A POV chapter episode! Fun fact - listening to our breakdown of Rhaenyra getting things done will help you get things done too. #productive

I doubt we're getting a full Hour of the Wolf in s4 of #houseofthedragon but we might get something like Ten Minutes of the Wolf.

Fresh off his victory at King's Landing, Daemon takes on the entire Hightower army alone

“Bitchfist” is actually the name of the ship, it’s a common misconception, *I* am Bitchfist’s Monster 👹

Podcast version (with video available) of our episode 1 review is up! Sean returns to discuss and dive deeper than a man wearing too much kit in the drink. #houseofthedragon #hotd

Our review of the Final #hotd trailer is up with a full season preview!

Legend says Serwyn of the Mirror Shield got close to the dragon Urrax by showing the dragon its own reflection. GRRM had Ser Byron Swann try to repeat this trick during the Dance of the Dragons. House Swann's heraldry is two swans facing each other... like a mirror.

Fun daily (free) game that names a location in Westeros. You click the spot where that location is on the map. Closer you are, more points you get. See if you can beat my score of 965 on today's (5 questions), and tell me if you do!

Sometimes the most unassuming artefacts are utterly incredible! Take this piece of wood … It is a spear point worked from yew about 420,000 years ago! 🤯 Known as the ‘Clacton Spear’ it is the world’s oldest known preserved wooden spear! Natural History Museum, London 📷 by me #Archaeology

There are two Valyrian steel blades in this shot(!) - Vigilance and Orphan-Maker. The former is wielded by Lord Ormund Hightower (James Norton). The latter is wielded by Bold Jon Roxton (Joplin Sibtain, who was Brasso on Andor). #houseofthedragon #hotd

So honored and thrilled to be nominated for a Hugo Award - see y'all in August at Worldcon! 🎉🎉🎉

Book Baelor Breakspear's Birth and Beyond:

"A green silk plume trailed from Daeron's helm" - a closer look at Daeron Targaryen's armor, with canon accurate green silk plume, from the BTS. #AKOTSK #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms

i knew it was going to happen and still wasn't prepared #baelortargaryen #maekartargaryen #AKOTSK #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms

How does he get his mustache like that? A honeycomb.

Alys With Three Fingers Verse 1: Ohhhh Alys was a special lass, born bereft a' thumb Lost a digit tending flock now feeling awfully glum Chorus: Ohhh Alys with three fingers, a copper in her glass! Had two fingers less than most, she’ll shove them up your arse! HEY (cont'd)

These lyrics 😆 Prince Baelor was the firstborn Prince Maekar sprang out last Daemon was the bastard so they kicked his bastard... grass is green in summer green grass I adore But grass is red all over when you kill a rebel... (cont'd)

I enjoyed ep2 showcasing various types of confidence: Maekar - angry confidence Baelor - serene Aerion - arrogant Kingsguard - skill at arms, fame Steely Pate - sense of self, no BS Ser Lyonel - has seen it all Ser Arlan - uhhh well endowed Dunk - humble Egg - precocious Tanselle - stage presence

Grateful! 🙌🏽 Sharing this with my co-author Leigh Bardugo. Congratulations to all of today’s @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social YMA Awards and my fellow #PuraBelpre Recipients! #Caldecott #ALA #YMA

Ser Arlan of Pennytree? More like Ser Arlan of Penistree, damn. #AKOTSK #AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms

Catch our 28 min preview for episode 2 "Hard Salt Beef" here or on pod platforms!

Love that #AKOTSK trailer - this shot has Valarr Targaryen, do y'all think the woman beside him is Kiera of Tyrosh?? 👀

Love you guys so much! @historyofwesteros.com

@historyofwesteros.com we orcs have become aware that this day is the anniversary of your creation via fell sorcery (we assume fell sorcery was involved but that is just because that is the orcish personal experience - we don’t understand this “birth” talk) We hope that you are celebrated this day!

@historyofwesteros.com HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AZIZ!!!! 🎉🥳

@historyofwesteros.com I loved this latest episode on parallels between ASOIAF and Ancient Greece! Please keep ‘em coming! (I know: very surprising from someone who has a podcast about parallels between real life and asoiaf) (so unexpected)

George is looking great in his vest and hat and clearly enjoying yapping about comics and other influences. #asoiaf #grrm #nycc

At the front of the very full queue for the Spotlight on #GRRM panel! Say hi for HoW stickers! #asoiaf

They asked a question from @ashaya.historyofwesteros.com - but it was Dexter's answer to Visouner that had me d'awwwwing. #AKOTSK #NYCC

At the panel for #KnightoftheSevenKingdoms and they gave out posters!! So excited for this trailer. @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social

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.

Our friend Hannah from Game of Owns cosplayed #TanselleTooTall and absolutely nailed it! #AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms #DunkandEgg #DragonCon

Aziz cosplayed Baelor the Blessed at #DragonCon TWOIAF shoot this year! Baelor would disapprove of just about everything at the con. #asoiaf

Attended #DragonCon 2025 cosplaying Oscar Tully and met Aegon the Magnanimous, what an honor. #TWOIAF #HOTD #AegonII #MuppetTullys

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.

For sale: baby shoes. So fuckin worn. This baby ran everywhere fast as shit

New episode! Join your hosts and guest @szegfu.bsky.social as we discuss one of GRRM’s favourite topics: food! We discuss having to adapt to a new food culture, food of the North(s), spices in medieval Europe, how to recreate Joffrey's wedding feast, and more! www.podbean.com/ew/pb-kcwt8-...

in my struggle to rest lately I’ve been going thru the backlog of @historyofwesteros.com We all know they are one of the best in the fandom but this war of the nine penny kings breakdown from them is above and beyond the best & the deepest dive available 4 the topic www.youtube.com/live/ktMCzKd...

Just as House of the Dragon Season 3 shooting gets underway, David and Ryan are joined by Waldo Mason, lead make-up special effects artist on the show across seasons 2 and 3! youtu.be/N5BbvzCSAzU?...

A weird question that came to mind: assuming Melisandre raises Jon from the dead... will she still try to make a shadow baby with him?

I wrote a breakdown of the original story here: youtu.be/ZbRmo2WYdYw?...

King Aerys II Targaryen slays with his baddie nails, from today's episode "My Champion is Fire"

I haven't watched the new animated Witcher movie "Sirens of the Deep" yet - planning on it soon. It is based on "A Little Sacrifice" which is a fantastic short story. Fun to learn that it stars Emily Carey (young Alicent) as the voice of Sh'eenaz!

Ryan Condal convinced HBO to donate a Daemon Targaryen costume to a Propstore auction raising money for the IATSE crew members affected by the LA Wildfires. It's the first prop to be officially released by #HOTD! You can see high res photos here: propstoreauction.com/lot-details/...

Game of Thrones actor Rory McCann has been cast as Baylan Skoll in Ahsoka season 2, taking over the role from the late Ray Stevenson

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is soljagon “to steer”. It covers any vehicle, but it was created with boats in mind, which is why most of the derivations have to do with sailing. #conlang #language #highvalyrian #hotd #houseofthedragon #asoiaf #got #gameofthrones
