“Here lies a toppled god—

His fall was not a small one.

We did but build his pedestal,

A narrow and a tall one.”

P.S. this is why i love tg. you can mix and match characters and still end up with some of the most juicy, fucked up, sickeningly doomed family dynamics known to man

when i look at her, there's only one question in my head, will she grieve for me as much as I grieve for my child?

House Hightower of Oldtown

"The Hightowers are an ancient family, very rich and very proud." (A Clash of Kings)

Their words are We Light the Way.

The Lords of Oldtown wield the ancestral valyrian steel sword Vigilance and assume several honorific titles like Defender of the Citadel, Voice of Oldtown & Beacon of the South.

"The arms of House Hightower show a stepped white tower crowned with fire on a smoke-grey field."

When they go to war, the great beacon atop the High Tower glows a baleful green.

so what do y’all know about dodge mason

i've come to realize there are only two kinds of tragedies: preventable and inevitable. preventable tragedies are the kind where everything could have maybe worked out if only. if only romeo had gotten the second letter. if only juliet had woken up earlier. if only creon had changed his mind about antigone sooner. if only orpheus hadn't turned around.

inevitable tragedies are the kind where everything was always going to end terribly. of course macbeth gets deposed, he murdered his way to the throne. of course oedipus goes mad, he married his own mother. of course achilles dies in the war, he had to fulfill the prophecy in order to avenge his lover.

both kinds have their merits. the first is more emotionally impactful, letting the audience cling to hope until the very end, when it's snatched away all at once leaving nothing but a void. the second is more thematically resonant, tracking an inherent fatal flaw in its hero to a natural and understandable conclusion, making it abundantly clear why everything has to happen the way it does.
