The Ashford Theory and my patience running thin
Welcome, welcome my guys, gals and non-binary pals, to another scream into the void that the Ashford theory is, in fact, very jonsa
On to the arguments!
1. The suitor has to have the correct last name, not family, look at Joffrey Baratheon, you stupid jonsa
Hypothesis - the suitor has to have the corresponding name, not family, and because Jon is a Snow he’s out of the running. The other prong is fAegon who is actually a Blackfyre and not Targeryen, who can also be the suitor.
Thesis - Joffrey is the only other suitor to have a different name. Joffrey and Jon have also been set up as foils from the start of AGOT. Joffrey is a bastard masquerading as the rightful king and Jon is the rightful king (thrice crowned) masquerading as a bastard. It makes sense that they are the only two suitors to have the wrong name as this establishes them as inverses in another way. The last suitor being the foil of the horrible first suitor thereby showing character growth, and plot progression and resolution? Count me in.
As for Young Griff being a Blackfyre, here’s a meta or two, maybe even an argument, for him being the real Aegon VI Targaryen but take my personal fav evidences of Tyrion figuring out that Young Griff is Aegon VI Targaryen and then, Varys literally telling a dying Kevan Lannister about the true Targaryen prince and why would you lie to a dying man? How does that serve your purpose?
This is literally grrm telling us who Young Griff actually is, though this does not count him I out of the contenders, it reduces the weight of him being the fifth suitor, due to story arcs and well, his doomed fate.
Conclusion - While Aegon VI is a strong contender, there is much, much more literary weight and nuance with Jon being the Targaryen suitor.
2. Lady Ashford was not crowned the Queen of Love and Beauty by any champion!!! Take that jonsas
Hypothesis - tQoLaB is a title analogous to a betrothal/love interest
Thesis - there have been no allusions to the title of tQoLaB while trying to foreshadow a relationship, except for a really, really bad one (r + l) that plunged the whole realm into a civil war and we should not take that as a good sign
Conclusion - we’re grasping at straws here besties
3. Dunk disrupted the Ashford Tourney, therefore Sxndxr will disrupt Sansa’s prospects and other things
Hypothesis - Dunk & Sxndxr are are analogous and since there was no conclusion to the Tourney we can safely assume that it’s sxnsxn foreshadowing
Thesis - Brienne is the Dunk asoiaf corollary, not Sxndxr. Brienne is theorized to be Dunk’s descendant. She even has her shield painted like Dunk’s, apart from their striking character parallels and being a true foil to all the other knights in the story. Mr. Gravedigger is just tall :/
“Your door reminded me of an old shield I once saw in my father’s armory.”
Brienne II, AFFC
Brienne has Dunk’s shield in her family home possibly because she’s a descendant of Dunk but then goes ahead and gets her shield painted exactly like this one
“[The painted shield] was more a picture than a proper coat of arms, and the sight of it took her back through the long years, to the cool dark of her father’s armory. She remembered how she’d run her fingertips across the cracked and fading paint, over the green leaves of the tree, and along the path of the falling star.”
Brienne II, AFFC
Secondly, just because the tourney did not have a (satisfactory) conclusion does not mean that the tourney did not exist to serve a purpose. I doubt grrm would likely give out his whole story as early as 1998.
Conclusion - BRIENSA 4eva!!!!!
4. Valarr Targaryen died of a sickness and Aegon VI is doomed to die and is connected to a sickness, are you looking at the nerves popping out of my thick, brainy skull
Thesis - the fifth suitor is 100% Aegon and there’s no one else
Hypothesis - there is a Targaryen.. currently dead.. in the books… (thnk u @istumpysk for ur galaxy brain). The plague in the story serves to connects Aegon more to Dany than to a northern girl he doesn’t know about and might not like since she’s a Stark and his mother is Elia Martell.
Conclusion - jonsa
5. This is all a coincidence & u jonsas are reaching as always
Hypothesis - though george is known to tie every deep end, every crack theory, even farfetched ones that the readers have not caught, this one thing completely skipped his notice because exceptions are always there
Thesis - yes, because this is acotar & not asoiaf and he’s not grrm, i am
Conclusion - JONSAAAAAAAAAAAA

Heyo, I made some Spooky Family doodles for Twitter since I was participating in a Spooky Month Inktober! I didn’t manage to finish it (I never have before-) but I did get some good sketches in. So here they are, and the themes they’re based on! (Some even include l o r e)
“Cult”
So the cultists are actually actively trying to get to Skid and Pump. However, it never works out for them since the spookeez have a ton of monster friends. A cultist with bad intentions getting a bit too close to the boys may result in them being eaten.
“Ice cream”
Heehoo funny ice cream
“Pumpkin”
Jack o’ lantern carving! Skid has acquired pumpkin goop and is boutta do a lil trolling
“Skeleton”
Here he is! The skeleton! The boy child!! Lila is very proud of he
“Mystery”
Some mysterious dads, what could be spookier? The figure on the right is Pump’s father, not his actual appearance of course, but the design that I’ve chosen to represent him with. I don’t think I want to design what he really looks like, I prefer when he stays mysterious, like Skid’s dad. Plus, I don’t think he deserves a face either.
“Friends”
Well, who other to draw then the two spookiest boys having a spooky time?
“Scary”
So I actually drew this before the 5th SM episode came out, but it still feels pretty fitting. Don’t worry, Skid’ll be fine. He gets out of spooky trouble like he always does!

Howdy Hey, Howdy Ho !!
Welcome to this blog's 1000 follower event, Tai's 1k Twang! Not to my surprise, the majority of last week's poll chose to dress our favorites in the dusky glow of the wild west ...
Details for the Event;
-> This event is open for ANY character to be requested! Keep in mind that if they have an extremely complex design, I may skip it due to time constraints.
-> Please limit requests to 1 - 3 characters. If you'd like them to interact in the sketch, please state so! Otherwise I will end up drawing them separated. If they are characters from different medias, feel free to send separate asks!
+ With this in mind, if you have anything you'd like to see them doing within theme, speak up! You want your blorbo holding a baby cow? Riding a horse? Shopping for boots? Lets do it!
-> GO HOG WILD!
An absolute HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported me all 12 whole ass years on this old blog. Everyone who interacts with my art and loves what I create makes it easier to pick the pen back up. I seriously can't thank you all enough.
Submit your favorite characters, or anyone you'd like to see me draw below, and I'll draw them in a Cowboy AU!
NOW LETS GET THIS COOKIN' YEEHAW !!
