asoiaf & got characters // pt. XXXI - Aegon, Visenya, Rhaenys (ver. I, ver. II)

“A cloud of ravens burst from the towers of Dragonstone to bring Lord Aegon’s word to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. To the seven kings they flew, to the Citadel of Oldtown, to lords both great and small. All carried the same message: from this day forth there would be but one king in Westeros. Those who bent the knee to Aegon of House Targaryen would keep their lands and titles. Those who took up arms against him would be thrown down, humbled, and destroyed. […] Balerion, Meraxes, and Vhagar, ridden by Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya. The three-headed dragon of House Targaryen—three dragons, and three riders.” 

(the second graphic was inspired by my favorite artwork of King Aegon with his sister-queens by Amok)

docincredible asked:

Is there a word in Dothraki for a princess? If there isn't, would you base it on a diminutive of khaleesi or a female diminutive of khal? Or would that work out to be the same thing with how you set up the grammar of the language?

The simplest answer is no. Another answer is khalakki. Fuller answer below.

Here’s the thing with this (and when I’ve been asked similar questions about other languages). There’s no word in Dothraki that MEANS “princess”, if you follow. The Dothraki don’t have kings and queens. If you don’t have kings and queens, you don’t have princes and princesses. The Dothraki also haven’t gotten to a point where they’re regularly discussing the political systems of other cultures in detail, so they haven’t borrowed or invented terms for specific political relationships that aren’t a part of their own political system. For example, consider the term “the hand of the king”. That’s a very specific role in the government of Westeros. You could translate that literally into Dothraki, but it would be meaningless (or rather it would translate as “the khal’s hand”, and it wouldn’t be obvious from the construction that it refers to some political appointment). You could also explain very easily in Dothraki the function of the hand of the king and everyone would understand. You could also say ko. But it would be a big mistake to translate ko as “hand of the king”. That would make no sense. Not only are the two things not identical, but the hand of the king isn’t something that’s regularly discussed in Dothraki. No one you spoke with would have any preexisting knowledge about the role.

So back to “princess”, there are terms for the son and daughter of a khal, because there was one for “son” in the books: khalakka. It’s translated as “a prince rides in side me” (khalakka dothrae mr’anha), but I don’t think you can it means “prince”. It’s not compatible with our understanding of what a prince is—it’s just close. So just as a khal is not a king, a khalakki is not a princess. It’s just close.

War was an ironman’s proper trade. The Drowned God had made them to reave and rape, to carve out kingdoms and write their names in fire and blood and song.

All-Women "Game of Thrones" Fan Podcasts

Because gender and misogyny are huge themes in A Song of Ice and Fire, I was inspired by the most recent ask to start a tumblr post featuring Game of Thrones fan podcasts that are hosted by women!   Hoping we can update this through reblogs to create a master list.

  • Cast of Castamere:  Hosted by Sierra, Zoe, Caitlin and Merry.  Episode by episode breakdowns for each episode of Season 3!
  • The Daily Raven: A video podcast from WinterisComing.net created, hosted, and co-written by Simone Boyce.  Episode recaps and exclusive interviews with the stars of Game of Thrones.
  • Fat Pink Cast: Shameless plug!  Hosted by Jonelle, Marissa, and Sade, we are an all WoC podcast and we sail the torrid seas of ASOIAF fandom using an incisive critical feminist theory lens!
  • Sistah Speak-Game of Thrones:  Sistah J and Sistah K offer witty breakdowns of each episode of the show.  Two WoC created The Sistah Speak network of podcasts (they do True Blood and The Walking Dead, too!) to help diversify podcasts.  (I am pretty sure they were the first all-WoC podcast!)
  • Wine, Women, and Westeros:  A tipsy, lady-centric offshoot of Cast of Thrones hosted by Jennifer Cheek and special guests Betsy Cohen and Annie Bickerton.  (Multiple episodes, check the feed.)
  • PieCast:   Brought to you by the ladies of Fire and Lunch! Featuring Rachel, Jenny, Megan, Lauren, Katie, and Jess. Includes a Pies of the Crossing theme song. This podcast launched at the beginning of season four
  • Close the Door and Come Here: A new podcast that covers the episodes of Season 4 from a JaimexBrienne shipping perspective.

Let me know if I’m missing any!
