I’m permanently locked out of my old Tumblr

I’ve lost access to my old Tumblr. Sadly, I lost the phone that had the authenticator app info for the 2FA meaning I’ve lost direct access to scarlettpeony (aka https://scarlettpeony.tumblr.com). Literally, the only way I know how to post to it now is via my Wordpress blog — so this’ll be the last post to scarlettpeony (aka https://scarlettpeony.tumblr.com).

Green Dreaming of an Underground River: Payoff coming in TWoW?

This will be an analysis of the underground river that runs through Brynden “Bloodraven” Rivers’s weirwood cave in A Song of Ice and Fire. We first officially learn of its presence when Bran, Jojen, Meera and Hodor first approach Bloodraven’s weirwood throne in A Dance with Dragons, Bran II. I will look at the river’s possible connection to Gorne’s Way and why this river might be important, not least because Jojen appears to dreamed of it all the way back in Bran’s final chapter of A Storm of Swords.

The Brandor Conundrum: Thinking about Bran’s story in ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’

Bran has always fascinated me and something that has always struck a chord with me is whether he is on the verge of becoming morally corrupt due to the influence of Bloodraven or his own choices. I understand why the debate circles around Hodor so much particularly their relationship in terms of Hodor being one of Bran’s “skins” and how they might be changing each other as a result despite the very practice being, as Haggon would tell Varamyr, “abomination”.

The Colour Blue and Young Griff’s Hair

I wished to test the fringe hypothesis of Young Griff (Aegon, sometimes referred to as f!Aegon or Faegon in the community) might be the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark in George R. R. Martin’s book series, A Song of Ice and Fire. This is by no means a popular theory though it received some traction after the video series made by ‘The Order of the Green Hand’ (TOofGH) on YouTube, a channel I myself am fond of and watch frequently. The theory itself relies heavily on what many non-believers identify as a non-sequitur. and justifiably so, that “the colour blue” is only associated with Lyanna. Having looked into the matter I reasonably dismissed this interpretation and wished to share my findings.
