Op was talking about the Stark girls but the problem with this take is that Sansa calls Arya ugly AND would also never die for her lol. In fact, she actively risked Arya’s life/safety multiple times be it the Trident incident, telling the entire court that Arya has traitor’s blood while she herself was a “good girl”, telling Cersei about Ned’s plan, etc etc. and never reflects upon it. She still blames Arya for Lady’s death in A Clash of Kings 😭
I’m sorry but Sansa’s dislike of Arya runs deep. Far deeper than any negativity that might be felt in reverse lbr. And it may not be as bad as say, Cersei and Tyrion, but it also doesn’t have to be for it to still be considered negative.
I’m just so baffled by the insistence that this fundamental aspect of their relationship be denied.
Name one moment of Sansa being selfless for Arya or standing up for her in any way. Name top three moments of Sansa saying or thinking anything positive specifically about Arya! (Vaguely remembering her existence in her idealized memories of Winterfell doesn’t count btw) They both care about each other as family, sure. But where’s the actual love y’all keep talking about?
I think the biggest evidence of the sheer dearth of positivity between these girls is the fact that Arya and Sansa are both POV characters with some of the highest chapter counts in the series, they’ve interacted with each other both in their own chapters and in other’s, and have thought about each other multiple times even after they’ve gone their separate ways. Yet the most ““positive”” quote this fandom has of them is Ned’s “sun and moon” comment. (And for context, this quote was said by Ned after Arya was angry at Sansa for victim-blaming Mycah for his own murder so…..lol)
In the combined 50 something chapters these girls have, the fact that the “Stark sisters LOVE each other!!!! 🤬” crowd has just that one quote spoken by their dad who was basically giving his daughter a lecture and nothing from the girls themselves is just…. sad tbh. Imagine if we were constantly told of the strength and love between Jon Snow and Arya’s relationship and the only evidence was Theon’s “Lord Stark’s sullen bastard has always been fond of his half-sister Arya”.
Sad.
There used to be this trite, overused comeback made by Sansa/Stark Sisters fans that went:
“Umm if Arya knew you were saying anything bad about Sansa she would fucking HATE you!!!!!”
and maybe so! Arya’s very empathetic and has been shown to defend Sansa and get upset on her sister’s behalf multiple times! But would the reverse be true?
Would Sansa hate me if I said negative things about Arya? And if so, where are the textual evidence for this? Because Ned’s “sun and moon; you share dna” is not cutting it I’m afraid 😔

HoTD S2x01: A Son for a Son (I have thoughts and I'm keeping them here)
The Stark theme and Cregan doing his best Sean Bean accent have me nostalgic.
If getting conscripted to the Wall is an honour, then why does budget Jon Snow look unhappy about it?
No Sara Snow, okay. I’ll live with it. No Jace/Cregan (b)romance, not okay. Tumblr made me want it, only to be so denied by the showrunners.
Not more Targ colonialism erasure. "We colonised an entire continent to save the world, no really. And look, even the noble Starks agree with it!" is such a shit take, even if it's canon. I like the Targ characters, but let's not erase the original Aegon's colonial crimes.
Jace looks so pretty! Major glow up.
Dragonstone has a dragon hangar! Yay for worldbuilding!
Daemon calling Vhagar a hoary old bitch reminds me of this absolutely amazing Vhagar POV fanfic I read. (Soon the god's hoar by eldritcher on AO3) (The fic is spoiler-y for the rest of the Dance, jsyk.)
Yes, Rhaenys! Put Daemon in his place! Also, her dragon riding outfit!!!
Alyn, I see you doing an Egg by shaving your head.
Why in the hell does no one take Helaena’s visions seriously?! She’s right every time. (Can I blame ‘I had a dragon dream once’ Viserys for this? Because I want to blame Viserys for this. Look at the mess you left your kids in, Viserys! I hope Balerion bites your ass in the afterlife.)
And here we see the 'Our lives are in danger, so let's fuck about it' trope in action. I’ve heard a lot of Alicole hot takes. “Criston Cole is ‘unmanly’ for going down on a woman” is the absolute hottest of hot takes I’ve had the misfortune of encountering.
Otto giving Alicent and Criston Cole that look as they walk in. He knows what they’ve been doing.
Aegon grinning at his son like a fool. Aegon giving Jaehaerys attention and wanting him to learn how to rule even though he’s only six. Aegon trying to do better than deadbeat Viserys did. Aegon talking about pony rides in a way that suggests Jaehaerys often gets pony rides, possibly from Aegon himself. If you told me last season Aegon would somehow turn out to be the best father on this series ….. (Yes, I know that when it comes to being a dad the bar is in hell’s basement here. Yes, I know the way Aegon treats his illegitimate kids is horrific. I think there’s definitely been some retconning here and S2 Aegon is not the same character as S1 Aegon. They should have portrayed him this way from the start.)
Alicent wrote Rhaenyra letters to apologize for Luke's death and she's expecting a response?! Girl ....
My kingdom for a scene of the Greens finding out that Aemond killed Luke. My kingdom for a scene of Aemond deciding to just fully commit to the villain persona and lie to say he killed Luke intentionally. Such a missed opportunity.
Larys being an intimidating creep to Alicent again. He should go fall down some stairs.
Alicent scrubbing her skin raw. She is not okay. (I want to see Alicent cracking. Let Olivia Cooke act!)
Rhaenyra’s grief over Luke is heartbreaking. Emma D’Arcy is acting their heart out. And Syrax crying too, nooo.
Aegon walking in sync with his fratboy squad. You know they practised that entrance during one of their nightly seshes in the throne room.
Are they going to show the throne cutting Aegon?
“On further thought, I have decided ….” Aegon is hilarious.
It’s Hammer time!
Larys already angling for the Hand’s position. I know this guy is ambitious, but damn.
Just Alicent looking ethereal reading letters.
Mysaria’s accent has been toned down! (Why was Mysaria fleeing King’s Landing though? Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t get it?)
“We swore an oath to protect the whole of the royal family. So what were we to do when they turned against one another?” Jaime Lannister echoes.
"I want Aemond Targaryen." Chills. Rhaenyra only says four words all episode and it's these four words.
Jace trying to keep it together and be professional to give his report. Jace looking so much younger and more vulnerable when he’s back with his mother. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Scenes with Rhaenyra at Luke’s funeral interspersed with scenes of Alicent paying tribute to the dead, including Luke. My heart. That empty space next to Alicent in the sept where Rhaenyra used to pray. They are an absence in each other’s lives.
Rhaena crying for her betrothed, nooo.
Why didn’t they have a dragon light Luke’s funeral pyre?
The return of the Daemon crime hoodie, now upgraded to a war crime hoodie.
Making it unclear if Daemon told B & C to go after another son if they can’t find Aemond or if B & C just went rogue – that’s a cop out by the writers. Unless it comes up again. EDIT: Daemon said 'a son for a son.' He was giving them carte blanche to go after another son if Aemond is MIA.
Daemon reluctantly admitting Aemond is a good fighter. I love to see it.
Why do I get the sense that Aemond also knows about Alicole?
“Rhaenyra is a cunning spider. Long ago she pulled Alicent into her web. Intoxicated her. It is not your mother’s fault.” “Her Grace speaks with two tongues. Alicent holds love for our enemy.” So they’re both obsessed and very much not over Rhaenyra. Do Alicent and Cole both think of Rhaenyra while being unholy together because it kinda seems like it?
Ewan Mitchell as Aemond is so mesmerizing. That man has presence.
Why the fuck has no one tried to map the secret tunnels into the Red Keep and close off the ones that allow randoms to sneak in/royal minors to sneak out?
The entire Kingsguard is in the throne room guarding Aegon? And they don’t stop the ‘rat catchers’ working at night? Even if the rat catchers were supposed to be there, I feel like it would still be protocol to stop and question them. Have none of these writers been pulled over by the cops for no reason/even slightly suspicious behaviour?
I think the build up to B & C should’ve focused on Helaena and her kids instead of B & C creeping around, arguing for no reason and committing gratuitous animal abuse. (That dog kicking scene looked so real, I watched the end credits for a disclaimer that no animals were harmed in the making of.) They could’ve shown Helaena getting the kids ready for bed, reading them a story, etc. They established a connection between Aegon and Jaehaerys pre B & C but none between Helaena and the kids before it happened. Lost opportunity.
B & C was very different than I expected before I was spoiled. I guess I see what the writers were going for with Helaena’s response to B & C. She’s dissociated rather than hysterical. She’s been painted as a character who’s distanced from the world around her in general, so perhaps this is an in-character trauma response for her. Plus you could see the absolute terror in Phia’s eyes. Helaena was terrified and traumatized. She was just quiet about it.
As for her just pointing out Jaehaerys instead of trying to bargain or plead more for his life … I guess it’s because they’re characterizing her as very literalist, straightforward and honest to a fault as part of her ‘strangeness’? So she just took B & C at their word and didn’t try to change their minds because after the necklace offer failed, she assumed they couldn’t be swayed and would definitely kill her and both kids like they threatened to if she didn’t point out Jaehaerys to them. As for not pointing to Jaehaera – that wouldn’t accomplish anything. If they didn’t check that they really had the boy, one of her kids would still be dead. If they checked and discovered she’d lied, they might kill both kids. She was a mother who didn’t want either of her kids to die but perceived she couldn’t do anything to save both of them, so she felt she had no choice but to point out Jaehaerys. And then she grabbed Jaehaera and got her to safety when she saw the chance. At least she could save one of them.
As for Helaena saying they killed ‘the boy’ instead of saying his name Jaehaerys – I don’t see that as her being insensitive and uncaring about her kid. I think she was just repeating B & C’s exact word use in her dissociated state. She was on auto pilot at that point.
I do get what the writers were going for … but it’s not going to translate well to most of the audience I don’t think. I see many people interpreting it as Helaena not caring about Jaehaerys and not trying hard enough to save him. “Why didn’t she offer up her own life like any mother would?” If a large part of the audience misinterprets or misunderstands a scene or a character’s intentions or motivations, then that’s a failure on the part of the writers IMO. I’m not upset they didn’t make B & C more graphic or violent in the physical or psychological sense. (In the book, their twisted mind games were just as horrific and brutal and every bit as violent as the physical violence). But I do think that scene could have been better executed in a different way. And including Maelor probably would have worked better to illustrate the horrific, inescapable situation Helaena found herself in between a rock and a hard place.
Where the fuck are the guards? In the throne room with Aegon? Sent away by Cole to hide the fact that he’s in the queen dowager’s bed? The Greens never considered infiltration or a stealth attack? They really got complacent because they have Vhagar guarding the city.
Alicent and Cole doing it in Rhaenyra’s old room, in Rhaenyra’s bed!! Are they both imagining they’re with Rhaenyra too?! Because this is giving … high levels of dysfunction. They’re both haunted by Rhaenyra
The only thing I’ll say about Alicole is that they really should have shown them getting together for the first time. When, how and why did that happen? Who instigated it? How did they both feel about it? Again the writers don’t show the motivations they had in mind for the characters, resulting in the viewers drawing different conclusions than they’re ‘supposed to’ and it works against the story. The interviews I’ve watched seem to say it’s consensual on both their parts. (I know there’s a power imbalance that makes it problematic, but I don’t think the writers see it that way.) Again, showing the start of their first sexual encounter would have been better writing (IMO) because it could have been used to illustrate consent.
The last thing I’ll say about Alicole (okay, so I wanted to say two things) is that showing it after B & C that way by having Helaena walk in on them cheapens B & C. The true shock and horror here is that a child was murdered in front of his mother. Why add the cheap shock value of someone walking in on their parent in flagarante?
All in all, okay episode, kind of weird. Looking forward to see what they do with the rest of the material.

I think the reason Team Black love Jace so much is because although they love to brag about how they "won" they ended up with two of the worst Targ kings. Aegon III is dull as dishwater and is the reason House Targaryen doesn't have any more dragons whilst Viserys II is plain evil.
So with Jace they can project their ideal Targ king, declaring that unlike Aegon III he wouldn't let the dragons die out and unlike Viserys II he wouldn't claim Rhaenyra is proof to why women shouldn't be allowed to rule nor would he force his daughter to marry his rapist son.
Look I think Jace is a nice character, and even....how I am going to say this? One of the reasons Ryan is so pro team black sometimes in his writing, is because he has a producer mentality, that means he believes to maintain big audience, he will write characters that the normies can root for. That are not so morally gray. Some people call Hotd the mcufication of asoiaf and they are not out of line because just like the comic books are way more philosophical with their story (the end civil for example) Hotd takes away the little nuance that fire and blood give of the war and character and leans completely to one side.
Season one we had Viserys, and worked so well that in S2 he basically wrote Rhaenyra personality in the same way. Jace falls under that wing.
And while tb eat that shit for a lot reasons, including the one you said, like I also see them getting defensive towards Aegon III, although I have a feeling they've only been like this with them since his relationship with Jaehaera became popular.
Viserys in S1 was constantly shit talked and for good reasons. This season, because the fans loved him, he is acclaimed, even for the wife he constantly disrespect groomed. Rhaenyra acting like him . And that is not the reason why people liked her in the first place. Remember the girl that flew to Dragonstone without her dad permission and faced her uncle? That is the Rhaenyra people like it.
This all backfire and Aegon of all people become a fan favourite.
Ryan desperately needed to create a character where the normies would root for, but he end up making Rhaenyra boring and so he underdeveloped Jace and make him palpable for teen girls thirsty over.
Ignoring there is one character in the book that is coded to be the "Jon snow" the guy the people would root for. And Martin wrote him to be that so, because when adapted people like him. And Ryan cut him almost him completely if wasn't for George complaining in his door. And that is fucking Daeron.

I know your blog is very focused on Rhaegar x Lyanna but I wanted to ask what are other Game of Thrones universe ships you like. Can you give me a top 10 ?
This is a really cool question my top 10 is very weird. I like very different couples it’s my crack ship obsession. I’m gonna put an honorable mention to Sigorn x Alys Karstark, Arthur Dayne X Jaime Lannister, Sansa Stark x Margaery Tyrell, they are a cute couples but they don’t make my top 10 !
10. Alysanne Targaryen x Alaric Stark: I mean, I do have an obsession with stark/targaryen, fire and ice, ships so this was no surprise. My head canon is that this helped Alysanne with a lot of trauma from her first trip on Westeros where she was attacked. And I love that Alaric is kind of grumpy at the beginning but warms up to her with time.
9. Jacaerys Velaryon X Cregan Stark : Again stark/targaryen ship, but gay ! Two of the things that I love the most in life. I’m very sad that apparently Cregan won’t be making another appearance in this season of House of the Dragon. Because you know, I just wanted to see my ship or a little bit more of it.
8. Oberyn Martell X Willas Tyrell: This one is kind of complicated; For people that don’t know Willas is a book only character, he is the heir of HighGarden, when he was very young, he went into jousting, and he jousted against Oberyn. But sadly because he was so young and unprepared, he ended up having a very serious injury on his leg. And that caused the Martell’s and Tyrell’s to have even more beef than they already have, but the cool thing is Willas did not blame Oberyn. They became friends after this. So yeah I ship them because this one brings a softer side of Oberyn that we rarely see.
7. Jon Snow x Satin : I mean, bisexual Jon Snow, that’s it.
6. Ned Stark x Jaime Lannister : This one is one of the crack ones, and I know a lot of people will think I’m mad. But if you read the books, and you read Jaime’s POV you know for a fact, he had a huge fat crush on Ned Stark. Also bisexual Jaime Lannister !
5. Lucery Velarys x Aemon Targaryen : Oh we’re getting to the toxic one. This is more like a very dependent on the AU vibe. But I like the idea of forgiveness and growth. 
4. Brienne of Tarth x Jaime Lannister: I mean, you don’t really have to explain this one. it’s amazing. It’s probably the best thing that happens to Jamie in the books and in the series, and I will be eternally bitter of how they were treated in the tv show.
3. Arya Stark X Aegon Martell Targaryen : This the one that is the most cracked ship of all of them, but hear me out, yes, I know that the possibility of young Griff, being Aegon, is very slim, but I don’t care. 
2. Lyanna Stark x Jaime Lannister : I’m usually attracted to ships that are opposites attract, but that is not the case of this one. I would like to make the claim that Jamie Lannister and Lyanna Stark, are virtually the same person in different fonts. Middle child, of dysfunctional family, that lost their mom, has a very ambitious dad, and a kid that has to grapple with the weight of societal ecxpectations, but at heart are both rebellious. 
1. Rhaegar Targaryen x Lyanna Stark : I mean, this one is my OTP, of all the ships of all time. It’s my sensitive boy, and my tomboy girl, they’re everything to me and no, I will not be questioned or hear any criticism for it!

MODERN AUs
tis the damn season 5k by @wildflower-daydreamer
Every year, Sansa comes back to her small hometown of Winterfell for Christmas. And each year, she and Jon fall into their old routine for her short stay. This year would be no different. Okay, maybe a little different. Inspired by the song 'tis the damn season by Taylor Swift. corresponding gif
Mistletoe Merriment 4k by @geekprincess26
Theon Greyjoy loves kissing pretty girls, so naturally he loves breaking out the mistletoe and spiked punch every year at the Starks' annual Christmas party. And every year, the girl he kissed the prior year shows up with an awesome new boyfriend - every girl except for Sansa Stark, who ends up with slimy, pathetic gits. Theon will have to go to ridiculous lengths, not to mention risk the legendary wrath of Jon Snow, in order to get Sansa the boyfriend she deserves. But he'll do it, because Theon Greyjoy is a loyal friend - and he'll never let a stupid sprig of mistletoe get the better of him.
When the Grinch Met the Redhead 1k by @yenstarkofrivia
the one where Sansa likes to sing Christmas songs at 3am and Jon is a miserable Grinch
merry and bright 27k by @cellsshapedlikestars
ex-child star Sansa Stark is in desperate need of money and takes a role in a Hallmark Christmas movie, filming in the mountain resort town of Wintertown, Vermont. There, Fire Chief Jon Snow is on set to oversee safety regulations. Sansa hates Christmas and she hates small towns, but a casual fling with a rugged local fireman might be just what she needs.
four 5k by @cellsshapedlikestars (I've reread this fic many times)
She had never put Jon and Christmas together, but now she thinks she'll never be able to separate them. or, four Christmases, three midnight excursions, two angry siblings, and one boy at the center of it all
Be My +1 47k by @vivilove-jonsa
Seven months after she attended a wedding with her brother's work colleague (and gave him a tipsy, unrequited kiss when he walked her to the door), Sansa Stark finds herself in the unenviable situation of desperately needing a date for her prep school reunion at a ski resort which will also be attended by her ex-boyfriend/boss's son, Harry Hardyng and her Former-BFF/Frenemy, Margaery Tyrell.
The Best Christmas Present (Is You) 3k @foreverreadingbeautifulbooks
Every year the Starks and honorary Starks spent the week of Christmas in the most northern of the lodges they owned. No guests were allowed to visit the lodge during that week and it was the one time a year where no one in their family was allowed to work. Everyone hung out, played in the snow, skied, baked, ate lots of food, and simply enjoyed being together. It was refreshing to spend so much time with her family since she felt like she’d barely seen them this last year. But, if Sansa was honest, after five days of hanging out with them nonstop, she’d been looking forward to spending a little bit of time by herself. Every year on Christmas Eve, while her mom and dad picked out the tree, Bran would play chess with their neighbor’s son, Lyanna - who was notorious for buying gifts at the last minute - went shopping, Arya and the rest of the boys would challenge each other to skiing contests, and Sansa would take that opportunity to have her own private holiday celebration indoors. She would warm up some hot chocolate, turn up her Christmas playlist, and snuggle down in some blankets to wrap all of her Christmas presents. But not this year. This year she was stuck with Jon Snow and his broken ankle.
the perfect gift for christmas for me would be 5k

The Nightmare Before Christmas 3k by @ladysalvatore3
Sansa Stark was far from being perfect; she occasionally forgot to put the lid back on the toothpaste, she was constantly arriving late to places, she didn’t know how to change a tire or had any idea of what path her life was going to take, but there were three things that Sansa was absolutely sure about. She loved to write. Christmas was the best holiday ever. She hated Jon Snow.
'Tis the Damn Season 4k by @justhereforfandomandfriends
Four times Jon doesn’t ask Sansa to stay, and the one time he does. Sansa Stark was sneaking out of her childhood bedroom to sleep in Jon Snow's bed. If you'd told teenage Sansa, she'd have laughed in scorn (but she’d have flushed too). Twenty-nine year old Sansa was almost used to it. By now, it was practically a tradition, and there was nothing Sansa loved more than holiday traditions. corresponding moodboard
when the snow falls and the white wind blows 10k
Sansa Stark and Jon Snow had never been particularly close, but since her brother died and the two moved to the same city they have been spending more time together. Sansa tells herself Jon sees her as the little girl who lived in the house beside his. Jon tells himself Sansa sees him as nothing more than her brother's best friend. But when the two are snowed in on the way back home for Christmas, their thoughts change.

“So you want me, me and no one else, to dress up as Nikolaus and bring wee-“ his mind scrambles as he tries to remember the boy’s name, because Arya only uses pet names for him, and he doubts that her sister named her child Woolfling, Dr Snuggles, or Baby-Bear, “wee… Ar- Artos some candy, and tell him that he’s been naughty?” Arya forces Jon to play Nikolaus for her lil nephew, and somehow forgets to mention that singlemom!Sansa is really really hot

Light in the Darkest Days of the Year Little Women AU/historical AU 9k by @sibyldisobedience
Winterfell was a handsome old house of modest proportions, that had once seen better days. Its green shutters and gables had faded to a dull grey. Its stone walls could use a new coat of whitewash. And its family, the Starks, had once been counted amongst the most distinguished in Wintertown — a small, sleepy hamlet, just north of the bustling port city of White Harbour, where it was as likely to snow in the summer as not. But despite this dreary description, Winterfell was the happiest little home in the neighbourhood.  Even on the darkest, coldest days of winter, the little grey house radiated warmth and light from its frosted-over windows, like a beacon. 
Fairy Lights and Mistletoe 3k Hogwarts AU, by @maybetwice
Sansa has every intention of going to the Yule Ball with Jon, even though he isn't sure why.
Shine Your Light on Me 2k canon verse @thatgirlnevershutsup
Let's celebrate a Northern holiday with Sansa and Jon! Think about a Hallmark Christmas movie set in Westeros, and you're on the right track.
A Stark Solstice 1.5k canon verse @ritzintherabbithole
It’s only fitting, she thought, that fresh snow should blanket the land around Winterfell today of all days. It is pristine, virgin white snow, seemingly pure, but Sansa know knows the kind of monsters that hide in the cold and her time spent in King’s Landing cured her of any instinct to trust appearances.
A midwinter night's dream 2k canon verse
After the Long Night, Sansa fears winter more than ever. How will her new born daughter survive a winter that might last for years? But magic is gone from Westeros, and soon it becomes clear that every season only lasts for a few moons. Though winters are still brutal, there is always an end in sight. And every year on the darkest day of them all, the Starks in Winterfell have a feast.

I am going to need Jon to go Lord Commander Snow on Viserys, please. I think getting talked to like he’s a green recruit by an 8 year old about honor and family values is exactly what’ll finally knock his head on straight.
That being said, I would like to say I love love love the way you write Viserys. So many people either make him Perfect Girl Dad or Absolute Monster but you!! He is a human guy with human failings who thinks a bit too highly of himself and has trouble empathizing that not everyone feels the way he does and doesn’t recognize his own power but he is also just a dude. A dude who loves his family and thinks, fully and truly, that he’s doing right by them. Even when he totally isn’t. Take some of these <3 <3 <3
Viserys's talking-to is now imminent, especially after how upset Daemon looked by the summons!
Awww, I'm glad you like Viserys's portrayal. He's ended up playing a rather antagonistic role (pretty unwittingly on his part) these past few chapters, so I was worried people would think I'm making him out to be unfairly cruel, or angling to portray him as an Absolute Monster, when it's like you said: he thinks he knows best (especially when it comes to the prophecy) and has some impressive blinders on when it comes to his family. Daemon has been difficult in the past, though Otto, of course, has warped his perspective of how best to handle him.
Rhaenys has some interesting insights into his various issues/failings next chapter.

Robert told Ned that Sansa and Joffery union will be joining their like himself and Lyanna. In same Book LF told Sansa that she has her mother's looks. Also Barra mother was young girl with red hair. Conclusion both are pervert who were projecting desires on young girls to cope.
P.S they both were responsible of killing directly or indirectly Jon's fathers Ned/Rhaegar.
For a second I was terrified you were trying to imply Lyanna had red hair. XD
I struggle a bit with that parallel because I don't see Robert projecting in either case. He doesn't really care about the wedding between Joffrey and Sansa, though he pretends to in that moment. He cares about tying Ned to himself and recreating his idealized youth. Barra's mother is no different to him from any other young girl he has had sex with all his life, before, during and after his betrothal to Lyanna. The parallel to Lyanna and Rhaegar (with the implication of Jon's parentage) that GRRM is painting there is a lot more relevant. GRRM pays tribute to that young girl through Obara's mother, also a prostitute who names her daughter after her highborn customer. Oberyn cared no more than Robert did.
That's a far cry from Littlefinger, who is very attached to Sansa as a projection surface, to the point where he is blind to the danger she will pose to him.
PS: Jon Snow's two dads! Now THAT is a parallel! XD

Hoooo boy. I don't think enough people pay attention to this blog to make this work, but @stupid-elf tagged me, so.
Summarize your WIPs badly and let people vote on which sound the most interesting. (Some are originals. Most are not. Secondary game: figure out which are which. Some are obvious. Some are not.)
(PS. Guys this is surprisingly hard.)
Um. Um. Who hasn't done this yet. I only know like five people on this site. Um. @everlicious-enby! I know you haven't! If I have to do it so do you! Have fun!
(Edit: I'm adding @almondboy and @corvidcore-portent.)

scooby doo!!!
(wip game)
just this moodboard I made years ago. The Starks + Jon & Ghost go down to their grandma's house, because grandma thinks it's haunted
Robb as himbo Fred, Sansa as Daphne, Arya as Velma, Jon as Shaggy, and Ghost as Scooby.
except, of course, it'd be a darker tone than the actual scooby doo cartoon. I have the plot in my head, I know the story beats, I know the villain and all the decoy villains. I just, you know, can't seem to get past the few pages I wrote back in 2021. Part of me wonders if it's the 1970s setting. I have a lot of trouble writing period pieces, especially of times I'm not super familiar with. I was fine with the 90s because I at least was a child then, but the 70s?? I suppose I could change it, but I have a very specific music reference I want to use and I need it to be 1977 for that.
Anyway, here's a snippet (more than what's written under the moodboard):
.
Deciding to go and actually going are two very different things, it turns out.
For one, they don't have a car.
Well, the family has two cars, actually - a luxury that Sansa often forgets is a luxury. Dad makes enough money that they can have two cars and send three kids to college while still living in their well-to-do neighborhood. But one of the cars is at the airport in long term parking where dad left it, and mom needs the other to run errands and take care of Bran and Rickon.
“We could take a train?” Sansa suggests as they sit in one of the booths of Luwin's Diner. Arya's busy working on a double fudge sundae, Robb's finishing up his fries, and Sansa takes another sip of her strawberry milkshake.
“I don't think a train goes anywhere near Grandma's house. The closest stop would probably be in Red Fork, and then we'd still have no way of getting to Riverrun.”
“Sans, doesn't your boyfriend have a car we could borrow? Isn't his dad a car salesman?”
Sansa feels her cheeks flush with heat, and she shakes her head. “Harry and I broke up at the end of the semester,” she says like it doesn't bother her. Like she hadn't walked in on him naked, in bed, with a girl from his Literature class.
“Bummer,” Arya says, though Sansa knows it's because of the car thing and not actually Harry. The one time they'd met, Arya had not liked Harry. But then again, Arya's never liked any of Sansa's boyfriends, and she’s usually - annoyingly - right.
Robb's been silent for a while, he's staring out the window and Sansa turns to see what he's looking at. Across the street is a pizza shop and an auto body.
“I'll be right back,” Robb says, a slight frown on his face, a line between his brows. He gets up and leaves the diner, crossing the street towards the auto body. Mance's Auto, the sign reads.
“Where's he going?”
Arya leans over to watch Robb with her own frown. “Is that Jon's van?”
“Jon who?”
Arya sighs and points at a teal blue Volkswagen van that's parked in the alley between Mance's Auto and the pizza shop, so far back that Sansa hadn't even seen it at first. “Jon Snow.”
Memories slam back into Sansa's body, looking at that van. Of Robb and Jon and Theon driving off in it, mom's disapproving frown every time they did. Of that van parked on the street outside their house, the smell of pot drifting up from the basement whenever mom and dad weren't home. Of the one and only time she'd ever been inside it – Joffrey's letterman jacket lying in the back seat, abandoned, while Jon's leather one sat heavy and warm over her shoulders. Her eyes red and puffy, her nose still running. That endless silence as he drove her home.
She hasn't seen Jon in years.
“I didn't think they were friends anymore?” is all she manages to say, as Robb disappears inside the auto body.
“Beats me.” There's a pause, and Sansa can feel Arya's energy shift into something mischievous. “C'mon, let's go see.”
With that, Arya slides out of the booth and Sansa stares after her in shock. “Arya!” she whispers harshly, but Arya is already halfway out the door and Sansa quickly grabs her purse to follow. As she gets out of the booth, she digs around and manages to find a few bills that she drops onto the table and hopes is enough. If not, Mr. Luwin knows they're good for it.
She follows Arya outside and across the street, but Arya doesn't go into the shop, she goes around the side alley, to the van. To Sansa's surprise, Robb and Jon are already there.
It really has been years since she last saw Jon, not since the summer after Robb's high school graduation. Jon looks different now – he's always had long hair, but now it's tied back out of his face and he's grown a beard and his hands are covered in either grease or oil, she can't tell. There's a rag that hangs from one of the belt loops of his jeans, and Jon is busy using it to wipe his hands, though Sansa thinks the effort is wasted, since the rag seems to be just as covered in grease as his hands are.
He and Robb look like they're arguing, but Jon's mouth snaps shut when he sees her and Arya at the opening of the alleyway between the auto body and the pizza shop. It's also then that Sansa notices a white dog leashed to a bit of fencing, with bowls of water and food near it.
“Hey Jon,” Arya greets, looking between him and Robb. “It's been a while.”
“Arya,” Jon nods at her and then his eyes slide over to Sansa. “Sansa.”
“Hi Jon,” she gives him a little wave, unsure what else to do. There's a weird tension in the alley that she can't figure out.
“Does Jon have a car he can lend us?” Arya asks, and from the way Jon sighs, Sansa can tell this was the conversation he and Robb were already having.
“Jon says his boss wouldn't lend us a car,” Robb frowns. “And he won't let us borrow his van.”
“Robb,” Sansa hears herself say, and she almost winces at the scolding tone. She sounds a lot like their mother.
“What?” Robb asks with wide eyes. “We wouldn't need it for too long! And his mom doesn't live that far, he could walk to work no problem.”
“Do you still have that beanbag in the back?” Arya asks, moving towards the side of Jon's van. “I used to love that thing.
Arya takes hold of the handle and Jon opens his mouth in protest, but he's too late. Arya pulls open the door and instead of a beanbag chair that Sansa doesn't remember ever seeing (though again, she'd only been in the van once, and she hadn't been paying much attention to the interior), there's a lumpy twin mattress stuffed into the back, rumpled sheets piled haphazardly on it, trash bags of what looks like clothes on the seats in front of it.
Arya stares at it in confusion, until Jon moves forward and shuts the door, the slam of it echoing through the alleyway.
“Your mom kick you out again?” Robb asks, voice low, and Sansa wishes desperately that she and Arya had never followed. She feels like she shouldn't be hearing this. “You know you can always crash-”
“It's fine,” Jon starts wiping at his hands again with the rag. It's useless. He's just making it worse. “If you need the van to help your grandma, you can take it.”
"Where will you live?” Robb asks with a scowl. Arya still looks a bit shocked at the revelation.
“I dunno, maybe I'll go apologize and see if mom will let me back in.”
“Was the fight your fault?”
Jon shrugs, and it only deepens Robb's frown.
“You could come with us?”
All three of them turn to look at her, and Sansa wonders where that even came from. The words simply flew out of her mouth before she realized what she was saying.
“That's a great idea!” Arya's confusion clears and is replaced with excitement. “C'mon Jon, this road trip will be loads more fun if you're along and I'm not stuck with these two dorks.”
Sansa watches Jon hesitate, looking between his van and Robb, then the back entrance to Mance's Auto. “I guess Mance has been on me to take some time off,” he hedges. “Ghost would have to come, too.
“Perfect,” Arya grins.

Oh boy I think people who support Rhaenyra failed school in history and biology. I posted a comment on a post discussing a reason that makes it very obvious that Rhaenyra’s boys and illegitimate on a team Green supporter post properly tagged and everything to give my way of thinking and adding my opinion based on facts. So I said that the Valyrian looks are receive traits because if both parents have the genes it is the only coloring that the have silver hair purple eyes. I then pointed out that Elia who has dark coloring because she is dornish carries these genes because House Targaryen married into her family plus House Dayne who have purple hair and the occasional silver hair. So I said that is why Elia children have some looks not all of them Rhaenys had purple eyes but had the coloring of her mother Aegon look liked his dad because he got both genes from his parents. Then I explained why Jon Snow looked Stark in coloring was because these traits did not exist in the Stark line and over powered the receive traits of his father. I also explained that the Hightowers have these genes the silver hair appears from time to time because the carrier of a receive genes that both parents need. So I said Rhaenyra and Laenor have both of these receive genes therefore it is literally physical impossible for those kids to be Vaelyrons. The only way for those boys to have brown hair and eyes is if Rhaenyra sleep with someone else. Then the person told receive genes do not exist in Westeros that if the did why did the Baratheons have black hair and nothing else. Then my brain short circuited for a moment because I say did we all not take biology because black hair is a dominant trait they may have a receive gene in the hair but dominant traits mostly come out with parents with these traits. I mean you tell them logic and they say no it doesn’t exist because if they admit logic exist and that this is right then it means that Rhaenyra committed treason and that she is trying to steal a seat of power that is not hers by any right to give to her child because of her lies. It means admitting that Vaemond had the right to be angry at this to fight for his right to protect what belongs to him and the rest of his family by blood rights. Titles during medieval times go by birth order, legitimacy, and the sex they are born too. That means that boys come before girls those are the rules and laws at this time they must be born from both parents in this marriage not be a third party. Vaemond was mad that some boy who was not of his blood would take away from his family what was theirs by birth right. Rhaenyra’s sons are entitled to inherit nothing technical those boys shouldn’t even have dragons to ride because those are the rights for legitimate born Targaryens which the boys are not. The boys where never acknowledged has illegitimate and then legitimized by the king because if he did acknowledge this Rhaenyra would lose everything and he would be forced to punish her according to the laws of that time. Which means disinheriting her and her children the boys being sent to the wall her being sent to the silent sisters.
i mean just look at my previous post to see the level of media literacy. although this term has been thrown around so much as the du jour insult, including by people who absolutely lack media literacy, that it has almost become devoid of meaning. it's the blind leading the deaf at this point. team discourse has truly poisoned the ability of many to engage in genuine film critique of this show. i don't know how people got it in their heads that better quality storytelling somehow equals having everything spelled out for you.
arguing over the paternity of rhaenyra's children is similarly goofy, because there are many instances the show confirms it on screen, so why even bother having this conversation? harwin literally treats them as his own. he comes straight after rhaenyra comes back to her room to meet his son & laenor graciously gives him space. alicent japes on screen about how much joffrey is NOT laenor's. we are privy to the conversation between harwin and his father when it becomes apparent harwin IS the boys' father and lyonel knows about it. rhaenyra is shown wearing a WORRIED expression. why would she be worried if it were not true? she should have been indignant instead. rhaenyra and laenor talk 3(?) times on screen about their "arrangement". in the "driftmark" episode doesn't laenor even say with his own mouth that he loves those boys "like his own"? (haven't seen it in a while so i don't remember word for word but that's clearly the implication). jace literally asks rhaenyra if harwin is his father and she DOESN'T say no. there's no verbatim "luke, i am your father" reveal but there are a million context and dialogue clues. what the hell, man.
re: genetics. i mostly agree with what you said. no, i don't think people have a basic grasp of mendeleevian genetics; asoiaf & hotd made that evident. that being said, the genetics of trait inheritance like eye and hair colour are more complicated in real life, but the rule of recessive (light colour) and dominant genes (dark colour) hold true a lot of the times. so two parents with dark hair can only produces a fair-haired child only if they BOTH carry recessive genes for light hair etc.
for asoiaf i think grrm uses a mix of real life and fantasy genetics. so, on the one hand, you have whole houses which somehow maintain the same phenotype through centuries of history - something physically impossible irl. like how lannisters have light eyes and blonde hair no matter what, tullys have their signature red hair, baratheons their black hair etc. on the other hand, it's not exactly balls to the walls crazy either. you can say that on this planet there are certain physical traits that more frequently pop-up in certain regions, like how scandinavian people are often blonde or people of celtic origin present more often with red hair etc. it's fair to say grrm keeps it SOMEWHAT believable, like he doesn't write two blondes producing black-haired offspring or, worse, two white people having black-skinned children.
the reason i say he doesn't completely disregard real-life expected generic outcomes is because he himself resorts to this argument in the text to indicate the illegitimacy of rhaenyra's children and he presents characters in-universe having this exact train of thought => we can therefore deduce westerosi people have a reasonable expectation of how trait inheritance works in their own world from one generation to the next. and when they encounter something iffy, it rings alarm bells
anyway the point of asoiaf genetics is that you're not supposed to overthink it
lastly, rhaenyra's crimes are meddling with the line of succession by passing off her bastard childreb as true-born, endagering the inheritance laws of the realm and attempting inheritance fraud with house velaryon's titles and lands. according to how lenient her "judge" is and to how egregiously she pursued these goals, her punishment can vary from disinheritance to exile; silent sisters or death are extremely but also possible. aegon was well-within his rights to execute her for treason. if the strong boys also participated in their mother's plots, the wall or execution could have been possible.
if rhaenyra had admitted to having illegitimate children while they were still young, her father was still alive, no wars were fought yet and no harm done, then she could have got off with simply excluding the strong boys from the line of succession or, at the most, she would have lost her spot as officially-designated successor in favour of aegon, but her life could have been very comfortable and without political headaches.

Pretty good answers :) got some more if that’s ok?
1: who’s the strongest & weakest in omega?
2: how long have they been a team?
3: for Christmas, what’s the best gift they ever gotten?
4: who puts the Star on top of the tree when with their own families?
5: what’s their favorite Christmas movies?
6: what’s their favorite thing to do during the winter?
Ooooo
1. In terms of powers, Jon’s strongest and Lian/Damian weakest.
Interms of ABILITY I’d actually put Jon at the weakest. I think he relies on his powers too much to make up for any lack of skill, compared to Damian or Lian, who are able to keep up with their powered friends, or Mar’i, who was raised around the Batfam and can fight with or without her powers.
In terms of intelligence, the twins at the top with a combined IQ of 386. Colin is only at the bottom compared to the others, but don’t let that fool you. He’s the smartest when it comes to knowing the streets.
Basically, they’re all the best in one area and the weakest in another.
2. They formed when Lian (the oldest) was 13, and Mar’i (the Youngest) was almost 12, so factor that in when reading any of my fics
3. Oooooo
Milagro—Mar’i met her fashion idol at a gala (wearing one of Milagro’s designs) and managed to get her a summer internship with her. Milagro kissed Mar’i in her excitement 😂
Irey/Jai—light sabers. Like the really high tech ones. They’ll wear their Hanboks and act like they’re in a KDrama
Colin—first year they were a team, all their parents planned a surprise for him. His teammates got him fun presents, but the parents? The parents helped him get his friends nice presents, then got him furniture and clothes that were all brand new. Just for him. He hugged each of them and kept crying because he wasn’t expecting the love.
Damian—A little before Christmas (I made his birthday the same as mine, December 10th) but his favorite gift was adoption papers from Selina
Lian—Singing with her dad, after getting a new song book and guitar. It made her feel really safe and close with him
Jon— a copy of his favorite Ma Recipes. She wrote them each by hand for him and gave it with a kiss
Mar’i—she found Kor’i’s old stocking the first year on earth. Dick hung it up and, on Christmas morning, it was filled with all Kor’i’s favorite things….including the perfume she always wore. Mar’i was so excited
4. Ooo colin is always invited to everyone house and has turned into Abuse to put the star on a tree
Mar’i, again first year, didn’t fully understand when they said “Star goes on top” so she flew to the top. Usually it switches up every year between all the bat kids. Damian helps Bruce set up and light the menorah
Milagro usually puts the star on top, with Jaime lifting her.
Lian and Roy absolutely, without a question in my mind, fire an arrow into the ceiling with the star hanging over the tree
Irey and Jai also switch up
For Jon’s family, it’s usually Ma
5. Every year, without fail, they watch Klaus on Netflix. Omega also has one day they turn in Hallmark movies and just….exist.
6. Oooo depends.
Milagro (Texas girl through and through) despises the cold. She spends most her days inside knitting or embroidering. Damian is usually with her if he’s not training. He also learned to knit thanks to her and they enjoy just watching telanovelas together.
Mar’i is fascinated by the snow so she’s usually out and about. Jon takes her ice skating every year (which she’s awful at but he’s actually really good)
The twins, Lian, and Colin? Out side having snowball fights.
There has been a snowball fight amongst all omega while their families were around. Full powers, complete chaos, and the most fun they’ve ever had

just as point in fact…no one ever paired Tywin Lannister and dad-bod in the same sentence…
—Just sayin’…a mid-60s/maybe early 70s, lean, mean, ruthless, pragmatic, cunning, disciplined, battle-machine. He walked into that throne room when Cersei was about to kill herself, and her son, with more presence than Filoni’s rendition of Thrawn (no fault to Lars, but he was both not well cast, and not well directed) could to an entire ISD hanger’s worth of Fart-Gas Zombies held together by red duct tape chanting his name…which is also quite out of character, whether from Legends/canon EU books. Thrawn’s characterization with Zahn is many things, but excessive displays of aggrandizing isn’t one of them (cue: the apologetics for “but 10 years in Exile”)…it also doesn’t help that none of the actors look like they’re taking their lines seriously (and with the over-long, melodramatic pauses, long-range 10000 yard stares, and ChatGPT level dialogue, who can blame them?—no honestly, I’ve seen ChatGPT dialogue that sounded exactly like that exchange between Sabine and Ahsoka on the ship, with her training…down to the actual tags/and descriptors), and move through the space around them so stiff and hesitant, you can tell no time was taken to smooth out scenes largely cast on green-screen between the production team, and the actors. Which is why, even the action bits appear awkward, and without much dynamism.
—To each their own, but this portrayal of such a pivotal character is definitely Filoni’s (horridly, but only IMHO) misconstruction. —and as for Ezra and Sabine’s reunion…*wah-wah-wah*—whaaaa??? Anyone recall Sansa and Jon Snow’s embrace after ALL THE ABSOLUTE SHITE they’ve survived over the years? I will still rewatch that moment—ya’ll should too. It’s very cathartic compared to Gazoo-moment everyone was rewarded with, between Ezra (“Hey, Girl, Waz’Up-Word”)-lost-boy-for-a-decade-SpaceAladdin, and Sabine (I’m supposed to be in my late 20s/30?-with the emotional maturity of a teen who just lost cell phone privileges-so flipping annoying-you wish Shin actually had gutted her and decapitated her…omg—how do people think she’s *sooo awesome*—and goes shrill on a Wolf-Horse for…reasons?? Oh, dramatic tension, she’s a very tortured and *fiery* warrior…I’m a woman, and a feminist, but this ain’t how ladies should be written…this is how fanboys think STRONGFEMALECHARACTERS act…take a pass, go watch EmilyBlunt in ‘TheEdgeofTomorrow*…).
—GoTs has A LOT OF ISSUES (mostly with S7/S8 of GoT, and its early Season1 episodes were admittedly…difficult. For a while, I called it LotR with T&A$$…but by that SeasonFinale, as Daenerys stepped out of ashes with 3 lil’Bebe Dragons, and Jorah kneels to her, vowing that line, “Blood of my Blood”—a line that could have fallen in flat-trope-tripe—hell no, hello, Drama Hook. We were on Team Dany…). —Genera differences aside, Team Filoni needs to take some lessons from what the GoTs writers/producers learned as they re-vamped (apparently, an even worse original filming of S1E1 of GoTs, that went back to the drawing board, it was so awful…so urban legend/DenofGeek alleges)—get fresh eyes to look at what you’re doin’ dudes…and maybe someone who’s read the actual source material. But isn’t in love with it—like Gilroy. I still think that’s why ‘Andor’ carried such a different essence—and a much needed sophistication for how science-fiction, and SpaceOpera ought to land. Fuck, go read some DeathStalker too, if you’re looking for bombast with tropes, and a good time. Watch bloody ‘The Expanse’. Someone mentioned, if Filoni required a lesson on how to communicate back-story as a balance between narration, and scene progression, to bring a largely uninformed audience up to speed on a Universe/World building Plot mythos with which most audience isn’t familiar, watch the first 15 minutes of ‘Serenity’. And maybe the entire Season of ‘Arcane’?. —which leads to the ultimate conclusion, Thrawn shouldn’t have been used by Filoni at all in ‘Rebels’. They needed a BigBad, and he ought to have just contrived his own generic Imperial of the Week. Which is what he did. And named it Thrawn. And yes, I know, supposedly he consulted Zahn. I’m more convinced, Zahn is diplomatic, and either felt (as he’d mentioned a few years ago), he was done writing Thrawn��s arc, and so, resigned his BlueManArtLovingAdmiral to the Disney drain of EU archives from which Disney borrows when it can’t be bothered to create its own original characters; or, he’s going to quietly retcon Thrawnius back into Zahn shape—given the rumors of recent months where he seems to have reconsidered revisiting Thrawn/Chiss arcs. Who knows? —My suspicion with ‘Rebels’ (of which, I completely can figure out the story-line, *secret*—it’s not that complicated for anyone who’s read any sort of children’s literature, or young adult books through their youth. Yes, I’ve tried watching episodes—it’s a cartoon made for kids—would’a loved as a kid…probably/maybe? As an adult, I’m wondering what other fodder people read and watch to consider this *quality*). I think what no one admits is, the animated series needed a big name from popular Lore to draw viewers, so there was computer-animated, cartoon-Thrawn…Filoni’s Disney Imperial. —okay, soap box rant done—we all have our OPs. I’m holding out for Andor/S2, but after that, cancelling Disney+. Actually, might even cancel before, and just renew when Andor/S2 comes out…

I want that!!
Ok, but I hope you know what you’ve gotten yourself into:
Ned Stark: like I said before #1 dad (I read somewhere that he’s based on Duke Leto, who I also adore for being the best father he can be in his circumstances). But also, I really just love his sense of honor and need to do what’s right, which is so at odds with everyone around him. He just wants to make the people he cares for happy, one of his driving motives to take Robert’s offer as hand of the king. He’s someone who doesn’t want to play the twisted games, who doesn’t want to manipulate and backstab and double cross, and I respect and love him so so much.
Catelyn Stark: do I despise her for the way she treated Jon? Yes absolutely. Do I admire her for her strength and resilience? Yes absolutely. She cares so much for her children, she’d quite literally die for them, she stopped a knife with her bare hands for one of her sons, she crossed a terrible terrain full of giants to bring who she thought tried to kill her son to justice. She loves her family, and she’d do anything for them. I understand her bitterness at the fact that Ned cheated on her, and Jon’s a reminder of that, but I think I’d respect her a tiny bit more if she was able to look past that and care for Jon the way he deserved. Still, she’s a kick ass mom and I love her.
Robb Stark: my sweet boy :( little baby :( I think my attachment to the Stark children stems from the books, where they’re twelve or fourteen or ten and still experiencing the things they went through in the show at twenty or eighteen or fourteen. He’s just a child, and he had so much placed on his shoulders. Just like his father, he only wants to do the right thing. He believes in justice, and that’s the only reason he became King of the North and started a war: for justice for his father. I think he was a great leader, and his only downfall was how trusting and kind he was, to enemies and allies alike, and that’s what really pushed him towards his demise.
Jon Snow: my son, my sweet little guy, I love him so much. I’d literally die for him. I’d kill for him. If he got one thing from Ned, it’s his honor. Honor means everything to Jon, in every situation. The way he felt so fucking upset with himself when he had to keep switching from the Night’s Watch to the Wildlings and then back again. He just wants to do the right thing. He wants to be an honorable leader, which is so difficult to do within that universe. Idk man I just really fucking love Jon Snow (and I refuse to acknowledge whatever the fuck happened with his ‘parents’ in season 8)
Sansa Stark: it took me much longer to warm up to her in the show (at no hate to Sophie Turner, I absolutely adore her), but her arc is one of my favorites. I love the strength she finds within herself, and how she can still find it in herself to be kind. She forgives her siblings, she becomes a leader when all she wanted before was to essentially be a trophy wife. I love watching her reach her potential, watched her fight back and resist in any way she could. I think she and Arya show so well how different resistance can look, how different it can be for people to be strong, and I love her, despite the rocky start to my relationship with her
Arya Stark: my girl! I’ve been rooting for her since day one, I love feral little girls who just want to run wild. I adore the relationship she had with Ned, how he supported her and found her a teacher and really just wanted her to be happy. Honestly, I can’t help feeling proud of her, for all of the things she did at such a young age. She’s a spiteful, revengeful little girl, and I’d do anything to protect her. There’s something about the way she literally never stops fighting, how she keeps trying over and over and over until something works out for her. She’s dealt the worst possible hand in life, and yet she kept fighting, never giving up no matter what happened to her.
Brandon Stark: my least favorite Stark, sorry not sorry. I just think he spent so much time only thinking of himself and only trying to help himself. I know he’s a child and I’m probably being too hard on him, but I honestly just think he’s really annoying
Rickon Stark: I don’t have much to say about him except poor baby :(
