If you have noticed from my Goodreads account (or over on my currently reading box) then you know that lately I've been on a fantasy kick. Sure, I've seen the Lord of the Rings movies (and I will see the last of the Hobbit movie-even if I have to buy it!!) and fantasy has been with me since...well, since forever. I even play RPGs when I don't have homework to worry about (or studying for midterms....) But I thought since I have these photos saved, I thought I share why I love the Fantasy Genre.
Armor
The armor in the books (and video games) are beautifully written, and honestly makes me wanna make one of my own. These are my favorite ones (along with Aragorn's from the Return of the King). I sometime try and make my armor in Skyrim just like the ones I see in movies and books, but sometimes I have to work with what I have in the game...
Weapontry
I can literately sit here and type a whole blog post about weapons, but they are my favorite part-right next to armor. Swords, if you can tell, are my favorite weapon-you can swing, chop, do whatever you want with them. I also like axes-big iron axes. Have no idea why, but I do.
Dragons
Though I did a small post on Dragons, they are honestly my favorite race of them all. They can fly, they breathe fire...and honestly I want to Daenerys Targaryen just so I can be called the Mother of Dragons. That's it.
Races
There are the ton of races in fantasy and high fantasy novels. Dwarves, elves, haflings, humans, dragonborns....you can read about whoever you want-and you also get to read about going on a adventure with them. You get to read about the little war that goes in that world, like the many wars in Lord of the Rings and in The Hobbit.
Dresses
I know this one is a weird one, but it's true, really. I love how the ladies' dress in the books and movies. I really wanna find a way to make Sansa Stark's blue dress from I think season two or three of Game of Thrones. Also I wanna find a way to make Cersei Lannister's dress too. I really really do.
Now I have favorite novels in the genre, but my all time favorite book series are the Wheel of Time series, A Song of Ice and Fire (or Game of Thrones), The Lunar Chronicles (though it's a retelling of fairy tales, but all science fiction), the Forgotten Realms novels, The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, and the Dragonlance series.
I know I forgot the magic part, but maybe next time I'll post what I think about magic (because sometimes I wish I was a witch or a sorceress).
