Old rambles from Tumblr
Game of thrones Food for thoughts-style tatticstudio55 I’ll probably be posting a bunch of these : “Love is the death of duty. What is duty compared to…” goes on about a woman’s love and a newborn child. These words might apply more to Daenerys than Jon. First season Dany had a husband and a child... Continue Reading →
Some ASOIAF/LotR parallels
Jon/Dany & Sam/Frodo A while ago, when all I knew about GOT was that it was popular and asked one of my literature professor what it was about, he told me “oh, it’s like trashy Tolkien”. Little did I know at the time of the actual parallels between GOT/ASOIAF and LotR. Turns out there’s a lot, and Martin’s a... Continue Reading →
Clocks and dragons
I’ve been itching to write down something related to GOT/ASOIAF and Gilbert Durand’s theories about the representations of time within the human mind. The book I’m referring to is called (if my translation is correct) “anthropological structures of the imaginary”. It revolves around a basic hypothesis according to which human’s greatest fear and enemy is... Continue Reading →
RE: Meereenese Blot (2)
The meereenese blot and darkDany: an answer Having just finished Dany’s last ADWD chapter, I remembered something I had previously read from the meereenese blot essay: With that in mind, a closer look reveals that Dany’s plotline in Meereen has been very cleverly designed as a series of tests of her values, and one value...

RE: Meereenese Blot
More objections on the darkDany theory (This time with book examples) Having just finished the Dany chapters and the 3 first Jon chapters in ADWD, I’d like to discuss two points regularly brought up by anti-Dany to justify their “Dany is going dark” argument. First, Dany’s reaction to the meereenese burning below as she fled Daznak’s... Continue Reading →
ASOIAF and H.C. Andersen (3)
Starklings and the Snow Queen pt 3 About Gerda’s red shoes (and other tidbits) Leaving to find her lost friend Kay, Gerda throws her most prized possession, a pair of red shoes, into the river, hoping that, in exchange, the river will either bring her to Kay, or bring Kay back to her. Thus, Gerda goes barefoot... Continue Reading →
ASOIAF and H.C. Andersen (2)
Starklings and the Snow Queen pt 2 Or “who’s in my bed?” In the fourth story, Gerda encounters a crow, a prince, and a princess. Convinced that the prince is Kay, Gerda enters the palace, and his darkened bedroom, to hold up a lamp and look at his face. And here, the fairy tale is... Continue Reading →
ASOIAF and H.C. Andersen
Starklings and the Snow Queen I read Andersen’s Snow Queen a while ago, but to be honest, it wasn’t my favorite piece from him, and I kinda forgot about it until my roommate’s little girl got obsessed with Frozen and I remembered… Wait, wasn’t this about a little boy who took an ice fragment in the heart and turned...

Potential show ploy
The North and the Targaryen conspiracy On the presumption that Dany, upon learning of Jon’s true parentage, will suspect that there’s a conspiracy set against her, will grow suspicious of everyone, including Jon, and that it will be a factor contributing to her descent into madness/darkness. (Guess where that theory comes from) Where would that... Continue Reading →
