i was really trying to postpone this update with the hopes that i’ll figure a way to deal with my workload,    but with having 30+ pages to read every day,   along with various assignments,    activity on this and my other blog will drop;    i will lurk on the dash during breaks,   and will focus mostly on memes and headcanons,    replies to ims/discord will be painfully slow.

love thinking about all the symbols of legitimacy the hightowers used during aegon's coronation ( aegon's crown, aegon's sword, being anointed by the septon ), and how they purposefully did everything 'by the book', considering how nothing about said coronation is legitimate, especially the illegitimate means that happen behind the curtain ( the murder of lord caswell, the murder of lyman 🐝sburry ), hammering home how important appearance is to the common folk + how it really is all a big chess game, if you know the rules and how to manipulate them, you're likely to gain support +++ love thinking about how years later, margaery and the tyrell's focus is EXACTLY on said appearances, none of the small folks care that the tyrells supported renly, here they are saving them from hunger, and here margaery is interacting with them!

one of the most central themes in asoiaf is ... family; peel back the existential threat, the political restructuring of the landscape, the questions of morality and amorality, the idea of power and crowns and kings and pawns and schemes, and you'll arrive at ... family — the love and hate and the entire spectrum of emotions directed at and stemming from being part of a family; it's a story about the love we bear our siblings and parents, the trauma they inflict, the estrangement from, the reunion with — it's all about family.

the concept of marriage is important for margaery’s journey as a character  —  not only as a chance to establish a union between houses,   but as a way to combine customs and traditions,   to unite highgarden customs with the customs of whatever house she’s marrying into,   thus heralding a new era   (   and why the imagery of spring and flowers is equally as important  :   the birth of novel ideas,   a new beginning  )     ...   ultimately in an attempt to bring people closer.     my characterisation hinges strongly on margaery’s relationship with the small folk,   and exactly through these traditions is she capable of managing that   —   she merges the past  (  order,  duty,  tradition  )  with her own vision and her own experiences,   in a way making the transition to a new era more easily accepted.    i believe margaery would find ways to incorporate different customs  (   we actually see her doing that in the show,   her crown is an amalgamation of baratheon symbolism with that of the tyrells  ),   and that makes her flexible,   and again,   not to put the show in such strong focus,   but we see this flexibility in her wardrobe  —  gossamer shawls,   but also the funnel dress,   which signals her openness to novelty and experimentation.   she’s adaptable  (   the green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm  ),   but not to the point where she’s ready to sacrifice her identity as a tyrell.

you  can  pry  this  out  of  my  cold  dead  hands  but  m.argaery  t.yrell  is  a  master  at  crafting  a  political  image  which  manipulates  the  attitude  of  the  commonfolk  in  regards  to  the  crown  ;      there’s  a  huge  rift  between  the  crown  and  the  people   &   she’s  trying  her  best  to  bridge  that  gap  in  order  to  condition  the  people�� to  associate  the  crown  with  good  acts  and  to  make  the  relationship  a  personal  one .      all  her  actions  are  calculated .     
she  gave  her  custom  to  a  dozen  different  seamstresses ,  was well-known  amongst  the  city’s  goldsmiths ,  and  had  even  been  known  to  visit  the  fish  market  by  the  mud  gate  for  a  look  at  the  day’s  catch .   [  …  ]   she  was  forever  giving  alms  to  beggars ,  buying  hot  pies  off  bakers’  carts ,  and  reining  up  to  speak  to  common  tradesmen .
do  you  know  who  else  did  that  on  their  arrival  to  king’s  landing ?  t.yrion .   my  point  is  politics  isn’t  just  about  who’s  the  most  feared ,  the  most  powerful ,  or  the  best  logician .     it’s  about  the  people .  t.yrion  &  m.argaery  create  job  opportunities  while  simultaneously  strategically  projecting  this  public  image  of  goodness  &  care  (  although  t.yrion  wasn’t  as  public  about  it  as  m.argaery  ) .     all  her  actions  convey  a  specific  message  :    you  are  seen ,   you ,  who  have  gone  unnoticed  &  unnamed  in  the  history  books  –  i  see  you ,  i  care .     &  she  does  that  not  only  through  her  actions  but  constructing  her  public  image  based  off  symbolism  very  close  to  the  people  –  from  the  Faith .     she  started  her  journey  as  the  picture  of  the  Maiden ,   and  i’d  argue  that  later  in  the  books  she’s  started  trying  to  don  the  role  of  the  Mother ,  sure ,  she  doesn’t  have  children ,  but  she  treats  the  people  of  kl  as  her  own  kin .

@azmenka​ said : “ people tend to act in ways that suit their own best interests ”
Tumblr media
“   can we truly blame the hammer for viewing everything as a nail?   ”   and so it began   :   petals of all shapes and sizes shivered below her soft touch as nimble fingers combed through the hanging branches,   leaving a contrail of pink and white in her wake.   for one moment their frames disappeared in a flowerstorm,  a shower of apple blossoms that bracketed them in a fragrant privacy of her own making,   a baptism in the heart of spring,   where innocence was restored if only for a moment.   and a moment after,   her soft brown eyes met those of blue and margaery tyrell saw her reflection marooned on a black shore engulfed by a storm-torn sea.   “   I should believe even the best and the worst of us act in ways that suit their own best interest  –  kings,   knights, knaves and cowards  –  it would be foolish to think otherwise.   ”    discipline fastened a smile upon her timid lips.    “   and yet it can also drive a man to madness,   ”    and now margaery leaned close with an almost conspiratorial  air to her movements,   sending the petals caught in her hair into a lazy spiral between them.   “   you would shudder at the stories i’ve heard.  ”

much like t. yrion,     mar.gaery  draws great inspiration from history and tries to fashion herself as an amalgamation of past successful rulers.     however there is one queen mar.gaery holds to the highest regard and whom she actually views as a role model,   and that's queen  aly.ssane tar.garyan.      following in her footsteps,    mar.gaery tries her best to establish a good raport with the common folk,   to give the crown a face  and  personality  they can associate with outside of the soulless,   absract idealisation of the title and position of ruler,   and to build a legacy that’ll succeed her,    and thus keep her family name in the records of history.
