Valyrian languages

She was dumped both romantically and politically.

And she witnessed Rhaenyra's ranting, raving, bizarre speech about her Valyrian prophesied supremacy.

Don't you hate it when you have a one night stand and then the next day you see your fuck buddy up on the steps of the Vatican proclaiming that they're the chosen one in a language most people don't understand?

Yeah, it does make you question some things when your one night stand starts gibbering about aliens in the north the morning after you just had sex for the

What's new in the tapestry?

So there's an image in the tapestry that's been building up for a while of Rhaenyra and her counselors before her dragon Syrax.

I really fucking wish her dragon Syrax was present at her big Valyrian speech.

True, that would have rocked.

What? I never left, don't doubt me, friend.

My tongue sharper, Valyrian.

Put pen to paper, line Shakespearean.

I leave a raver delirious.

Muscled like a maiden's fantasy, you know? Yeah.

So Cersei is in disbelief at Tyrion's entrance and Tyrion pauses to admire the pair of Valyrian sphinxes that guard the door.

Cersei asks why he's here and he completes his quest, delivering his father's message.

Varys takes a letter looking at the seal and determining if it's genuine and Cersei snatches it from him and is like, of course it's real and reads it.

Fun little, I just love every bit.

We could dissect this till like the cows come home.

I love the Valyrian sphinxes.

That felt fun.

That does sound nice.

A bit of Valyrian steel.

Yeah.

In fact, I don't want any tax now.

Resistance is futile.

Garyn Pike, Wielder of Grave Embrace, a Valyrian steel axe, and Captain of the Iron Wave.

Iron's kiss is eternal.

Kyren Kolsbane, Captain of the Stone Shields.

At the very least, he was closer to him personally than the other conspirators, and that says a lot.

So if Daemon were Aegon the Conqueror, Aegor was his Orys.

Orys and Aegon shared a father, one fully Valyrian, the other half.

Orys had black hair just like Aegor.

They got experts in, uh, religion and, uh, uh, uh, uh, ancient technologies and languages.

Uh, they've had the, the, the guy that invented the Dothraki and the Valyrian language as a, a...

It, it's, it's a great show, and if you like this kinda stuff that we're doing here, this kinda close reading book to show, I think you'll love that as well.

We also get the Melisandre scene from the trailer.

And what I liked about this scene was that Missandei corrects Daenerys and she says, actually, prince that was promised could also mean prince or princess because Valyrian is gender neutral.

And Melisandre basically tells Daenerys what we knew she was going to tell her, which is that she needs to basically hook up with Jon because she needs Jon to fight the Great War, which is to come.

So Tyrion vouches for Jon Snow because he knew Jon Snow back in season one, and Daenerys is like, okay, he can come, but she makes it clear that he must bend the knee.

Viserion lets out a cry, half grief, half rage, and descends with his mouth open to unleash fire.

On the cliffs, Melisandre chants in high Valyrian.

The wind swirls unnaturally.

Her eyes go black as the men light a fire around the ground where Drogon and Daenerys lie.

Yeah.

I love the high Valerian from this scene, though.

This is your test.

Now.

Well, she's definitely talking about her husband there, right? But her husband's her uncle.

That's her blood too.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if she was talking about her Valerian blood.

No, I think she meant Damon.
