Do yall ever think about the tully siblings childhoods???

Before years of animosity set in, you could find tiny versions of cat and lysa splashing around in the river bank with their septa watching fondly on the shore.

Do you ever think of cat and lysa creeping into her mothers room after she's given birth, excited to see her new sibling. How she hesitates to fully go in as her sister pushes past her to rush to their mother and how both sisters melt at the sight of their brother.

Do you think about lysa trying to get edmure to speak her name first? lysa sneaking into the nursery late at night and whispering to the babe all the thing she can't wait for them to do together.

do you ever think of catelyn, having just turned 14, clutching her siblings close when they are given the news their mother died? how the three of them sit, waiting for their father to come and comfort them.

I often think about the next day, when the three of them wake up with their bodies aching both from the floor they slept on and the cold realization that they lost their father as well as their mom

Minisa Whent-Tully

The Whents are such a fun house, they live in a HAUNTED CASTLE and their sigil is a BAT. The Whents are vampires headcanon confirmed (there's a Lady Stoneheart vampire theory here somewhere) .

I didn't really want to portray Minisa as sweet or diminutive. I can't see anyone who grew up in Harrenhall of all places to not have some fangs. You can be a beloved wife and mother and also be creepy AF.

The Riverlands pre-rebellion to me are the epitome of Post-Roman Pre-Anglo Saxon fashion in the Scottish isles. Gallic influences mingling with drapery, rich dyes, and fine metalwork. Post-Rebellion, there's less of an anti-Targ backlash style-wise, simply because there's less of a stark (ha) difference between the Riverlands and KL. Nobles begin to prefer less draping in favour of tighter tailoring and heavier embroidery, but that's about it.

I feel like if anyone would preserve a stylistic time capsule like Druidic face paint for centuries after the conquest, it would be vassal houses surrounding a superstitious and mystical place like Harrenhall.

The research that led me to my Baratheon escoiffin post also let me discover a style resembling bat ears that would be perfect for House Whent. I can imagine her wearing this in the Riverlands when she feels homesick. She just colors it with the House Tully colors (that she gives a goth edge because House Whent is the local goth chapter of the Riverlands).

Credit goes to @15-lizards inspiring the Riverlands clothing.

Etymology of the Tully’s Names

Hoster: most likely an invented name derived from the word host, probably a world building reference to the importance of guest right.

Minisa: either a misspelling of the Greek name Melissa (bee, honey) or a reference to the Minisa Symphony Orchestra in Wichita, with minisa being a Chippewa word meaning "red water at sunset."

Brynden: probably invented from the Welsh name and surname Bryn (hill). Brynden also sounds exactly like the Spanish verb brinden (to drink a toast, to offer, to dedicate). It could also be a misspelling of Brandon, which derivated from the Irish name Breandán (prince, king, chieftain).

Lysa: a misspelling of Lisa, which could be the short form of the Hebrew name Elizabeth (my God is an oath, my God is abundance), the Hebrew name Aliza (joyful) or the Greek name Melissa (bee, honey). The last one would explain why there’s so many honeycomb references in the Eyrie’s descriptions.

Edmure: a misspelling of Edmund, an Old English name composed by the words ēad (wealth, fortune, prosperous) and mund (protector). Basically the same meaning as Edward. It could also be an anagram of the word “demure.”

Roslin: it could be a misspelling of the Old German name Rosalind (gentle, tender horse) or the Old German/Spanish name Rosalinda (beautiful rose). I think one of the Freys made an angry comment about Edmure wanting to count her teeth like a horse before they married.

Lady Minisa Tully had died in childbed, trying to give Lord Hoster a second son. The baby had perished with her, and afterward some of the life had gone out of Father. She was always so calm, Catelyn thought, remembering her mother's soft hands, her warm smile.
