So we all know GRRM, like all authors, took a lot of inspo from real life fairy tales, religion, and mythology. There are a ton of parallels but I picked out a few to put in this poll

Propaganda: Before anyone says anything, I know a lot of these are dark spins on the original. I’m not trying to say Littlefinger is a handsome prince or whatever. Also note that some of this is based on either things that haven’t happened yet but are highly likely to happen in Winds/Dream up to and including being confirmed by GRRM.

Arya and Jaqen as Hades and Persephone-the young maiden of spring is found by the lord of the underworld, who gives her an object (in this case a coin) to trick her into being trapped in the world of the dead. When she leaves home, winter comes, but when she returns, so does spring.

Sansa as Rapunzel-a princess locked in a tower by an evil sorceress (or just queen) who is spirited away by a man who wants to marry her. Strong focus on her hair as a symbol of her identity.

The Brotherhood Without Banners as Robin Hood and his Merry Men-a band of outlaws who defend the common people against corrupt authority figures. This one is really self explanatory.

Cersei as the evil queen and Margaery/Sansa/eventually Dany as Snow White-a vain, cruel women terrified of her beauty fading and being replaced by a younger woman who outshines her, so she tries to destroy her perceived rival, ultimately leading to her own downfall. The girls in Snow Whites slot are the popular choices for the identity of the YMBQ and the one Cersei is currently convinced it is.

Jaime and Brienne as Beauty and the Beast-a double subversion. Jaime is handsome and Brienne is ugly, but when they meet she’s brave and kind while he’s selfish and cruel, so it’s the beast who helps the beauty be better.

Lyanna, Rhaegar, and Robert as Helen of Troy, Paris, and Menelaus-a beautiful woman fiercely desired by two powerful men, she either runs off with or is kidnapped by a prince, leading to her (soon to be) husband retaliating by starting a tragic war.

Stannis and Shireen as Agammemon and Iphegenia-a king and commander sacrifices his daughter to the gods to win a war. Bonus if this ends up causing Stannis’ downfall.

Lady Stoneheart as Demeter-a mother wanders the land bringing destruction and misery as she searches for her daughter(s.) When her daughters return to her, spring comes.

Cersei and Jaimes children as the emperor wearing no clothes-the emperor walks around naked insisting that he’s a wearing magic invisible outfit, but everyone is afraid to tell him the truth until finally a child points out that he’s wearing nothing at all. See: everyone pretending not to notice that Cerseis children are the result of incest with her brother, and Ned finally realizing the truth when his 11 year old daughter points out that Joffrey is nothing like Robert.

Bran as the Fisher King-the Fisher King is a character from Arthurian myth. He is the guardian of the magical holy grail, protecting it so it (and power) does not fall into the hands of the unworthy. Notably, he also has a deliberating injury to his legs or groin (depending on the version.) Of course the endgame Bran of the show is a blatant rip-off of Leto II from Children of Dune, but I think the Fisher King sounds more like GRRM would do.

Dany as Moses-a leader who has prophetic visions, who after performing a miracle, frees her people from slavery and leads them on a harsh journey to a new land. Notably regarded as a critically important figure by a monotheistic religion.

ARYA STARK AND THE GODS ❦ BOURNE FOR THE GOD OF DEATH

Thirty different gods stood along the walls, surrounded by their little lights. The Weeping Woman was the favorite of old women, Arya saw; rich men preferred the Lion of Night, poor men the Hooded Wayfarer. Soldiers lit candles to Bakkalon, the Pale Child, sailors to the Moon-Pale Maiden and the Merling King. The Stranger had his shrine as well, though hardly anyone ever came to him. Most of the time only a single candle stood flickering at his feet. The kindly man said it did not matter. "He has many faces, and many ears to hear."

The Many-Faced God, also known as Him of Many Faces, is a deity worshipped by the Faceless Men, a guild of assassins established in the Free City of Braavos. The tale of the guild's beginnings centers around a figure of unknown origins, the first Faceless Man, who heard the prayers of the slaves to their various gods of death and came to conclude they all prayed to the same god "with a hundred different faces", the Many-Faced God, and that he was "that god's instrument".

This belief came to be reflected in the Guild's temple, which has a large public sanctuary that contains idols of thirty death gods. The religious order refills its pool of black water with a poison, so that drinking from it leads to a painless death. Visiting worshippers light candles to their god, then drink from the fountain using a stone cup, then go lie in one of the alcoves. Others take advantage of special alcoves, called "dreaming couches", which have special candles that bring visions of the past, for a sweet and gentle death.

Followers of Him of Many Faces consider death to be part of the natural order of things and a merciful end to suffering. The guild will agree to kill anyone in the known world, for a price, considering this contract to be a sacrament of their god. The price is always high or dear, but within means of the person if they are willing to make the sacrifice. The cost of their services also depends on the prominence and security of the target.

The High Valyrian words associated with the cult and its assassins are valar morghulis, or "all men must die", and its traditional response, valar dohaeris, or "all men must serve". This philosophy runs deep. Members are made to forsake their identities for the service of the Many-Faced God, and may only assassinate targets they have been hired to kill. They are not allowed to choose who is worthy of the "gift" by themselves.

The most unrealistic thing about Game of Thrones isn’t the dragons or the White Walkers. It’s the fact that there are so many fine ass men in Westeros.

𝗧𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗧 𝗔𝗨- 𝗔 𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗙 𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗘

So Braavos is a city that I love a lot and I put a lot of thought into it because it’s supposed to be kind of like Venice inspired but I wanted to have more Valyrian influence ( because of the origin of the city state) on it so it’s kind of like a lot of things together. I also see it one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world of the song of ice and fire, and I don’t think that would change much because bravos even back then was one of the cities who had a freedom of religion and had a population that was very diverse definitely the place I would live in if I was in the world of ASOIAF.

WEST ESSOS. PENTOS. MYR. VOLANTIS. LYS. TYROSH. STEPSTONES. QOHOR. LORATH.

He laid a finger on her lips. “Three lives you shall have of me. No more, no less. Three and we are done. So a girl must ponder.” He kissed her hair softly. “But not too long.”

I think it’s always good to remind how different is Jaqen’s story in the books. We tend to confuse the two characters, book!Jaqen and show!Jaqen because the show had been on for so long and the missing books are nowhere to be seen.

Then I would like to write a little reminder of book!Jaqen.

Jaqen got out of the black cells with the help of Varys.

When Jaqen came to King’s Landing people involved with Robert’s Rebellion started to die in mysterious circumstances.

Jaqen first took interest in Arya when he saw her beating up Hot Pie on the way to Harrenhal.

He is very young and charming with looks and manners of an aristocrat ( Targaryen to be precise ).

He told Arya that he wanted to fight in the red war ( the Battle for Dawn )

Jaqen smiled all the way to Harrenhal (and he kept smiling when he joined the Brave Companions) as if he had had a secret.

He doesn’t speak in the third person all the time.

He kissed Arya.

He likes ginger.

He offered three lives to the Red God and made an oath by the Old Gods and all the new gods under the weirwood tree.

He looks like weirwood: he is tall and slender and his hair is half white and half red.

He speaks High Valyrian.

He loves bathing.

Jaqen protected Arya while in Harrenhal and during the fighting with the guards.

He wiped his bloodied sword in her shift so they could share the responsibility for the killings.

He wore the face of a young alchemist after Harrenhal which means he must have killed him while in King’s Landing.

Jaqen killed Balon Greyjoy and was paid with a dragon’s egg.

He came to Oldtown to steal the book about the dragon lore.

Jaqen broke the rules of the Faceless Men at least twice. The first time when he killed people for Arya and the second time when he showed her that he could change his face at will.

He is not Arya’s mentor in Braavos.

He is a skilled swordsman.

Is currently Sam Tarly’s roommate in the Citadel.

The Parallels of Περσεφονη and Princess Arya Stark

You had best run back to your room, little sister. Septa Mordane will surely be lurking. You'll be sewing all through winter. When the spring thaw comes, they will find your body with a needle still locked tight between your frozen fingers. A Game of Thrones, Arya I
