Postcard to Tyrion Lannister

to/from Fictional Person # 4

in swedish mixed with english





God morgon, Tyrion!
Är just i ett skotskt castle
och is looking ut över Nord-
irland. Reminds mig om
din skepnad. Got no aning
om du är död eller alive?
However you're tillräckligt
clever to tolka dessa
swedish words. Svärden
drog foolen i tarot. ^^
Feel så liten här among
de stupande murarna...
Hur många battles behöver
en skalbagge genomfighta
before röda viner rinner
free between fyra riken?
Ty kreativ frame kräver
begränsad loyality, liksom
hjärtat sometimes måste
följa your smart tongue.
Bästa blandade list, mister!
Hälsa Bronn, Jon o Greyjoy,
Jaime, Baratheon o Petyr
samt alla royal whores
att ta it cool på hästryggen
och varmt nu i vinter...
/ Antares Tritonus

ROLES of THRONES

Finally finished watching the first season of Game of Thrones. It seems to be an endless puzzle of characters, who can appear or disappear as quickly as they are slowly woven into the big net.

If I would have to live in this kind of medieval world (or these worlds) and so choose a character to be - here's a list of how much I would love to be any character. The last ones I really don't like to be at all.

Would not like to be mean or forceful, but would not like to be stupid or threatened either. Even if some characters can be extremely bad or good, have an extremely nice or hard life - it still isn't easy to choose which position I could lead a both confident and creative role from...

...especially since possibilities and responsibilities sometimes changes faster than you'll imagine. As a man I further can appreciate many women without wanting to be them. Try to frame as if the intrigue could be potentially other than the actual.




1
LORD VARYS (councelor or spy)

2
SAMWELL TARLEY (night watcher a bit clumsy?)

3
TYRION LANNISTER (smart dwarf)

4
BRONN (free knight)

5
PETYR "LITTLEFINGER" BAELISH (councelor or businessman)

6
ARYA STARK (daughter with a sword)

7
MAESTER LUWIN (old student and tutor)

8
ROBERT BARATHEON (King of the seven kingdoms)

9
EDDARD STARK (King's hand)

10
OSHA (former wildling)

11
BRAN STARK (younger son)

12
VISERYS TARGARYEN (vain man maybe a dragon)

13
JON SNOW (half-brother of Stark family)


14
ROS (whore)

15
THEON GREYJOY (companion of Stark/Snow brothers)

16
JEOR MORMONT (Lord Commander of Night's Watch)

17
DAENERYS TARGARYEN (princess living like an amazon)

18
KHAL DROGO (Dothraki warlord)

19
DOREAH (whore and handmaiden)

20
HODOR

21
ROBB STARK (eldest son)

22
ROBIN ARRYN (fed by Lady Lysa)

23
SYRIO FOREL (sword trainer)

24
CATELYN STARK (wife)

25
JORAH MORMONT (knight in exile by Targaryen's)

26
JAIME LANNISTER (real father of Joffrey)

27
MYRCELLA BARATHEON (princess)

28
MASTER AEMON (blind advicer almost too old to be remembered?)

29
TYWIN LANNISTER (father)

30
QOTHO (heartless warrior)

31
CERSEI LANNISTER (Queen?)

32
SANSA STARK (potential princess/queen)

33
JOFFREY BARATHEON (prince)



And remember I still haven't seen more than one season = ten episodes. Haven't read the written story either (just some chapters) which surely goes even deeper into these persons or creatures.




Before a potential battle :

"-Are you afraid?
-I must be [watches his own hand trembling].
-Good!
-Why is that good?
-It means you're not stupid."

Game of Thrones 1:8

Rio Rio with Duran Duran

During most times of my life I probably would've dismiss this music. But now it feels good and not so shallow at all. Realise that early Duran Duran is not so far away from my favourite bands Alphaville and Ultravox as well as The Stranglers. Rio was released 1982, and it seems that that album does quite much for the perfect impression.
