I Know That Naerys' Style Can Be Summed Up As "Less Is More", But I Think It Was A Good Symbolism Of

I know that Naerys' style can be summed up as "Less is More", but I think it was a good symbolism of how she was forced to live a life that not only was not for her but she never wanted it, I think she was always adequate to be a septa, the birth was a danger for her, besides that her husband was an abusive monster and it does not seem that he has done much as queen but it was impossible to influence the politics of the seven kingdoms much if your husband is Aegon the unworthy, but I feel that would show how Viserys was so disconnected from his own children that he didn't really know them, he married his fragile daughter to the son that he knew was a womanizer and that he mistreated her already at that time and allowed his other much more noble son join in an order that requires celibacy and relinquish his right of succession rather than force Aegon the Unworthy to do such a thing and make Aemon his heir; and he might also want to make Naerys happy by giving her something that he considers beautiful based on the tastes of other women close to him (Rhaenyra, Rhaena and Daenaera) but not his own daughter. Anyway your interpretation is beautiful, it's a quite suitable silent luxury dress for Naerys.

Hello I know this question is very silly but come on do you think Naerys was allowed to choose her wedding dress which is possibly simple and white or Viserys decided to be a shitty father again and not let her or decide what to wear in the worst day of her life, and made her wear something extravagant like purple dress with gold embroidery, pearls and Myr lace or something, accompanied by a crown and jewels to demonstrate the power of the iron throne and because she didn't want her daughter to show off like a septa?

Hey this is not a silly question at all! Honestly I’ve seen some pretty neat interpretations of Naerys’ outfits in general, but I have to admit I do find interpretations of her wedding gown to be pretty interesting! While it would be nice if she at least got a say in what she’d wear for one of the worst days of her life, I’m pretty inclined to believe that she unfortunately got no say because… Well, it’s one of the worst days of her life, she didn’t exactly have anything to look forward to. Though I doubt Viserys comissioned a dress with the express purpose of making his daughter miserable, I think it was more something along the lines of him… Just not knowing her all that well.

In my own previous art piece I definitely tried to push that interpretation a little bit. Overall, the dress is decently simple- a white satin gown with a cream coloured underdress- they’re simple, pretty light colours that I’m sure Naerys dressed in a lot during her childhood. But the rest of her gown is where it derails from what was likely her personal style: There’s gold lining everywhere, heavily embroidered with grandiose symbols of the seven and dragons and topped with pearls and light yellow silk- it’s Naerys yeah, but in the most superficial way one could imagine her. Not saying that those things are bad! But I don’t think dressing to that level of extravagance is really what Naerys herself would like going off her canon descriptions.

In any case that is just my interpretation of things! As always feel free to form your own opinion, and none of this is really canon to the books!

“To make a long story short, six hours after they met, her ladyship was in love.”

Barry Lyndon (1975) dir. Stanley Kubrick

I am the only one who thinks that Coryo would be the type of boyfriend who checks your cell phone when you turn around, he goes crazy when you don't send him your location, he needs to know even when you eat, he would try to have the passwords of your social networks and he is even jealous from the sun because it warms you up. In short, it's good that Lucy Gray is poor because if she had a telephone she would be a means of controlling Coriolanus.

“To make a long story short, six hours after they met, her ladyship was in love.”

Barry Lyndon (1975) dir. Stanley Kubrick

Would Ciri really let fake Ciri and Emhyr continue to trick Cintra?

I know many think that Ciri prefers to be a witcheress, it makes sense she never shows interest in recovering her kingdom, not because she doesn't care about the fate of her homeland but because the amount of trauma and persecution she faces doesn't give her time or mental clarity to think carefully what to do, Ciri is a girl who has been constantly dragged by the tide of events and decisions that others make for her. But what would happen if, after healing emotionally and managing to control her power, she decides that she wants to recover her crown? What will she do? What will happen when, upon arriving in Cintra, he sees a false Ciri? When they tell him that a girl who pretended to be her married the guy who invaded his country and caused the death of his family? And if he discovers the real reason for the invasion of Cintra because her own father valued what a piece of paper and the words of a dishonest magician said more than the well-being of his daughter?

It would be a disaster and I don't think like many that Ciri is just going to turn around and never come back, she's going to be furious with Emhyr and she's going to want revenge, I remind you of Ciri's time with the rats, she's no stranger to spilling blood because it is upset, although I got over that phase seeing your biological father who tried to rape you to engender the king of the world living a full and happy life while your own life thanks to him has been hell can return it to that phase again.

Could he really be nice to fake Ciri? Many believe that Ciri will instantly understand the circumstances of the impostor girl. But if she is still angry because, after all, that girl is an accomplice to a deception by an invading nation to usurp the throne of Cintria, which the false Ciri does not have? right? And if even if she likes her, she refuses to let the charade continue, everyone believes that Ciri is going to allow her compatriots to continue being deceived and that she is going to focus on feeling sorry for a young woman forced to take her place. reverse? She pities fake Ciri but demands that she stop using her name and titles because they don't belong to her.

How will the people of Cintra react when the truth is revealed? That his true lost princess has returned and she is not the girl with the sad green eyes portrayed in that painting in the royal gallery of Cintra betrothed to the Emperor of Nifgaard but a woman with the powers of the ancient blood, with the training of a Witcher and the skills of a sorceress; that in addition the consort of the deceased princess Pavetta and the emperor are the same person and that the subject caused the death of his first wife and started a massacre just to commit incest with his own daughter, they were already revealing themselves from imperial control when unexpectedly their princess was found by Nifgaard and married the conqueror of Cintra, forcing them to lay down their arms. Those people are going to want blood, Ciri is going to want blood, and the rest of the northern kingdoms will very likely back her if she wants the crown that rightfully belongs to her.

I don't feel sorry for Emhyr at all when he faces the consequences of his vile acts motivated by a mere prophecy, that idiot was lucky that the author of Witcher wanted to end the saga quickly because another writer like George R.R. Martin would take decades to explain the consequences realistic to make decisions based on prophecies especially if you are in a position of great power with people who depend on you. Emhyr could take on his magically powerful daughter and a bunch of rationally pissed off people, looking for his head while not forgetting that his own people won't be happy that their ruler dragged them into a war with a nation they could have peacefully annexed by their marriage. with Pavetta otherwise he would have been obsessed with forcing his daughter to give birth to a son/brother who would supposedly save the world but in the end he did not have the strength to carry out the act but even so he chose to usurp his own daughter as how did the usurper with him, and give his inheritance to a young woman similar to her with whom he fell in love, I know it is more complicated than that and it was at that time the only way Emhyr saw to solve the mess he got everyone into But it doesn't change how that not only ruined Ciri's life but also that of hundreds who couldn't claim justice because they chose to be loyal to Queen Calanthe's granddaughter when that girl was an impostor.

The only one I really feel sorry for is false Ciri, she was a girl who lost everything in the war and unlike Ciri fate did not magically bind her to a monster hunting protector, that girl had to go through refugee camps and then through the child labor until being kidnapped and forced to assume the identity of another person who could die because no one is going to look for her because everyone thinks it's you.

That girl had to get used to a different culture while having to look like a Cintrian princess, most likely her life before the Cintra massacre was not very good because of how she clung to Lady Stella, Emhyr and her role as Princess Cirilla for the sake of it. comfort that each one gave her, and she refuses to give it up even if the real Ciri rightfully demands it, it would be a tragedy to see these two poor war orphans face each other.

And I think that the Cintrians themselves are going to treat her as a prostitute of the emperor who took the place of her true princess without empathizing with her tragedy.

What do you think?
