it hurt to remember how happy she had been that morning. hullen had helped her mount, and she'd ridden out with the snowflakes swirling around her, off to see the great wide world. (a storm of swords, sansa vii)

“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”

Redesigns of Alicent’s ladder dress from 1x02. I scrapped the ladder cutouts completely because I just don’t like them lol. I imagine the jeweled collar to have a similar thematic weight as the torc Dany wears in agot. I wanted my design to be conservative but also not- imo the original dress is a little too on the nose as far as Otto’s intentions go so I wanted to rein that in here. I wound up landing on a simple but fitted velvet dress. I also did two color schemes- the first one is more in line with the original navy, with added emeralds (or something) on the collar for House Hightower. The other is a classic black/red because I wouldn’t put it past Otto to dress Alicent in Targaryen colors as a form of subliminal messaging.
