a song of mothers

Looking for a blog about the mothers of ASOIAF? Look no further!

asongofmothers is a collection of meta, fanart, and fanedits dedicated to the mothers of GRRM’s fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire.

the goal of this blog is to be a resource of information and celebration of the mothers (both good and bad) in the series and their relationships with their children and families.

mothers are often relegated to tragic backstories or saintly ghosts in fantasy series, and I hope this blog can help illuminate some of the women of ASOIAF as living, breathing people with desires and ambitions for themselves and their children.

this blog will be focused on content from the books, rather than the TV show adaptations.

🐉 Alyssa Targaryen 🟢🟣

Targaryen Family Tree

“her hair was a dirty blond tangle with no hint of silver to evoke the dragonlords of old, and she had been born with mismatched eyes, one violet, the other a startling green[...] when she was six playing in the yard a whack across the face from a wooden sword broke her nose. It healed crooked, but Alyssa did not seem to care. By that age, her mother had come to realize that it was not Daenerys that she took after, but Baelon.”

Known children: Viserys, Daemon, Aegon
