Happy Mother of Dragons Day? Resurrected Post.
May 12, 2019 Happy Mother of Dragons Day? Mother’s Day in Westeros must be a depressing affair. Think about it: do any of the mothers in A Song of Ice and Fire fare well? Let’s see, shall we?

The familiar, quotidian view out your window becomes something altogether new and different after even a moderate snowfall. It’s not all wondrous fairyscapes: the roadside landscape, with its new allotment of crashed and disable cars is a reminder… Continue reading The White Hills of Elfland. Resurrected Post.
