I found it interesting that in last night’s episode of #KnightOfTheSevenKingdoms, Raymun refered to the Targaryens as aliens because in my Martian Queen series, I discussed how George heavily wrote them and their dragons to mirror the Martian invaders from #WaroftheWorlds. There is so much of it.

Based on the good working relationship Ira Parker & #GRRM described in interviews leading up to the premier of #KnightoftheSevenKingdoms, I think George must have ok’d prophecy reveal about Egg.To me, that’s more important than who the woman was. Whether she’s Maggie the Frog or BR doesn’t matter.

The source of #GRRM inspiration for #HouseTargaryen and their house words. #HOTD youtube.com/shorts/-y2Ns...

Are we meant to see the white palfrey during the jousting as Sweetfoot? #KnightoftheSevenKingdoms

The youthful childhood antics of Ashford "Queen of Love and Beauty," really reinforces that Sansa, Lyanna, and Dany are kids in the main series when everything happens to them. #KnightoftheSevenKingdoms

I liked the first episode of #KnightoftheSevenKingdoms, but I think I enjoyed episode 2 more. It was true to the novella, but I liked the little changes they made in putting Dunk behind the scene eavesdropping with the Ashford Queen of Love & Beauty thus giving up background exposition on the Targs.

Does Lyonel have a bit of Renly in him. The actor is very engaging. #KnightoftheSevenKingdoms

Well that was an opening scene. See Arlan was seriously hunged. #DunkandEgg #KnightoftheSevenKingdoms

Snowed in and not in the mood for football but needing an escape for a couple of hours from the news, now is the perfect time to catch up on the Martian Queen series where I discuss the many ways #GRRM compares House Targaryen to HG Wells' Maritans including a direct comparison to Balerion & Drogon…

The ants crawling over #DaenerysTargaryen in ADWD aren’t symbols of the Others.
In the latest #MartianQueen episode, I tell you who there are.
I also reveal the origin of the Targaryen name. And its quite the marker.

Working on episode 3 of the Martian Queen series, and had to split it into two because it was so long. However, I think that I may have discovered the origin of the Targaryen name and if so, WOWZA!

What truly powers dragonfire? Episode 2 follows #Daenerys into the Red Waste for a deeper look at the lore of #ASOIAF including Nettles true identity; what may have given #GRRM the idea for the AH/Nissa Nissa legend; and why his original plan was to make the Targs Black. #HOTD youtu.be/0mgLtXsIlVU

Hi, welcome to the Bluesky page for the new YT Channel, Ash and Ink Lore, where I'll be digging into the deep lore of #ASOIAF, #IWTV and other favorite shows and books. My first video based on an analysis of the the influence of The War of the Worlds on ASOIAF...especially on House Targaryen...
