Jimmy Cliff left us today 💔 Our patrons have the honour (probably) of being able to reminisce him when listening to Virginie sing one of his songs (and not entirely butcher it) on our latest bonus episode RIP king

I am incapable of not relating every political thing to Game of Thrones, and I apologize for that, but three whistle blasts for ICE is such a perfect analog to the three horn blasts Night Watch alert for the icy Others/White Walkers. 📯📯📯❄️👿❄️

Look at this perfect angel

Very good points made below

Daario Naharis: “challenge accepted” and dresses in gold and blue

And loyal Art by @sanrixian.bsky.social

I know Mance is deceived as pretty plain, but a guy’s politics can definitely increase his sexiness. So I’m gonna go with Mance.

We love to see it 🔥

Important question time: Who is the sexiest male character in ASOIAF?

Want to hear me try to summarise the French Revolution in 20 minutes? Or perhaps say the word “kings” when I meant “pigs” in a sentence about them being no longer welcome on the streets? Well, wait no more!

Join us as we follow up on our ep from last year, and talk about political deaths. 🩸 Turns out sometimes when people don’t like their leaders, they decide to do something about it! ⚔️ We cover real life events + their parallels to The Hour of the Wolf, Jon’s 🗡️ etc. www.podbean.com/ew/pb-k6fgi-...

If you ever get frustrated with Jon while reading ADWD (sending away allies, ignoring warnings from Mel)… Wait until you hear about the king who gets warned abt a conspiracy, yet throws a masquerade ball. And right before the ball gets a letter warning him abt an attack, yet ignores it. And… 🎭🔪

Lovely that @notacast.bsky.social is getting to the part of Arya’s story where she hangs out at our namesake! ⚓️

I’m not sure whether to call him a prince or a king, so I do both. Because I’m confused like that (and history is complex and I’m not sure what’s the modern take on how to refer to a prince that’s already been crowned king while his dad is still alive and reigning) (yes, that very much was a thing)

We also talk about murder most foul… 🔪🎭

We recorded an episode today. The story behind this scene is described and I’m sure you can see why. No? That’s ok. Really, it gets the briefest mention and that’s sad because how many times did a pig kill a prince/ king??? Also, it’s very pretty so we had to share it!

We love to see him this happy! Yay to happiness!!

Met @virginie.bsky.social and started @ragmanspod.bsky.social !

WE'RE BACK! Our Patreon supporters can now hear our beautiful voices again, talking about the Lord of the Rings that, if you don't know, we're reading (in Virginie's case, for the first time) for our bonus episodes. Thanks everyone for your patience in September 💜 www.patreon.com/posts/140765...

Now this, this is exciting

Working on getting my account back but follow me here for now. Proof of identity

Oh I love this concept!

Thrilled to be approved for NYCC press - we will be attending the panel for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and the GRRM spotlight, among other fun panels and events! Let us know if you'll be attending! We will have HoW stickers for anyone who says hi.

Might be my favorite art & episode combo! #TheNorthRemembers

I am even more sorry than Too-ticki, our manager, on this image, but on the upside I’m now the recipient of a Master’s Degree in Intercultural Mediation & Translation from the Sorbonne and I guess that was a legit reason why burning out the past two weeks…

Hi everyone, we're sorry to let you know that both the patreon episode and our regular episode for this month we'll be slightly delayed. Life (in the form of work, studies, and colds) have been kicking our asses a bit. But things should be looking up soon, so then we'll return to the Harbour!

Today, be mad with us at how Disney treats icons:

Unbelievable: Ariel’s dad is called King Triton. How is that even a name?? I’m this 🤏 close from calling Wyman Manderly Lord King Triton from now on (feel free to listen to our episodes on semiotics and that on Wyman to hear that yes, the Little Mermaid’s dad is on House Manderly’s blazon)

@virginie.bsky.social -"Today is international hobbit day. Does that mean we all get second breakfast? @lothelynx.bsky.social -I think so yes” A good day!

The 19th century has so much to answer for… can’t wait to check out these exhibitions and report (nothing like dunking on the 19th century to make my day)

The latest episode of @radiowesteros.com with @ladygwyn.bsky.social and @davosfingers.bsky.social’s Scad is an absolute delight! They cover one of Scad’s favourite chapters (Arya XIII ASOS), featuring the best bar brawl ever. Also, different aspects of mercy and trauma response. It’s fantastic 💜

Anyway! It's George railroad Martin's birthday! 🎉🎂🎁 His books entertained me, made me think, inspired me as an artist, gave me a (past) job and most of all made me meet some amazing people ❤️

A very happy birthday to George RR Martin! Thanks to him, we have had hours upon hours of conversations and analysis and will have many more 💜 More importantly, thanks to him we have made friends all over the world (and we’ve gone to Ohio!!) for which we are forever grateful ❤️ Many happy returns 💝

We’re very disappointed to read that Kit Harington (+ other actors whose work we’ve enjoyed) are joining this project. JKR has been very clear in her racism and transphobia for years, and has recently said she’ll use revenue from HP to fund organising against trans rights. bsky.app/profile/hlee...

Most of Europe also still knows exactly where those borders are. Bavaria isn't "German" in the way that Berlin is "German". Augsburg isn't "Bavarian" in the way that Munich is "Bavarian". Americans who cling to the nationalism of a Europe they've never visited exhaust me.

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.

Look who’s heeeeere 🥹

I mean, cannibalism and murder aren’t grey by any stretch, but it is fascinating to think on what we are morally elastic with when it’s “our side.” When The Bad has been running downhill against The Good for so long that when things go else-wise, the lengths we’ll go to rationalize it.

Am I the potato who spoke this wisely? You can't prove it. But, we talk a lot about fatphobia in the episode, how he uses it to his advantage, and how we still cheer him on when he's objectively terrible because of the side he's on: the side the author wants us to be on. The good guys.

We discuss ethics in very firm terms on our latest episode

We've talked a few times (especially in our episodes on folklore) of the attempts by the far right to weaponise local traditions. This 🧵 (+ the thread embedded in it) is all about one far right billionaire's attempt to monopolise local celebrations, and how some (many, but not all) of them resist

One of your hosts is going to the 20th anniversary weekend of the French ASOIAF fandom association @lagardedenuit.bsky.social in October! Exciting!! She has no idea what cosplay (or character binding) to prepare and bring though… Ideas? Please 🙇🏻‍♀️
