This is me and @folkwise.wisefolk.org - we will be bringing both cosplays to DragonCon, too, but we were THRILLED to do Poison Ivy cosplay in Seattle itself, got some beautiful pics, and people were constantly asking Dom about his 'flower man' cosplay

We had such a great time at #Worldcon Seattle - our 4th Worldcon, and we will be at Anaheim 2026 as well. Listened to fascinating panels (including with GRRM), saw good friends, and had many pleasant conversations. Lots of sightseeing was also had!

@historyofwesteros.com Daenys the Reamer, here with the juice of Targeryan prophecy. She produced bundles of paper recording her foretellings. Boring a hole in Valyrian history.

This episode of @historyofwesteros.com is helping me with my current WIP.

My answer, and my characters would agree: you get to be called king not when you put a crown on your head, but when you outlive all the other claimants.

As Fionn said: the problem with living history is surviving it.

right on. It's definitely a huge unknown. It's hard to fathom any one "type" of magic let alone mixing multiples.

Creepy thought huh?

Beric passed "it" to Cat, can Mel draw on "it" like she did with Stannis? Between this and "the shadows I call (at the Wall) will be great and terrible" we could be in for some unexpected arcana.
