You know you've made it bigtime when you're first in Google search predictions. ⬆️
Ewan Mitchell has had a number of acting gigs before House of the Dragon. But his iconic Aemond Targaryen attracted more concerted attention than any of his previous jobs.
Tumblr media
As those results indicate, he has a part in the recent film Saltburn – though it's what might be described as a supporting role.

What they secretly did before the end of the war (because Zuko convinced her)
Tumblr media
Katara : Water, Earth, Fire, Air. Father, Smith, Warrior, Mother, Maiden, Crone, Stranger. I am hers, and he is mine. From this day, until the end of my days. (kisses him) Zuko : Water, Earth, Fire, Air. Father, Smith, Warrior, Mother, Maiden, Crone, Stranger. I am his, and she is mine. From this day, until the end of my days. (leans down, cups her face and kisses her)

Do you think that there was ever a way for Jaime and Brienne to end up together and have a "happily ever after"? Or do you think Jaime was always "meant to die" with Cersei? (Also, thank you so, so much for responding so beautifully to my ask about them earlier. Your writing is so poignant and lovely~) ☺️
Oh no thank you, I love having an excuse to talk about Jaime! But I have a few thoughts on that, first being I tend to think Jaimes story would not end up the way it was in the show.
It ties partially into Cerseis's end as well. When Cersei goes to Maggy the Frog, she is told a prediction of her future which ended up heavily dictating the course her life took. The most important part being when Maggy tells her this:
"When your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you."
The word valonqar is High Valyrian, translating roughly to the words "little brother." Cersei herself has become convinced this is referring to Tyrion. Their mother Joanna died giving birth to Tyrion three years earlier, and this vision of her future consumes her.
In the books as well, Jaime and Cersei have made many comments about how they think their lives and deaths are intertwined. That they were brought into this world together and therefore will leave it together. But the how, may not be romantic as they both perhaps once thought. They also both separately begin to think the other has become a stranger to the other. And in the Faith of the Seven, The Stranger represents that of death.
The thing is, there is a strong chance that it actually could very well be Jaime.
The most obvious being that Cersei was born first, making Jaime technically her younger brother. But also, Jaime's story revolved a lot around learning to let go of this toxic attachment he has to Cersei and becoming his own man, really for the first time in his life. His feelings about her severely deteriorate once Brienne gets him back to Kings Landing. In the books he literally burns her letter pleading for him to come fight for her when she is arrested by the faith militant.
I think it would've been smart to have Jaime lose the golden hand somewhere along the way, showing his final choice to leave her behind finally, the hand she had made for him after he returned to her a different man. I also think it would've been smart to somehow include Tyrion here.
Now I can actually see the way the show took as not unrealistic in its own way. Kings Landing is in a position where it will not survive the burning Daenarys is certainly about to horrifically inflict on the city, if not the Red Keep alone.
I think Jaime leaving to return to Cersei made sense but not how they did it. I can see Jaime thinking that if she is going to die, perhaps it should be by his hand. They came into this world together and they will leave it together but Jaime could come to see killing her himself is the final sever. He will never be free if she is alive to always try and pull him back in.
Have Cerseis final moments be so convinced against Tyrion to the point she likely may be desperate enough to try and kill him herself, only to have Jaime be the one to kill her. Not to end his last ties to Cersei, but in the end, kill her to protect his little brother.
I cannot see an ending for Jaime where he has any love for Cersei left, but that he kills her in the end not for himself, but to protect the little brother she always thought would kill her first. So in a way, both brothers were the valonqar one on each side of her in her death.
It also links back to the only time in Jaimes life when he made a choice as his own man to murder King Aerys II when he was young, and the second time he makes a choice as his own man is the literal representation of the one person who will never allow Jaime to be separate from her in the way he needs.
Now I do admit, I struggle to see a happy ending for him and Brienne, as much as I would salivate at them being genuinely happy accepting this strange love no one else understands but them, only unlike Cersei, his with Brienne is real and based off of respect.
But SO MUCH of Jaime's story revolves around living his life so toxically linked with Cersei. I do think their story does end with a mutual understanding between he and Brienne that what they have is real and Jaime does not doubt or question that, but whether or not he actually lives to see that through is very difficult for me to see.
Because even though, especially in the books, Jaime and Brienne are essentially written to represent two soulmates. Thats how much their own seperate arcs complete each others too, his entire life is defined around two things. Cersei, and the one time he made a choice to stand as his own man and murder his King.
And I think it makes sense that his final choice revolves around protecting his little brother, from the sister who spent HER entire life revolving around her obsession with Tyrion being the one who will kill her.
Jaime spends his entire life thinking his death will be with Cersei, and in the end, it is, but as a man that would not exist without Brienne having helped him get there. But he and Brienne, are not so toxically co dependant on each other, and so she lives, to make sure what they had together is not yet forgotten.
If only, just remembered by her. Because they love each other, but they don't need each other. Cersei needed Jaime to the point it was always going to be the reason it ends them both.
I have a lot of feelings about the end of Jaimes story, and Jaimes first sacrifice was his image and reputation for the sake of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. And his final sacrifice is his life for the sake of his little brother, who is innocent against the vengeance their sister sought on him her whole life.
I also like the idea personally of Brienne being the one to keep the golden hand, or Jaime before leaving for Kings Landing to kill Cersei, leaves Brienne the golden hand on purpose. The thing that Cersei had made for him, that so heavily represented a life Jaime did not fit into anymore, being kept by the woman he came to love so much that she was the reason he did not fit into that life anymore.
She has his sword, his armour, and the hand representing in their own way, how much Brienne influenced him to become his own man.
That she keeps it, because he could not have become this man without her. And she will always now be able to remember that.

there is no straight pairing that I go crazy for more than Jaime/Brienne from Game of Thrones. They are knights fighting for what they value. They challenge each other’s world to become more complicated and rich. They see themselves in each other and see who they want to be. They do not think they could be loved selflessly. They love each other selflessly. When there are no more oaths to follow, they choose to value each other. They were enemies, they were friends, they are the person they trust most in the room even when they are at odds. They should have found a home in each other but instead they were ruined. Brienne was left begging for the love that would be truer than the one Jaime chose. She brought hope and kindness back into his world, and he brought possibility into hers, and the writers threw it all away because a happy ending was not allowed in the world they created.

reading this in a book published in 2016... 💀
(keep in mind that I think 26-episode seasons were frankly untenable and knowing the hours the production averaged I would not want anyone to go through that ever again)

About Dany's resurrection: what about kl's burning? Do you think it would still be fair to the character to live with this crime? I mean there's no way HBO is going to erase or justify what happened since it was the plot they defended the most so it doesn't seem fair to me for Dany to be involved again in this story since they destroyed who she really was even before she was killed
Fair question anon.
Honestly, at this point, I wouldn't even mind if it was something they just entirely glossed over and pretended never happened and Dany was like, "Oh yeah, that was wrong, I'm sorry I snapped, I feel bad, okay, moving on!"
Because all I really want is Dany back, acting like her selfless self, and getting a happy ending. I don't care how they do it.
But, if they did try to have some sort of explanation for it that absolved Dany entirely, they could do so in a number of ways. It is fantasy after all.
Because of the shit ending, I am incredibly fond of the "Bran was the villain the whole time" theory. This video edit is INCREDIBLE and so well done (tw Dany's death scene) and honestly, aside from everyone's eyes turning white, this is essentially what happened anyway.
youtube
But there are other ways to do it, if they didn't want to throw the blame on Bran (don't know why they wouldn't consider it though seeing as how most people hated the idea of 3-eyed-raven!Bran becoming king).
Like I said, it's fantasy, so there could have been some non-Bran related mind-control going on. Maybe it was even the Red Priests and after Dany is resurrected by them to continue doing their bidding, Jon has to save her from them. Another powerful warg other than Bran could have mind-controlled Dany and that's the Big Bad of the series that they now have to defeat, and when Dany is resurrected, she'll be the only one who knows and the roles are reversed, with her trying to convince people of the new threat, as Jon did with the White Walkers.
One I would find immensely entertaining is if they alluded to mind-control but never actually named it and referred to it as some "dark presence" or something and it's actually a cheeky writer's Easter egg and the "dark presence" was Dave and Dan's shit writing. 😆
But yeah, as long as they wouldn't bring her back only to make her the Big Bad again as like, the Night Queen or something, I don't fucking care. (And let's face it, Emilia would never agree to that anyway, she's been through enough). As long as well get Dany back and a happy ending, they can do whatever they like.

ive been thinking and i only have one theory on why arya would return to westeros
she meets theon and jeyne there and they tell her of the decimation of her house and how the boltons took control and how jon is dead.
she has a great epiphany at the unmasking of uthero celebrations because of the interaction. she remembers something from her past that she nearly forgot like a story from old nan or something more significant like her fathers face. she’ll take off her mask and look in the mirror and she’ll see her father staring back at her and she’ll remember that she can never be nobody she’ll always be a stark a daughter of winter. she’s a wolf not a cat.
she will realize that she hasn’t been brave that she hasn’t joined the faceless men to get revenge or find a place for herself in the world she has been running. running away from her past and all her pain and now she has to face it. she has to return to all that pain to get past it. before anyone’s like ACTUALLY SHE IS SUPER BRAVE zip it she is brave but that doesn’t change the fact she ran. im not blaming her because she is a little kid but she’ll realize true bravery is to face the pain head on.

My type? Overheated female characters who’s male counterparts are beloved and would be queer if the writers weren’t cowards.
Sansa Stark
Alicent Hightower
Edwina Sharma
Paris Geller
Carol Danvers
Rose Tico
Mellie Grant
Korra (to their credit the writers actually allowed her to be gay)

Winds of Winter speculations
Cersei, Arianne and Jon Connington:
Oldtown will fall to Euron Greyjoy. Willas Tyrell will have to send forces south to fight the Ironmen. The Reach defences will be spread too thin, Highgarden will be virtually defenceless.
News of f!Aegon and the Golden Company taking the Stormlands gets out. The Merryweathers, Tarly, Redwyne of Arbor, and many other Reach lords will betray the Tyrells and join f!Aegon.
(These are suspected former Blackfyre supporters, and many lords in the Reach think the Tyrells are upstarts, and that Highgarden and overlordship should have gone to one of them when house Gardener went extinct.)
Myrcella returns to King's Landing together with the sandsnakes; Nymeria who takes Oberyn's place in the small council and Tyene who infiltrates the High Sparrow's inner circle.
Cersei's trial by combat. Robert Strong easily wins. The charges are dropped.
Margaery's trial by the seven. Tyene influences the trial against Margaery to remove her as queen (allowing Arianne to take her place) and splinter the Lannister-Tyrell alliance. Margaery is declared guilty of high treason and locked up awaiting execution.
Arianne joins f!Aegon in order to seduce him and become queen of Westeros. Dorne joins the fight on f!Aegon's side.
Highgarden surrenders to the Golden Company and joins their forces in order to save Margaery. The Golden Company, Dorne and the Reach attacks King's Landing.
Lady Nymeria murders Tommen.
Cersei flees to Casterly Rock with Myrcella and crowns Myrcella queen.
f!Aegon is crowned Aegon the VI on the Iron Throne.
Margaery is demoted from queenship. Epic tug-of-war between Arianne and Margaery for who will marry f!Aegon.
(The sandsnakes WILL NOT assassinate Margaery, because then f!Aegon will loose Tyrell's support and start a civil war within the Reach, which will weaken f!Aegon's side.)
MEANWHILE:
Sansa:
The tourney of the Vale. Alayne gives her favor to a Mysterious Knight.
The Mysterious Knight wins the tourney. Harry the Heir feels humiliated.
During the festivities the Mysterious Knight kidnaps Alayne.
Turns out he's Timett son of Timett, the war chief of the Burned Men.
Timett has recognized Sansa from their time in King's Landing. Tyrion promised the Vale to the mountain clans, Sansa is Tyrion's husband and Littlefinger's (pretended) daughter.
Also, Timett is the son of one of the lost Arryn sisters, his mother being the elder sister of Harry the Heir's mother, who was abducted by the mountain clans years ago. Ergo, Timett is higher in the succession order than Harry. And he wants his birthright. (Possibly his mother is alive among the Burned Men, and can vouch for him.)
The Vale rallies to rescue Alayne on Sweetrobin's orders. Harry the Heir intends to regain lost pride by leading the rescue.
Harry the Heir is promptly killed.
Alayne is revealed as Sansa Stark and manages to parlay a truce between the Burned men and the Lords of the Vale.
Littlefinger finds out Timett is another heir (albeit a problematic one) and thinks "Useful!".
The Lords of the Vale are not happy to have the war chief of the Burned Men as Sweetrobin's heir or the Burned Men as allies. But as long as Sweetrobin won't die and the Burned Men don't do trouble in the Vale, let's agree to the damn truce.
Also, holy shit it's Ned Stark's little daughter!
The North is by right hers, she's the heir to the Riverlands (until Roslin Frey gives birth to Edmure Tully's child), and she's a potential bride to Robert Arryn (according to the Vale Lords) or Timett (according to Littlefinger, who moved his plans from Harry to Timett. And this heir comes with a lot of clansmen!).
Epic tug-of-war between the Vale Lords and Littlefinger for Sansa.
Sansa COULD deploy the clansmen to free the captive Northern and Riverland men and lords from Frey captivity. But Edmure is still imprisoned in Casterly Rock.
f!Aegon and Cersei both demands fealty from the Vale and the Riverlands. With Lord Edmure Tully in a Casterly cell, the Riverlands are forced to submit to Cersei. Littlefinger in the Vale submits to f!Aegon.
Littlefinger plans on having Sansa seducing f!Aegon? Some kind of proof/witnesses of Sansa's innocence in king Joffrey's murder needs to be revealed/fabricated so the charges of kingslaying against her are dropped. (Is this still necessary if one dynasty is replaced with another?)
Cersei still believes Sansa is guilty, and is NOT happy she's getting off free for murdering her son.
Sansa needs to take charge in the Riverlands against Cersei while Edmure is imprisoned. f!Aegon travels to the Riverlands to offer his support against Cersei.
Yup. f!Aegon falls head over heels in love with Sansa. Arianne and Margaery are not happy. Sweetrobin (if he is stil alive) is not happy. Cersei is NOT happy. She starts to suspect Sansa is the younger, more beautiful queen.
Lots and lots of more things will, of course, happen. Something with the Freys (pretty sure it will involve Arya and Nymeria's wolfpack, or Lady Stoneheart). Euron Crowseye, Oldtown and Sam, the Nights Watch, Stannis, Daenerys, and so on. But this is it for now.
Also:
Jon Connington will go mad upon hearing the city bells chime (either when the Golden Company capturing King's Landing, or in a later battle). He falls into a well during a duel, and King's Landing is poisoned with greyscale.

2031, George R.R. Martin finally releases The Winds of Winter, but announces that the story has grown so much over the last two decades that he needs to expand it from seven to ten books, so he's still got four left to write.
Disney announces that they will be producing a new "faithful adaptation" of ASOIAF, which fanboys compare to Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, but enthusiasm tanks when it is revealed that the show will be rated PG-13 with Alex Kurtzman as showrunner.
It becomes the most successful show ever streamed, and Jon Snow (Jacob Tremblay) is one of the main characters in the MCU-Star Wars-Ice and Fire crossover limited series written and directed by Wil Wheaton (it was actually written by a committee and directed by a hundred unnamed CGI artists in previz, but he gets sole credit).

And when Sansa on books is cast aside for her younger brothers ? Hope her fans ride just as hard for patriarchy and male primogeniture as they do now.
Oh, they probably will still, bc at their core, their vision of Sansa and her storyline is based on misogyny and women displaying inactive and nonconfrontational "power". If she's put aside for her brothers, it will feel natural for them.
