Art by the great @lupotterdraws thank you for making this!

He is marking down the men to die, Dunk realized. “My lord,” he said, “we saw the heads outside. Is that… will the Fiddler… Daemon… will you have his head as well?” Lord Bloodraven looked up from his parchment. “That is for King Aerys to decide… but Daemon has four younger brothers, and sisters as well. Should I be so foolish as to remove his pretty head, his mother will mourn, his friends will curse me for a kinslayer, and Bittersteel will crown his brother Haegon. Dead, young Daemon is a hero. Alive, he is an obstacle in my half brother’s path. He can hardly make a third Blackfyre king whilst the second remains so inconveniently alive. Besides, such a noble captive will be an ornament to our court, and a living testament to the mercy and benevolence of His Grace King Aerys.”

Art made by the great @lupotterdraws an amazing & great artist that I highly recommend to everyone!

How many eyes does Lord Bloodraven have? A thousand eyes, and one.

DAEMON BLACKFYRE vs JON SNOW vs BRYNDEN RIVERS: parallels/antiparalells:

Mothers: Daena Targaryen, a former Queen Consort to the Iron throne, was Daemon’s mother. Lyanna Stark, a highborn lady from the North, was Jon’s mother, and her family built a statue in her honor in the crypts of Winterfell. Melissa Blackwood, a highborn lady of northern/riverlands origin, was Brynden’s mother. She’s still remembered by her house, there’s a statue of her in the godswood of Raventree Hall.

Swords: Daemon was given the ancestral sword of house Targaryen, Blackfyre, by his father, King Aegon IV. Jon Snow was gifted the ancestral sword of house Mormont, Longclaw, by Jeor Mormont. Brynden wielded Dark Sister, the sword that belonged to Visenya Targaryen.

Daemon Blackfyre rebelled against his half-brother Daeron II, fighting for his right to the Iron Throne. Jon Snow was loyal to his half-brother Robb Stark, the King in the North, and wanted to fight beside him willing to become a deserter. Brynden Rivers was loyal to Daeron II and led an army against Daemon, killing him later.

Daemon Blackfyre married Rohanne of Tyrosh and had 8 known children and unknown sons with her. Both Jon Snow and Brynden swore to have no children joining the Night’s Watch, but both of them had lovers: Ygritte and Shiera Seastar.

Brynden Rivers and Jon Snow were elected as Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. Daemon Blackfyre was the leader of the Blackfyre rebellion and wanted to claim the Iron Throne for himself.

Daemon Blackfyre died not leaving his 12 years old son Aegon’s side, who was killed by Brynden Rivers. Daemon was also killed by him. Jon Snow and Brynden sacrificed children for the greater good: in Brynden’s case it was Aegon Blackfyre, in Jon’s - Gilly’s son.

Additionally, both Brynden and Jon have an ability to warg into animals.

I wore many names when I was quick, but even I had a mother, and the name she gave me at her breast was Brynden.

“bloodraven was a skinny nerd” is Bracken propaganda that guy’s weapon of choice was a 6 foot weirwood longbow at the VERY least he was a skinny nerd with shoulders so yoked he couldn’t fit through most doors

A thousand eyes, and one.

The last greenseer, the singers called him, but in Bran's dreams he was still a three-eyed crow. When Meera Reed had asked him his true name, he made a ghastly sound that might have been a chuckle. "I wore many names when I was quick, but even I once had a mother, and the name she gave me at her breast was Brynden." -- Bran III, ADWD
