John Corcoran (@mrjohncorcoran) As promised, a non-exhaustive list of Shadowheart hooks/hints/prompts in two parts in the thread. From throughout the game, so spoilers naturally
General audience:
Nibbles the mouse
Shadowheart defending Nocturne while they were initiates. Hint that Viconia is proud of her, though never admits it
Nocturne doing Shadowheart's hair
Buddog, a childhood rival/bully of Shadowheart, who was also part of the mission to steal the Astral Prism
Training and indoctrination against Githyanki
The actual heist to take the Astral Prism from Vlaakith's vaults. Shadowheart being the sole survivor of a five-member team
Hints at an earlier infiltration mission at a ball in Baldur's Gate
Viconia giving Shadowheart elocution lessons to help her blend into high society
Shadowheart's enjoyment of disguises and roleplay as part of her Sharran training
Shadowheart and Nocturne's hideaway full of night orchids
'Four dogs, eight cats, nine chickens, six pigeons, four sheep, a milk cow named Daphne, a squirrel who's far too clever for her own good, and a wolf cub I found orphaned in some woods'
The owlbear joining Shadowheart's menagerie
Shadowheart's failed attempts to preserve some of her memories
Allister Marnley (Shadowheart's deceased tutor)
The graffiti
Remembering childhood games from the blighted village
Flashes of memories upon being punished by Shar's curse (while playing as Shadowheart only - not companion).
Learning about Dark Justiciars as a young initiate, and dreaming of becoming one
Nocturne helping Shadowheart remember herself whenever she had her memories taken away
'I'd like to see the islands maybe, or head south to Amn. I heard there's an enclave of werecats that hunt the followers of dark gods by moonlight. I'd love to see if there's any truth to that'
Shadowheart's Special Scrumpy
Dragon-riding with Lae'zel
Bonding with her mother, and remembering the taste of her cooking from childhood
Learning jokes from her father
Visiting the House of the Moon, and evading Sharran assassins
Somewhat spicy audience:
What unfolded under the cover of darkness in Sharess' Caress.
Shared love of smutty literature with Wyll
Hint of discreet romances and encounters amongst Sharran trainees at the Cloister
Ever notice how the Sharrans all seem to sleep together in a big dorm?
Untying knots with her tongue
'Try not to dream of tying me up'
Mistaking Durge's nighttime bloodlust for something more amorous, and being perfectly willing to go along with it stealthily while the rest of the camp sleeps
'She looks like she could throw me over her shoulder and carry me to safety... should the need arise'
And it's lesser-seen epilogue follow-up: 'between you and me, I've pretended to have a sprained ankle now and again, for a ride on those muscles'
'Don't wear them out entirely, priest. I might have use for them yet'
Further building of sand castles
Climbing Mount Halsin
*Gestures broadly at Shadowheart and Lae'zel's love-hate tension*
A standing invitation for a private audience with Mother Superior Shadowheart, should you ever be in the vicinity of the Cloister
'Kiss me like you hate me'
Tav: 'If in doubt, I can always lie. We've been slaying dragons and making love atop piles of gold'. Shadowheart: 'That sounds fun - why haven't we been doing that? Perhaps I'll shoo the cats out of our room and scatter copper pieces over the bed some evening, and we can play make-believe'
Bite-kissing
A dash of sacrilegious bloodplay

Hi everyone! Long time no see!!! I haven't come here in Eons, but what better motivation that earlier release of S5!!!
So! My thought on 5 without spoiler and out of context?
We don't see a lot of Aaravos but almost everything he says has a double entendre. He knows it, you know it. The writers know it. EVERYONE KNOWS IT!
Terry is a dork. 
Callum is a dork. 
Everyone is a dork!
Amaya and Janai: I'll jump into danger without hesitation and make difficult decision for my people. What? Picking flower? Impossible, I can't!
Also that scene with Zubeia who goes full Batman-dramatic-entrance - It was amazing, it was cliche (because hey! No risk to squash the little humans?) and no, I won't give context!
Bloodmoon Huntress. Seriously!
PIRATE KING!!!!
trust issues
control issues
daddy issues
lot, lot of issues! Especially for Viren 
Worst of ALL THINGS: that 5 seconds of Ethari content in the credits. Yes, you heard me! This is so cruel :’( 
But also, my thought/comments on S5 WITH spoiler (just after seeing the whole thing)? 
my old theory about the first time using dark magic, the person might have a choice to do through that weird dream?? Check, apparently (Claudia: "it only happens when you use dark magic for the first time!") 
BABY SOREN AND BABY CLAUDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 4th coin was: Viren’s master! hehehehe! ... eh? I didn’t see that one coming! (and apparently Rayla... let it rot on the dungeon floor?... maybe not?
Also: Viren + twin Peaks. That's all, I won't comment more on this. 
The Jailer! Please. I want to know more. She was human? what kind of magic did she use? who is she? Where does she come from? I WANNA KNOW!!! EXPLAIN!!! 
theory? Yeah, she’s related to the crow lord!
Ocean arch dragon? 3 minutes on screen, but yes, I already love you!
Karim is stupid
Queen Aditi!
Sol Regem: I want context. "I lost my hope long before I lost my sight"? CONTEXT PLEASE! Also I repeat: KARIM IS STUPID!!!! AND WHAT WITH THAT PRIEST!!!
You know Callum, you could have just taken the book with you from the start. or just come back the next day... >_>’
Also, speaking of corruption: the mushroom mage. Great, but... could he have helped with Lux Aurea? Or something?... no? Just me? 
who cares, I already love him =D
Who's that dude in front of Aaravos's statue? You know, the other statue LOTR like? Is he also a startouch? Seems like it. Who is he? 
Next season objectif? Saving the coins with magic cristals because imediate crisis averted (pfff you bet!). And hey! What a coincidence, magic sword to kill a startouch in the same package! 
That weird old skywing with bandaged eyes in the credits. Pretty sure he’s in that tower with the sword
Bait + Baitlings: yes!
PIRATE KING!!!! (a crafty jerk, but we like him anyway - I do hope he’s not dead). Also, Villads and Nyx. 
Callum: gets punched in the face a few times, read a poem, get a weird advice from an old hermit-crab-lady and bingo! Ocean arcanum reached + bonus speech about control issues! (or did I miss a few things?)
Everyone has been shocked to hear Aaravos saying "our child" to Viren (the viraavos shipers will implode, with that one) - anyone notices it means Claudia and Soren have a half-sibling, now? 
will Viren survive? Will he reach an arcanum? ohohohoh! I wanna see! (Stupid theory: Aaravos is schocked his pawn isn’t moving according to plan, but will test his resolve before actually saving him... of doing it through Claudia)
last thing: squid Claudia. yes! you heard me!
Pfioooo! What a ride! That’s all for now. I’m gonna digest all of this.

daenerys targaryen quote rp meme
Tumblr media
inspired by @westerosiqueens
I will answer injustice with justice
Angry snakes lash out. Makes chopping off their heads that much easier
Our fathers were evil men. They left the world worse than they found it. We are not going to do that. We are going to leave it better than we found it
Is it so far from madness to wisdom?
Perhaps I cannot make my people good. But I should at least try to make them a little less bad.
Why do the gods make kings and queens, if not to protect the ones who can't protect themselves?
Any other man and I would have you executed— but you. I do not want you in my city, dead or alive.
If I give everyone what they deserve, I’ll have no one left to rule.
I have fewer enemies than I did yesterday.
I am no ordinary woman. My dreams come true.
Is it so far from madness to wisdom?
If I look back, I am lost
It seems to me that a queen who trusts no one is as foolish as a queen who trusts everyone.
My reign has just begun
I value your advice, but if you ever question me in front of strangers again, you’ll be advising someone else. Is that understood?
I am not your little princess
It seems to me that a queen who trusts no one is as foolish as a queen who trusts everyone
Fire can not kill a dragon
What kind of queen am I if I am not willing to risk my life to fight them?
I am not going to stop the wheel. I am going to break the wheel
The next time you raise a hand to me will be the last time you have hands
I am no ordinary woman. My dreams come true
And I swear this. If you ever betray me, I’ll burn you alive
Woman? Is that meant to insult me? I would return the slap if I took you for a man
He  sold my mother's crown, and men called him a beggar. I shall keep this one, so men will call me a queen
My reign has just begun
Do you think I have forgotten how it felt to be afraid?
They can live in my new world or they can die in their old one
Yes, all men must die. But we are not men
I will not let those I have freed slide back to chains.
I will do what queens do. I will rule
You are small men. None of you are fit to lead them. But I am, so I will
I will take what is mine with fire and blood
Let the priests argue over good and evil. Slavery is real. I can end it. I will end it. And I will end those behind it.
We both want to help people. We can only help them from a position of strength. Sometimes strength is terrible
I will not lie with you. And I will bear no children, for you, or anyone else
A man who fights for gold can’t afford to lose to a girl
I am the dragon’s daughter, and I swear to you that those who would harm you will die screaming.
The blood of the dragon does not weep
A queen must listen to all. The highborn and the low, the strong and the weak, the noble and the venal. One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found.
Mother of dragons. Mother of monsters. What have I unleashed upon the world? I am the blood of the dragon. If they are monsters, so am I.
Don’t ever presume to touch me again or speak my name
The next time you raise a hand to me will be the last time you have hands.
When the sun rises in the west, and sets in the east, then you shall return to me, my sun and stars
When my dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and destroy those who have wronged me. We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground. Turn us away and we will burn you first.
Dracarys.
I am the dragon’s daughter, and I swear to you that those who would harm you will die screaming.
One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found.
I want to make my kingdom beautiful, to fill it with fat men and pretty maids and laughing children. I want my people to smile when they see me ride by, the way he said they smiled for my father.

~How Minh Reclaimed the Sword of Fire from the Castle of Burning Steel~
Many years in the future, in the sundered realm of Massachusetts, the people of a small steading near the eastern coast had come into danger. To their aid came Lady Minh the Dauntless of the Order of the Minute, riding hard upon her fiery yellow steed.
Tumblr media
"Every girl's dream! Every girl's dream! Oh, &$@% off," spat Minh, kicking the refurbished Giddyup Buttercup in the shin. "Stupid tiny metal and plastic horse, everything aches down there."
In spite of the... disagreement with her noble steed, Sir Minh came anon to Finch Farm, where the local headman, Abraham of Finch, beseeched her for aid.
Tumblr media
"Ours was a happy, peaceful hamlet once. We had little compared to the city people in the south, but we had enough." Abraham wiped a tear from his eye. "But alas, black smoke now rises from yonder Saugus Ironworks. Cruel men have established themselves in there, dwarves and orcs calling themselves the Forged..."
"Dude," said Minh, "what the %£&@ are you talking about? What's an orc, and do you not know women can be raiders?!"
"But alas!" Abraham cut in. "My fearless, foolhardy son Jake, he always seemed to tire of our peaceful ways. He went to them, good knight! He took our clan's ancestral sword, the Infernal Blade of Shish'kebab, and I fear he plans to face those brutes himself... Or what if-?!" Abraham's voice dropped to a terrified whisper. "By the Sun Goddess, if he means to join them?!"
"Well, that wouldn't be great." With a sigh, Minh checked her map. "Saugus Ironworks... I guess can pay them a visit."
Tumblr media
With courage in her heart and the light of Lady Evetora shining down upon her, Minh rode to-
"No I DIDN'T, dumbass! I walked! Well, ran. I'm a video game character, we run everywhere."
Oh, Minh, can you at least try to work with me? *sigh* With courage in her heart and the light of Lady Evetora shining down upon her, Minh trekked at a gentle jog to the ancient Ironworks. Lord Saugus, father of the dwarves, had once blessed the castle with his shining hammer, but Minh felt a trickle of fear when its smoking spires rose above her.
An imposing figure in broad, spiked metal armour met her at the gate. "Halt, stranger!" he bellowed in the guttural tones of a Bostonian orc, banging his halberd against the flagstones. "None may enter the seat of the Forged who have not yet been tempered."
"Oh, I'm not here to enter anyone's seat, I'm here for the Dungeons and Dragons game at six. Minh Vu? You might know me as Debbie, um, Xiao Long... The half-elven paladin?" Minh said sweetly.
"Those who steal cool-sounding surnames from cartoons are not worthy!" bellowed the guard. "Your weak flesh will become food for the Forge. Prepare to die!"
Tumblr media
The guard surged forwards, but with a swipe and a flick of her nailed baseball bat, Minh had him drawing his last breath upon the ground. Her troubles were only beginning, though, for the warriors of the Forged were charging out to the gate. Tall, well-built orcs and short, well-built dwarves, shouting battle cries and raising a din with their twisted metal armour.
Minh stood her ground. With her longbow, enchanted by the elves of Sanctuary Hills, she opened fire on the enemy ranks, wounding many. Yet the Forged were no mere rabble, and they pressed upon her with bombs and gouts of flame, conjured by some foul, arcane engineering.
Poor Minh so nearly was roasted in her jumpsuit, but she was not to be defeated by overwhelming power alone. Fleeing into the shadows, Minh called upon the mystic aim-taking magic of the Vault Priests, and one by one she picked off her pursuers with burning red arrows. Exhausted, she fell upon the cold, muddy grass and into fitful dreams.
When she awoke from her impromptu nap, Minh found herself in unfamiliar surroundings. It was hot, although the jagged stone bricks and the faint morning sun through the stained glass windows suggested it should not be.
"Ah, the good lady of Sanctuary Hills awakens."
Minh sat up with a gasp, reaching for her bat. "Who are you?!"
Tumblr media
"Fear not, Sir Minh. I am a servant, but I can assure you that I am no ally to Lord Slag and his Forged."
Minh's eyes were wide with amazement. Before her stood a heavy-set metal creature, an orange crystal glowing upon their head. "A Protectron? Juuuuust great. Where the Hell am I, exactly?"
"You are in the Saugus Ironworks," the good-natured atronach replied. "I carried you here, to a room where few warriors tread, that my masters would not discover you outside when dawn broke."
"The %&£$'s an atronach? I mean, thanks for..." Minh cleared her throat. "Did you dip my hat in white paint?"
"Your helmet is being washed, good sir knight. But we have more pressing matters," said the atronach. "Lord Slag is about to execute young Jake of Clan Finch, on the flimsy reasoning that the Infernal Blade of Shish'kebab was too easy a tribute to give."
"Tribute... Ugh, so he DID want to join up!" Minh groaned. "Why do people have to become Raiders? I mean, I guess it's fun, what kind of LIFE are they gonna have?!" She paused. "A short one. Thanks in part to me. I'd better go and talk him out of it."
Thanking the noble atronach for his aid, Sir Minh alighted from the bowels of the fortress. With cat-like tread, she snuck through the keep, feeling all the while as though the air was growing hotter around her...
Tumblr media
Lord Slag had been waiting in the heart of the castle, on a gilded balcony above a lake of molten steel. His armour was like nothing Minh had yet seen, thick pieces of metal tied and riveted together into a tower, a scrapheap of fury and might. And kneeling at his side, trembling in a battered old rain coat, was Jake of House Finch.
"Ahh! At last, the great hero approaches!" Slag crowed in a voice like thunder. Not an orc but a man was he, and a formidable one at that. "Sir Minh of the Minute, what a fine name for a fine warrior. It seems my Forged had not the means to keep you away..."
"Cool," Minh lied. "I'm here for Jake and that sword. Do you wanna do this the hard way, or-"
"I am not an unkind man," Slag lied, "so hear my offer. By slaying my warriors, you have proven yourself a worthier man-"
"Woman!"
"Shut up. You have proven yourself a worthier man than all who fell before you. Worthy, perhaps, to be Forged! I offer you a test, Minh, one final show of loyalty." Grinning savagely, Slag picked Jake up by the collar and threw him to the floor below. "Kill this useless mongrel. Take his head and become my right-hand man!"
Minh smacked her forehead. "Do you even know what 'woman' means?!"
"Of course I- Er...?" Slag squinted down at her. "Oh! M-my apologies, good lady. I, er, that is to say, your hair is so short..."
Minh chucked a grenade at him.
Sound and heat filled the chamber, yet when the smoke from Minh's flame spell faded, Slag still stood. He strode, laughing, towards her, stepping on Jake in the process. Narrowing her eyes, Minh unsheathed her baseball bat and advanced on the dread lord of Saugus Ironworks.
"You had your chance, Minh," Slag laughed. He unsheathed a bright metal sword that caught fire when its blade met the air. "Now you will learn the truth of the Forge, that the strong are tempered by fire and pain, while the fate of the weak is but to melt!"
The Infernal Blade of Shish'kebab...! Minh fought to keep surprise off her chiselled face. "The Order of the Minute taught me this, Slag. The strong are not only the iron bars who become shields and axes! Sometimes the strong are the kind hands who weave cotton into a bed, coax good crops from the earth, and give comfort to the sick. But today, the strong is I, who shall deliver your evil unto its end!"
The thought ocurred to Minh, What the Hell am I saying?! No, seriously, what WAS that?!, but the time for words was past. Burning steel met wood and nails as she gave battle with Slag, beating away his savage strikes and scoring scratches into his armour. But Slag was strong, and rallying well he forced her back towards the wall.
Drinking a vial of Psycho Jet, the elixir she had been given by a witch from the Cambridge Institute of Thaumaturgy, Minh leapt over Slag's head onto the upper balcony. The mahogany shuddered beneath her boots, but it held, and she raised a hand alight with magic.
"Eat bottlecap mine, screwball!" roared Minh, and she threw her, um, arcane rune at Slag's feet. Mystic energy and the tops of around ten Nuka Cola bottles filled the chamber as Slag's armour was reduced to dust.
"Gaaahhhh!" Slag cried out in pain. "Such power...! You should have been mine, Minh. You should have been Forged! But I am lord of Saugus Ironworks, and only I will see the next dawn. Behold the true power of Lord Slag! Behold dragon fire!"
While Slag had been making his grand speech, Minh had been scampering down the walkways until she saw him directly overhead. She pulled from her bag a mystical staff of Lexingtonian make, the powerful Double-Barrelled Shotgun, and took aim at Slag's feet.
Tumblr media
"&%£$ yeah! How d'you like them holes in your feet, asshole?!" Minh rejoiced. She could take no pleasure in vanquishing this great foe, for near him lay young Jake of Clan Finch, coughing his last few breaths with a footprint pressed deep into his chest.
"Jake..." Minh sighed. "Tough break, kid. I can't believe he trod on you!"
"Nor can... I..." groaned Jake, dying.
Tumblr media
It was a solemn moment when Minh bent down over the body of her slain foe, his heart silent, his feet bleeding through their socks. Slowly, carefully, she untied Slag's belt from around his stout waist and took the Infernal Blade of Shish'kebab's asbestos sheath.
She picked up the discarded sword and sheathed it, cradling it in her hands for a moment before she slung it from her own laden belt. As Minh headed out of the castle, her footsteps echoing in halls now cold and silent, she thought only of the poor Finches, down one son, and how Abraham was probably going to want the Infernal Blade back before she'd even got to try it.
Tumblr media
"I-I get to keep the sword?! Thank you, Todd!" squealed Minh, kissing Abraham on the lips.
"I-I'm not Todd! I'm Abraham!" gasped Abraham, furiously wiping his mouth.
"And he's married!" cried Abigail. "To me!"
"Oh, I know! Don't worry, I could never compete with you," Minh lied. "Sorry about your son, guys. I was... too late for him."
"Dear Jake... The pain of his loss will remain with us forever," sighed Abigail. "But know this, Sir Minh. Thanks to you, a dark cloud has lifted over the land today, and perhaps... Perhaps now someone else's son will keep his precious life. You and and your order have our gratitude."
"Will you stay for the night?" asked Abraham. "We have mead and Fancy Lads Snack Cakes, surely not the fare you are accustomed to, but..."
"I do believe I will." Minh smiled. "Thanks, Abraham, Abigail, and the other one. Give me a minute, I need to get my stupid horse watered..."

@xx--ofmanythoughts--xx
The farthest he'd ever traveled had been to Mahraj in the Jade Sea when he was fourteen. For that adventure he'd been grounded for three moons by his lord father. They were never to leave the Shadow, ever. It was what had kept their family and it's legacy safe.
When Valyria of old met its death they had already been three centuries in self exile far into the east back to their true ancestral home. Half of the family had tired of the blood lust and need to conqueror as had been the Valyrian way. Family Balaur had been amongst the strongest and most powerful of the forty ruling families of Old Valyria, their dragons out numbered the other thirty nine lower families thought it was expected given their lineage.
When Valyria fell it had been thought that only the lowest family had escaped the doom and yet deep in the Shadowlands of the far East the dragons of the shadow slept. They had become mere tales, dragons of the east stirring. The fear that the Shadow blanketed over travelers helped in keeping these Shadowdragons hidden and yet when tale of dragons once more filling the nights sky with their music on the Dothraki Sea it drew attention.
He had defied the family when he'd heard the rumor wanting to find these hatchlings. Tales of conquest from Qarth, Astapor, Yunkai to Meereen had him eager to find this fabled Mother of Dragons. It was through her that he saw a future of Valyria once more. The dream of Dragons once more ruling the skies had been his driving force to leave the shadow, but he had been far to late.
Volantis was a long way from the Hidden Sea, avoiding land as much as possible he took the path by sea, through the Jade Sea soaring over Great Moraq through the Summer Sea and over the remains of what had once been the greatest civilization since his ancient ancestors, Valyria.
From the Valyrian ruins he flew north to Volantis, to the Temple of the Lord of Light. Circling the Temple he noticed the fledgling, large as it was his own mount was larger a grown male compared to the dragonling.
"Lykirī Artraxes, lykirī ", he said as slender fingers ran over dragon hide the beast beneath him rumbling watching the younger dragon as it descended.
Unhooking the riding chains from the belt he wore he gracefully dismounted the great dragon. While he knew his mount would serve and protect him he was cautious of the dragonling that seemed to be guarding the temple. He made his way towards the steps of the temples most inner sanctum, amethyst hues not unaware to the soldiers of the Fiery Hand stationed throughout.
Tumblr media
"I've come seeking Azor Ahai, the Mother of Dragons", he announced to the priests and priestesses of the temple.

Hey, it's Thursday! Ready for WORDS? Grass, blood, euphoria.
ACT 0
Scene 0
(The KING sits atop his lavish throne. His figure is aglow with the spotlight shining upon it, symbolizing his divine right of rulership. But deep shadows seep through the wrinkles and creases on his visage, as if a dark omen is weighing heavily on his brow. The COURT MAGE stands in attendance, massaging his long beard, his gaze distant yet focused.)
KING: The northern dragons have perished. The southern coalition has been pacified. The mines to the east brim with riches we trade with the merchants of the western empire. Tell me now: is my kingdom safe? Is it fated to flourish?
COURT MAGE: Sire, there is but one final hurdle which prevents your kingdom from thriving. It is at once the greatest of boons and the vilest of parasites. You must find what it is that your kingdom depends on the most and dispose of it. Then, and only then, will your kingdom be free to soar, as a chick that leaves the safety of its nest.
KING: What is it then? What causes glory to flow copiously from my kingdom, that it may greedily lap its excess?
COURT MAGE: I do not know, sire. The signs do not speak clearly. They offer a warning, and no more..
(Enter the ARMY GENERAL, clad in gleaming armor, his stride firm and his high-chinned posture proud.)
ARMY GENERAL: Sire, I know the true nature of this menace.
KING: Speak then, that we may place a name upon it.
ARMY GENERAL: I declare the HERO to be our calamity.
KING: The HERO! How so, when he rid us of beasts and spooks alike?
ARMY GENERAL: The HERO is a thief of glory, a robber of responsibility. He is a brute, a rapist and a pillager who wears the gilded cloak of his deeds over the perverse magnitude of his greed. The HERO is no less a monster than those he slays, a curse not unlike those he rids the kingdom of. His quests ride along the mouths of bards, as a plague does on the filthy back of scurrying rats, poisoning the mind with impossible ambitions and the body with desires it cannot fulfill. For what he does alone, a great thousand could never accomplish. For every dream he inspires, a thousand more he leaves crushed and unfulfilled. The HERO lives for the people, but never among them. He is vengeful, petty, and spills blood against the most superficial of slights. Sire, I ask of you: what is left when all the monsters are vanquished, but the worst monster of all?
(Enter the PHILOSOPHER, his flowing robes dragging behind him across the floor, his hand rubbing his chin like two were halves of an inseparable whole.)
PHILOSOPHER: Sire, if I may? I posit a different identity for the unseen affliction of your kingdom.
KING: And what would it be?
PHILOSOPHER: I doubt none more than I do that which is referred to as GOD.
KING: GOD! You would insinuate such blasphemy as to make an enemy of GOD?
PHILOSOPHER: Sire, can there be true freedom within the yoke of an unseen jailor? How can you be king, when one rules above even you? Slavery of the spirit is death of the mind, the wasteful abandonment of our bodies to prostrations and supplications to a GOD that neither sees nor listens. GOD is no more aware of us than we are of Him. He speaks deceptions through the mouths of priests, demanding tithes and wars in His name, supping on prayer while offering nothing in exchange. We bind ourselves with laws written to appease His tyrannical rule, dimming our potential and contenting ourselves with the boundaries He drew for us, barring us from ever trespassing a domain other than the stifling one He forced us into. What benevolence is there, within the GOD that fashioned war, illness and death to punish us with? And for what, but the sin of existing within His flawed domain? We are, us all, blades of grass, shaking as dictated by the breaths of a GOD who delights in laughing at our struggles. Oh, how high we would soar, if only we could dethrone Him!
KING: I see. The HERO or GOD: which shall I sacrifice for the sake of my kingdom?
COURT MAGE: Sire, there is one more who would speak. He claims himself to be the truest monster among them all, the vilest of vile, a scoundrel without compare, and one whom you could never part from.
KING: And who would dare make such bold claims here, in the presence of the KING?
(Enter the WRITER. His hair is disheveled, his visage darkened by circles around his eyes and the unshaved beginnings of a beard. His wrinkly t-shirt hangs loosely over a faded pair of jeans. He strolls in, unheeding of the appalled gazes he receives: his attention, and his grin, are entirely for the KING.)
WRITER: Sire, I am the WRITER who would make such bold claims. I am the truest monster among them all, the vilest of vile, a scoundrel without compare, and one whom you could never part from.
KING: You? Who are you if not a man? What do you wield, other than a harmless pen?
WRITER: This pen holds more power than the sword of a HERO. From its tip flow words truer than those of GOD. By dint of this pen, a kingdom is granted the right to exist eternal within the Elysium of a myriad pages. By staying my hand, I have condemned a thousand kings to the oblivion of forgettance. A hundred more, I turned into senile buffoons or vile, incestuous animals. In my hand, I hold the power to declare the victor of every war, the winner of every debate, to raise a nobody from the mud and put them on the very throne you sit upon, sire. For I am the WRITER, the father and murderer of Truth. In the throes of inspiration, I could fashion a VILLAIN to vanquish your HERO, a DEVIL to devour your GOD. I could alight your kingdom with the fires of revolution, only for want of watching it expire overnight in a single blaze of collective euphoria, or damn it to blind obeisance in the name of a vacuous ideal, chronicling its stagnation down to the mortal breath of its very last subject. You need me more than the heart that beats beneath your brocades. Your thrice accursed foe, your dearest ally. You may kill me, sire, when all is said and done, but by then, I will have already killed you first.
KING: That is impossible.
WRITER: Ah, how else, but by penning this abrupt conclusion?

The Priest Dreaming of a Dragon
Ten years ago, an evil dragon left a message saying that he would take away the princess after a decade unless he was given ten tons of gold. When the kingdom fails to meet the condition, the dragon swoops in and snatches the beautiful, golden-haired princess—Or priest. The dragon has actually kidnapped Father Ivor, who willingly put himself up to escape the stuffy and celibate life within the church. And as if freedom isn’t sweet enough, Ivor now has himself a handsome and rich dragon-man! All that’s left is to trick his captor into keeping him by his side forever...!

About the current (last?) arc of AnY and going full circle
Sorry if some fans already mentioned those ideas but I’ve been rereading the current arc, because it’s been quite long and the pace has its flaws sometimes, so I wanted to broaden my perspective on the story. 
First of all, as an introduction can I just say that I’m, as always, impressed by Hak’s character. He had so much cliché and shallow potential when the story started (I really used to roll my eyes at him), but he became one of my absolute favorite by how deep and strong-hearted he actually is, once he allows people behind the walls he built around him. Anyway, my love for his character & development knows no boundary. I had to say this, ok. I’ll explain why later in the post. Moving on. 
A conflict of generation
If there is one thing I love about Kusanagi-sensei, it’s the feminine touch she adds to her writing. For example, when she naturally addressed periods during the Xing arc and it fit perfectly, because that’s just how her writing goes. In this arc, it shows through the initial bold move to tell us readers about the past through the thoughts and words of a character we’ve never met, that is to say, Yonhi, Yuhon’s wife and Suwon’s mother. 
Tumblr media
And yet, it made absolute sense, because Yonhi was the reason behind the cataclysm that eventually led to Yuhon killing priests, as well as the falling-out between him and his younger brother, Il. All along, Yonhi was the silent but pained witness to this feud, watching as the ego of two brothers destroyed everything when none of the two backed down, leading to first Kashi’s death, then Yuhon’s murder and finally Suwon’s coup. 
So, in a way, even if I think Suwon makes a far better king than Yuhon or Il, his circumstances kinda precede the logical decision to get Il out of the picture before he completely annihilated his own kingdom in poverty and war, because there is too much resentment and hatred that fueled Suwon while growing up, even if we readers know that his motivations are primarily about saving Kouka from war against the Kai Empire.
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely despise both Yuhon and Il but, unfortunately for Suwon, Yona growing up sheltered and mostly unaware of the horrible truth highlights her own decisions throughout the series to be completely selfless and wanting to own up to her father’s misjudgement, rather than trying to get back at Suwon, effectively breaking the cycle of hatred amongst the royal family. 
Why the Wind Tribe kept on supporting Il when everyone else could notice that he was betting on his daughter as the reincarnation of King Hiryuu to save his country is beyond me (Mundok plz explain). Not that Yuhon was better, preaching wars, and I’m glad that Il eventually reconciled with Yonhi, telling him that he would accept Suwon’s judgement but...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...I can’t forgive him for his words. 
Like Yonhi, I’d rather he would have hoped that his conflict with his brother did not reach his children than entertaining it the way he did.
Tumblr media
Hopefully though, now that Yona read Yonhi’s memoirs, she will work towards achieving that goal. Not that I have any doubt, since she never really managed to hate Suwon. 
Speaking of the past generation, reading the latest chapters I couldn’t help but wonder about Yona's sad dream... could it be that she inherited Kashi’s gift? Kashi did say that she had these prophetic visions since very young which doesn’t seem to be Yona’s case, but I’ll keep the idea in mind, because it’s interesting. I mean, from Yonhi’s memoirs, it seems that Kashi envisioned that the child she would have would be Hiryuu’s reincarnation (whoever the father was going to be), so Yona inheriting the same prophetic gift from her mother would make sense. 
Tumblr media
What an ironic parallel to Suwon inheriting the Crimson Illness from Yonhi if that’s the case, am I right? 
Yona as Kouka’s next Queen
And by that I do not mean Keishuk’s plan to marry her to Suwon, because of her popularity with Kouka’s people. Obviously, the story always was to conclude in Yona getting her throne back and that’s even easier to imagine with Suwon’s disabling illness, but becoming a ruler is tough work and Yona had no real experience acting as a leader for an entire country. 
She didn’t know much before her father’s murder and, even after she became a runaway with Hak and the rest of the HHB, she finely dealt with crises affecting some parts of the kingdom but never the whole kingdom at once, like it’s doomed to happen with the war against the Kai Empire. 
Tumblr media
So I really appreciated her stepping up when Suwon couldn’t, because that’s definitely good training and we see the results in the latest chapters:
Tumblr media
To be fair, I always thought that Keishuk would be the biggest thorn in Yona’s side during this arc but, as many characters have said in this arc, he’s rather clever and honest about what he intends to achieve, which is why it’s not in his interests to get in the way of Yona if they share a similar goal. 
Looking forward to her facing even greater challenges. Good luck, Yona. <3
War against the Kai Empire: there is strength in unity
The Kai Empire has been depicted as the story’s big bad for a long while now and the common goal for which Yona’s faction and Suwon’s allies could unite, but I’m glad to get more specifics and new characters to explore that part of the plot.
Namely, Mei and Vall. With Chagol, they seem like the perfect foil trio to Suwon, Yona and Hak, except that Chagol seems like a real thorn in the other two’s backs, when a strong bond still ties our main trio in spite of the sad circumstances of the beginning. I particularly love the mirroring reflection between Mei and Yona...
Tumblr media
&
Tumblr media
...except that Mei is not at odds with one kingdom but with two and that she also deals with the Crimson Illness. :/
Now that war has started, the big threat that South Kai represents will obviously be dealt with, but Kouka kingdom will need more than its five tribes to win this. That’s where I’m sure we all expect to see old “enemies” come back, namely Xing Kingdom, since Kouren signed a military agreement with Suwon, thanks to Yona and Tao. I would bet that this won’t be enough either, but Xing are the only known allies that Kouka kingdom has. 
There is another “enemy” we know from the previous arc though, who have strong feelings against the Kai Empire, specifically about rulers treating their women badly and they are...
Tumblr media
...Ying Kuelbo and the Tully tribe. 
The big difference between Xing Kingdom and the Tully tribe is that Suwon never met or dealt directly with Kuelbo the way he did with Kouren and Tao. The Tully tribe lost and Kuelbo ran away, betrayed and having to find a new way to take on the Kai Empire. That’s why I think the Tully tribe would eventually make for a good ally in this war: it showed good promises when Yuran and Yona got along and I think Yona understood where Kuelbo was coming from, especially now that Mei is with them and can probably tell them in details about Chagol.
Tumblr media
Not saying this will happen soon, but since there is someone who met and fought against Kuelbo, probably gaining his respect, if this person was to seek the Tully tribe to make them Kouka Kingdom’s ally on Yona’s guidance, I think Kuelbo would give it a thought. That’s right, I’m talking about Hak, who’s currently on his way with Yoon to the Earth Tribe to fetch a drug that will not be able to save neither Suwon nor Mei, thanks Zeno for spoiling us. 
That’s what I meant when I said that Hak slowly became one of my favorite characters throughout the story. While the Sky Tribe seems to be taking bets on who between Yona and Suwon will eventually sit for good on that throne, there is a good chance that Hak will be one of the key players when it comes to winning that war against South Kai. Not that we should expect any less from the Thunder Beast. <3
To be very honest though, I expected this arc to be very tough for his character, because the truth behind Il’s death and Suwon’s coup would never be easily understandable to him (Yona’s own words, not mine): 
Tumblr media
Yet, surprisingly he was able to at least listen and, no matter if he will ever understand Suwon’s choice or not, he decided to trust in Yona’s decision to back Suwon in the rising political issues.  
In general, I love how Hak is the least bound by the past before Suwon’s coup. He did respect Il as his king, but he did not protect Yona in the beginning for anyone else’s sake but her own. Just like Kashi once asked him to always protect Yona (which is sweet since she could see the future) but, considering he never even thought about her words once in the story, it’s likely he doesn’t remember that at all, making the choice to be by Yona’s side defined as solely his own. 
It’s this strength of his that eventually led him to say recently that he would go fetch that drug with Yoon, knowing that it was for Suwon’s sake (surprising Suwon himself), just like he will definitely fight for Kouka Kingdom, not because Yona wants him to but because it’s clearly his own desire (see ch211 where he let Yun go alone so that he could help the Earth Tribe fight):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
All that makes Hak the wildest card of every agency in the plot, not simply because he’s strong and reliable and the biggest worry of the Sky Tribe, but because...
Tumblr media
...Yona and the four dragons will never give him up.
Through Hak, Yona will be able to assert her political weight and he will be there for her, like he always was, making it impossible for their little group to lose. What a power move, I love it. 
I think I should stop there because I already rambled so much. Looking forward to the rest of the arc, it’s going to be a wild ride!!

Something I've been wondering about: If Jon comes back as a fire wight like Beric Dondarrion and unCat, will he be able to get it up? Blood won't really be flowing in his body anymore, so would his dick be powered by fire magic or something like that?
I, too, have spent a great deal of time pondering Jon Snow’s dick, Anon. 😏 Jokes aside, I will admit right off the bat that most of what I have to offer is total speculation, but over-thinking the most minor details of ASOIAF happens to be my favorite pastime, so let’s go!
Like pretty much everyone who read the quote, I was totally thrown off by the “fire wight” revelation. Here’s the quote for reference:
“..poor Beric Dondarrion, who was set up as the foreshadowing of all this, every time he’s a little less Beric. His memories are fading, he’s got all these scars, he’s becoming more and more physically hideous, because he’s not a living human being anymore. His heart isn’t beating, his blood isn’t flowing in his veins, he’s a wight, but a wight animated by fire instead of by ice.”
So, an important distinction to make here is that this quote is about Beric Dondarrion specifically, not Jon Snow.
The condition of Jon Snow’s corpse might matter
George can be very clever with how he words things. Note that he goes into Beric’s deaths, describing multiple resurrections and how he’s falling apart before stating that his heart is no longer beating. It could be that a fresh “fire wight” might still possess bodily functions—at least at first. Catelyn, too, was a very sorry looking corpse by the time she was reanimated, therefore not a great comparison, either. Especially since it’s Beric rather than Thoros who, with very little life force to lend, resurrects her.
If nothing else, Jon will be “fresh”, and his location at the Wall means the low temperatures will help preserve his body even if the resurrection takes some time. 
And speaking of the Wall… there happens to be a special lady there who could help Jon, and whose powers happen to be amplified by the magic of the Wall...
Melisandre is profoundly more powerful than Thoros of Myr
Thoros may be a red priest, but otherwise he seems to be a pretty normal human man. We get a clue about when he converted from Jaime:
“Jaime had once heard Thoros tell the king that he became a red priest because the robes hid the winestains so well.”
Relatively recently, one might guess, as most children aren’t yet drunks. Further, he was never very dedicated to his faith, even questioning it at times.
Melisandre, on the other hand...
“Melisandre had practiced her art for years beyond count, and she had paid the price. There was no one, even in her order, who had her skill at seeing the secrets half-revealed and half-concealed within the sacred flames.”
While we don’t know much about her, this confirms that she spent countless years studying her craft, and no one in her order can match her skill. And no one believes in their faith more than Melisandre. Like in the television series, it’s a safe bet that she’s actually much older than the natural human lifespan, particularly if she managed to lose count of how many years she’s studied magic.
If Melisandre is the one to resurrect Jon Snow, she might not use a ‘last kiss’ method at all, or, if she does, it could be more powerful than anything Thoros is capable of.
Unlike Beric, Jon Snow is probably the prophesied prince
Speaking of Melisandre’s ability to glimpse secrets in the flames… there’s someone she sure seems to see a lot of:
“I pray for a glimpse of Azor Ahai, and R'hllor shows me only Snow.”
“Skulls. A thousand skulls, and the bastard boy again. Jon Snow.”
“The flames crackled softly, and in their crackling she heard the whispered name Jon Snow. His long face floated before her, limned in tongues of red and orange.”
I know. There is some contention about who the Prince that was Promised is. Regardless of whether you agree that it’s Jon Snow, you’ve got to admit that Melisandre is seeing him in the flames for a reason. And if he’s not the prophesied prince, then perhaps his blood has something to do with it. It’s likely that, for some reason, the combination of Targaryen and Stark blood matters. At least, Rhaegar Targaryen seemed pretty convinced...
Whatever Jon Snow’s business is in Westeros… it’s unfinished. And part of that unfinished business might just involve becoming a father.
The emphasis put on Jon fathering a child is notable
Let’s go back to Jon’s first chapter ever. It opens with Jon at Robert’s feast, the author uses Jon’s eyes to describe the setting and multiple characters. And then enters Benjen Stark. This is when we really get to know Jon. When you read this passage, really consider the author’s intent here:
"You don't know what you're asking, Jon. The Night's Watch is a sworn brotherhood. We have no families. None of us will ever father sons. Our wife is duty. Our mistress is honor."
"A bastard can have honor too," Jon said. "I am ready to swear your oath."
"You are a boy of fourteen," Benjen said. "Not a man, not yet. Until you have known a woman, you cannot understand what you would be giving up."
"I don't care about that!" Jon said hotly.
"You might, if you knew what it meant," Benjen said. "If you knew what the oath would cost you, you might be less eager to pay the price, son."
Jon felt anger rise inside him. "I'm not your son!"
Benjen Stark stood up. "More's the pity." He put a hand on Jon's shoulder. "Come back to me after you've fathered a few bastards of your own, and we'll see how you feel."
Jon trembled. "I will never father a bastard," he said carefully. "Never!" He spat it out like venom.
Suddenly he realized that the table had fallen silent, and they were all looking at him. He felt the tears begin to well behind his eyes.
This is how George R.R. Martin chooses to introduce us to Jon Snow. And gods, that always hits me right in the gut. It’s absolutely supposed to. Jon’s trembling, venomous anger is palpable. You feel the deep hurt and resentment in his words, right down to his core. Jon says he doesn’t care—but the bite in his words and the tears welling in his eyes tell us otherwise.
Jon Snow easily embraces his vow of celibacy. At first. And then comes Ygritte. And after getting his first taste of love and later flirting with the idea of becoming a lord when it’s offered to him by Stannis, Jon Snow begins to imagine what it might be like to have a wife...
“I might someday hold a son of my own blood in my arms. A son was something Jon Snow had never dared dream of, since he decided to live his life on the Wall.”
And look what happens the moment he does dare to dream of it...
“I could name him Robb. Val would want to keep her sister's son, but we could foster him at Winterfell, and Gilly's boy as well. Sam would never need to tell his lie. We'd find a place for Gilly too, and Sam could come visit her once a year or so. Mance's son and Craster's would grow up brothers, as I once did with Robb.
He wanted it, Jon knew then. He wanted it as much as he had ever wanted anything. I have always wanted it, he thought, guiltily. May the gods forgive me. It was a hunger inside him, sharp as a dragonglass blade.”
And the feeling transitions into an almost tangible hunger felt by his wolf, Ghost.
Speaking of Ghost…
Grab your tinfoil! ‘Cause Jon’s life might’ve already been ‘paid for’ ...By Daenerys
First… in case you didn’t know, Daenerys is probably a skinchanger:
“The slightest pressure with her legs, the lightest touch on the reins, and the filly responded. As she turned to ride back, a firepit loomed ahead, directly in her path. A daring she had never known filled Daenerys then, and she gave the filly her head.”
Basically, it goes like this:
As Daenerys wanders the Dothraki Sea in search of food after being whisked away by Drogon, she hears a wolf’s howl.
“Will (Ghost) howl for me when I'm dead, as Bran's wolf howled when he fell?”
Feeling lonely yet no less hungry, she eats some strange green berries. Her stomach begins to cramp.
“My flesh will feed the wolves and carrion crows, she thought sadly, and worms will burrow through my womb.”
Unfortunately, Daenerys then experiences some horrible diarrhea. Poor girl! I don’t bring it up to be crass, but because this purge bears striking resemblance to an earthly drug called Ayahuasca—a substance that, aside from emptying your bowels, is often used as a means to ‘open your third eye’ (Just as Bran does in the crypts, and he can finally reach Jon and Ghost…)
Dany falls asleep and begins experiencing trippy dreams about her brother—perhaps even achieving contact with the other side? Then...
“When she woke, gasping, her thighs were slick with blood.”
Assuming it’s nothing more than her period, Dany begins to wonder the last time she bled—hinting that it might’ve been a little while.
“The sight of so much red frightened her. Moon blood, it's only my moon blood, but she did not remember ever having such a heavy flow.”
Maybe a bit of a stretch, I know. But… this wretched and graphic scene of Dany’s loose bowels really made me wonder what in seven hells George was thinking. I was so embarrassed for Dany that I HAD to figure out why he’d do this to her.
And my best guess is that she’s using these latent skinchanging abilities to tap into this strange connection with the “blue rose” over at the Wall of Westeros and the silent wolf who finally howled for help upon his death… And so, Dany’s miscarriage may be the death that will pay for Jon’s life.
I might’ve found some more evidence to back this claim up, this is very new ‘evidence’, so bear with me:
“Fire”, in the world of ASOIAF, often translates to “life”. As is seen here in Sam’s speech following Aemon’s death (thanks, bridge4!):
“He was the blood of the dragon, but now his fire has gone out.”
Further, according to the wiki:
“When a follower of the Lord of Light dies, priests fill their mouths with fire and breathe flame into the deceased”
In the House of the Undying, Dany receives a series of chilling prophecies, one of which happens to be about fires:
“Three fires you must light, one for life, one for death and one to love”
I know, I know. Drogo’s pyre, the Khals, etc etc. But George might be playing with double meanings here… So, if we think of fires as conceptions, this could maybe mean:
One in exchange FOR the Dragon’s lives (Life)
One in exchange FOR Jon’s resurrection (Death)
One conceived (likely with Jon) and carried to term (TO love)
Food for thought! Especially considering that, like Jon, Dany possesses the blood of Old Valyria, and these sacrifices are probably all the more powerful as a result. But even if I’m dead wrong about that prophecy, well, fire still broadly means life, which bodes well for our brooding ‘bastard’, who might just end up as a “fire wight”.
Hopefully something in this drivel has given any Jon fans reading this a little bit of faith that, despite the slight setback of death, Jon will still be able to exercise his, uh, virility when he finally meets Dany. 😅 Thanks for the ask!!
