“He was going to burn the city,” Jaime said. “To leave Robert only ashes.”
“He was your king,” said Darry.
“You swore to keep him safe,” said Whent.
“And the children, them as well,” said Prince Lewyn.
Prince Rhaegar burned with a cold light, now white, now red, now dark. “I left my wife and children in your hands.” “I never thought he’d hurt them.” Jaime’s sword was burning less brightly now. “I was with the king…
“Killing the king,” said Ser Arthur. “Cutting his throat,” said Prince Lewyn. “The king you had sworn to die for,” said the White Bull. – A Storm of Sword
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

“If it weren’t for you, I’d still be making coffee dreaming of a chance to do more. You’ve changed my life for the better Lois, in every possible way.”
And in these next 50 years you will eat so many delicious meals, laugh so many times with so many people you love, shout and scream and sing and cry and smile so hard your face hurts. And you will see such beautiful sunsets and feel fresh cold air on your face and feel warm and safe wrapped up in your favourite winter coat.
I wrap this blessing around you like a shroud, so that no ill can find you, and every warmth is held close
I made a tiger illustration that I never used on another project, and when I found out 2022 will be the Chinese year of the tiger I decided to make this. The tiger of the Chinese zodiac is associated with power and boldness. So I decided to fill this with symbols representing what I want to bring into the new year.
~ Forget-me-not flowers represent remembrance (pretty obvious one there). I also added hearts for love and fire for passion. The raised fist is currently most associated with the Black Power movement. Historically it has been a widely used symbol of resistance against oppression. And finally, the circles are symbolic of the cyclical nature of life. Even though we feel time pressing us forward, the circle represents eternity and wholeness. I hope you all have a safe, happy, and healthy new year!
