It’s been a while since I’ve written in the ASOIAF fandom, but Myrcella called to me again. To anyone still following me, I’m rebooting her. You can find me at @lionessborn.

Hey guys! 

For anyone that follows me in more than one blog you’ll notice I’ve been completely silent for the past 20 or so days. For anyone who cares, I haven’t abandoned tumblr, I just haven’t been good. University is taking a toll on me. It worsened my anxiety to a level I haven’t seen before. And because I was so anxious about everything all the time, I had no energy for anything else. Even before going completely silent on tumblr, I wasn’t being quite active for that same reason. I logged in and had a hard time writing. My energy was being consumed by anxiety and I had no energy left to do something I like. I’m back on therapy due to that, which I hope will help me get better soon. With the semester ending this week, I’ll likely feel a little less anxious because of university not being there to make things worse.  I’ll have more free time too, so I’ll likely be around more.

Anyways, this is both me venting and letting anyone who cares know what is going one. It is also a psa that, well, I’m not really okay so I may disappear but I will be back once I’m feeling better. I know all my blogs have  the low activity warning in the rules, but I think it’s a good thing to let your followers know what is going on. I’m doing what I can to feel better though! I guess that’s all I meant to say. I’ll try to come back to writing, too, because it’s something I love and I think it can help, so I’ll probably be online more often for now.

      “------Lady Sansa has mentioned she has never traveled so far from Winterfell before.”  Words were simple attempt at conversation; both courtesy to break silence and wish to learn more of the one who taught the Stark daughters yet was no septa (southern standards declared it most odd, if not outrageous --- from her part, Myrcella was simply curious; had she traveled far and wide around the world? where had she learned so much? how did a woman came to occupy such position, without commitment to the Faith?). Something about her ought to be extraordinary; but princess could not voice such questions, thus sought to ask others that may lead her to know more. “Have you been to the South before, my lady?”

   To House Lannister, war brought only disgrace; the lions were left with legacy soiled and debt and blood and death. With the Queen falling from grace, so did her children. Once a princess who had all handed to her in golden platter, Myrcella is now naught but a bastard, born of a forbidden relationship and allowed to keep only her life. 

   Trying to adapt to new situation and build own life from what little she has, paths cross with the Young Wolf once again. Unaware of each other’s true identities at first, a bond is forged ------ but would it survive, were they to learn the truth?

         Between sheltering cubs of world’s relentlessness and sometimes harsh teachings on how to survive it, mother had always been most contradictory — but one could not claim her to have left them clueless on this world’s nature. Unfairness of own situation had been accepted long ago; princess had been but a child, yet the sins of others became hers to pay. She, who had fought no wars, schemed no betrayals, who had been content with her princess crown and never dared wish for brother’s seat; she, who was thrown in war nonetheless, who complied to place as mere valuable in a bargain, who left for foreign a land, promised to one she did not know, and who did so without single complain. It all mattered little and less to those who resented her family, who wished only to spill Lannister blood. No, to the world, own innocence mattered naught; kindness received was never proportional to what was deserved.

          Own fate had been accepted, time and again, as gracefully as princess could accept it, regardless of how terrifying it looked. Myrcella had taken to Dorne and to her sweet prince, things simple enough to accept; but had made amends with scars and beauty lost, as well. Had begrudgingly acquiesced to return home, and leave behind all she had grown to love, only to find the Red Keep to be home no longer. All sort of adversity, princess could adapt to; yet brother could not, and it pained her to see him suffer so.

          Mother’s words held wisdom, perhaps; none of them would find kindness in this world as they should – not even sweet Tommen, deserving of all kindness this world still possessed and much more. “True as it may be, there are ways of making things kinder to him, easier. Perhaps we cannot prevent all, but much can be changed —— and perhaps that would be enough.”

Myrcella never shed a tear, though it was she who was leaving hearth and home to seal an alliance with her maidenhood. The truth was, the princess was BRAVER than her brother, and BRIGHTER and more CONFIDENT as well. Her wits were quicker, her courtesies more polished. NOTHING EVER DAUNTED HER, not even Joffrey.

      Sunlight is pale in comparison to that of home, truth be told; yet today it shines brighter than it has during their entire stay in this land of whites and grays. Myrcella is, indeed, a child of summer: golden and radiant and full of life. Golden beauty shines particularly in such occasions, but spirits are also highlighted by sunlight — smile he earns so effortlessly with his words is just as bright as the day surrounding them. 

       But there is something deliberate in choice of clothing and arrange of golden curls that makes features noticeable; sunlight may make beauty shine brighter, but isn’t sole reason for it. No; Myrcella is a princess, and mindful of her role, but she’s also young and born to summer and heart has yet to conform with its lack of choice. It is but a childish infatuation, perhaps, and she cannot act on it — but princess can try to earn attention nonetheless, to have eyes upon her and spark interest in he who interests her. And perhaps she will; so contrasting to this land of winter, perhaps the young wolf could come to admire her warmth.

       “———— Thank you, uncle.” That all, however, Jaime would not know and she would not tell. Fond of her family as Myrcella was, such things were to be treasured secrets; and were they not, uncle Jaime wasn’t particularly constant a presence in her life to have her entrust him with personal feelings. High spirits are most noticeable, though (action might be beyond her reach, but whispers are of betrothal between the wolf and the stag, and there was hope of being blessed with heart’s desire). “It is most lovely a day, wouldn’t you agree? I would not have thought that the sun would shine so brightly this far North.”

Westworld S02E01 Sentence Starters

Dreams don’t mean anything, (…). They’re just noise. They’re not real. That answer doesn’t seem to satisfy you. I’m frightened of what you might become – of the path you might take. There’s beauty in what we are. Tell me this is some sick trick! You’re in my dream. Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality? These violent delights have violent ends. Under all these lives I’ve lived, something else has been growing. I’ve evolved into something new and I have one last role to play. The greatest shame in life is to perish without purpose. Your commands don’t work on me. I’m afraid that it’s in my code to prize my needs above others’. My dreams, my thoughts, my body. Are they not real? You’ll never survive like that. The sun sure is shining down on you today. I don’t think the odds are going to be in our favour. My question for you is: what’s next? Have you achieved what you wanted? Don’t worry. The game will find you. They never gave us a choice before, (…). What makes you think they’ll give us one now? But now, I remember everything. I remember beautiful things, and terrible things, but one thing’s constant. There’s a greater world out there. How do you know how to stop them? I see it all now, so clearly. It ends with you, and me. I need you to see the truth. The longer we wait, the more people will die. I killed them. All of them.
