GOT 7×05

Jon and Drogon (A little cinematic analysis) The 7x05 scene, on the cliff, with Jon and Drogon, was filmed through Jon’s POV and was, in my opinion, brilliantly executed. We really get Jon’s visual AND psychological perspectives of Drogon. Shifting perspectives, in fact: 1) First impression: the size The scene is laid out in a way that really... Continue Reading →

Biblical subtext & the Doom of Valyria

Sodom and Gomorrah We can draw many parallels between the doom of Valyria and the destruction of Sodom. Moreover, we might also take bits and pieces of the myth to predict how asoiaf/got might end. “In the Genesis account, God reveals to Abraham that Sodom and Gomorrah are to be destroyed for their grave sins...

On Jon’s gurls

Ygritte, Daenerys, Melisandre Some thoughts on Jon’s last ASOS chapters  “The king would speak with you, Jon Snow.” Jon thrust the practice sword into the earth. “Might I be allowed to change? I am in no fit state to stand before a king.” “We shall await you atop the Wall,” said Melisandre. We, Jon heard,... Continue Reading →

More bookJonerys foreshadowing

Jon, Daenerys and ghost villages in ACOK Jon and Dany’s first chapters in ACOK centers around them searching through a haunted forest and a desert, respectively: Jon, along with other brothers of the Night’s Watch and lord commander Mormont, seeking information about the “raised dead”; Dany looking for food, water and shelter for her people...

On Jon Snow’s priorities

There’s only one war that matters… the Great War And here we go again. Jon thinks the Dany/Cersei war don’t matter. Dany is entitled, selfish and short-sighted for saying “and I can’t pretend that Cersei won’t take back half the country the moment I march North”. Jon is fed up with her. PoliticalJon etc etc… Of...

Onto some Jonerys foreshadowing (books)

Silvery slips of Jonerys… In Jon’s ACOK’s POV chapters: Can you guess how many times the moonlight is mentioned in Jon’s last ACOK chapters? It’s rather poetic, really… -The sky was cloudless, the jagged mountains rising black on black until the very top, where their cold crowns of snow and ice shone palely in the moonlight....

Sansa, Cersei, Snow White…

Is Sansa the YMBQ? It’ll take some zigzags to get there, but basically, what got me on this was Sansa’s parallels with Snow White:  1) The jealous evil step mother Doesn’t the whole “Maggie the Frog prophecy” - until a younger, more beautiful queen comes to cast you down at take all you hold dear - reminds you...

On the matter of tyranny in ASOIAF/GOT

Let’s discuss tyranny (or: is Dany a tyrant?) Ok, so first perhaps we should look up what the exact definition for a “tyrant” is. According to my merriam-webster online dictionary, a tyrant is defined as:  An absolute ruler unrestrained by law or constitution; A usurper of sovereignty; A ruler who exercises absolute power oppressively or brutally; One...

More convos imported from Tumblr…

nothinghappensinalstonville Bringer of Chains Could someone just once, in universe, point out by demanding the subjugation of the independant North, that Daenerys is negating her title of “Breaker of Chains”. The North was free and independent. Think on that. soleilpirate I am asking this legitimately. Please show me book or show support for the North... Continue Reading →

Some interesting convos from Tumblr

just-a-crazy-lass I know I should studying for Midterm exams but here I am.  I was reading Daenerys’ prophecies in the House of Undying and there are still lines that stood out; uses of certain words that changes its meaning, setting it apart from preceding statements. I don’t know to interpret them, but well.  …three heads... Continue Reading →
