11 DAYSI love how the ASOIAF books are feminist, yet there are a lot of sexist characters. GRRM slowly reveals how powerful the women are in the series.

He had arrived, unannounced, to Pyke not even a fortnight ago, his answers to iron blades at his throat being long, cold stares and demands to meet their newly appointed queen, unafraid and unyielding. Queen Asha met him after a few days of ignoring him, trying to keep things on her terms, and Theon saw the man with the red hair first on a cold morning, noticing the weariness in his eyes and the hard-set line of his mouth.
All of that has been discussed ably and amply elsewhere, I’m instead going to focus on a major aspect of westeros.org culture that I find particularly offensive: The shaming of the “fangirl.” I think I’ll cut this for length, I have a lot of feelings, clearly.

No, I really don’t need one of these accounts as well. But, you see, among the many no doubt lovely people that use tumblr, there are also a few groups of…shall we say, shit-flinging monkeys? Since they rarely crawl out of here, I can’t exactly laugh at them elsewhere. And given how laughable…
Since joining the role-play community (unofficially) for ASoIaF/Game of Thrones on Twitter, I brought with me a sensibility about RP from another community I’d been a part of prior. Which is something that #fakewesteros doesn’t really hold up to or nurture. I want to make a higher caliber style…
Dear AskGOT bloggers:
AskJaime and I have gotten some questions about the activity of the AskBlogs - the gist of the questions being “What can we do to make the AskBlogs active again?”
If people are still interested, yes, we can definitely try to get things re-started.
SO: if you’re an…
Loras Tyrell joking around with Asha/Yara Greyjoy. This is why Twitter exists.
Fuck yeah, shark week!
Theon wouldn’t be kraken; he’d be a sharktopus.OMG, THE SHARK IS KILLING ME. LOOOOL.

So it’s like 500+ years after Dany came back to Westeros with the dragons and got herself killed in the War for the Dawn. The other two dragonriders wound up being Bran and Melisandre! They died as well, along with all the dragons, and now Mel in particular is seen as a messiah figure. R’hllor’s power has grown greatly, and his fanatic worshippers are becoming a problem to those in power.
There was a revolution at some unknown point after that, and now Westeros is at least nominally democratic; the families that were rich before still have most of the clout. I was in the head of the governor of the state of East Dorne, Myrelia Sand. Bastards still get bastard names, but the stigma is largely gone. Dornish attitudes about female equality have come to prevail everywhere except the North.
Myrelia was named for two of her famous ancestresses, so apparently Aegon VI was for real and had descendants, as did Myrcella. Travel to the Free Cities is easier than it was in Dany’s time, and there is talk of some sort of joint government, taking each city with its surrounding hinterlands as a new state. Myrelia pushed for the idea, but not everyone is in favor - particularly not the governor of Casterly.
Who knows what might happen there? In the Game of States, you win or you get impeached….
“If I must die, I will die with an axe in my hand and a curse upon my lips.”
The Wayward Bride, ADwD p. 344
What was Asha’s name changed to for the show again? I want to say… Yara. Anyways, spoilery character ramble under the cut.
I’m just waiting when will she get her hands on an axe and chop off the asshole knight’s manhood who always wants her burned.
(And feed it to the goats, of course.)
She could do that with Ramsay too for a start.
