His dead brother’s wife?!!! Scandalous!!
What can I say, they are the OTP of The Way of Kings.
As you can see this one too went through several iterations. The first version of them I painted last year ago while visiting Alaska with my friend and co-conspirator. But it felt too stiff and didn’t fit very well with the first WoK cover we made for this series. So after some months I sat down again and now I am really happy with it ☺️
I hope you like it, too.

the knight of the laughing tree.
this is probably beating a dead horse but you know I hear often this debate on whether rote is queerbaiting and I have to say I genuinely argue it is already on-page queer. beloved is canonically queer & in love with fitz and I just don't think there's a version of fitz that's normal about that. i think that even if there was a different author but the same fitzchivalry you could not honestly write that man in this story coming to terms with his identity because he doesn't reallyyy come to terms with any other parts of his identity. he doesn't come to terms with any of his loves on-page, barely comes to terms with the wit, never stops lying, is deeply uncomfortable with himself and his life and his relationships and his family and himself as a father and the fact that he is a bastard so why would this be any different? it's weird that hobb takes such a stance against a romantic fitzfool reading or a queer fitz because she already wrote it, it's on the page! this IS how a relationship between the two of them would play out, this is how fitz would act if he was queer, there is no what if, this is it. in my opinion at least it IS a queer story. anyway.

“I was told Your Grace had need of me,” Ser Justin said, from one knee. “You will escort the Braavosi banker back to the Wall. Choose six good men and take twelve horses. Oh, and take the Stark girl with you, as well as Alysane Mormont. Lady Arya should have a female companion. Deliver her to Lord Commander Snow on your way to Eastwatch." Stannis tapped the parchment that lay before him. “A true king pays his debts.” - Theon I, Twow
"Speak the word, and we will send you to the Black Pearl or the Daughter of the Dusk." "I sold three cockles to a courtesan." "Which one was this, now? The Queen o' Cockles, was it?" "The Black Pearl. She said 'I'll take three cockles,' and 'Do you have some hot sauce, little one?" "And what did you say?" "I said, 'No, my lady,' and, 'Don't call me little one. My name is Cat.' "Look, the Sealord's box. That must be the Westerosi envoy. Have you ever seen such clothes on an old man? And look, he's brought the Black Pearl!" She was so lovely that the lamps seemed to burn brighter when she passed. - Arya, Affc, Adwd, Twow
He is a man of the Night's Watch, she thought, as he sang about some stupid lady throwing herself off some stupid tower because her stupid prince was dead. The lady should go kill the ones who killed her prince.
Theory: In the Winds of Winter, Arya will encounter Jeyne Poole in the course of an apprenticeship with the Black Pearl, who moves in Braavos' high society. The meeting will drive Arya to reclaim her identity.

The real problem with this is that Kit Harrington is not a good actor and any attempt to anchor a prestige character study drama with him would be embarrassing.
It’s emblematic of a bigger problem GoT had where most of their strongest actors were playing doomed characters. Alfie Allen, Charles Dance, Natalie Dormer, Stephen Dillane, Michelle Fairley Harry Lloyd-the attrition of the really good actors was gradual but it became really noticeable by the end when the bulk of the surviving major characters were played by the weaker actors. There’s no one really left who could carry their own show except for Peter Dinklage and he has better things going on in his career.
