Browsing floating plant offerings online, and right now the average cost of a portion of duckweed seems to be around 8 bucks.

They should be paying people to take that shit.

anyways the #real ending for Daenerys will be sitting in the Water Gardens that her namesake created, watching children from every class and rank and birth play together, on a hot summer day where Winter is a distant memory and her people can be at peace

Fort Worth. Water Gardens.

You know when you talked about water magic been the only magic that has not come back I got me think about doran and how they are having problems with a lack of water and when oberyn was taking to his daughters how one of the cities is now dyed up now and how it used to be water there and now is a end city. This made me think that water magic would come back when I first read these chapters because why bring them up you know what the point of grrm writing about it if he is not going to do some thing with it because he could of easily not bring it up however now am not so sure because there is so much grrm has to explain and write about would he have time to do so and if he does would he have to cut it cut it from the books like he had to do to other storys and also I don't think grrm really cares that much about doran or the martel that much

hello first of all sorry this is from 2020 and i literally havent opened my ask box I’m sorry!! I hope this answer finds you well; link to the original post here: https://www.tumblr.com/hangrybluewhale/620233733056888832/as-annoyed-that-i-am-that-the-water-magic-of-the

i don’t know if the Rhoynar/Dornish water magic is going to make an appearance in the books because i think as you said grrm has A Lot of ground to cover in the next two books.

However i do think that even if water magic etc isn’t featured i think there’s a case to be made for water being an important symbol/motif in Dorne — water as a precious resource that sustains life in the desert, water and the water gardens as a symbol of love (the implied romance between maron martell and daenerys daughter of naerys, the protective love and responsibility prince doran feels for the children playing in the gardens).

i love house martell and idt grrm gives 0 fucks about the martells but i think it’s possible that his framing of the martells as side characters in a sub-plot does affect how he write about them

i think asoiaf would be a different story if house martell was introduced as the main POV characters with cool waterbending powers. that would be incredible! but i think grrm’s primary intention in developing the martell/dornish sub-plot was to engage with the question of the price of seeking vengeance and justice and what does it cost. which are very compelling questions and i think grrm handles it in a nuanced way

but also i think this is the reason why grrm never thought to give the martells magic powers etc because that’s not their “role” in the story of asoiaf (it’s kind of like the reason why the tyrells/lannisters don’t seem to have much magical stuff going on either, because that’s not their “space” in the narrative.)

"You’re the One I Adore" was the first DIY music video we made. This version of the track comes from our first DIY album, Beginning Kernels, like the version of "Ivan the Terrible Rides His One Trick Pony" that is featured in our most popular MV does. This music video was filmed in Fort Worth, Texas, BK’s favorite city in Texas, at the Fort Worth Water Gardens (yes, before Kendrick Lamar released his, so he must have been copying our idea 😜) where we were unable to walk down into the cascades due to rainy weather conditions (they close the cascades off on rainy, snowy, and icy days), Vaquero Coffee off the Sundance Square, which is owned by BK’s college classmate, Chris Crafte—an extraordinarily talented songwriter, performer, and artists who needs to publish some tunes—, and other parts of downtown Fort Worth. The music video stars BK’s younger brother, who’s favorite coffee shop was Vaquero Coffee at the time of shooting, BK’s soon to be sister-in-law, and BK.

Do you get the equivalent of “writer’s block”, that slump where, whatever you need a bit of creativity for, the ideas just don’t come…?

We all need a bit of creativity for something, even if it’s only deciding what to have for dinner.

But I can honestly say I’m fortunate enough to never be lost for ideas. Wherever I am, I just love looking round for beauty and taking photos of it with my phone, and that’s mainly where my ideas for my art come from – from the beauty I see around me. And I’m lucky to get to see lots of loveliness as I amble through life. If we’re out anywhere special, like a garden or animal park, I literally take hundreds of photos!

This watercolour painting of a “Pink Sensation” waterlily at Burnby Hall Gardens in Pocklington, Yorkshire happened because we stopped off to see some of Steve’s cousins on our way to a week’s holiday in Whitby last September. I didn’t take quite so many photos as usual at these gardens, because I was trying hard to be good company and not rude 🤣🤣🤣…. But I got enough good photos to be able to paint this waterlily!
