learn Ned had to chase Jorah down for being a slaver and Mormont told Jon what a disgrace Jorah was, so Jon got the "Jorah Mormont is a loser" message coming from two father figures. Doesn’t that seem like a deliberate choice by the author? To prime Jon to despise a man he’s written as obsessed with Dany? And of course, there's Tyrion, a Lannister who wanted to hold the North by marrying Jon's little sister who will be with Dany too, so there’s just all sorts of angles to approach a Jon and Dany meeting, none of which bode well.

So much fun stuff to dig into! To ignore it seems like a far less exciting take. But yeah, judging by the reaction to show Jon, I don’t think the fandom will take kindly to his inevitable reaction to Dany.

✅ Not one but two Haunted Houses™️, with one caretaker murdering the other on the daily

✅ A stately, poised librarian who dresses and acts like its still the Victorian period

✅ Gargoyles and dragons galore

Is it ever explained why Merv is a pumpkinhead or is he just there to fully establish the fact that this is indeed the realm created by a hardcore goth?

I want a 200 issue comic and three seasons of a TV show 🤩🥰

the people yearn for turn of the century sonic gijinkas

here are my many inspirations

Not me, already drafting contract terms in my head for what I get in exchange for my firstborn...

There are two small play areas in my apartment complex: one sad two-seat swingset within ten feet of a boggy pond, and one anemic cookie-cutter play place twenty feet from a creek 4-feet wide. There are no fences.

If apartment management is trying to surreptitiously trade neighbor children to water monsters, I wish they'd cut us into the bargain and lower the rent.

Sentiment thirded

2022 intensifies

For my male audience

Friendly reminder that direwolves were very very real in case anyone thinks Neil or George made them up:

Sorry if this has been asked before, but was Lucifer's "I am a dire wolf?" a reference to GOT because of Gwendoline Christie?

Not unless the Dire Wolves in GOT were George’s reference to Sandman. That’s from the original (1989) comic.

This so wholesome.~

There needs to be... More wholesome Schneebling headcanons!!

Every Schnee child has their own favorite drink. weiss LOVES hot cocoa with marshmallows,

winter drinks 5 cups of black coffee a day (she says it's black coffee but she secret adds 10 packs of sugar when nobodys looking),

whitley is convinced that tea solves all issues (depressed?? Drink tea. Heartbroken?? Drink tea. Your family is falling apart?? Drink tea).

winter used to dote so hard on whitley when he was still a small child. If Toddler Whitley is not within her line of sight for 5 seconds then he must have fallen of a ledge or smthn. Cue 12 year old winter freaking out because ohmygodwhitleyisgonewhereishe and willow just silently smiling

If Toddler Whitley wanted you to carry him, you had to. Even Jacques. He didn't take no for an answer.

Everyday willow would take the schneeblings out to her garden to eat lunch. Picnic blanket and everything.

Willow would pick flowers out of her garden and teach them how to make flower crowns. Winter saw it as a waste of time but she took part in it because she saw how much Weiss and Whitley loved it.

All the schneeblings spent at most the first 5 years of their life not able to fall asleep without hugging one of willow's summons like a teddy bear.

While weiss did ballet, winter did gymnastics before running away to atlas academy (at some point she was the 4th consecutive atlas wide gymnastics champion baybe!!), and whitley did (and still does) figure skating. They're all just very very talented.

None of them have ever really been a relationship, but all three of them secretly hope that one day they'll fall in love with someone

They've all had crushes in the past, but winter is the most mature about it because pRoFeSsIonAlisM while weiss just tends to be very tsundere but caring. Whitley is just a blushing disaster.

whitley snorts when he laughs, which is a major insecurity of his, so winter and weiss make it a point to never bring attention to it (even in the present time). Willow always tells him that it's cute, but he never believed her. Jacques says that he sounds like a pig. Sorry I had to do it.

None of them have a knack for art. The best any of them can do are stick figures.

Willow had a different way of showing affect for each of her children when they were still young. She would give winter an exaggerated smooch on the cheek to embarrass her, weiss a small soft peck on the forehead, and whitley multiple tiny kisses on his nose.

Winter actually insisted on teaching whitley some self defense and he hesitantly let her teach him a few things. And no, this wasn't just an excuse for winter to flip him over her shoulder a few times

Weiss got involved too but Whitely quit when they started to complete in how long either of them could hold up Whitley the longest bridal style

Given how isolated they were, they only has each other for the longest time... meaning that all of them have some very very embarrassing stories about each other.

Please please feel free to add more!!!!! We all need some Schneebling wholesomeness before it goes down for real ಥ‿ಥ

Todd Ingram -vs- The League or Ex-traordianry Gentlemen.

I love how Wallace ended up being Todd’s gay awakening and then they DIDN’T end up together in the end

Instead Wallace led him on by failing to communicate that their fling was temporary and now Todd has an unhealthy obsession with Wallace and it’s so so so funny (and so tragic)

Next thing you know Wallace’s new boyfriend is gonna have to fight Todd’s new league of Wallace’s evil exes
