History Of Westeros
About this episode

Thanks to Fire and Blood, we finally have a wide variety of canonically queer female characters. Alongside gushing about faves, we’ll talk the pros and cons of subtle vs explicit representation, the value of representation of queer female sexuality in Martin’s work, and any troublesome implications of specific character arcs. This panel is primarily book-focused, but we won’t leave the show behind! Panelists: Ash, Archmaester Aemma, Melanie Lot Seven, and Yoshi Targaryen.
