Hi! Just joined the sub. Someone explain this to me, please.

I’m a deep sleeper and I dream a lot. Whenever I wake up from a dream/nightmare I still see them before they fully fade away. I don’t know if that makes sense. The closest example I could compare it with is like when the blinds of your room are opened all of a sudden, then the projected images from your projector get kinda faded and blurry. But it only lasts for a good 2-3 seconds.

It’s a weird and fascinating feeling. I don’t know what it’s called. How does this happen?

Assuming Aegon’s dream/prophesy about the Song of Ice and Fire is canon, wouldn’t it make sense to ensure Aenys, Maegor, or any of his other descendants marry into the Starks? Like I kinda find it hard to wrap my head around the idea that kings like Aegon and Jaehaerys knew about it and didn’t think of this.

Edit: Idk why this sounds snarky. I could’ve worded it better, but istg I’m genuinely asking.

Like bro just sleep no one’s stopping you 😭

It currently has over 150 million streams on Spotify so it’s not a flop flop, but why is it not resonating with the general public when TO MEEE it’s the best song in their discography so far? Oh the songs we could’ve had if we made MIA a hit.

I'm writing a fic from the POV of the KotK and I've got some questions.

1. Are Kingsguards allowed to send ravens to their friends and families?

I know Kingsguards are forbidden to marry, have children, and hold lands. But what of their families and friends before joining the Kingsguard, are they expected to just forget about them and never communicate with them ever again?

2. Are royal children assigned Kingsguards to bodyguard them?

Like Rhaenyra-Criston and AegonII-Arryk (IIRC). What if the king had more than 7 children. Do they take turns? Do they follow some schedule? Or do they get sworn protectors who are not Kingsguards like the Hound to Joffrey?

3. Can there be more than 7 Kingsguards?

In canon, Joffrey appointed the Hound to the Kingsguard to replace Selmy despite him not being a knight. Let’s say the Hound wanted to be knighted, and Joffrey wished to keep him as his personal sworn protector, but there was no knight to replace. Could Joffrey legally have 8 Kingsguards?

4. If a king dies by suicide, would his Kingsguard be executed for failing to protect and save him from himself? Suicide is technically violence against oneself, and the Kingsguard are expected to die when the king dies from violence.

5. What if they tried to save the king, but the king used his authority to stop them? Would they still be killed?

I'm confused. Canonically (both show and book) he is considered lowborn, but he's the son of the unnamed steward of House Dondarrion, and House Cole is a minor house nestled in the Dornish Marches of the Stormlands. Doesn't this make him highborn?

I hate the “they hate each other” discourse so much. How old are you people? Genuinely asking because this is concerning. I’m concerned for y’alls interpersonal relationships.

I can never get on board with this thinking because I know they’re more nuanced and complex than that. Do they fight every now and then? Sure. Do they favor one member over another? Probably. Do they get on each other’s nerves sometimes? Oh, I’m sure. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they hate each other to the core.

They’re pop stars yes but they’re human too. How many times do the girls have to say they love each other and are bonded (for better or for worse) by this forever before you get it?

Edit: Muting this now before they come for me 🏃🏻

I’m looking for fiction books filled with soap opera-levels of piping hot tea! I want to know who’s cheating on whom, who’s sleeping with whom, who murdered whom, who’s getting divorced, who’s in debt, and all that. I want all the drama and scandal!

Edit: Preferably with multiple POVs.
