with all the world’s graces at her command
Ned’s hands are bound when he speaks his last words to her.
“Perhaps it is you who should hold the sword,” he says.
His eyes do not leave hers until they pull him away and make him kneel.
The crowd roars when the blade comes down.
Cersei blinks. [x]

“It is the sea that comes.”
“The sea?”
“I dreamed that the sea was lapping all around Winterfell. I saw black waves crashing against the gates and towers, and then the salt water came flowing over the walls and filled the castle. Drowned men were floating in the yard.”↳ Bran V: A Clash of Kings / A Song of Ice and Fire

asoiaf challenge {x] ⇉ most moving moment [1/2]⇉ Ghost and Jon reunite.
It was a long moment before he understood what was happening. When he did, he bolted to his feet. “Ghost?” He turned toward the wood, and there he came, padding silently out of the green dusk, the breath coming warm and white from his open jaws. “Ghost!” he shouted, and the direwolf broke into a run. He was leaner than he had been, but bigger as well, and the only sound he made was the soft crunch of dead leaves beneath his paws. When he reached Jon he leapt, and they wrested amidst brown grass and long shadows as the stars came out above them. “Gods, wolf, where have you been?”
This is the only moment throughout the entire series that I actually teared up at. No, I didn’t sob or cry, but man did i have to stop collect myself. Yes, it’s a touching moment between a man-boy and his dog, but this moment was also a very pivotal for Jon Snow. This is literally the moment were Jon “kills the boy and let’s the man be born.” It’s so fitting how Ghost, his other half who had been missing finally returns in a time of need, reminding him of where he’s from and who he truly is. For three books he’s struggled to find an answer and in this moment, he finds it.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2sj10cHTn1qe3hnzo1_r1_500.png)

AN INCREDIBLY SALTY* HOUSE MARTELL FANCAST
*meant in both senses of the word“My uncle always said it was the sword in a man’s hand that determined his worth, not the one between his legs.”
ARIANNE MARTELLASOIAF fandom has a noticeable and rather unfortunate problem when it comes to fancasting the Martells - the kindest term for it being whitewashing - as well as a slightly lesser, but still infuriating habit of using the same actress over and over again for multiple dreamcast Martells. Whilst I realise that this is in itself symptomatic of a larger problem in our media - that POC actresses aren’t given half the focus nor the representation they deserve and the few that make it to world renown are the exception not the rule - it still stumps anew whenever I see it, because far from thinking there aren’t enough great actors out there who can play the Martells, I think there’s an overabundance of them. So I decided not to limit myself to just one actress in this fancast but list a few, any of whom I think, given the chance, could knock the role of Princess of Dorne out of the proverbial ballpark.

The drum beat slow and sonorous.
Two arms wriggled free, grasping, black fingers coiling around Melisandre’s straining thighs, pushing, until the whole of the shadow slid out into the world and rose taller than Davos, tall as the tunnel, towering above the boat.
She had been born a Tully, at Riverrun far to the south, on the Red Fork of the Trident.
A song of Ice and Fire - Quotes.It wasn’t fair. Sansa had everything. Sansa was two years older; maybe by the time Arya had been born, there had been nothing left. Often it felt that way. Sansa could sew and dance and sing. She wrote poetry. She knew how to dress. She played the high harp and the bells. Worse, she was beautiful. Sansa had gotten their mother’s fine high cheekbones and the thick auburn hair of the Tullys. Arya took after their lord father. Her hair was a lusterless brown, and her face was long and solemn. Jeyne used to call her Arya Horseface, and neigh whenever she came near. It hurt that the one thing Arya could do better than her sister was ride a horse. Well, that and manage a household. Sansa had never had much of a head for figures. If she did marry Prince Joff, Arya hoped for his sake that he had a good steward.
