To The Stars Through Westeros


Thanks to the Reddit user boo-yay, we now have a Westeros-esque sigil for every state of the union.  House Kansas, as you can see above, utilizes our state motto, "Ad Astra Per Aspera".  The unicorn is, of course, a reflection of the widespread worship of Ehlonna in most parts of eastern Kansas.  Here are some more Kansas/Game of Thrones metaphors:





Johnson County = Casterly Rock:  Rich?  Check.  Perceived as arrogant?  Check.  Sisters and brothers sleeping together?  Nope, that's Missouri.



BTK = Ramsay Bolton: Do they both like to torture?  Um, yeah, that's the "T" in BTK.  Were they both in law enforcement?  Sure, Bolton Jr. was given enforcement tasks by dear ol' dad.

KU College Republicans = Brotherhood Without Banners:  They fight the good fight surrounded by a host of enemies...they are few and the odds are bad.  They sometimes return from the dead?  Yes, actually, I saw it happen in 1993.




The City of Topeka = Hodor:  Both incapable of rational thought, difficult to understand, and frumpy.  Biggest Difference:  Hodor is well-intentioned.



Kansas Cowboys = Wildlings/Free Folk:  Keeping it real beyond the civilized parts...keeping it real beyond the Wall.



Wilt Chamberlain = Gregor Clegane: The Mountain That Rebounds vs. The Mountain That Rides
