The Silent Sisters Podcast Silent Sisters

Looking forwards into 2024, we the Silent Sisters decided to look back at the year of 2023 for us. In this episode, we use the discussion of topics like technology, fanfiction, books, movies, TV shows, and more, to warm up for future episodes coming down the pipeline. At the same time, we took the opportunity to explore new soft- and hardware for recording. As a result, the audio quality is not up to our usual standards but we learned a lot and are ready to move forward.

Happy holidays, dear novices! The Sisters are taking some much needed chilltime for a very indulgent episode of one of our favorite ASOIAF topics: how amazing is Sansa Stark!?! Join us as we break down Sansa VI, AGOT, and her rising from the ashes of her father's execution and the completion of her book one arc. Of course, we couldn't forget about Sandor Clegane and the formation of an unlikely allyship in the face of abuse. His advice as a fellow survivor of IPV is important, but its listening to her own inner voice is a true moment of personal triumph over the king and his lackeys. And just one person showing they care in our darkest moments sometimes is all it takes to keep us from going over the edge.

It's been 85 days since we at the Silent Sisters began their spontaneous coverage of House of the Dragon. In those 12 weeks, we have released 12 episodes and woo! it has been a feat. But our coverage doesn't end there. This week we are joined by fandom creative and staple of the cosplay community, Meghan of Birdie Dee Costumes! In this all-encompasing Season 1 wrap-up episode, we talk about each end of the spectrum in a variety of categories such as but not limited to Characters and Moments. We also dove into, not for the first time and not for the last time either, sexual violence in the House of the Dragon and how Season One has held up to Producer and Writer Sara Hess' claim that they do not show sexual violence. However, considering who our guest is, how could we not talk about the costumes for House of the Dragon!? We dive in to themes, the best dresses, and even the controversies surrounding these stunning garmets. Links to referenced in the show: Harper's Bazaar Interview with Jany Temime. Links to photos for comparisons only. We are not endorsing any business. Alicent's Green Dress vs Bernadette Banner's Dress. Banner's video making the dress. Rhaenyra's Hunting Coat vs The Armstreet "Red Riding Hood" Coat. Daemon's Tunic vs This Popular LARP Tunic (Please, DO NOT BUY from this link. It is a cheap knock off from the original seller who no longer lists the item).

How did we get to the end so fast? "The Black Queen" has finally arrived, and to help us ring in the season finale, we have our dear friend, Steven Stark, founder of the Here Be Dragons youtube channel and slack community. Join us as we discuss the audience as Mushroom, the fool court chronicler of Fire & Blood, and House Velaryon as the "swing house" and deciding factor in the black's response to Aegon's ascension. One thing is for sure, Princess Rhaenys was the key player in so many instances that we dubbed her "The Queenmaker" this episode. Rhaenyra has been crowned, men have sworn fealty to her, but that doesn't make the patriarchy magically disappear in her camp. It's a rough first 24 hours on the job for Rhaenyra, starting with grief over the deaths of her father and daughter, but also a tug-o-war for power with her Queen Consort. Clearly, Daemon had expectations of being the real shot caller behind the throne, which unfortunately leads to domestic violence. Finally, we get into the climactic horror of Arrax vs Vhaegar, how it happened, the theme of revenge and instant regret. Yep, Aemond really shit the bed this time, because he just unleashed The Black Queen. All this and more with Steven Stark as we unpack the harrowing finale to an amazing season of top tier television!

As our title suggests, we the Silent Sisters and their guest, artist Fox and Brambles, focus on four main parties: Rhaenys, the queen who never was, Alicent, the queen of Westeros, Viserys, the king of Westeros, and Daemon, the former and temporary king of the narrow sea. Beware, it is a heavy episode where we discuss losing loved ones in light of losing Viserys and we also examine Alicent's reactions to Prince Aegon raping a serving girl.
