I present to you: my female asoiaf crushes
Maisie and Rose
You may recall that even though I moved to Hawaii, a few of my excellent friends were willing to house my snakes until I move back to the mainland. Here’s an update!
Whiskey is showing signs of building follicles, which means we may FINALLY get babies out of her and find out what morph she is.
So long, sweet babies. And thanks for the poop art, Whiskey. You look so proud.
Ygritte!
As a member of the Free Folk Ygritte wears a lot of wool, fur, and hide layered together for maximum heat efficiency. (She should also probably be wearing mittens…but don’t overthink it too much. ;D

the way some of the fandom place so much weight on traditional attractiveness is insane to me like what books did you read….. people getting legit angry that the hotd actors are “too ugly” to play targs, people saying tyrion is too ugly to ride a dragon, people arguing over which pubescent girl is the prettiest like my god. I’ll be over here obsessively drawing myles’ receding hairline and bigass fucking nose leave me out of that
sorry to keep harping on this but idk it’s just such a misreading of asoiaf it blows my mind, like even besides the way these books do so much to deconstruct the idea “beauty = goodness / ugly = badness” with specific characters…… like even besides that you can just see grrm’s fondness and emphasis on finding love and beauty in the mundane and imperfect, like love in asoiaf is catelyn building a deep and solid relationship with the solemn plain-faced second son she wasn’t supposed to marry, it’s jon snow blushing when ygritte laughs with her crooked teeth and eyes that are too far apart, it’s davos trying to imagine the most beautiful woman in the world and only being able to think of his aging wife with her sagging breasts, it’s joncon mourning myles’ big nose and jug ears and how they were as much a part of him as his warmth….. it’s an important part of asoiaf to me and I find it so much more meaningful than trying to prove my fave is the prettiest
All that is gold does not glitter.
Not all those who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not wither.
Deep roots are not touched by the frost.
you know nothing, Jon Snow
