Daenerys Targaryen
Game of Thrones
Hardhome
Iron Throne (A Song of Ice and Fire)

Presumably inspired by a scene in the episode "Hardhome" (2015) of Game of Thrones, in which Daenerys Targaryen, reflecting on her plan to reclaim the Iron Throne, vows to "break the wheel" of oppression and war.

The head of one of Canada's largest unions says it's time to break the wheel and change the way businesses are operated.

2020, Carol Todd, "Time to change Canada's business model: UFCW", Regina Leader-Post, 4 September 2020, page NP7

Finally, the fact that both protagonists are teenagers is worth considering not only as a mere feature of the dystopian fiction subgenre, but as a representation of the power of the younger generations in breaking the wheel and transforming society not only when they grow up and become adults, but from today.

I do not see any possibility for breaking the wheel of the prevailing capitalist and liberal ideology or any kind of ideology.

Verbalization of the incantation of the killing curse in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Rowling has stated that it is from Aramaic עַבְדָא כְּדַבְרָא (avda kedavra, literally “what was said has been done”), calling it “the original of abracadabra, which means ‘let the thing be destroyed’”; compare Hebrew עַבְרָא כְּדַבְרָא (avra kedavra, literally “what was said has come to pass”). In fact, a relationship of these terms with abracadabra (of unknown origin) has been suggested, but there is little supporting evidence.

There isn’t much point in trying to attack this, the final installment in the epic saga of Harry Potter; everyone in the civilized world has already seen it, and all of the die-hard HP fans won’t accept even the slightest criticism of the movies, save for the degree to which they differ from the books. However, at the time of this writing, HP-fever has died down and I can now give this movie a fair examination, free from the scornful “avada kedavra-ing” of fanboys and fangirls.

2011 August 16, Kevin Kryah, “Harry ends on a high note”, in Samantha Strong, editor, Cub Reporter, volume 63, number 1, Indianapolis, Ind.: Lawrence Central High School, page 13, column 1:

If Harry Potter was a vicious hooligan, we’d quite happily accept Voldermort^([sic]) Avada-Kedavra-ing him.

2012, Charlie Wilson, A Seriously Useful Author’s Guide to Writing a Marketable Book, Kibworth Beauchamp, Leicestershire: Troubador Publishing Ltd, →ISBN, page 136:

If I was Harry Potter, I would have Avada Kedavraed your ass straight into hell.

2013, J.C. Daniels [pseudonym; Shiloh Walker], chapter 10, in Broken Blade (Colbana Files), →ISBN, part 1 (Broken):

There are challenges — like Ravenclaw egos, Voldemort’s avada kedavra-ing, the Malfoys’ bullying, the stress of exams and the frigidity of weather which can make lecture halls seem more like igloos — but these challenges become much more manageable when undertaken alongside others with whom one identifies and empathizes.

2013 November 6, David Shuck, “The weather outside doesn’t have to be frightful”, in André Rouillard, editor, The Vanderbilt Hustler, volume 125, number 44, page 6, column 3:

“One day I walked into my classroom to find every single student snoring. The noise…I finally snapped. I waved my hand and turned them all into blue-footed bubis**.” / News traveled across campus quickly, eliciting an immediate response from both faculty and students. / “I love it!” said one professor who wished not to be named. “That’s thinking outside the box! Personally, I would have avada kedavra’d the whole lot of them. But I suppose it’s a start.”

2016 April 1, Skeeter Reeter bo Beeter [pseudonym], “Professor Rewarded for Taking Revenge on Slacking Students”, in The Wilson Bullboard, Chambersburg, Pa.: Wilson College, page 4, columns 2–3:

Voldemort remains a performer throughout the entire series, and his theatricality becomes his predictability (though he learns enough to Avada Kedavra Harry immediately in Deathly Hallows and go through the theatrics after the threat has been nullified).

2018, Irvin Khaytman, “Albus Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix”, in The Life and Lies of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, 2nd edition, Story Spring Publishing, →ISBN:

Theme park lines occupy – or, really, are – a special place in hell, especially the ones in Central Florida, where standing under the Florida sun usually results in enough back sweat to fill a kiddie pool. One place, though, stops us from Avada Kedavra-ing ourselves – the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. With meticulous attention to detail and the Harry Potter canon, Universal engineers have created immersive waiting areas that are just as magically engaging as the ride itself.

2018 August 22–28, “Best Magical Queue”, in Jessica Bryce Young, editor, Best of Orlando 2018 (Orlando Weekly), Orlando, Fla.: Euclid Media Group, page 137:

He is standing again, pacing around the apartment lobby, scared, like some wizard is going to Avada Kedavra him into oblivion.

2019 August 28, Emily Roach, Rebecca Rahme, “Adrian”, in The Uprising, Bloomington, Ind.: iUniverse, →ISBN:

Have faith in yourself, Jane. You are more dangerous than you know. / I tried to believe that. Of course, it would have been easier to believe if not for the fact I had to turn into a deer to duck out of the way of Jones pulling out a wand then firing glowing balls of hellish fire at me. / “You are not going to Avada Kedavra me, Hermione!” I shouted. / Alex engaged Visigoth in battle and it was hard to tell who was winning, since the two thousand-year-old vampire moved faster than the eye could see.

* (fantasy): Circa 1980s. From hedge (“third-rate”) + witch. Compare hedge priest, hedge wizard.

"You're a magician, right?" he asked, trying to recapture the moment.
Moira shrugged. "In a small way. I am a hedge witch."
"That's interesting. What does a hedge witch do?"
"What do I do? Oh, herbs and simples. A little healing. Some weather magic. I try to warn of dangers, find lost objects and strayed animals."

It was extremely rare, but not unheard of, for civilians to work up a spell or two on their own, but as far as Quentin knew they never got into anything serious. Real magicians called them hedge witches.

People believe that a beast shoots "ghost bullets" when they ford a stream in Sihch'uan at any time except the winter months .

1968, Wolfram Eberhard, The Local Cultures of South and East China, page 195:

The leaves were used in the removal of ghost bullets " (supernatural objects that were shot into people by ghosts).

Pushing Teddy off, ignoring the part of him that mourned the loss—not the time, dumbass, not the time, ghosts were kind of a big fucking deal—he scrambled to his knees and looked at where the ghost had tried to put a ghost bullet in his brain.

"Somebody shot the doctor," the big police sergeant said. "It wasn't a ghost bullet; it was lead.

It was a ward against ghosts, but he was pretty sure it wasn't going to stop a ghost bullet.

2017, Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden, Hellboy: An Assortment of Horrors, page 105:

He ain't shootin' ghost bullets, neither. Here's his slug.

2020, Kenneth Robeson, The Squeaking Goblin, page 66:

(folklore or fantasy) A supernatural bullet that wounds or kills a person, especially one that is shot by a supernatural assailant.

Hardy wondered what happened to you when you were hit with ghost bullets. Did they only kill ghosts, or could they work on the living, too?

2010, Scott Nicholson, Drummer Boy: A Supernatural Thriller:

All we have are ghost bullets —and as you saw with Mild Bill, ghost bullets do just fine against the undead.

2017, David Boop, Straight Outta Tombstone:

(Elden Ring fandom slang) Synonym of Marigon.


Radika

Marigon/Radika are acting as a vessel for the ring. I don't know how much of either of them are left.

Three butterflies means there’s three children of Radika but you think what I’m saying is wild?

What I don't understand is how Radagon is Marika. Does she shift between the two or does Radagon split off? Is Messmer her first born through Radika?

Picking Durge opens up some unique options and scenes.

Both of my good Durges were College of Swords bards because I liked this class so much.

Even if you don’t romance him, get a good relationship with Astarion and talk to him often. He has the most unique dialogue when interacting with Durge.

(Baldur's Gate fandom slang) The Dark Urge player character in Baldur's Gate 3.


Marigon

The real weirdest part of that is how it was apparently "a secret," yet Marigon still allowed the artist to not only complete the statue, but then put it on display.

I love Hunter Schafer! She would make a fierce Marigon in a live action adaptation

2023 March 13, PorscheUberAlles, Reddit:

D's presense also serves to strengthen this connection, as both the D twins and Marigon share the dual-self thing.

(Elden Ring fandom slang) Marika and Radagon as a single entity; the selfcest ship of Marika and Radagon.


Spawnstarion

Gods, I would love a DLC where we get to find a cure for Spawnstarion. I need that. Until then my headcanon must suffice.

Resist Durge and Spawnstarion is the best romance experience of this game.

2024 February 1, deleted_account, Reddit:

I find it incredibly sweet and I have Spawnstarion repeat that line a lot to my Tavs lol.

2024 March 10, somethingaboutme, Reddit:

(Baldur's Gate fandom slang) The vampire spawn version of Astarion from the video game Baldur's Gate 3.


Bloodweave

Blend of blood + weave, referencing Astarion being a vampire and Gale a wizard (the Weave is a source of magic in Forgotten Realms lore).

Gotta love some tender Bloodweave.

My favourite part of bloodweave is they can either help fix each other or be ambitious lil shits together.

2023 May 17, ferretatthecontrols, Reddit:

Just play as Gale, then you have no choice but to choose someone else (I recommend Astarion for Bloodweave goodness.)

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Astarion Ancunín and Gale Dekarios from the video game Baldur's Gate 3.

Wyllstarion

Wyllstarion is like crack to me. I wish it was more popular.

2024 April 30, Passenger_Prince, Reddit:

I ship Wyllstarion hard. Astarion would make an amazing duchess.

2024 June 16, Healthy_Breakfast_24, Reddit:

I’ll take those Wyllstarion fics if you don’t mind 👀

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Wyll Ravengard and Astarion Ancunín from the video game Baldur's Gate 3.


Aegriff

Aegriff was not only in hiding, he was also always sheltered and therefore isolated.

Wouldn't either Jon or Aegriff still win under strict Targaryen male-preference primogeniture?

He also thinks to himself that he will see Rhaegar's son claim the Iron Throne. And that's almost certainly in reference to Aegriff, unless he has another Aegon tucked away somewhere.

2021 August 29, Michelle_Coldbeef, Reddit:

(ASoIaF/GOT fandom slang) The character of Young Griff from the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series.

TBTWP

Look I know I don't really make posts but I could not be more hyped for TBTWP.

What are the chances that they shot more of TBTWP than was aired?

As much as I loathed what the show turned into, we did get TBTWP.

The Bang That Was Promised
Bang That Was Promised#English

(ASoIaF/GOT fandom slang, humorous) Initialism of The Bang That Was Promised.


boatsex

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-boatsex.wav

From boat + sex, referencing the scene's setting. The term was coined before season 7 aired due to plot leaks.

Can the mods put a boatsex counter right below the next episode counter?

I don't care about boatsex. I'd rather see them fuck on a dragon, mile high club on another level.

Jon and Dany will do more boatsex and produce more babies?

(ASoIaF/GOT fandom slang) The Jonerys sex scene in the season 7 finale of Game of Thrones, set in the cabin of a ship on which Daenerys and Jon are sailing together.


Targling

Targs who have married brunette non-Targs/Valyrians have produced Targlings with their usual Valyrian looks.

There's nothing I'd love more than a full Targaryen restoration with baby Targlings and baby dragons and I don't care what anyone says about dIsNeY eNdInG.

Hence putting eggs in the cradle and the symbiotic relationship between dragon and Targling

(ASoIaF/GOT fandom slang) Any young member of House Targaryen.


fAegon

We see a lot of "Aegon vs fAegon" threads around and the community seems to be in favour of the fAegon theory.

So much of what Cersei did this year lines up with what people expect of fAegon in the books.

R+L=J is most probably true. fAegon is most probably a Blackfyre. Jon and fAegon both grew up believing lies about themselves.

(ASoIaF/GOT fandom slang) The character of Young Griff from the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series, viewed as not truly the long-lost son of Rhaegar Targaryen as presented by the text.


Rhaenicent

Expected Daemyra and Rhaenicent to be popular but wtf how is Lucemond a top 25 ship globally?

I’ve been shipping Rhaenicent since the first episode aired, and I’ve also been Team Black the entire time, and Rhaenyra’s my favorite character.

But yes, I agree they needed to build Rhaenicent properly if it was going to be such a big thing.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.


Bang That Was Promised

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-Bang That Was Promised.wav

Coined with reference to the "prince that was promised" prophecy within A Song of Ice and Fire lore.

Like.... we get it, Jaime! We feel your pain! And maybe it's taken 84 years but Bang That Was Promised is surely coming.

It’s crazy to think that the episode that included The Bang That Was Promised turned out to be the worst episode of the entire series, but here we are.

As a good fic goes, it eventually turns into a kiss, then Jaime basically pulls Brienne through the hallways of Winterfell to her chambers. Brienne even states he has no idea where her rooms are, so then she has to lead him. All this lovely banter leads to the Bang That Was Promised and all other kinds of lovey things.

2023 December 13, Proper_Collection525, Reddit:

(ASoIaF/GOT fandom slang, humorous) The first time Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth have sex.

Daemyra

Daemyra was teased since their throne scene in the 1st episode

Him [Matt Smith] being the biggest Daemyra shipper gives me a lot of hope for their future in the rest of the series!

2024 June 26, Honeypumpkingrass_, Reddit:

Daemyra is intriguing to me because I know it’s not real. If I saw a real life incestuous couple, I definitely wouldn’t be saying “damn, that’s hot!”.

2024 September 14, TacosandFire, Reddit:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Daemon Targaryen and Rhaenyra Targaryen from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.


Helaegon

Helaegon I don’t understand at all. Aegon is a piece of shit human and Helaena is a gentle soul.

2023 October 25, Hysteric_woman, Reddit:

We needed more Helaegon scenes. Ryan fucking condom can't give them a 2 minutes conversation.

I like Helaegon because Aegon is so alone in the world in the show, I need copium in my imagination that there's at least one person in his corner.

(fandom slang) The canonical incestuous ship of fictional siblings Helaena Targaryen and Aegon II Targaryen from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.

Alysmond

The only ship I support is Alysmond. Canonically they were the only people in TG [Team Green] who actually loved each other romantically.

Alysmond is a "he/she can make me worse" kind of situation imo and I'm here for it.

Alysmond is one of the most vile relationships in the entire series. She was his literal hostage yet they glorify it calling Aemond “based” and a “milf enjoyer”. Fucking sick.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Alys Rivers and Aemond Targaryen from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.

oathsex

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-oathsex.wav

Compound of oath + sex. Coined with reference to the vow Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister made to Catelyn Stark to find her daughters.

I was all for OATHSEX but now I just want her [Brienne] to go north with tormund and ghost and make giant babies

I was giddy the day before, expecting the world of oathsex, I was buzzing the whole day... then we get the wind punched out of us.

I can’t wait to see the new book mostly because of oathsex.

Alicole

I ship Alicole, but their relationship isn’t based on sex, more of a religious fascination and devotion—courtly love.

2023 September 7, deleted account, Reddit:

Alicole feels like a twisted version of Lancelot and Guinevere. The knight in service of the king who falls in love with the queen.

Alicole are both hypocrites, I was shouting at my screen in disbelief. These two nutheads have the audacity to besmirch Rhaenyra and then doing the same goddamn thing years later.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Alicent Hightower and Criston Cole from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.

Helaemond

I love Helaemond, it has so many of my favorite tropes all wrapped up into one ship and I think they look beautiful together.

“I’ve seen them all, for sure,” Phia Saban said. “I mean, sometimes Ewan [and I] will be doing a scene and we’ll be like, ‘Do it for Helaemond.’ And he’s like, ‘You know what the people want.'”

2024 June 11, Meghan O'Keefe, “'House of the Dragon' stars Ewan Mitchell and Phia Saban played into fan theories in season 2: 'Do it for Helaemond'”, in Decider:

In the pair's exclusive conversation with Collider, Saban said that a Helaemond relationship "[isn't] completely out of the question," and both actors agreed the siblings are "closer" to one another than their other siblings.

2024 July 9, Kelcie Mattson, “Will Aemond Be the Father of Helaena's Third Child in 'House of the Dragon'?”, in Collider:

humie

From human + -ie, originally popularized by the Warhammer franchise, where the word is used by the "ork" race to refer to humans.

The orks and "goblins" of the WHFB world do not have any advanced technology, and are in fact even more backwards than the primitive humies on the planet.

1997 July 7, P. Troy Routley, “40k comes b4 FB... PROVEN!”, in rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (Usenet):

A lot of times she doesn't even seem to care about pets. Just wants her humie nearby to sit with and watch the deer. Some people wonder if cats actually love anyone but I know my Loaf loves me someone fierce. She's my fuzzy adventure companion.

2022 December 11, @wizardofcause, Twitter:

There was a time my friends and I did a fantasy race quiz. One got elf, one got dragon, one was an incubus, and I was the sole humie. At first I was disappointed but then thought “In a fantasy world I’d be pals with three immortal beings of incredible power as a dude.” And smiled

hedge wizard

From hedge (“third-rate”) + wizard (“someone who uses magic”). Compare hedge priest, hedge whore.

There was something hysterical about the way Mouse insisted on that ‘great,’ for to the world Glavas Rho was but a hedge-wizard, no better than a Mingol necromancer with his second-sighted spotted dog or a conjurer beggar of Quarmall.

1962 October, Fritz Leiber, “The Unholy Grail”, in Fantastic, volume 10, number 11:

"And Portravus has no mage—" said mousy Herjes, looking as much frightened as worried. "Just a couple of hedge-wizards and some assorted Low Magick practitioners. And not a lot of money to spare to hire one."

1988, Mercedes Lackey, “Dragon's Teeth”, in Spell Singers, page 52:

“Hedge wizard” is a term that’s come up in my campaign to describe the proprietors of small “magic shops” in villages and cities in AD&D® campaigns. Hedge wizards specialize in minor but useful magicks, using spells like mending and knock rather than magic missile and irritation. Hedge wizards are usually low-level mages with sage and herbalist abilities.

1990 November, Gregg Sharp, “Hedge Wizards”, in Dragon, volume 15, number 6, page 19:

To the young hedge wizard, a wizard of only 5th level seems to be a mighty archmage.

2002, Mike Mearls, The Quintessential Wizard, page 11:

"I don't know of any great mage in the Bitterwood," Daene said. "Hedge-wizards aplenty, and weather-witches—every village has them."

He talked of magic, which she found interesting. She'd never spoken to a true wizard before. Hedge wizards, perhaps, but never someone as knowledgeable and powerful as a spire wizard.

(fantasy) An inferior wizard; a wizard of limited ability and little or no formal training.


rekita

Those who seek precious minerals believe that their fortune is made if get their hands on an alicanto as a guide, as it is sure to lead them to the discovery of some hidden treasure.

A giant bird of Chilean myth, associated with precious metals.

2017 May 7, loonyphoenix, “I was excited for a second”, in reddit.com:

Apart from going into titles that describe a being itself rather than assigning it a 'rank' (ex.: god, observer, master, etc.), I think you'll pretty much hit the ceiling at "Archemperor". After that, you may have to rely on your own creative etymology skills!

lichdom

He’s a mage who is turning to necromancy and working quietly toward his own lichdom.

1993, Ed Greenwood, Volo's Guide to the North, page 221:

Their souls are the cornerstone to his lichdom, the secret to eternal life—all stolen from those who lived in his city and served him.

2006, Ree Soesbee, The Crystal Chalice, page 113:
