Octobie 🎸

You both prefer to shop at the local grocer that has been passed down through generations. It's cozy and homely without all the harsh white fluorescent lights that whir, and the god awful brutalist corporate designs. Instead, the place smells of freshly baked cinnamon bread, and the interior feels like it's been well loved and taken care of through the years.

Hobie comes here ever since he was a kid, he practically grew up in the place and even worked in it when he was younger. And so far, you've made it your home too. Everyone knows you by name, and you know everyone. But every time you accompany him to the store, he needs to corral you away from buying things that are definitely not in the list. Mostly its sweets, or a glass cleaner that looks awfully like pink lemonade. He lets you indulge of course, who could say no to you whenever you flash those puppy dog eyes at him? But this time, there's no winning the battle nor the war with all the autumn themed merchandise on display.

He knows the moment you step into the double doors that you'll be whisked away towards the decorations in front like some old timey cartoon character who floats in the air with hearts in their eyes when a pie is near.

His hand holds your own in an attempt to guide you away from the soft orange and browns of the display, but there's no winning when there's a free taste stand right next to it.

“Hobie!” You tug him towards Cynthia, who's wearing an orange apron with a pumpkin on it. She immediately smiles and waves you over, gloved hand already procuring a sample of whatever cinnamon smelled sweet she has. “They brought it back for the season!”

“It's not goin’ anywhere, love.” He can't help but chuckle at your determined face as you continue to practically drag him on the floor. His boots add weight, you know.

“They might run out of them!” You sniff at the tray full of sweetened tiny pieces of said pastry. It's still warm, and the melting sugar on top makes your mouth water. “They look so good.” You gasp, hand still holding Hobie's.

“Remember, love, we only came for toothpaste and bread.”

“This is bread, Hobie.” You smirk, and Hobie sighs in endearment at your excitement. “Besides, it's free! Right, Cynthia?”

“Absolutely, if you like it gramps is baking a new batch right now and it'll be finished in just a few.” She answers, already giving you a couple of samples to share with Hobie. “Hey, kid, how's the band going?” She addresses Him with a bright smile.

“They’re good, Ned wants to say thanks for the tip with the mechanic.”

“No worries.” Cynthia waves him off while you munch on the pastry. Hobie eyes how you eat both samples with gusto. “Flash is a dick anyway, he needed a reality check with his prices— careful, sweetheart, you might choke.” Chuckling, she hands you a napkin and you promptly wipe your lips free of sugar and crumbs.

“‘Hanks!” You mumble while still chewing. Turning to face Hobie, swallowing, you smile at his amused grin. “We need a box of these right now or I'll eat the whole tray.”

Wiping cinnamon dust off the corner of your lips with his thumb, Hobie rubs it on your shirt collar teasingly. “That's for eatin’ my sample.”

You shake your head with a lopsided grin, “Wasted opportunity, Hobs.” Hobie raises his brow questioningly. But before he could ask what you meant, you're already thanking Cynthia while you whisk him away towards the whole aisle that contains all the autumn and Halloween decorations.

Hobie pulls you mid stride, your trainers squeak against the tiles, and your back meets his chest. “What did you mean by that, hm?” He whispers in your ear as you hobble towards the aisle with his warm arms around you.

“Nothing.” You say in a sing-song tone.

“Nothin'?” He nudges your temple with his nose, and you ignore him as you take a pumpkin shaped pillow, squeezing it in your hands. He snatches the pillow from you and places it on the top shelf where you can't reach it. “Nothin' isn't just nothin’ with you, lovie.”

“Hey!” Huffing, you tilt your head back, facing him as he looks at you with softness akin to the pillow you were just holding. You look at him through your lashes, smile getting wider every time his eyes narrow at you accusingly. “I don't know what you're talking about.”

“Tell me and I'll let you buy one thing in this aisle.” He jokes with a ghost of a smile.

“Let me?!” You scoff, twisting around to face him properly. With your palms on his chest you pat him to the rhythm of the pop song that's playing in the speakers. “You know damn well that I will buy this entire aisle just to spite you.”

He chuckles as he cups your cheeks. “You'll go bankrupt.” He got the right reaction from you.

“I don't care, I'm supporting a family business.” You raise your nose at him, and he squeezes your nose in between his fingers.

He bets that if he kisses you right now he'll be able to taste the cinnamon on your lips. “C’mon, what did I waste?”

You grab his wrist to pull his hand away from your nose, giggling at his stubbornness. “You really want to know?”

“No, I don't.” He says sarcastically.

“Fine,” you mimic his tone. “What I meant back there was that, you should've tried the frosting when you wiped it from my lip.”

Hobie's smile widens, and he guffaws so loudly that it echoes around the whole store. There might not be a lot of people shopping right now but you still put your palm on his mouth to quiet his laughter even though you love his laugh to bits. You practically did it against your will so you two don't get kicked out like what happened a year ago. You still cringe whenever you remember it.

“Stop laughing!” You say while giggling. His laughter is muffled under your hand. Arms wrap around your waist, and he leads you towards the autumn scented candles further down the aisle. “Where are you taking me?” Looking over your shoulder, you smile affectionately at his wordless gesture.

“Or you could've fed me my share of the sample instead of eatin’ it all.” Hobie moves his head back to remove your hand away from his mouth all without taking his hands off of your waist. “You read too many romance novels, love.” He teases, he loves it when you read it to him whenever he wants to fill the silence.

“Apparently not a lot.” You lean closer to peck his jaw chastely. “It got you weak in the knees though, right?”

He can't deny how his heartbeat quickened ten fold when you suggested it. He'll tuck that idea you gave him in his mind and maybe he'll do it when you least expect it. “Go sniff your bloody candles.”

“Such a romantic.” You pat his cheek before you turn towards the glass candles. As you sniff at a pinkish candle, you hear shuffling from behind you. “You know that I have to get that pillow, right?”

Something soft and orange hits the side of your face, “and we still need toothpaste or we'll start brushing our teeth with your candles.” He says as you squeal and cuddle the pumpkin throw pillow all the while wanting to kiss him right in the middle of the aisle.

hi I don’t know if you still do request tumblr prompts, but if you’ve lurked in the jonsa tag there was this post shared about a person asking if an adopted son can marry the daughter of the family that adopted him and I was wondering if, inspired and have time. Could you share a dabble or even dialogues with that in mind?. I don’t know, maybe literal conte yes or Jon posting this and people find out it’s him, anything really haha

Oh nonny, why not?

Aragorn married Arwen, though.

The first one to approach him, if one would believe it, is Rickon.

Jon was there when Rickon was born, small, shrieking and red haired. He had been there keeping hold on Arya to avoid she jumped on all the furniture of the hospital room in her excitement.

His little brother leans closer to him a couple of days after as he swings his backpack on his shoulder and as he munches on a protein bar, “Yes” he whispers, his breath smells of nuts, without offering further explanation. Then he smirks like Theon does when he’s about to whore his way out of some mess, and leaves.

Jon remains awestruck, and uncertain, on his feet at the isle of the Stark’s kitchen. He isn’t usually home this hour of the day, not since he’s moved out, but Ned needed helped with the tree-house and Jon needed a day off to get his hands dirty anyway.

Ned keeps looking at him strange all day, and Catelyn studies him with a knowing grin from the kitchen window, and when she brings out some apple pie for them during mid-morning, she takes great care to state that Sansa made it, with much love.

Jon chokes on empty air.

Ned is helpful enough, despite the way he has looked him all morning, to pat him on the back and tell him something that should sound wise and resigned but make Jon only feel uncomfortable.

He’s never been uncomfortable since the Stark officially adopted him when he was fifteen; and after helping set the table he skips — two steps at time — upstairs to find refuge in his old room.

Bran is there. Bran’s mischievous grin, as if he has Jon precisely where he wants him, makes him almost bolt for the door. But Bran is smart, and that wheeled chair is more flexible than he thought because he manages to reach him and knock him on the bed by grabbing him by the hem of his shirt.

“So,” Bran says “you want to marry Sansa, and have her babies. Or would she have yours?” he questions.

And that’s how he learns that all the Starks (barred Arya who is in Braavos for a fencing competition and Sansa who’s in the Vale busy with fashion school) have read his post.

Fuck.

“Would it make you want to hit me less if it was Arya?” he tries to smooth the tension that Bran has unnecessarily created.

Bran’ eyes narrow, “You want to marry my sister, have her babies or she yours; and you want to cheat on her with my other sister?” he demands and Bran can be pretty scary when he wants to, okay? He takes it after Catelyn.

“No…” Jon practically squeaks, and when Bran cocks his head on the side he hastens to add “no one is having anyone babies!”

“Yet!” Catelyn shouts from downstairs, “and until that is true, come down, lunch is ready!”

Bran snickers as Jon helps him down, “And I would not cheat on her,” Jon tells him, offended.

Bran doesn’t stop snickering and Ned is making a very peculiar expression where he’s sat at the head of the table.

“Don’t worry dear,” Catelyn tells him as she pats him on the head as she did when he was a child, “Sansa doesn’t know, yet”

Jon looks helplessly at Ned, his bastion. His father.

Ned just takes a deep breath, and stands up abruptly “We need something stronger than water for this” he states, moving toward his liquor cabinet.

“Eddard Stark stop there!” Catelyn shouts, “Doctor Luwin said…”

“I don’t care what Doctor Luwin said, woman” Ned replies “our son needs it, and to be frank, so do I”

What follows is perhaps the most uncomfortable lunch since that time that aunt Lysa’ new partner Petyr Baelish came visiting after uncle Jon’s death.

In the end though Catelyn sends him off with enough food to last him a week and promises him everything will be fine, “We knew,” she tells him and at Jon’ doubtful look she smiles, “I knew,” she amends, “and perhaps Bran, that kid knows far more than he tells. And Rickon is more perceptive that you’d think… perhaps, only Robb and Ned were not in the known”

Jon wants the earth to swallow him up, “And Sansa, but Sansa is always wilfully blind when it comes to you, so”

“Can we… pretend this never happened?” he pleads. Catelyn never looked more motherly.

“Of course dear, whatever you need”

But since Jon is an unlucky bastard, of course they can’t.

Arya just sends him a text, “My sister? You can do better” and then adds “actually, so can she” but then sends him a married cat couple sticker and they don’t speak of it further.

So perhaps they can really pretend it never happened.

Only, they can’t.

Robb ambushes him outside of his work, when Jon really thought that perhaps he had not given the matter any thought.

“We need to talk” straightforward as always.

“I’ve had a horrendous day, Robb. Can we save this for another time?”

“It’s about Sansa,”

Jon’ patience has grown thin since Rickon has kept pestering him asking to be flower boy.

As if he isn’t taller than him, to Jon’ vast dismay, and looks like he’s twenty-four and not sixteen.

And Bran keeps questioning his intentions.

And Arya hasn’t stopped sending him nauseated gifs all day long.

Even bloody Theon knows. And he and Catelyn keep trying to reign in the others by teaming up in their effort to tease the hell out of him.

He’d like to smash Theon’ face in, since his foster brother had once the very same problem when it came to Sansa. He’s been restless. Always making importune questions at the most importune times.

“Yes I’m in love with her, no she doesn’t know. No, no one is having anyone’s babies and no I would never cheat on her,” he lashes out, walking around Robb and completely missing his brother’ grin and the glint in his blue eyes.

“Wait a moment, Sans, I’m going to put you on speaker,”

And if Jon believed he has ever been embarrassed. Well… he was wrong. He now is properly embarrassed.

“That’s very comforting to hear Jon,” Sansa tells him from the speaker “it means Robb and I’s ten year plan to get you to fall in love with me has finally born some fruit,”

There’s blinding light and then Jon is beaming, grabbing the phone from Robb’ hand as his brother grins like a Cheshire Cat.

That very same night there’s Sansa comment under his question, pinned above all other comments (all kind of comments and Jon is quite offended by some of them).

There’s a particularly nasty one that almost knocks the breath out of him and Jon is on the point to delete the whole thing altogether despite being too giddy to do anything now that he knows Sansa actually returned his feelings.

Aragorn married Arwen, though💅—SStark🍋

Because there isn’t much more to say to that, is there? Gods. Jon loves this woman.

Sooo nonny! Hope you enjoyed!

Sending all my love ~ G.

Was Gendry jealous of Edric Dayne in ASOS?

Not in a romantic sense, that's not the nature of their relationship at this point, with Arya ten years old and absolutely uninterested in that kind of stuff, and Gendry 14 or older. But he's irritated along the same lines that there has been tension between them since ACOK, which centers around class boundaries.

Arya occupies a contradictory role, being both a plucky, clever survivor, "the only one who's good for anything" out of their original ragtag bunch of kids who survived past Yoren's death, and the only one still around once Hot Pie left. At the same time, and this comes to the fore in ACOK, she is of the highest nobility, a home and protection waiting for her (in theory), and it informs how she treats him and the others, with an occasional sense of entitlement.

Gendry goes through an arc of finding his feet politically, from "what does it matter who I smith for?" to offering his skills and his loyalty to the Brotherhood Without Banners specifically because of the values they stand for then: justice for the smallfolk. Meanwhile, they come across evidence of vicious cruelty by Arya's people same as the Lannister army and it causes tension under the surface. When Gendry calls her his sister at the Peach and Arya objects, he assumes it's down to class differences even though Arya gave no indication of it then, while later playing up how he could have smithed for her family instead of the Brotherhood from atop her high horse when her feelings are hurt. When she is put into a pretty dress by Lady Smallwood, Gendry feels compelled to tease her and comment on her "proper" look. It brothers him. He likes when she wrestles with him and messes up her dress and behavior. It means something to him that this highborn girl fits in his world better than hers.

Arya and Ned have an equal social status and Arya immediately adjusts her behavior to something more formal. Gendry is bothered again. Not because of romantic jealousy but because it's a blatant reminder that while Arya and Ned can enter his world, while he and Ned can belong to the same Brotherhood, he is locked out of their world.

The conversation about fathers and bastards (while primarily about Jon and hinting at RLJ) once again plays with the unknown fact of Gendry's royal paternity. Which changes nothing about his status. Bella at the brothel was openly rumored to be Robert's daughter and still only a prostitute. Even if Gendry knew, he would not be part of their world. Even less so, now. He admires Arya personally but he also hates part of what she stands for. In that moment, she and Ned are the only target he has for addressing these conflicting emotions about his unknown father, about the social and political injustice in their world.

When Arya disappears, Gendry ends up at the forge at the Crossroads Inn, helping the Heddle girls care for war orphans. Quite a turn from the guy who had wanted to abandon Lommy, Hot Pie and Weasel in the woods way back. This guy can't be pleased with what the Brotherhood has turned into. Reconnecting with him is going to open up some fascinating political self-reflection for Arya, and I really mourn the dropped five-year-gap for specifically this plotline, which can no longer play out in all its potentially romantic complexity because Arya remains a pre-teen child.

Canberra to Melbourne Road Trip: Quirky Stopping Places.

ROAD TRIP: CANBERRA to MELBOURNE.  Approximately 7 hours in total (including photo opportunities and rest stops).

As we began to put together our Australia trip plans, we always thought this leg of the trip would have either been by bus/coach, train or a flight directly into Melbourne - more so after discovering the length of time the bus or train took by comparison with each other....

So, when my stepson and daughter in law said they fancied coming with us for the 4 nights we had booked in Melbourne and that we could all travel together by car, it was a perfect opportunity as well as a nice surprise!

---------------------------------------

We left Canberra at around 10:30hrs, first of all passing through and stopping at Gundagai to grab a comfort break and a snack, as none of us had taken breakfast before we left our accommodation.

GUNDAGAI - our first stop:

The Dog on the Tuckerbox monument was erected in 1932 as part of 'Back to Gundagai' week, and a large crowd "gathered to her again" to witness the unveiling by Prime Minister Joseph Lyons on 28 November 1932. 

It was planned to donate money placed in the wishing well at the base of the monument to the Gundagai District Hospital.  A souvenir shop was also opened nearby. Copyright on the monument was vested in the Gundagai Hospital, who for many years received a useful income from receipt of royalties from firms using the iconic image.

HOLBROOK:

Next, we were back on the highway, pointing ourselves in the direction of Holbrook. 

Now, if you haven't heard or visited this place, you may be just as surprised as we were to find something very unusual so far inland....  

Holbrook is a small town on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people in Southern New South Wales, Australia.  

It's on the Hume Highway, some 384 kms by road North-East of Melbourne and 492 kms south-west of Sydney between Tarcutta and Albury (also our next stop, containing further oddities). 

Take a look at my YouTubeShort video below:

Is the Holbrook submarine real? You bet it is - take a read of the story: [GO THERE]

---------------------------------------

ALBURY:

NEXT STOP: Table Top on the outskirts of Albury.

Here's where we found the Ettamogah Pub you can ream more about it on Wikipedia through the blue link), it also homes a light aircraft, some great signage and - we got locked inside a makeshift prison!

QUIRKY things to see at the Ettamogah Pub, one of our road trip stopping places.

There were some rather large spider webs inside our jail cell, so we found.

That's after my stepson had shut inside, and telling us once we were in there - not to touch anything or stick our hands inside any holes in the wood!

ALBURY well and truly behind us, we finally reach ACT (Australian Capital Territory) and began edging our way into Melbourne.  

---------------------------------------

NEXT STOP - BEECHWORTH:

Photos First:

Beechworth, Victoria, ACT Ausratlia: a town made famous by the notorious Ned Kelly and his gang.

How much gold was found there then?

Over four million ounces of gold (115 tonnes or approximately 2 billion Australian dollars, based on 1997 prices) were found in the first 14 years from discovery in 1852. 

ABOUT BEECHWORTH:

Beechworth is a carefully and tastefully preserved 19th century gold mining town which has become one of Victoria's most popular historic goldrush experiences. It has over 30 National Trust-listed buildings, most of which have been well preserved. 

Is there more to Beechworth we need to know about? There is indeed, you can read more in the blue link here. And, there's a list!

Gold

a new Court House

killings

the Ned Kelly Gang descends

rioting

the first Train arrives and lastly;

the cost of Meat Pie rises to $0.23c.

--------------------------------------- It was starting to get a bit late in the day now and we really wanted to try to aim for Melbourne before darkness fully descended upon us.

One more comfort break and we eventually made it to our final destination at around 17:00hrs.

WE MADE IT - HELLO MELBOURNE!

We loved the views from the accommodation we'd chosen, purely for the location being close to Flinders Street Station as it was a place we needed to visit - a meeting place from long ago, for some of our new relatives, whom we had only recently met.

Take a look at the video above, our very first morning waking up. Looking down upon the city, the train network and the river. We definitely were immensely pleased we had added Melbourne to our travel trip list. It looked very futuristic!

---------------------------------------

ACCOMMODATION IN MELBOURNE:

We stayed at Aura on Flinders serviced apartments (booked through Booking dot com for our last 4 nights of this road trip). 

The view above is from our 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment on the 14th floor.

That's it - we're all done here! --------------------------------------- All photos / video are by me, Shell  (HaveCamera_WillTravel / Thulborn-Chapman Photography).

Game of Thrones - 44 SANSA III (pages 455-462)

Sansa and Jeyne manage to sneak in a bit of time to act their age, Sansa and Arya have a blow out that pushes Sansa passed her threshold for suffering abuse silently, and Ned tells the Stark girls they are going home in the least helpful way possible while Sansa accidentally solves one massive portion of Ned's murder investigation.

The reader, officially turning another year older, faces the daunting march or mortality.

-

Her father's decision still bewildered her. When the Knight of Flowers had spoken up, she'd been sure she was about to see one of Old Nan's stories come to life. Ser Gregor was the monster and Ser Loras was the true hero who would slay him.

Oh hon, Loras would be crushed like a flower without the wiggle room of a tourney to give him tricks to gain advantage. If Sandor hadn't stepped in back then, he'd already be dead. Come on sweetheart, you know this. Urgh, curse your hyper-fixation with romantic stories clouding your perceptions of reality.

Although can we talk about the fact that- oh no, never mind, Ned's already made the call to send them back, of course he's not going to do a good parenting job and talk trough his decisions with Sansa so she can begin to understand what kind of pressures her future husband might be under when he takes petitions, and what kind of choices he has to make and things he must consider, of course Ned's not going to educate Sansa in any manner so she can begin to understand how to better support her husband, she's just there to look pretty and get bred. Maybe seal an alliance if she's extra lucky.

He had touched her cheek, his thumb lightly tracing the line of a cheekbone. "Life is not a song, sweetling. You may learn that one day to your sorrow." Sansa did not feel like telling all that to Jeyne, however; it made her uneasy just to think back on it.

BAD TOUCH!!! Ewww, Petyr Baelish belongs on an offenders registry, and we all know which one.

Sansa shuddered. Every time she looked at Ser Ilyn Payne, she shivered. He made her feel as though something dead were slithering over her naked skin. "Ser Ilyn's almost like a second monster, I'm glad father didn't pick him."

Good instincts, pity she doesn't understand they're telling her to GTFO.

Beric Dondarrion was handsome enough , but he was awfully old, almost twenty-two;

...OUCH. Excuse me, I need to go lie down, my Ancient and crumbling body of Pre-historic Age needs a moment.

"I'm sure I don't know why Arya does anything." Sansa hated stables, smelly places full of manure and flies. Even when she went riding, she liked the boy to saddle the horse and bring bit to her in the yard.

Yeah, see, there it is again. That repulsion for dirty things and smells, there's also an undercurrent in the way she talks about the pageantry of the southern court, it really does vibe like Sansa has a sensory thing.

Jeyne yawned. "Are there any lemon cakes?" Sansa did not like being interrupted, but she had to admit, lemon cakes sounded more interesting than most of what had gone on in the throne room. "Let's see," she said. The kitchen yielded no lemon cakes, but they did find half a cold strawberry pie, and that was almost as good. They ate it on the tower steps, giggling and gossiping and sharing secrets, and Sansa went to bed that night feeling almost as wicked as Arya.

omg that's so cute, look at these eleven year olds sneaking half a pie and being girls. This is going to hurt so much later. 🙃

🍋🍋🍋=🥛🥛🥛

Arya screwed her face up in a scowl. "Jaime Lannister murdered Jory and Heward and Wyl, and the Hound murdered Mycah. Somebody should have beheaded them." "I's not the same," Sansa said. "The Hound is Joffrey's sworn shield. Your butcher's boy attacked the prince."

Mmmm, that's not quite how it happened, but how many times has Sansa told herself a specific version of events in her head to cope with what happened, to deal with the fact that she's engaged to someone who was fully prepared to murder her sister and a peasant boy, she might actually believe it by now.

She's also right though, it's not the same. Ned can actually do something about this situation, politically it's tricky, but he has the time, power, and wiggle room to at least make the attempt to stop Gregor.

When she saw what the fruit in her lap had done to her beautiful ivory silk dress, she shrieked. "You're horrible," she screamed at her sister. "They should have killed you instead of Lady!" ... Sansa stalked away with her head up. She was to be a queen, and queens did not cry. At least not where people could see. When she reached her bed chamber, she barred the door and took off her dress. The blood orange had left a blotchy red stain on the silk. "I hate her!" she screamed. She balled up the dress and flung it into the cold hearth, on top of the ashes of last night's fire. When she saw that the stain had bled through onto her underskirt, she began to sob despite herself. She ripped off the rest of her clothes wildly, threw herself into bed, and cried herself to sleep.

Speaking as a sibling, I can tell you all that this is unfortunately not unheard of behaviour between siblings.

But also this is absolutely not about the dress being ruined, the dress being ruined was just the straw that broke the camels back. Sansa has not been okay since the trident, and she has been keeping it together so admirably through sheer determination and an unhealthy amount of disassociation.

Arya got to talk to her dad a bit, got to have it out and face what she was feeling with what happened, but no one has given two shits about Sansa's state of mind.

"Oh she's so well behaved we don't need to worry about her," is literally the phrase that gets so many people, including a significant number of older siblings, marched to the edge of a full mental breakdown. Sansa needs therapy, just because no one is helping her face the trauma she's been experiencing, some of which - looking at you Petyr - she doesn't even understand she's experiencing.

FURTHER MORE- why am I having flashbacks to Sansa's first period in the tv show?

Sansa sat up. "Lady," she whispered. For a moment it was as if the direwolf was there in the room, looking at her with those golden eyes, sad and knowing. She had been dreaming, she realized. Lady was with her, and they were running together, and... and... trying to remember was like trying to catch the rain with her fingers. The dream faded, and Lady was dead again.

... Someone, please help this girl. She is Going Through Some Stuff.

But also was that a real Wolf Dream? or just a dream about Lady who had just been brought up? If it was real, how? Were they just running in the dream realm, or did they astral project into the real world, or did they hijack someone else's paws?

"Arya started it," Sansa said quickly, anxious to have the first word. ... Arya raised her eyes. "I'm sorry father. I was wrong and I beg my sweet sister's forgiveness."

Oh I know that feels. There were so many times in school, who ever spoke first some how had this... it was like speaking first some how made your version of events truer in the teachers' eyes, more valid. Except for a few people, who were always in the wrong even when they never actually did anything wrong because they were the teacher's least favourite. ... You are but words on the page and yet I can hear your insincerity from here Arya.

- they were going to send her back to the bleak grey walls of Winterfell and lock her up forever. Her life was over before it had begun.

On the one hand, oh sweetheart you are such a melodramatic little thing. There's more to life, I promise you, yes I know it is your special interest, but still.

But on the other hand: She has a point. GRRM doesn't give the Northerners a lot of colour or depth. (at least he hasn't thus far in the text.) Northern "cultural practices" are basically 'being stoic' and 'frost resistant.'

Random Pushing Daisies thoughts and fic ideas. These are so olddddddd I think they’ve been buried in my notes app for 5 years or so, but I might as well share them anyway! Pls tag me if you’re inspired by these and write anything 💜

1. Imagine moving into a new apartment and meeting Ned when he brings you a 'welcome new neighbor' pie that he made just for you. He keeps finding more excuses to bring you pie, and a special bond is formed until he offers you a job at the Pie Hole, while trying to build up the courage to ask you on a date.

2. Imagine opening up a cupcake shop down the street from the Pie Hole, and you bring Ned a box of specially made cupcakes as a friendly gift. Ned offers you some pie in return, and soon you and the pie maker find excuses to meet by delivering home baked goods to each other, until one of you finally builds up the courage to ask the other out on a date.

3. Imagine getting hired as a new waitress at the Pie Hole and trying to cheer up Ned after Chuck breaks up with him and leaves Couer d'Couers to get a fresh new start at life. Over time, you mend his broken heart and he ends up falling for you instead.

4. Imagine working at the Pie Hole and singing with Olive while you're both cleaning up after closing time.

5. Imagine Digby sneaking out of the Pie Hole while Ned is on a case and following you everywhere you go. You spend hours searching for his owner, eventually returning him to a grateful and worried sick Pie Maker, who repays you with a free piece of pie and a job offer.

6. Imagine Ned stress baking because he is jealous of his step brothers when they flirt with you and use magic tricks to try to impress you. What he doesn't know is that you have a crush on him.

7. Imagine working at the Pie Hole and Ned letting you stay with him in his apartment after he finds out you have no other place to go and have been secretly sleeping in the restaurant after closing hours.

8. Imagine you and Ned meeting the same way Anita and Roger did in 101 Dalmatians, with Digby and your dog acting as matchmakers. Imagine having a romance similar to theirs.

9. Imagine dating Ned and being heartbroken after learning a loved one has unexpectedly died. As he comforts you, you express how much you wish you could bring them back, if just for a minute to say goodbye. The pie maker is unable to look you in the eye, unsure if he should finally tell you about his power or not.

10. Imagine it’s Pi Day and the Pie Hole is overcrowded with customers demanding pie. You notice Ned is overwhelmed and stress baking, so you decide to assist him in the kitchen. When the day is over, both of you are too exhausted to move, so you fall asleep on the kitchen floor, covered in flour and holding each other.

Character I'm hitting with the Regressor beam is Ned from Pushing Daisies.

He's an involuntary regressor due to his childhood trauma. An example of this in canon for this is the way every halloween he goes back to his childhood home and lays down where his bed was. A large portion of the show takes place in flashbacks to his childhood when he was 9 and I think he'd be sort of stuck at that age sometimes, maybe younger to when his family was happy. Ned leads a very private life so he's used to regressing alone or quickly retreating from the pie hole if triggered. Olive probably suspects that there's something off about him and would be supportive if she knew but he's way to anxious to tell her or anyone.

Along comes Chuck~. Chuck's return into his life is a huge regression trigger for him but for the first time, she makes him happy little too. And she gladly becomes his caregiver having read about age regression in her books. Ned while regressed is unable to verbalize things in a grown up way/at all. He's also just as clingy as he is big if not more. When Chuck has to leave him she recites a rhyme with him reminding him to be a brave boy and hug himself when he gets scared she isn't coming back. He's able to do a lot for functional things for himself but he doesn't want to and likes when Chuck pours his juice, feeds him, dresses him.

Eventually as their missions become more complex it becomes harder to hide from Emerson and Olive and eventually Chuck has to explain it to them after a particularly triggering moment leaves Ned unable to use big boy words for a bit. And eventually Ned becomes comfortable enough around them for them to fill in for Chuck on short occaisions when she needs someone to watch her clingy baby.

Will add art to this later 💛

[ofmimzy]

meet Ned, the pie maker !

the facts are these . . .

ned owns a pie shop called The Pie Hole ( as in “shut your” ) and is a very talented baker! he takes the art of pie making very seriously and uses recipes out of his mom’s own recipe book - with a few changes added via trial and error.

ned has a lovely dog named digby!

ned can also wake the dead, consequence-free, for a minute with a touch of his finger. with a second touch of his finger, he can return them to their eternal slumber.

if, however, he fails to touch the Alive Again Person within the one minute timeframe to make them Dead Again, the imbalance in nature causes someone within ned’s proximity to take the Alive Again Person’s place in death. in otherwords, an innocent bystander will die.

no one knows of ned’s secret other than his business partner, private detective emerson cod.

emerson isn’t in the pie business, but rather enlists ned’s help in asking murder victims who murdered them and then splitting the reward with him.

ned knows this all seems very shady but really there’s no way for I Wake The Dead With A Single Touch But Have To Make Sure They’re Dead Again Within A Minute Or Else Someone Else Will Die not to seem shady from the outside. it’s something he’s been dealing with for 20 years, he’s managed fine enough so far.

ned is a nervous fellow and touch starved while also being averse to touch if it’s someone he’s not familiar/comfortable with touching him.

he’s soft-spoken and is prone to nervous rambles.

he’s 6’5” but often walks hunched in on himself with his hands in his pockets and his head down, as though trying to make himself seem less noticeable.

Littlefinger likes to stick his fingers in every flavor of pie. When he told Sansa that there was a possibility that Jon wishes to marry Daenerys when he left for Dragonstone, Baelish knew that Sansa would eventually tell Lady Y/n.

And why wouldn’t she? Sansa has known Y/n since they were children and have just recently been reunited. Y/n was another ward of House Stark and was raised alongside Ned and Catelyn’s children ever since she was one and ten. Thankfully, she did not have to endure the horrors of the Starks' fates since she was sent back to her own family’s keep to spend time with her parents before winter began. When word spread of Ned Stark’s imprisonment and then further beheading, Y/n’s parents kept her at home, knowing it would be a death sentence for their daughter if she were sent back to Winterfell.

When she heard about Jon Snow reclaiming Winterfell from the Boltons, Y/n had to return to Winterfell years later. She had to see the great walls of the Stark castle for herself, along with the reclaimed owners. When she arrived, she was tearfully greeted by Sansa and reunited with Arya and Bran. When she questioned where Jon was, Y/n was told that he went South to Dragonstone. Sansa told her old friend everything that’s happened since they last parted, right down to the very smallest detail. When she spoke of the Northerners calling Jon their King of the North, Y/n smiled to herself, happy and proud for Ned Stark’s bastard son.

As children, Y/n often found herself in Jon’s company, despite their different stations in life. Sansa didn’t like Jon when they were younger, but Y/n had always been a kind and sweet young lady. She enjoyed Jon’s company and over time, as they got older, they both were beginning to realize that this friendship was turning into an infatuation with each other. Y/n could easily say that Jon Snow was her first love. Yes, she was young and childish, with butterflies in her stomach whenever Jon was around, but she never considered her attraction to him foolish.

When Littlefinger told Sansa that there was a possibility that Jon wishes to marry Daenerys when he left for Dragonstone, Baelish knew that Sansa would eventually tell Lady Y/n. He was no fool, and he saw the way Y/n smiled whenever Jon was mentioned. She even spoke of her excitement to see him again. However, when Y/n was told of the possibility of Jon and Daenerys forming a marriage alliance, her smile fell, and she even asked Sansa if she was certain. After that, Petyr watched as Y/n remained stoic and even ignorant on the topic right until his execution by Arya's hand.

~~~~~~~~~

Jon finally came back home after spending so much time in the South, and with him, he brought armies from all corners of the world. With Daenerys at his side and two dragons flying overhead, Sansa also took into account the armies of Unsullied and Dothraki. Once introductions had been made, she also recognized Varys and Tyrion Lannister at the Targaryen Queen’s side. The Lady of Winterfell had her guests settle in before supper and caught Jon up on everything he missed while he was away. When she recounted all the houses who had come to the North’s aid, she mentioned Y/n’s. Jon visibly stiffened, staring into the fireplace of his half-sister’s room.

“Is she well?”

Sansa was stunned for the moment, before breaking the news to him, “Why don’t you ask her yourself?”

Jon spun to stare at Sansa, struck dumb as she continued, “She was feeling ill before you arrived so she went to lie down. She’s in her old room now, like she never left.”

He immediately excused himself and left Sansa’s room, only to swiftly walk down the hall to what he remembered used to be Y/n’s. He could walk the way there blindfolded if someone asked him. He knew the route all too well. When he was young, he snuck to Y/n’s chambers as often as he could. Being young and naive, nothing scandalous came of it, but Jon and Y/n knew the fit Lady Catelyn would have if she ever found them innocently holding each other and kissing in bed.

What felt like hours was only minutes before Jon found himself just outside Y/n’s door, out of breath and feeling the sense of déjà vu. He felt as though he was frozen in a lake of icy cold waters again, like when he had fallen beyond the Wall, barely able to move or catch his breath. Fear struck him like a chill down to his bones, staring at the door between him and what he both feared and longed for. Before he could give into cowardice, he raised his fist and knocked.

Shuffling is heard behind the door, until the light pattern of footsteps draws closer and the door itself swings open, revealing the woman inside. Jon’s lungs begin to burn from lack of breath, completely blown away by the face of the young love he had once known. She was radiant, a woman grown with her face as lovely as the Mother, evolved from the goofy smiles and rounded cheeks from his childhood.

Y/n stared back at him with equal shock, breathless, standing still in her chemise and robe, loose hair falling over her shoulder like a waterfall. Neither of them speaks, taking in the other’s appearance like a goblet of wine. Slowly, Y/n rolls her lips and hesitants before breathing out, “Jon?”

A raging fire ignites and burns within him. Jon steps forward with his hands on either side of her face before she could blink. The kiss was fierce and full of unquenchable need, as if ice and fire was fighting for dominance, sizzling when making contact with one another. Y/n leaned into Jon’s kiss and his embrace, guiding him further into her room with her grip around his torso. Jon kicks the door shut with his boot as he breaks away from the kiss, catching his breath, all the while his gaze scans over her face standing so close to his. Their air mixed in the close proximity, unable to move away other than to tilt their heads to get a better look of each other.

“I thought I’d never see you again,” Jon’s rapsy whisper sent chills down her spine, a fleeting smile etched onto her kiss bitten lips.

Y/n’s eyes were wet with unshed tears, lowering her gaze to watch her fingers play with a loose thread on his warm furs, “And I you. I’ve heard stories... but I didn’t wish to believe them.”

“What did you hear?”

“Your death, of course,” her full body shiver does not go unnoticed, Jon’s hands moving down her neck and steadily holding her shoulders, the warmth of his palms bleeding into the fabric of her sleeves, “Then your ressurection... then your war against the Boltons. My father said it was a fool’s errand, that no one could possibly win against them.”

“I wish I could say the stories were false,” Jon kept his voice low and soft, as if the fire lighting the shadows of her room could hear, “Apart from us not winning against the Boltons, that is.”

Y/n tilt her head at him, puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“I did die, Y/n, but I was brought back by Stannis Baratheon’s priestess.”

She searched his eyes, trying to scout out the lie, but she couldn’t find one. Unless he learned how to lie in all these years, Y/n couldn’t help but believe him, despite how impossible his words sounded, “And what of your titles? Are you Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch or are you King in the North?”

“Neither, or both, I suppose. My watch ended when I died... and I now serve a new queen.”

The reminder of Daenerys Targaryen felt like lead dragging her heart down to her stomach. Y/n swallowed down her nerves and tried her best to strengthen her posture, keeping her eyes on the direwolf symbol on his chest, “Then I can imagine you are now free to own lands, take a wife, and father children. You could take your queen’s hand, of course, since you are no longer a bastard.”

Jon, as always, doesn’t quite catch the meaning of her words, nodding solemnly once a thought dawned on him. His once relieved, heartfelt expression drains into his usual brooding self, “Aye. I’m not a bastard. I am so much more than that... I have to tell you something, but you have to swear that you won’t tell a soul. Not even Sansa.”

The weight of his voice worried Y/n, but she otherwise straightened her spine with curiousity, “... What is it?”

“My true parentage came into question recently. Bran sent me a letter along with my friend Sam’s confirmation. They found proof that I am not Ned Stark’s true bastard. I’m his nephew.”

“Nephew?” Y/n rapidly tries recalling history of the Stark family tree in her head, information spouting out of her lips all at once as she tried to make sense of this, “You are too young to be Brandon Stark’s son, and unless he broke his vows, you couldn’t be Benjen’s. And Lyanna-!”

Y/n caught the brief bloom of pain behind Jon’s eyes before it disappeared, then she was able to put the pieces together from there, remembering the last days of Robert’s Rebellion as the history books say. Her eyes soften into pity, feeling the sadness and lost grief radiating off her first love, “Lyanna...”

“Lyanna Stark wasn’t kidnapped. Sam found proof that Rhaegar Targaryen annulled his marriage to Elia Martell and married Lyanna in secret. They had a son... but both of them had died before they could meet him. Lyanna knew that Robert Baratheon would kill her son and so she tasked her brother, Ned Stark, to care for him as his bastard.”

Y/n’s hand trails up to Jon’s face as her bewildered eyes take in this new bit of information. Her fingers lightly trail over scars she didn’t recognize from their shared childhood. Jon closed his eyes and leaned into the touch, catching the rays of her warmth and intently listening to the soft sound of her voice, “Then you are not a bastard... you’re not even a lord,” she was in disbelief, huffing a small gust of air as she took in the details of the man’s face in front of her, “You’re the Heir to the Iron Throne.”

“I don’t want it, Y/n,” Jon’s eyes open and his grip slowly tightened around her frame, afraid she would disappear, “My goal was to only ever protect the North. Daenerys knows this.”

“You told her?”

“I had to. She’s family.”

The words sink in, before Y/n scoffed to herself, hope slowly peeking through, “I thought...”

“You thought what?”

Y/n looked back up at him, suddenly feeling shy and foolish, “Sansa and I heard that you might wed her for the alliance.”

Jon couldn’t help the small, breathy laugh that escaped him, shaking his head, “I do love her, but not like that.”

He inched closer to Y/n until their bodies were touching, taking her breath away as Jon’s hands traveled back up her shoulders to cup her face again, forcing her to look at him directly in the eyes. He looked so vulnerable, his heart practically bleeding out through his eyes and words, “I have only ever loved one woman... and I knew I could never have her as long as I was a bastard and she was a lady. So I left. I joined the Night’s Watch. If I couldn’t have her, then I would never want another woman.”

“Jon...” Touched, Y/n leaned up into his space, closing her eyes as she kissed him once more, softer and slower, her heart beating rapidly in her chest. Their lips part again but neither pull out of the other’s space, noses brushing together as the lady gasped quietly, emotions quivering in her words, “I was afraid I had dreamt it all. When you left, I began to doubt you ever loved me.”

“I’m so sorry,” Jon tilt his head up and kissed her forehead, eyes squeezing shut with guilt and regret, “I knew I couldn’t say goodbye to you. It would be too much.”

She leans into his body more, feeling secured as his arms fully wrap around her. Grateful of this reunion, Y/n didn’t want to ever let go of him again, “So what happens now? Daenerys intends on taking the throne from Cersei. Will you help her?”

“Once we’ve defeated the Night King, yes.”

“And then what?”

“Then Daenerys rules. I have her written promise that the North will remain an independant kingdom, but we both have agreed that should she ever need aid, the North will answer the call.”

“So then you will still be King in the North?”

“If the Northerners allow it. I don’t think I made any of them happy by bringing two dragons, Dothraki hordes, a Targaryen Queen, and a Lannister here.”

Y/n laughs quietly, “They’ll forgive you once we survive the Long Night.”

“And... should we survive,” Y/n leaned her head back to stare into his knowing gaze, his eyebrows raised in silent question, “The King in the North will need a Queen?”

Warmth flooded her face and neck, a wide smile blooming. Y/n, feeling giddy and incredibly happy, felt a tease escaping her mouth as her eyes twinkle in mischief, “Oh? But you’re doing so well on your own!”

Jon smiled boyishly, a little bashful like he was when they were younger. His amused huff brushes her cheek as he leans close to her ear, “Not well enough. I could be so much more with you by my side. I would cherish the title of your husband far more than any title a kingdom could give me. Please, Y/n. I will not lose you again. When this is over... marry me.”

She closed her eyes, relishing in this moment, smiling even as she kissed the corner of his lips, “Of course, Jon... My Jon.”

A/N: It’s a little short, but I think it was sweet to write. Please support and leave a request in the ask box!

[no-idea-for-a-cool-name]

Sorry to chime in again. I agree with you that neither Arya nor Sansa are prepared to govern, but with all due respec, there're a lot of things you're saying that I think are either a misinterpretation of the characters or more based on the popular fanon version of them rather than canon. And sorry, it will be long.

I just think everything in Arya's story points towards a liberation from fixed roles and, yes, travel and embracing and learning new cultures, peoples and languages.

What makes you say this for example? Arya herself asked Ned this:

"Can I be a king's councillor and build castles and become the High Septon?"

Judging from this, Arya does have interest in fixed roles. It's a common idea that fans assume that Arya wants freedom to just travel around but what she wants is freedom to be whatever she wants, even positions of power that are traditionally forbidden to women.

And speaking of traveling around.

she's also a character who wants to see the world

What makes you think that Arya would want to use her freedom traveling around? When did she ever expresed a desire to do so? Her entire story revolves around wanting to go back home. And as you yourself admit, if she did wanted to travel that doesn't mean she can't stay in Winterfell. Travelling is not even incompatible with a fixed role since Arya mentions traveling to White Harbor twice with Ned and we've seen that Robert travelled through the entire kingdom to ask Ned to be his hand. So Arya wanting freedom isn't really a reason to say Arya wouldn't want to be a ruler.

and is not particularly interested in being told what to do or telling others what to do.

Again, not being interested in being told what to do is not an argument in favour of Arya not wanting a position of power. Quite the opposite I would say. And about telling others what to do, she doesn't want to order people around but that habit does come naturally to her from time to time:

"I'm not a boy," she spat at them. "I'm Arya Stark of Winterfell, and if you lay a hand on me my lord father will have both your heads on spikes. If you don't believe me, fetch Jory Cassel or Vayon Poole from the Tower of the Hand." She put her hands on her hips. "Now are you going to open the gate, or do you need a clout on the ear to help your hearing?"

Gendry and Hot Pie did not question her choice. She had the map, after all, and Hot Pie seemed almost as terrified of her as of the men who might be coming after them. He had seen the guard she'd killed. It's better if he's scared of me, she told herself. That way he'll do like I say, instead of something stupid.

And this is not really about Arya, but I think it's worth mentioning since in my opinion, Willow Heddle is meant to remind us of Arya:

Gendry was the closest thing to a man grown, but it was Willow shouting all the orders, as if she were a queen in her castle and the other children were no more than servants.

If she were highborn, command would come naturally to her, and deference to them. 

she likes being out in the world and trying new things and practical skills over paperwork - and there's no escaping that (especially in peacetime), that's most of what governance would entail.

I agree that paper work is not something that would interest her (personally, I don't think she'll be the ruler of Winterfell), but first, it's worth noting that Arya feels very responsible for her house and is able to accept that sometimes she has to do things she doesn't like simply because it's the right thing:

Arya hated being left behind like she was some stupid child, but at least Gendry had been kept back as well. She knew better than to try and argue. This was battle, and in battle you had to obey.

She would make much better time on her own, Arya knew, but she could not leave them. They were her pack, her friends

So it wouldn't be out of character if she did a job she doesn't love because she feels it's her responsibility. And second, I have to ask, since you say Arya wouldn't rule because she's not interested in paperwork, when has Sansa ever expresed a desire to do paperwork?

Now, I don't think Sansa ruling the north is impossible either, but again, I disagree with some of your interpretations.

but thematically it makes perfect sense that her arc would see her quietly gathering the confidence and know-how to become a power in her own right.

I agree with this, what I disagree with is this idea that's pervasive in the fandom that the only position of power available is being the ruler of a kingdom. Sansa could be a councillor for Bran for example (it's what I personally expect for her and Arya). There're plenty of positions of power besides queen/warden.

who knows when to lead and when to delegate.

You say this based on what? I'm not trying to demean Sansa since she is learning a lot of valuable things and I don't want to turn this into Arya vs Sansa because again, I actually expect them to end up in similar positions, but I just have to ask, when was it ever shown that Sansa is learning to lead and delegate?

And Sansa's interested in rule

I have to strongly disagree in this one, As far as I remember, Sansa has never shown one bit of interest in ruling. She wanted to be a queen consort which is basically a figurehead and her interest in that was entirely around the glamour, it's a completely different role than a ruling queen. Even after her fantasy broke and after maturing more in the Vale I don't remember her showing any interest in actual governance.

There's room in her story for her to mature into someone who understands more than just the dynamics of court and your allies vs your enemies, but also, supposing she rules the Vale for any amount of time, some experience of what governance actually means.

I don't disagree, but why are you not giving this room for Arya to mature? you seem to be judging Arya's chances of governing mostly by her 9 year-old self and Sansa's by the adult she could potentially become.

Sorry if I sound like an asshole, I just wanted to share why I disagreed with some of your statements. Personally, I don't see Sansa's arc pointing towards becoming a ruler. It's not that I arguing Arya is better either, I just don't see that trajectory in Sansa's story so far. But who knows.

If the kingdoms at the end go all independent. Who ends up king in the north? I assume Sansa is queen in the vale with Harold hardying but is bran really ok for king in the north? Will it go to Rickon?

talked about this a little before but basically I don't really see the seven kingdoms each becoming independent: I think whatever becomes of the Targaryen legacy, Aegon's ice & fire dream (or whatever it was called lol) was clear that there was strength in unity and I think that echoes throughout asoiaf generally.

I think it's likely Sansa will govern the North (I agree that her arc in preparing her for that role is incomplete, but at least she has that arc where compared to Rickon). Arya's a charismatic character and a strong leader besides, you could certainly say she'd be as good at governing as Sansa. but I just don't really feel like a governing role resonates in her story regardless, so that does leave Sansa (who I personally really doubt will just marry Harold Hardyng and settle down in the Vale for all of time)

and I fully buy into the Bran as a fisher king theory - I don't think he'll govern exactly but will become a figurehead of westeros, uniting the people and the land. doubt he'll be based in King's Landing as that's likely to be a pile of ash and in any case was always very much part of the political plot, divorced from the supernatural and the struggles of the rest of Westeros. you constantly get a sense of KL as a corrupted seat where the monarchs and their court are entirely removed from the smallfolk on their very doorstep, so I don't see it having a place in Bran's reign, whatever that ends up looking like
