Regions of Westeros: the Riverlands

Stretching from the Neck to the banks of the Blackwater, and east to the borders of the Vale, the riverlands are the beating heart of Westeros. No other land in the Seven Kingdoms has seen so many battles, nor so many petty kings and royal houses rising and falling. The causes of this are clear. Rich and fertile, the riverlands border on every other realm in the Seven Kingdoms save Dorne, yet have few natural boundaries to deter invasion. The waters of the Trident make the lands ripe for settlement, farming, and conquest, whilst the river's three branches stimulate trade and travel during peacetime, and serve as both roads and barriers in times of war.

The truth was, the princess was braver than her brother, and brighter and more confident as well. Her wits were quicker, her courtesies more polished. Nothing ever daunted her, not even Joffrey.

What is honor compared to a woman’s love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms… or the memory of a brother’s smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.

Jon Snow - and family that haunts him, because sometimes ghosts make for the best love stories.

Also unrelated but when someone correctly points out a lot of fantasy books are named shit like "an x of y and z" and then use asoiaf as an example I get pissy -_- You don't get it none of you do........

I'm a targ stan but I didn't grow up on Twitter so my stanry doesn't show through discourse but you can tell because my ocs are all very targlike and every once in a while I'll explain some lore from my favorite oc to someone and they'll go "didn't that happen to Daenerys Targaryen in hit book saga a song of ice and fire" and I'll shyly look away while blushing like a young maiden caught in a lie. Yes it did sorry

Arya had her father's eyes, the grey eyes of the Starks. A girl her age might let her hair grow long, add inches to her height, see her chest fill out, but she could not change the color of her eyes. That's Sansa's little friend, the steward's girl. Jeyne, that was her name. Jeyne Poole.

Inspired by a post by @jonsatin, a little collab between @eddtollett and I - she wrote the lyrics and I illustrated!

“Little kids walking through the riverlands, singing a song about a little northern king who left his castle, got betrayed, turned into a wolf and how vengeance herself came to walk the lands in reprisal.”

People say whatever these days

Updated designs for the Maidenvault sisters Daena, Rhaena, and Elaena. Also long overdue drawing of Elaena with her short hair

For my freckles, Your Grace, though they all pretend it is because I am the heir to Spottswood.

Hi! Not to bother you but I was wondering what brushes you use? I really love the look of your art :D

awww thank you :D i use the default brushes that come with Rebelle 7 tbh, if you're asking about the rhaenyra/alicent piece i mostly used the pastels and pencils. if you're looking for a traditional medium look i highly recommend trying rebelle out. they have a free trial on their site and if im not mistaken it goes on offer pretty often
