Welcome!!!

You are chased out of your village the moment your powers bloom at fifteen years old, and the skies turn black with your fear. A rock hits you between your shoulder blades just as you make it to the main road and you stumble, falling to your knees in a mud puddle at the very moment the skies open up.

“She’s cursing us!” the midwife who delivered you screams over the thunder. “She’s damning us with her!”

Your mother is crying, but she doesn’t raise a hand to help you. She did everything she could, keeping your Role a secret all these years. She won’t risk anymore with another little girl to take care of.

No one tells you that you have a choice. No kind stranger drags you out of the rain and into the warmth of their home where a wise sage tells you it is not how we are born, but what choices we make.

Instead, you take the little pack your mother hid for you in the depths of the forest and sling it over your shoulder. There’s money, provisions, and more wraps to cover the evil mark on your left bicep.

“Your destiny will find you,” your mother told you only hours ago. “I forgive you for it.”

She meant the words as a comfort, but you only heard condemnation in it. Without having killed so much as a fly, she is already blessing you with forgiveness.

Most agree it’s Season 8.

But as a GoT fan who’s also a card reader, I believe it’s this trash of a tarot deck.

(Photo source)

The show is known for its countless interesting characters. Yet somehow, the author of this abomination decided to use Jon, Dany and Sansa a million times, while pretending that a freaking Son of the Harpy is more important than Robb, Catelyn, Stannis, Gendry, Davos, Bronn or Tywin.

Many GoT fans turned to fan fiction to fix their Season 8 frustrations, and I guess I’ll simply have to do the same.

THIS is how it should have been…

The Fool: Bran Stark

Not Tyrion. At the beginning of the story, after his fall, Bran went on an exciting but dangerous journey of both body and soul to become the Three-Eyed Raven. It even culminated in him being King. That’s The Fool’s Journey completed.

The Magician: Tyrion Lannister

Not Littlefinger. Only when reversed is The Magician a trickster. Upright, he uses the power of his mind to manifest good things not only for himself but for others. That’s exactly what Tyrion tried and sometimes succeeded to do.

The High Priestess: Melisandre

The author got that one right, thank Gandalf. Mel made wrong (severely wrong) interpretations of her visions, but redeemed herself at the last minute. We watched her grow from a flawed oracle to The High Priestess.

Regently I have been reading ‘The Green Witch’  by  Arin Murphy-Hiscock and I have found a really good and detailed list in it about all kind of herb, flowers, plants,trees and spices’s nature and I thought it may be useful for other ones too. 

I tried to categorize all the information, but as you can see there are ones which could be placed in more than one category. So I put these in just one category.

ok so if everythings normal, your phone camera should have a manual mode (sometimes called pro mode). in it, change the settings of the shutter lag to 20 seconds, then put the phone down on some stable, plane surface and press the photo button (usually when using your camera, the volume buttons can be used as photo button) and let the phone still for the whole 20 seconds. 

Additionally, adjust your ISO to the highest number (mimics the film used for very low light and low speed images)

And set your shutter speed to the longest time possible (on my phone it’s 10 seconds).

Leave your focus settings on Auto, and if your phone camera has a timer option, turn that on (five seconds is generally enough).

Plan your shot first, then find a place to set your phone down so you can get the image you want. The less light pollution, the better; you’ll pick up FAR more stars in your picture.

Once you know what you want to shoot, tap your screen to “focus” it, then hit the button to take the picture, set your phone down, and back away from the “tripod”. Don’t touch your phone for a good 15 seconds, just to be sure.

You will not be disappointed in the results, let me assure you.

Not even a little bit.

I see this is similar to the events of trespasser, the wolf takes your hand. Of course, minus the binding of Solas but in terms of the ‘wolf’ taking your hand.
