Westeros fashion studies: Westerlands

"The westerlands or westlands, historically the Kingdom of the Rock, are a region in the west of the continent of Westeros. Before Aegon's Conquest, it was ruled by the Kings of the Rock. People from the westerlands are known as westermen.
 The customary surname of bastards of noble origin born in the westerlands is Hill.
The westerlands are ruled from Casterly Rock by House Lannister. Notable bannermen have included BanefortBraxBroomCleganeCrakehallFarmanLeffordLyddenMarbrandPaynePresterReyneSerrettSwyftTarbeck, and Westerling."   

“i. there are kingdoms & empires bursting in full color on your tongue, straining against the blockade of your teeth, if only you will part your lips & breathe. ii. heart quivers behind (rib)cage gilded gold, afraid to palpitate & shatter bone. don’t wait for a prince to unlock you— whittle your ribs into a key. it will fit. iii. the landscape of your skin is foreign territory: translucence stained with a sprawling roadmap of violet veins, skylines & cityscapes, tangled constellations that lead to your heart. iv. the space of your throat is a chasm— they look down & call you empty. haven’t yet learnt to see in the dark, haven’t yet learnt the geometry of your voice. v. your eyes, swollen with fireflies; theirs, halogen bulbs of forgotten lamplights on one-way streets. only moths go near, aching for the promise of artificial sunlight. vi. darling, give them a bit of your incandescence. i promise you will still shine.”

not to sound sappy, but i personally think that a happy ending that the characters bled, suffered and fought for is a thousand times more interesting than a bland tragic ending that the author clearly thought would be “subversive”
