Greyjoy - Tumblr Posts
Honestly are the Starks the only formally royal family that doesn’t try to kill each other? I mean Jon Arryn got killed by his wife, who got killed by her husband, who’s more or less trying to kill her son.
Tyrion killed Tywin. And Cercei killed Lancel and Kevan and is responsible for Tommens death.
Stannis killed Renly and tried to kill Roberts basterds. And well burned Shireen alive and all.
And well the sand snakes are a mess in the show anyways, but killing Doran and Trystan. Really? And well there were several Greyjoy kings and the Greyjoys are really trying to kill each other. I mean Euron killed Harlon, Robin and Balon, fucked Victorians wife. Victorian wants to kill Euron for that. Balon is responsible for Rodrik and Marons deaths. Asha and Theon want to kill Euron. And Aeron just deserves a breat, after getting abused by Euron. Again.
This is so gorgeous. I want one, but do probably not want to pay for that one.
But to be fair I already have a few including this one (and the matching earrings), a wonderful gift from by finace.
But this is more Euron Style.

@owlsinathens Luca (Pixar 2021) I want those!
Cape Kraken Kraken Cape I wanted a House Greyjoy cloak, so I made one. Instruction for making one yourself down below.
Super easy Cape/Cloak Tutorial for beginners:
What materials you need:
For the cloak: -2m / 6ft 6 waterproof fabric that doesn’t need hemming
-Matching thread
-a oversized hood pattern (super easy to diy)
For the Kraken version you’ll additionally need:
-2m / 6ft6 gold trim
-gold thread, I used 2 spools à 2m/ 6ft 6 including embroidery
-2 buttons for eyes
The base cloak:
Cut a square of fabric using the width of your fabric. (folded on the picture)
Make a hood pattern by tracing a hood shape on paper, but make the bottom part of the hood have an extended piece of fabric, that will be used as closure later. You can make it as long as you want.
Use the remaining fabric to cut out 2 hood pieces.
Pin the hood pieces together leaving the straight side free and then sew the pinned pieces together aside from the straight side.
Fold your fabric square in half, you’ll need to cut out a small half circle on the edge where the fabric folds over. Measure your neck and use ¾ of that length to mark the sides of what your half circle cut out will be. Now combine the lines with a quarter circle and cut that circle out. This will give you the half circle where the hood will be attached.
Pin the hood to the fabric with the insides facing each other and sew the hood to the cloak.
If you simply want a cloak you can stop now for your friendly neighborhood’s watch style.
For the Kraken version you’ll need to trim the hood with gold. Fold the trim in half and pin the middle of the trim to the top of the hood where the seam is to get an even outcome. Then pin the trim along the hood leaving the rest of the trim to hang free so you can use it as a closure later. Sew the trim on.
Next lay the cloak flat on the floor and draw tentacles on it, than sew along the tentacle lines with gold thread.
For the eyes I needed some help, but you can eyeball it. I asked my mom to put the hood on so I could find the right spot to attach the eyes in a kraken looking way and then sewed them on.
If you want you can sew a beak. Trace a beak onto the base of the hood and sew it on.
Then I started on the suckers. You could make them in a different number of ways, using fabric color, sewing on buttons or beads or cutting out tentacles with a pre-embroidered fabric, but here’s how I did it through machine embroidery:
I used a zick-zack stitch to create little squares, lifted the foot and needle to move it further down the fabric where I made the next little square and I left the threat in between there. You could cut it off or sew a straight line between the squares, I just liked this visually the most.
This embroidery is the most time consuming part of the whole project.
And that’s it. You have a fancy Kraken Cloak now.
@owlsinathens Theon cloak? I thought. Theon cloak! I made. Balon would probably tell me I am a disgrace for the family.

@owlsinathens Next time we’re in a writing block, we’ll just have someone sent us this.
Write one sentence. Let it lead to another. It comes in waves.
Put a little Balon on top, so he has something to drown that actually deserves it =)
If I’m ever in Vienna I really need to go there, not for the beautifully looking aquarium - for the quid xD
