“maybe if I throw a potential bride at Edric he might actually like me”

speaking of which I’m not sure if Torrhen has actually mentioned this to Edric or not in the AU’s timeline

I don’t think they get in contact often

[lord-of-the-barrens-blog]

I sent this gif to @peggyoung the other day and he’s so babby torrhen it’s unreal

Vikings | Sons of Ragnar

+ Bjorn Ironside + Ubbe + Hvitserk + Sigurd Snake in the Eye + Ivar the Boneless

I think the only one of his cousins Torrhen likes (from Oswell’s line) is probably Denys. 

As cold as he seems sometimes, a cute little kid will win him over. Edric is too perfect, Axel is too much trouble, but Denys is just a little babu with pinchable cheeks.

Torrhen is like:

“One was bad enough.”

LOOKKKKKK!!!!!!

I HAS A TWINNIE!!!!!!!!

@fiercefourthborn

FOLLOW HIMMMMMMMMM!

MAH GRYFFIE TWINNIE!

[lord-of-the-barrens-blog]

She had not looked at him yet. Her face had been buried in a stuffed rabbit doll given to her by her father ever since they had returned Grandfather’s body. It had been under a sheet, but the blood that soaked it was enough to let her know that his body was likely not in one piece. Fortunately she had only caught glances, but those glances had been enough to send her running to Greta. 

She prised her face away from the felt toy and finally looked at her uncle for the first time. She was instantly taken aback by the state of his face - bandaged, left eye wrapped with a leather patch. Her eyes widened as she studied the cuts and bruises that littered his form, then she found herself diving into his embrace.

“They took grandfather away,” she mumbled. “He said he would win and come back. He won, but... he didn’t come back.”

She pulled herself away, then studied Gryff’s face again.

“Is your eye going to be okay? Did they get it in the fight?” she pressed, staring warily at his maimed head. “I’m glad they didn’t get you. They got grandfather and that makes me sad, but it means father will come home to stay soon.I hope he rewards you for helping fight the bad men.” 

@lord-of-the-barrens

“Hey, Roslin…” Just looking down at her made the wish to kill that’s been raging in his chest die down, quite conveniently replaced with the wish to cry. He slowly got on one knee near the girl, clenching teeth to get a hold of himself before looking her in the eyes.

“I’m sorry this happened to fa- grandfather.” There was some hollow space inside of him, that just remained there. Hesitantly, he reached out to touch her shoulder, & that was awkward, & didn’t feel right at all, but something still made Gryff do this. He wanted to look calm, desperate not to give away what he truly felt, but deep inside knew she’d be able to read the guilt in his eye. “There was nothing… Nothing we could do…”

♥ ♜ ☣

♜ :My muse's best friend.

It absolutely has to be Alanna Snow. She’s stuck by him since they were kids through thick and thin. Their friendship has lasted over 20 years and it’s still going strong.

Other two were answered in another post : )

[lord-of-the-barrens-blog]

☢ and ☣ for the relationship meme? (I'd like to see a guy TORRHEN is afraid of, lol 😝)

☢ :Character my muse is afraid of.

As a child he feared his father, and as an adult I’d say he’s wary of Rodrik. He’s not stupid and knows Rodrik wouldn’t stop at anything to destroy him, so the 

☣ :Character my muse respects greatly.

Ser Arys Mount & Roose Bolton. The first is like a foster-uncle, and I would say he has a positive relationship with Roose. They’re not on bad terms and Roose has a certain leniency with Torrhen.

[lord-of-the-barrens-blog]

♗ & ♥?

 ♗ :Child!Character my muse would adopt.

He’s pretty much already adopted Myles Thornton : )

♥ :Weird ship I have for my muse.

I don’t really have any weird ships for Torrhen (unless you count Whitebole because it’s very unlikely which is part of the charm), so I can’t really answer this D :

[lord-of-the-barrens-blog]

🏨 - Sleeping position?

Usually on his side, but if he’s sharing a bed with someone he often sleeps on his back with his arm around their shoulder.

🍑 , 🍰, 🏠, 💐, 🏥, 🔎? (Sorry, I'm a sucker for those things with no self-control)

🍑 - Favorite fruit

🍰 - Do they eat healthy or do they like junk food?

Torrhen eats relatively healthily. He likes his meat and his carbs and keeps in shape. He used to eat more junk food in his youth but grew out of it, was slightly malnourished during his time squiring, but has fallen into a better diet following his marriage and return to Highpoint.

🏠 - What does their living space look like?

Torrhen and Greta’s chambers is probably very bare, with only the necessities. I imagine it’s quite a warm, cosy place at night, lit only by a small hearth set in the wall opposite the door. Despite being the Lord and Lady’s chamber I view it as being very modest, though it does have a balcony that looks out onto the barren land outside.

💐 - Favorite type of flower

I don’t think he has one at the moment, but when Karl Jr is older and starts picking flowers in the gardens to bring them back to his parents Torrhen would probably take a liking to rosemary because it has blue flowers like the Whitehill colours.

🏥 - Has they ever gotten seriously ill?

There was a brief scare during one of the Highpoint Greyscale Outbreaks where people thought Torrhen might’ve had it, but it was a false alarm. Aside from that he’s mostly had a clean bill of health - though mental health is a different dtory entirely.

🔎 - Random detail about them

Hmm... how about... Torrhen’s eyebrow scar was made when Ludd slapped him across the face with his big shiny ring?

[lord-of-the-barrens-blog]

🍭 - Do they have a sweet tooth?

🍭 - Do they have a sweet tooth?

I can see Torrhen having a sweet tooth when he was younger, but he’s probably more into savoury things nowadays. Roslin very likely inherited Torrhen’s childhood love of all things sweet, though.
