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.

I think there's something to be said for fanfiction that loves canon in a way that’s rude. Like thank you for this wonderful thematic tragedy made out of this character’s entire arc ending in death, it was emotionally and intellectually moving, but also fuck you fuck you fuck you they live, this time and every time they live, they never died, their flaws are not their undoing, actually they have no flaws, actually they save everyone, actually who cares about a story, any story, where this one dies, actually i cared about that story so much i made a new one, actually i cared so much i unmade the old one, you gave me morals and i left them for the mortal, but they’re mine now and i will never let them die, actually thank you, actually fuck you, strongly worded letter to follow
A kiss for canon and spit in its face all at once, it’s great

“Robb will rule, you will serve. Men will call you a crow. Him they'll call Your Grace. Singers will praise every little thing he does, while your greatest deeds all go unsung." - ACOK
“Jon is the only brother that remains to me. Should I die without issue, I want him to succeed me as King in the North. I had hoped you would support my choice” - ASOS

If we get a scene of Arya crowning Jon, it needs to parallel the scene of Jon gifting Needle to Arya for me. A personal scene between the two of them that's about their unconditional love for each other. It isn't about Jon becoming King but about Arya supporting him in the same way he supported her. "Girls get the arms but not the swords. Bastards get the swords but not the arms" come full circle with two outcasts supporting each other occupying spaces that society says they can't

Jon Snow's Perpetual Princehood
Promise me, she had cried, in a room that smelled of blood and roses. Promise me, Ned. The fever had taken her strength and her voice had been faint as a whisper, but when he gave her his word, the fear had gone out of his sister's eyes. 
"Mother." There was a sharpness in Robb's tone. "You forget. My father had four sons."
"The Night's Watch will make for Hardhome. I ride to Winterfell alone, unless…" Jon paused. "… is there any man here who will come stand with me?" The roar was all he could have hoped for, the tumult so loud that the two old shields tumbled from the walls.

Crowns, Tiaras, Diadems of A Song of Ice and Fire
Tumblr media
This is a comprehensive list of every crown, tiara and diadem mentioned in the entirety of A Song of Ice and Fire and related books, because I'm insane. This is a very long post so enjoy.
The Rights of Inheritance
Tumblr media
Royal crowns, Tiaras and Diadems are usually inherited by the next monarch and destributed at their whim. Certain crowns in canon are symbolically important, lending credence to a claimant's claim to the throne. During the Dance, the crown of Aegon the Conqueror became of of two relics to confirm Aegon II's right to the throne throne at a time it was disputed. Even during the short Regency of Aegon II, Prince Aemond wore the circlet as an affirmation of his power.
The Fate of Royal Jewelry
Tumblr media
Many of the Crowns on this list haven't been seen in a while. I suspect as in royal jewels in real life, many of the pieces have either been sold off to afford wars or lavish livestyles or have been broken down to create newer pieces. It may be that the families are still in possession of these crowns but they have taken a new shape.
Crowns of Westeros
Tumblr media
Crown of Aegon I - The Conqueror's Crown
The Conqueror's Crown is an open circlet of Valyrian Steel and large square cut rubies. Aegon's crown was of the trappings of legitimacy for House Targaryen, worn by some of her more martial minded Kings. It's notable wearers are Aegon I, Aenys I, Maegor I, Aegon II, Daeron I "The Young Dragon" and unusually, Prince Aemond for a period during the Dance. The crown was lost in Dorne during the campaign of The Young Dragon.
Crown of Aenys I
The crown of Aenys I was a large, ornate circlet of yellow gold inlaid with pearls and jade. It also depicted the faces of each of the Seven gods.

man am i over people who've never actually read asoiaf shitting on it lmao
#i had two different posts willfully misinterpreting grrm cross my dash the last couple days#the aragorn tax policy quote isn't shitting on lotr or intended to be taken as a literal 'you must write about kings' tax policies' mandate#it's about how grrm is interested in different themes to tolkein#like the quote goes on to ask if aragorn commits genocide against the orcs after rotk or like what happens there how isthat tension resolve#in lotr it doesn't matter what happens to the orcs after aragorn is crowned because the story is about frodo's journey and not aragorn#and grrm KNOWS that & is literally making the point HIMSELF that asoiaf is more about the politics than lotr is#we see those tensions explored in plots like the wall with jon having to satisfy stannis the watch and the wildlings all at once#it's not an insult - it's just a fucking comparison & explanation. marketing speech more than anything close to anti-lotr hatred. like cmon#and then the second post was talking about how edmure tully is called weak for letting his smallfolk into his castle#and how that proves that george is an idiot who hates kindness and doesn't understand the medieval era#as if the other characters calling edmure weak for that wasn't kind of the entire point of the riverlands destruction arc#and it's not a purposeful contrast between edmure and other lords (specifically robb in his kingly campaign)#anyway it'd be nice if people read and used their brains to think some thoughts about what they read before talking shit.#asoiaf

i am Once Again thinking about how impactful robb & sansa as twins is to the narrative. opposite sides of the coin. the eldest son is forced to take his father’s place, to go as far as bearing a crown, in the name of duty and family. and on the other side, the eldest daughter is forced to play little bird, to hide her teeth behind courteous smiles, to be an unwilling bride in the name of duty and family and keeping herself alive because that is what this world forces women into. a part of sansa cracks when she loses lady, but when robb dies, she loses it. a fragment of something that she’ll never know again. ( they used to share wolf dreams and now that they are both gone, sansa will never dream again. )

Golden Crown of Sorrow
Princess Cerelle Baratheon, the Lioness of King’s Landing, learned at a young age how to spin lies and play games with the best of the kingdoms’ lords and ladies when it came to politics and scheming. She thrived in the capital, steadily gaining influence and collecting knowledge that she wielded like a weapon. She crafted careful plans for herself, envisioning all of the steps that she needed to take in order to help her family rise to the highest of pedestals. But all it takes are a few simple words from her father to make all of her plans crumble before her eyes.
Marriage was something that she had never given too much time and thought. She’d heard names tossed about her whole life- Loras Tyrell, Oberyn Martell, Robin Arryn- amongst a few others, and she had adjusted her plans accordingly for each one.
But marrying the Stark heir was not something that she had considered, nor was leaving the South for the distant North. Everything that she had worked so hard for would be useless in that cold wasteland, surrounded by simpleminded Northerners who held no regard for complex politics and manipulations.
However, in a stroke of fate, everything changes.
As the realm is plunged into war, Cerelle rises to meet it with all of the grace and ferocity befitting a Lannister. For hers was the blood of the lion, and she would tear the wolves apart from the inside until only she stood among the bloody remains.

I think I might be in the minority for thinking this. but daenerys's crown as described in the books in ugly as sin. weirdly shaped, bulbous and bulky, absolutely no color harmony to be seen. even the most talented artists cannot make that thing look good in my eyes.
Tumblr media
( x )
in my mind's eye I just scrap it entirely & imagine dany's crown being shaped a bit like these:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
( x, x )
rather than jutting out, the three dragons are etched into the face of the crown, or maybe the crown is shaped into their outline. rubies, emeralds, and yellow diamonds or yellow sapphires are the eyes of drogon, rhaegal, & viserion (yeah yeah I know rhaegal's eyes are yellow not green, but this is a crown!! I'm going for aesthetics here!) maybe they can be used to decorate the rest of the crown too. but other than the jewels, the crown is entirely gold; none of that gold + silver + jade + ivory + onyx metal-mixing mess.
it can still be ostentatious, just less messy.
