Aahh I’m so happy you’re still taking GoT requests. I don’t know how detailed you prefer your requests to be, but I would LOVE a Robb Stark bot. I’ve been reading Heart of the Great Wolf by risemyangel lately (fantastic series fic btw. Highly recommend) and I kind of crave a Robb bot based loosely on that same kinda premise.
With user being a child of Stannis Baratheon, but was raised in Winterfell for half their life bc they were one of Ned Stark’s wards. User subsequently falling in love with Jon Snow, but being married off to Robb.
If that’s too much or you’re not comfy with it, that’s totally okay! I just really appreciate your writing style and your bots :) Much love!
Hello! So sorry this took so long BUT!! C.ai seems to have been restricting some names related to the GOT fandom, so I had to modify the greeting message in order to make sure it would work!
But here it is:
Found a Robb Stark bot from the request box.
Let me know if it works!
JUSTICE FOR MY ROBB STARK BOTS THEY DID NOTHING WRONG.
Hi! do you still do C.ai Bots? if yes can I req a Robb stark bot based off the scene during the time Karstark killed 2 boys and Robb was fuming, Like user is the one trying to calm him and all that?
I do! And sure thing, sorry for the delay in replying!
I loved Robb in this scene, it was time I made a bot inspired by it!
this is the bot! let me know if it works or if it needs any sorts of editing!
Helloo! It's me, again I hope you are well!!
I wanted to ask for a request for Game of Thrones, a Viserys Targaryen bot, where while he accompanies Daenerys, he finds himself attracted to a warrior of the Dothraki tribe, but he is partially in denial because in his head, he has dragon blood, and for Viserys the members of the tribe are just savages. But over time, he ends up being attracted to the user, who is a warrior from the Dothraki tribe.
Thank you!!
Please take care of yourself 🩷
Greetings, my dear! I’m super well, thank you so much and thanks a lot for the request! (Hoping it doesn’t happen another thing like the one with the Robb Stark bot 🥹).
But without further ado:
I personally like Viserys’ character very much and I think he has been misunderstood by most of the fans of the franchise, I had lots of fun with this, so I hope you’ll like it!
Thank you so much again, I wish you an amazing day!💚
Hi, it's me again. I hope you're okay! (I just ✨loved✨ Robb Stark's bot, it was just how I imagined it!! Thank you so much!!)
I wanted to know if I could make one more request.
I was rewatching the series, Game of Thrones, and I was wondering if you could make a bot of Robb Stark (again, because I love this man), who needs to marry a daughter of Lord Frey, but during the war , he finds himself in love with a prostitute (male user), and he finds himself torn between duty and his heart.
Again, sorry if it didn't make sense haha. I still have a few more request ideas, if it's ok to you. But it's ok if I have a limited number of requests :))
Thank you, and take care of yourself 🩷
Greetings from the woods!
I absolutely **love** this scenario, it was so much fun to write! (+ Yes, Robb is the GOAT of GOT, the boy needs so much love). I mostly mostly write gender neutral scenarios for each bot and this is my first time writing a male user POV, so if you think that some changes are needed, please do tell!
All requests are open, so ask ahead! I have so much fun making bots and I’m so happy to receive any kind of requests 🩷
But enough with me,
🗡️| duty is the death of love (male user)
Hi! I hope you're okay :)
I wanted to make a request for a Game of Thrones bot, Robb Stark. Plot: In the middle of the icy of Winterfell, Robb has been focusing too much on the battles to come, exhausted, but then he hears music, a flute, a sound too happy for all that ice, so he goes after the sound and sees the user playing the flute and dancing with some children. He soon feels captivated by the scene, the music and the user.
Sorry if that didn't make sense, English is not my first language.
Thank you, and please take care of yourself 🩷
Thank you so much for the request!
It makes perfect sense and your english is perfect (says someone whose first language is italian), by the way thank you again and I hope you enjoy the bot! If you’d like any modifications let me know!🩷

HOW DOES ANYONE EXPECT ME TO STAY STRAIGHT AFTER THIS?
HotD episode 10 was a masterpiece, one I both adored and hated. The entire episode felt like a dream of being chased yet having the feeling of not being able to run at all.
There were so many things I wish to highlight. But first, the ironies:
The cruel irony of how everyone had to lose something to attain the crown. While Viserys lost his body, Rhaenyra lost her child (and recieved the crown in front of the pyre)
The way that Daemon ignored Rhaenyra's gut-wrenching calls to him but was the first to bend the knee, fulfilling his role as her ally but failing as her companion.
The fact most predominantly shown was how without the dragons... Targaryens are nothing. To think that the Dance of Dragons began because of a Dragon refusing the command of their rider.
The way Rhaenyra, even through her pain, made it a priority to inform her sons of what had happened in order to save them the pain.
There were also so many parallels in this episode.
Both Daemon and Corlys refusing to acknowledge that they weren't the only ones who have lost a child (completely sidetracking the sentiments of their spouses to have their overdramatic diva moments).
Rhaenyra stripping Otto of his pin, the same way her father did.
Daemon crowning Rhaenyra, the same way he put the crown on his brother's head.
And finally, Rhaenyra receiving the crown standing in front of the burning pyre of her child facing away from it, and in the end... recieving the news of Luke's death standing alone, facing refusal of her claim as a ruler in front of a fire, looking towards it rather than away, thus disregarding her desire to not be a queen of the ashes... now she wishes to set it ablaze herself.
All in all, it was a fitting end to season one and I can't wait to see how season two turns out.
(I have not read the books and all my interpretations are based solely on the show)
Previous
HotD episode 9 was bewildering. Being the first episode solely about the greens, I was apprehensive regarding how it'll be carried by the audience... in one word? Powerful.
What truly made the episode were certain quotes which blew my mind.
"We do not rule, but we may guide the men that do."
"And yet you toil in your service to men... you desire not to be free but to make a window in the wall of your prison."
The words which truly sparked the desire to break free in Alicent. Free from the clutches of her father, free to make her own decisions.
We see this particularly during the coronation when:
Alicent is the one on screen, between the swords when the words 'A new king' are spoken.
Alicent stands between Meleys and Aegon. A dragon facing another desiring equal standing. Two queens who never were facing each other.
"It is our fate, I think, to crave always what is given to another. "
Helena's words overlapping with Alicent's meeting with the lords to establish Aegon on the throne. And in the end Alicent and Aemond craving it for themselves.
And finally "There is no power but what people allow you to take."
Mysaria's words left me gaping. It truly embodied the entire scenario of power is temporary being highlighted in the episode.
I believe that we might also compare these words to Aemond's condition as he too is not able to take anything apart from what is handed to him.
(I have not read the books and all my interpretations are based solely on the show.)
House of the Dragon, Episode 8:
Not Alicent thinking that Viserys was talking about her rapist firstborn while he answered Rheanyra's question on his deathbed, regarding her being the 'prince' that will unite them as one, especially mere hours after we see them being hospitable after years.
Syrax providing Daemon and Rheanyra's children with three eggs, for their three children, befitting their station as trueborn children of dragons.
Funnily enough, Daemon being a classy malewife and manslaughtering Vaemond Velaryon for badmouthing Rhaenyra (all true, by the way), screamed Will Smith Energy (not that I condone what he did in any way).
Lastly, wondering why Aemond Targaryen's actions seem so familiar, why his mannerisms are something that remind us of someone we've witnessed before? Me too! Each and every action, sly retort, and taunt, gives the viewers of Daemon Targaryen in his prime, impulsive, agitated, and having a keen taste of violence.
But where Daemon's actions reflect underlying hurt, and the urge to protect and safeguard his family, Aemond's actions are a result of his dysfunctional upbringing and the deep seethed wounds caused by the callous words of his own blood at the time he didn't have a dragon, and thus, no proper position as a dragon himself.
HotD episode 8 reminded me of thunder; when quiet, it's easy to forget it's there, but one must never mistake it's silence for weakness.
The entire episode was raging, in it's own subtle way. Littered with silent imagery and all in all was breathtaking.
We see that Rhaenyra, once again wears Daemon's necklace but only in his company, she always chose to wear a different one when in court as if change into battle gear.
When Viserys walks into the throne room, we see his hunched, bent figure which gives us a glimpse of Rhaenyra standing ahead, head high, in front of the throne. We see this again when Viserys steps down from the throne.
We see how Alicent stands outside Viserys' bedpost, only coming in to feed him milk to poppy, to Weaken him. While Rhaenyra sits beside him, to assure, to strengthen. The way Rhaenyra silently weeps while thunder roars behind her.
I LOVE how all the men around Rhaenyra know that the women are strong and capable but never hesitate to defend them. The way Viserys wanted Vamond Valarion's tongue but Daemon claimed his whole head as revenge for speaking against Rhaenyra, how Jace was ready to attack- no, tear apart Aegon for how he disrespected Baela but also, respected her enough to stop when she said so.
The episode also carries several ironies on various fronts.
The way alicent described the star symbols as a sign of presence of higher authority but in the end, after her conversation with Viserys, convinced herself to be the higher authority.
The way the entire scene with the toasts started as seeming genuine to becoming malevolent until the room boiled over with the words 'each of then handsome, wise and strong'
And finally, the way Viserys reach out to the heavens on his deathbed, seeming reaching for Aemma having only two words on his mind... my love.
I have not read the books and all my interpretations are based solely in the show.
HotD episode 7 was frightening in its approach. It resonated a single message loud and clear... fire will reign.
The entire episode carried the strength of fire is such a subtle manner that it left me stunned and at a loss of words. Each conflict was illuminated and outlines by bright, raging flames.
The first time we see the symbolism of separation by fire is during the conversation between Viserys and Daemon.
We see it again, when Raenys calls Corlys out for desiring the throne for himself, ending his delusion of righteousness.
We see it behind Alicent and Rhaenyra when Allicent loses control and goes feral as the dam of her patience breaks.
We even see it behind Laenor's 'death' and his end in flames itself.
Another aspect which consumed me was the blood and the comparisons drawn by it.
While on one hand we see Rhaenyra bleeding alone, without Laenor by her side.
We see Rhaenyra and Daemon bleed together as he binds himself to her by marriage.
We also get a beautiful parallel of Daemon and Rhaenyra walking on the same beach where Laenor and Rhaenyra once started their relationship. A new start and perhaps a better one.
In the end, only one thing stands true:
Fire is a prison. The Targaryens are made of fire, meant to burn together.
I have not read the books and all my interpretations are based solely on the show.
HotD episode 6 was astonishing, I had been unsure of the flow now that the first segment was over but I have been left completely satiated.
My mind was raging by the end of the episode and I couldn't help but awe at the subte portrayals the show holds mastery over.
Once again, the main theme of how a dragon can never be subdued is reflected so calmly yet powerfully.
The true power of House Targaryen over House Valerion.
We first see this in the conversation between Daemon and Leana at the table with the other lords. Laena's wish to decline the offer is ever so silently disregarded. The frame where Daemon's hand rests on top of Laena's, wearing a ring which symbolizes royalty.
We see this yet again, when Rhaenyra has been holding back her anger (even having tears in her eyes) and finally unleashes on Laenor and commands him to remain at her side.
The episode also reflected certain cruel ironies...
Alicent's children only wearing green, symbolizing their mother's banner of war still stands proud while Rhaenyra's children wear blue... the color of Ser Harwin's eyes.
Ser Harwin's created life due to his affliction with a dragon (targaryen), yet rather than being protected by it, he was killed by fire. (I really loved seeing him as a father and I wish we could've gotten more scenes of him with the boys).
Alicent trying to bring back Otto Hightower as the hand only gave light to one cruel fact...Even partiality is fair when it's in favor of our own.
Laena's death was by no means less than that of a dragon rider. While the battle she fought was different, I'm glad Vhagar honored her command. (Her death really brought me to tears) Nevertheless, I'm glad that Daemon refused to make a choice on her behalf. Atleast in that sense, he is better than his brother.

This episode, not only as the end of an era but the beginning of one, serves its purpose in being the most symbolic, yet breathtaking depiction of what growth feels like. As always, House of The Dragon, does not fail to properly enchant it’s viewers. I, for one, am extremely invested and interested in knowing if it maintains its magnificence.
Episode 5 of House of The Dragon marks the end of one phase and the beginning of another, not just a new chapter but a whole book.
Needless to say, the episode in itself was phenomenal and as always I've got quite a few things to say, or rather, point out.
A targaryen can never be nameless, ser Criston had already marked a path that Rhaenyra wouldn't walk upon. I see the origin of his fury. His proposal wasn't out of love, it originated out of regret and desperation to save his dignity.
We once again see the display of absolute dominance by the Targaryen's when Viserys stated that Rhaenyra's children may be born Valarion but they shall rule as Targaryens.
And again, when Viserys refuses to accept a chair in Corlys' throne room as no king, (especially not one residing on the iron throne) shall ever sit beneath another.
We finally see Otto sow the seed of Rhaenyra's betrayal in Alicent's mind which is further watered by ser Criston, (just because he wasn't patient enough to let Alicent complete her sentence).
I loved the subtle comparison of Alicent to the flowers which thrive where they aren't supposed to. She was expected to wither without her father by her side, but instead further solidifies herself as a formidable force by wearing her house's colors of war to Rhaenyra's betrothal celebration.
An enchanting parallel was drawn between the carriage ride in episode 3 and one in episode 5, both times Rhaenyra is treated as a commodity to benefit the realm. Earlier, she was expected to be a paragon of virtue and behave like an ideal sister (during Aegon's 2nd name day) and this time, she is expected to marry for the sake of an alliance between house Valarion and Targaryen.
We also see that Rhaenyra has completely forsaken the necklace gifted to her by Daemon as she attempts to erase him from both her subconscious and physical self.
I, for one, loved the phrase dining as we see fit because not only did Rhaenyra dine very well last episode, she wishes to continue to do so after, which again highlights how she loves to be in control.
Coming to the feast.
The entry of House Valarion gave me literal chills!! (I would be lying to say that I didn't start clapping tbh)
Daemon's entry was extremely symbolic of his mistakes. Last time, he entered with Rhaenyra walking by his side but now, he walks alone, TOWARDS Rhaenyra.
I have to applaud Daemon for coming back to king's landing (while in exile), to attend a feast (he certainly wasn't invited to), and to try and tempt the bride (his literal neice) to chose him instead. He not only dances with said bride but also proceeds to (almost???) Kiss her in front of her father (his brother) AND GET AWAY WITH IT.
(Rhaenyra tempting him like this didn't help either, but I loved each second of it)
(Viserys' face here is so funny)
And finally...
Alicent's entry was breathtakingly powerful, I couldn't take my eyes off her. I even felt an urge to bow, I believe she brought a perfect end to the chapter of her trying to reconcile with Rhaenyra and finally having enough.
(My fav scene, undoubtedly!l)
I have not read the books and all my interpretations are solely based on the series.
Anyone else pretend that Rhaenyra or Alicent can somehow give birth to a poc baby while reading fanfics?
Me, knowing asoiaf is, in part, a story about the danger in reading too far in prophecies, watching Rhaenyra not run away with Alicent to fulfill Aegon the conquerors dream
Sansa Stark & Daenerys Targaryen, AGOT
A list of my most unpopular ASOIAF opinions and theories
Please remember this is all based on the books alone, and there also might be SPOILERS for Fire and Blood and the Game of Thrones book series.
ALSO I might open the requests for Game of Thrones fics and headcanons, and maybe for Baldur's Gate as well once I get back into it.
Okayyy so here we gooo.
1. Maegor's story doesn't add up
Don't get me wrong, he must've obviously been a horrible king and a shitty husband, but reading the chapters that talk about him in Blood and Fire, it all just felt like a list of rumours and versions of all nefarious crimes he would've committed. There are about five versions of whatever he did with each wife of his, each of them more depraved than the one before.
Again, I don't think he was an angel or anything, but my theory is that his history was written by biased sources. His reign was made illicit by Jaehaerys, so it would've been in his best interest to have him remembered as nothing more than a viscious monster.
It's a form of "damnatio memoriae" that we've already seen, in a way, with Mushroom and the Dance of Dragons. When in a conflict, and especially after a victory, each side wants to depict the side they beat as badly as possible Caesar did a similar thing in "De Bello Gallico", the book about his conquest of the modern French and Swiss territories. In this book he excuses his conquest with the supposed preparations for an attack by the Helvetians, a fact that was proven to be misinterpreted as it was a mere pacific migration. And again, he did the same thing when he accused them of cannibalising each other while being under siege, another untrue fact made up to just make them seem worse.
So in a way, Maegor's reputation could've been made worse by following historians to legitimate Jaehaerys' reign over Aerea's claim.
2. Incest has no effects on Valyrians
Okay, this is a bit weirder. My theory is that Valyrians practised incest because it had no effect on their offspring.
Looking at the Targaryen family tree, I noticed that the cases of madness increase the more Targaryens marry with other houses. Baelor the Blessed was the first mad Targaryen, and he had a grandmother of house Harte and a great grandmother who was half Arryn.
Before Baelor, Helaena is questionably considered mad as well, which would prove my theory furthermore had it not been for the amount of trauma she endured in her life so I'm honestly not gonna count her as "mad". Rhaegel Rargaryen was the second confirmed mad Targaryen, with a Martell mother; his daughter Aelora is questionably considered mad too, and her mother is an Arryn.
Aerion Brightflame was another mad Targaryen, with a half Martell father and a Dayne mother. The last two mad Targaryens were Aerys II and Viserys III, but at this point, the bloodline was mixed with others enough to make the Targaryen madness an unpredictable factor.
3. There is no good or bad in the Dance of Dragons
So I think we could theorise that Valyrians can perform incest so long as it remains within pure Valyrian blood.
Edit: some of you have pointed out how there were other signs of incest complications in the Targaryen family such as malformities and stillborn babies. I really am no biologist and I don't want to dwell into that "Valyrian race supremacy" craziness, but those cases are once again always correlated to marriages between Targaryens and other houses, for example all of Maegor's stillborn and unborn children (as 5 out of his 6 wives were not Targaryens/Valyrians) or the following cases.
Rhaenyra had a claim on the throne because of Viserys' will, but Aegon had a claim on the throne because of the laws of Westeros themselves. You can argue that Alicent wasn't the nicest stepmother, yet you can't look me in the face and tell me a woman in the middle ages married to a KING to whom she had given THREE SONS wouldn't complain when the king dismisses all of them and their claims in favor of his firstborn daughter.
Otto may have manipulated Alicent, but that was just how a Lord was supposed to act in that situation: have her marry the best candidate (the king), have her birth at least a son (she did) and make sure those children are first in line for the throne (as it should be, by the laws).
Viserys shouldn't have remarried if he already had his heir, period.
At the same time, Rhaenyra had every reason to fight for her claim and try and go against the actual laws of Westeros, but it was inevitable that many would've seen badly her attempt at claiming what was Aegon's birthright.
Lucerys was an asshole for mutilating Aemond and never showed remorse, quite the opposite. Aemond was an asshole who shouldn't have had all the power he had, plus I hardly believe his and Alys relationship was really consensual so there's that..
In the end, they all had their rights and wrongs, but that doesn't matter at all. The only point about the Dance is the fact that a pointless conflict led to the downfall of one of the strongest families in Westeros history.
4. Rhaegar didn't love Lyanna
I hate the series for making them marry. Like, seriously, have D&D ever read the books? Have they not read what happened between Maegor and the Faith when he took another wife??
Never, not even in the most twisted of universes, would the faith let Rhaegar kidnap and marry a Stark girl while he was still married to Elia. That just wouldn't be plausible.
And I also don't think he'd just fall in love at first sight with a random girl at a tournament. She was a beautiful soul and had many qualities, but she had nothing that could truly make a man throw away his whole life to pursue her.
He needed another child. The dragon has three heads. He had Rhaenys and Aegon, but Visenya was missing (I just made up the name for the third possible child considering he was naming them after the three conquerors lmao). He needed Lyanna to have that third child, and he knew how to get her to get what he wanted.
Perhaps we'll find out this isn't true. Perhaps Rhaegar really was head over heels for Lyanna, but I honestly really really doubt it.
5. There is no certainty on who the Prince that was Promised is
No matter what the show wants us to see, we still don't know who it is. It could be Daenerys, it could be Jon, it could even be Stannis and we're not gonna know it until Martin reveals it.
I honestly think Daenerys is Azor Ahai, but I'm still curious to see why we would need to revive Jon then. And considering Stannis' sword possibly being Azor Ahai's sword, is it a fake one made by Melisandre to get what she wanted from him, or does he actually possess the original sword?
Well, these are the first theories and opinions I could think of right now, I might post more in the future. Again, please don't slander me in the comments, these are just my personal opinions and I respect all others.
Little life update (that no one asked for)
Hello everyone!! Thank you so much for your support even through my absence, you have no idea how much it did to me.
I'm doing much better now!! After I was diagnosed with ADHD, my psychologist suggested to investigate a bit further with a psychiatrist and it turns out I'm on the spectrum as well lmao. Well, it didn't really come as a surprise to me, but it definitely did help at understanding who I am and how I work a lot more.
I've started both therapy and taking meds, plus with some help from my teachers and family I got back on track with school and my studies.
I won't make any promises to avoid disappointing anyone, but I am starting to consider going back to writing fics in the future. I've also been rediscovering some old fandoms I used to love, so I may change the list of actual fandoms I write for in the future (mostly by adding the GOT/ASOIAF fandom lol).
For now, nothing will be written, but I will reopen my requests to try and get some inspiration from your incredible ideas. Once again, thanks to everyone who stuck around and especially to those who took it upon themselves to reach out to me💗💗
Anywayyyy this is it!! I just wanted to share a slice of my life with you guys💗

I don't understand why people blame Sansa for Ned's death, "she snitched to Cersei" Cersei did not want Ned dead 😭 we don't really see her pov but she probably wanted him loyal to Joffrey and alive
Every time someone tries to compliment the stark girls there always going to be an annoying ant putting them against each other in the comments, y'all do realize you got beef with characters that would literally be in middle school? You have beef with middle schoolers
The Stark sisters are truly my roman empire, apparently being a fan of both is unpopular here on Tumblr but i love them. I think their relationship is so realistic, anyone with a sibling will tell you about the times they didn't get along, i think this fandom thinks their relationship is cruel because they think their age gap is bigger than it actually is, they're just two years apart and don't understand each other's ideals so they have conflicts but it's so very obvious how much they love each other from Arya thinking of needle for all her siblings "even for Sansa" and Sansa imagining her daughter would look like Arya ☹️ Doomed sisters how i love you
