You Should See Me In A Crown

i'm obssesed and deranged

i have existed for years

but very little has changed

i'm the tool of the government

and industry too

for I am destined to rule

and regulate you

THE RAT AND HIS BIRD

Shen

⚔️— if they could wield any valyrian steel sword throughout history, what would it be and why? ⚖️ — how are they remembered by history? are they loved, reviled, or something in between? is there anything the history books omit from their life?

i answered this one here

⚖️ — how are they remembered by history? are they loved, reviled, or something in between? is there anything the history books omit from their life?

the way he is perceived heavily depends on who is talking? i think the historical books biased by the greens talk about his victories and his greater characteristic, touching on his closeness to aegon. he would be painted the way achilles is by many historians.

Mei

🏰 — if your oc could make their own house from the ground up, what would they name it? what would their words be? 🐦‍⬛— does your oc have any magical abilities? do they believe in the occult or do they think it’s just stories and old tales?

ok this one took time... mei loves the stars and moon (a fondness she developed after viserys gifted her a telescope for her 7th name day), so something with an eclipse as her sigil. it would be a nice tie between that fondness and her sun motif. she would name it House Vesperis. The evening star is Hesperus (the Roman equivalent is Vesper) + a vesper is an evening prayer.

Her house words would be "we await the dawn'

🐉 — if your oc could have ridden any historical desgon, which would it be and why?

For Shen

i think for him, the logical answer is blackfyre. there is that connection with the targaryens, but also the historical power behind the sword. also, he is a little (very) petty about not being heir anymore, and the wielder of blackfyre tends to be the heir of their house.

because we are talking about valyrian steel swords, i think its appropriate to introduce house lui's valyrian sword: Dawn (YES. the dayne dawn. there is lore behind the sword). the sword was a welcoming gift from YiTi to the Targaryens, but after meihua's death, viserys sent the sword back to paradise.

ASOIAF OC WEEK: DAY 3— RELATIONSHIP!

HOUSE REDWYNE | WATER THE VINE

👑 — how would your oc rule if they sat the iron throne? what would their small council look like?

- for Mei?

🐉 — if your oc could have ridden any historical desgon, which would it be and why?

i've already discussed this here before, but Mei would 100% ride Vermithor, but the pairing makes far too much sense to me. There's something wonderfully contradictory about my girl being bonded to an enormous, angry dragon.

👑 — how would your oc rule if they sat the iron throne? what would their small council look like?

i think she would be a good ruler. she has ruled as regent for a time being during aether's reign and took an almost queenly rule when viserys was ill (considering her strong pull over him).

Hand of the Queen: Cedryk. In No Hymn, she picks him as her son's hand too, so it is not out of hand (pun intended) for her to choose him.

Grand Maester: Lysander Costayne (a recent oc I made an hotd one instead).

Master of Coin: Lorena Corbay

Master of Laws: Coren Lui

Master of Ships: Lyam Redwyne

Master of Whispers: Larys Strong (he is not leaving her)

Master of War: Shen Lui

For Mei

⏳ — if you had to place them in any other era of westeros, what would it be and why?

Mei yearns for a reign and time of peace, so the time period of akotsk comes first to mind. I think she would thrive in that era in all honesty. There are the Blackfyre Rebellion and its consequences looming over the heads of everyone, but no one is at constant fighting for the throne. Also, she is a lover of tourneys, and akotsk s1 revolves around it, so I think she would vibe there.

Now that I am thinking about it, she might be married off to Valarr in the same sense she was married to Aegon, aka the heirs, although this marriage def has more love to it than Meigon's.

— if they studied at the citadel, what links would they forge? do they like learning?

hehe this ask is so perfect for her considering i'm reworking her iron islands time to be citadel or oldtown based instead (due to plot points).

wanted to do smth fun for all of my asoiaf oc mutuals and thought this was a cool idea! much thanks to @idanthrene and @robnikmeria for their help with the questions (and for giving me the courage to post!)
