Or Stannis and Davos are standing back to back in amidst hundred of dead bodies with two knights circling them like vultures. The two knights kill Davos and Stannis at the same time and their bodies fall to the ground in one loud bang. 

Zuhair Murad Spring/Summer 2007

As an enormous army is surrounding Stannis and Team Dragonstone one knight breaks through the protection and kills everyone but Stannis and Davos. They take one look at each other and draw their swords. The knight kills Davos slowly in front of Stannis. His most fierce and loyal supporter…gone. Stannis then drops his sword, drops to his knees and the knight kills him with one quick strike.

History Meme | 2/8 Objects: 1920’s Dresses

1920’s Dresses were lighter and brighter and shorter than ever before. Fashion designers played with fabric colors, textures and patterns to create totally new styles of dress. Evening dresses, coats and jackets were often trimmed with fur. Hemlines rose for most of the decade but dropped slightly toward the end. Shoes and stockings assumed a greater prominence now that they were more visible. Silk stockings in all the colors of the rainbow, often with patterns, were designed to match the coordinated outfits of stylish women. (x)
