Up For Anything

Hey y'all, I'm back at it again with another installment for the #BeThronesCertified event! For this blog, I decided to make a moodboard for one of the Yara ships that I like!

The aforementioned ship is Yara x Daenerys. This isn't going to be a long rambling post as to why it's the best ship (because there are plenty of great ships), but more so an appreciation post of why I find the dynamic interesting!

The main reason why I ship Yara and Daenerys is their interaction in season 6. Yes, that interaction. When I first watched that scene, I actually had to rewind it to watch it a second time because it was that dumbfounding! The look that Daenerys gives Yara? It shocked me beyond belief. The chemistry in that scene was tangible. With Daenerys being the main female lead, I knew there was no way that they'd pair her with a female character if any character at all. Perhaps that's why the dialogue and the chemistry between the characters was so surprising.

Moving on to another point is that when Daenerys tells Yara that there will be no more raiding and reaving, the kraken hardly puts up a fight about it. She merely says "That's our way of life", but then immediately agrees that the Ironborn way would end. Personally, it spoke volumes that without even consulting her people, that Yara would make that executive decision to appease Daenerys and seal their deal. It seemed out of character, but also like quite a romantic notion.

Finally, for the moodboard. I tried to find pictures that I felt would convey a relationship between the two in the way that it was displayed to us in the show. More flirtatious and innocent rather than something driven from primal needs, power, or alliance. Mostly I wanted the moodboard to show bits of their personalities or symbols for both of them, and have it as a piece that flowed nicely together, as if difficult to tell where one ended and the other began.

All pictures used were sourced from Tumblr or Google. Applications used for editing and making the moodboard are PicsArt and InCollage. Total time taken for editing and writing the blog was about an hour and half to two hours. Hope y'all enjoy my crackship!
