"I've never seen such anger in a girl" and it's literally just a nine-year-old being quiet after an upsetting event, Arya really experiencing the universal girlhood experience of having your emotions policed for not responding in the "right" way

#arya stark #asoiaf #grown man shaking in his boots about a little girl not showing /softer/ emotions but y'all don't see how Arya faces misogyny #she can't even be quiet and upset in peace without being judged for it 🙃#reminds me of when Cat was told she couldn't understand the desire for revenge cause she's a woman #this is why relying on other character's opinions of Arya will always fall flat cause it's tinged with their society's misogyny #and will always be unfairly critical toward her because she's non-conforming...it's not an objective assessment #but that nuance is a little too advanced for this fandom to comprehend they're still stuck on /sometimes the curtains are just blue/#I have a whole longer meta on this topic drafted that I'm too lazy to finish (for now)
