This is mostly me rambling a lot and trying to sort out my thoughts on my beloved messed up Greyjoy before I don't see him in the books for a while.

A lot of fannish meta has been written about Theon Greyjoy.  And why not?  He's the boy torn between the Starks and the Greyjoys, the boy who doesn't belong, who makes terrible choices and brings his ( Read more... )

In honor of the season finale of Game of Thrones, I let Rae do my nails. Those of you who know me in real life know that I am don't wear nail polish very often at all. But today is special. So, I have a Greyjoy hand and a Lannister hand now, and when we get back to the house I may have her paint my toenails Stark grey and black.

I came up with these very quickly, so I'm willing (in fact, eager) to hear what other people think about these, and about characters who aren't on the list yet.

So I'm collecting a massive bookmarks folder full of fun Game of Thrones links... and I thought I'd share.

A friend pointed me to the April Fool's Foxtrot Strip, which you should really click on if you're a fan of My Little Pony, Game of Thrones, or both.

Next, we've got a really insightful episode review of 2x01 from Rolling Stone.  Well- ( Read more... )

See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a ( Read more... )

So a while back, I mentioned that my love for the Starks in A Song of Ice and Fire was such that I wanted our very small half-chihuahua, half-Italian-Greyhound to have a sweater that said "My other dog is a Dire Wolf."

Well... a friend of mine with a lot of artsy-craftsy knowledge made me one.

Winter is coming, and our dog is ready.
