    A while back, this map was circulating reddit. It was a map where someone had drawn in wildly wrong flags to fill in a map of Europe. Most posts would lie and claim their kid or partner did it, others claimed the map was made by some troll trying to trigger people (which feels more likely). But...

    Still on a Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire kick. Hammered out this ending map for a fanfiction series over on ArchiveOfOurOwn. It is The North Remembers which is three fics about Sansa Stark changing the timeline of events by willfully wedding Tyrion and using her position as a...

    Firstly, you notice that upon Tywin’s death everything didn’t fall apart in the Westerlands. No one was rebelling or uprising because there was more than just fear of Tywin himself. We’re talking about the smallfolk here. Tywin’s schemes fell apart, his own dominion did not. We rarely ever get a...

    I’d say, based on actual medieval Europe, that peasants weren’t nearly so apathetic. They aggrandized and deified their lords, especially in times of plenty, and could be leery of “foreign” lords who have no knowledge of the people there. The name does a lot, especially in Westerosi society...

    Well firstly the Boltons weren’t entirely without allies, and they had plenty of men. And the Boltons are one of the North’s oldest houses. The smallfolk respect such traditions, and Sansa can’t just kill every Bolton loyalist. The idea is that she originally gave it to House Poole, but Jeyne...

    That could work. I might bust out the Book version of the Stark sigil for that. Oh yeah it was unbearably stupid and countrary to his plans for Sansa. I’m just trying to find a way to reconcile the Show and Book. It totally doesn’t fit his MO either, since Littlefinger seeks to destabilize...

    Working on something Game of Thrones/ASOIAF related. Using a basemap by @targy793, who may not be on the site anymore. The basis is a fusion of Show and Book, taking many things from book lore but arriving at a similar ending as seen in the show. This is a map that will feature the Kingdom of...

    Yamato Republic 大和共和国 (Yamato Kyōwakoku) Normally I'd post an obnoxiously long description, but I'm squeaking in past the entry times anyways. Basic idea: isolationist monarchy leads a very different Boshin War analogue against a Pro-Western Tokugawa Shogunate. The Shogunate receives foreign...

    Red State: A Confederate Timeline by Xanthoc

    The British wouldn't really care about that land at this point. Control of the Puget is more important, and the entire reason Washington is cut-off is because of native raiding in the West.

    Yknow that is a decent idea. I've got back and made a small retcon. I've updated the map and the last Part to recognize that the sale was only to the 47th Parallel North, with southern Washington folded into Oregon.

    That rat bastard Pendleton backstabbed Polk’s memory and sold it to the British for a penance to become their vassal! All because he failed to put down the damn indians and couldn’t afford to pay the war reparations for a war he made the Union surrender in! Or wait... Maybe he just recognize...

    Red State: A Confederate Timeline by Xanthoc

    The essay is colored by the writer's knowledge of the future. However, Texas was indeed split between Confederate sympathizers and people who wanted to restore the Republic of Texas, and the divide remained, though not very strong. Several prominent historians have written on this, with a key...
