in the asoiaf animated adaptation that exists in perfection in my brain, barristan selmy's a knight out of a golden-age disney movie; at least, thats what we're meant to think at first. his character design's reflects his role, all heroic and ideal. his animation is more fluid than all the other people in the scene, animated on 1s and 2s. arthur dayne is animated on a lower framerate, and is overall choppier and more jagged: he exists only in song and memory, so he can only exist in the less-than-real sense. renly wears elaborate embroidery so he's always drawn in unmoving plaid (like that one animation style from chowder). darkstar is drawn like a shonen anime protagonist. magic users--melisandre, euron, bloodraven, glamored mance, the Others--sit strangely on the screen, as if a glitch in the matrix, their very presence shimmering and uncomfortable to view (the dreams all have this quality too). all the starks have tapetum lucida, eyes that shine in the dark. the wights are all stop motion animated.
modern westeros discourse. instead of sapphic they say 'friend of rhaena' in reference to famous historical lesbian rhaena targaryen (and her many 'friends') but its problematic because Was rhaena an evil imperialist for being a targ princess? Was it ethical for her to turn her husband into dragon kibble? and if you call yourself rhaenic should you delete your blog and kill yourself? sansa is deep in the discourse (she's pro-rhaenic)

listening to f&b on 1.7 speed but it’s literally so boring. give me baela targaryen’s diary i want to know what’s up with her
Rhaenyra telling Jace a joe biden story while he’s holding in the my name is paul mua’dib atreides speech so hard he’s actively having an aneurysm meanwhile her huncle is doing ayahuasca with a goth girl he met at hot topic two hours ago and the woman holding 60% of their cool points on her back has just exploded into meat chunks over southern ohio. black council in shambles this week I fear. the green council’s default state is shambles so that’s not news
I’ve been such a hipster about this but I’ve finally gotten around to listening to the audiobook version of ASOIAF & as of the 2nd book it’s pretty awesome? Try & guess who these ppl. are supposed to be & I’ll draw you a nice rock or something
