#arya is kinda a bitch but

[amber-laughs]

why does sansa instantly become so so so so much kind after agot? like in her first acok chapter she saves ser dontos, putting herself at great risk while in her second to last chapter in agot she’s bitching that jeyne is crying and was kinda very mean to arya like do I need to reread the books bc how come she becomes so different simply bc her fathers head was chopped off. like that’s not a small thing obviously but it doesn’t change someone’s personality so drastically , even when she becomes alayne and starts to heal (Alayne loved it here. She felt alive again, for the first since her father...since Lord Eddard Stark had died) she’s still incredibly nice like what’s up

That's a really good question and my simple answer is that her class and status changed so her worldview did along with it.

It's not a question of "is Sansa mean?" it's "does Sansa understand the gravity of what she's reacting to?" your example of her not extending much empathy to Jeyne Poole is a great one! at that moment Sansa doesn't understand what the audience understands, she thinks the Lannisters are on her side and that everything is going to be okay. She's a very sheltered girl because she's one of the highest born children in Westeros, Jeyne Poole is a steward's daughter who may have more of a sense of the dangers of upsetting the people above her. More importantly Jeyne saw the killings take place and knows exactly how bad things are, Sansa still thinks her father or Septa Mordane will come see her. it's sort of like Sansa thinks she's in a lockdown drill at school and Jeyne knows it's an active shooter.

For a second she thought she might cry. "Where are you sending her? She hasn't done anything wrong, she's a good girl." A Game of Thrones - Sansa IV

She does have a desire to protect Jeyne back in Agot which is the aspect that bleeds over into her protecting Ser Dontos so there is precedence for that part of her it just never really needed to be utilized until now. The argument against that is her coldness toward the murder of Mycah which is definitely egregious and one of Sansa's major flaws. There's nuance to that situation though, Lady was part of her soul and had just been murdered on account of that debacle so you can argue that she wasn't in the proper headspace which I think is fair but I prefer to see that part of her story as an early view into the classism of Westeros. Like I said I think that's what mainly changed Sansa's perspective, she didn't care about Mycah because he was a nobody but soon Sansa will lose her station and know what it is to be looked down upon, laughed at, violated and mistreated. The Ser Dontos situation is, in my opinion, a direct foil to the Mycah situation. Sansa now understands Joffrey's cruelty and is vehemently against it and wants to stand against it as much as she can.

The Arya situation? Yes. She is mean to Arya I don't know why some people try to say she wasn't. I think it's an over correction because some fans act like she was beating her with brooms and treating her like Carrie at the prom but yes lol she was definitely mean but there is still love between them on both sides. These girls are very young they're 11 and 9 when we meet them so it's not something that I would hold up to her further arc in the sense that just because someone doesn't get along with their little sister doesn't mean they condone senseless murder.

The Alayne storyline, again a direct callback to her earlier characterization, and again something that people try to over correct. Yes, Sansa did think less of Jon because he's a bastard. No, Sansa was not purposefully cruel to Jon. These foils in her story are how and why she's changing. After Ned dies every part of her that was once protected by the feudal system is being stripped from her one after the other.

"You are well born, and the Starks of Winterfell were always proud, but Winterfell has fallen and you are really just a beggar now, so put that pride aside. Gratitude will better become you, in your present circumstances. Yes, and obedience. My son will have a grateful and obedient wife." A Storm of Swords - Sansa VI

"Their dreams were full of songs and stories, the way hers had been before Joffrey cut her father's head off. Sansa pitied them. Sansa envied them." A Storm of Swords - Sansa II

"Jon Snow was the only brother that remained to her. I am a bastard too now, just like him." Feast for Crows - Alayne II

at least that’s my interpretation of it

[atopvisenyashill]

Okay if you're in hater mode I get to ask the question I've been dying to ask for a while: top five dumbest criticisms of hotd.

And on the flip side, top five dumbest moments in got.

EXCELLENT.

“they’re excusing the targaryens practices bc of the prophecy.” no, they are not. just because someone has a magical reason for doing something does not make them inherently justified. cersei has magical reasons to suspect both sansa & tyrion of treachery does that mean the way she treats them is justified? of course not. aegon having a dream, and rhaenyra being motivated by that dream, is not “excusing” anyone and i need everyone to get a fucking grip.

“alicent has overstayed her welcome in the narrative” the story is called the princess and the queen. their sides are named after them, not after rhaenyra and aegon. aegon means nothing in this conflict. it’s alicent who helps kick it off, it’s alicent who is the titular queen, it’s alicent who gives them the name the greens, it’s alicent who rhaenyra has an issue with. not fucking aegon.

“they took away rhaenyra’s femininity” no they didn’t but even if they did you can eat my ass about it

“alyn is anachronistic bc he yells at his deadbeat noble father” idek what to say to this one it’s so goofy.

how do i choose only five. the baela stuff (“rhaenyra is usurping her!!!”) irked the shit out of me, but i think a lot of the “it’s transphobic to do butch rhaenyra/trans rhaenyra” stuff made me lose my mind but that’s kinda related to the other point, when people would be like “you can’t compare aegon to alicent, he’s a rapist and she’s a rape victim” you guys….maybe the “you’re porn brained if you call alicent & her relationships w her kids emotional incest” bc like, if you’re going to bitch at least be aware of what you’re bitching about!! emotional incest is a term commonly used to describe parent-child dysfunctional dynamics like!!!!!!

top 5 dumbest got moments

“bran can’t feel anymore” and we just don’t engage with that ever again in any sort of substantial way

jaime just fucking off to dorne? to get myrcella because ?????

arya getting mad over sansa’s hostage letter enough to try to kill her. they couldn’t even go for the fucking ship plot that everyone is always bitching about bc they cut that from the show, so arya just gets nonsensically mad bc sansa wrote a letter saying “please bend the knee” while her father was in the dungeons and she was alone and 13. okay.

the shae knife scene. maybe this isn’t the worst offender but it still hands out to me like i remember watching it and going “no….surely not???”

can’t even say “they forgot about the iron fleet” bc the entire way the iron fleet is written is dumb. i said this before but someone just announces they have the fleet and then at the end of the season they get shit kicked and someone else announces they have it. this happens like 5 times in a row. genuinely might as well have just cut all the greyjous but theon at that point like 😭

[modern-inheritance]

Ket: Ay, Ari!

Arya: What now? Kinda busy at the moment.

Ket: Nah, nah, I know. Just was wondering what we should do with this.

Ket: *wave/flops Islanzadí’s removed arm around*

Arya: *unintelligable curse in about eight different languages and dialects* PUT THAT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT YOU FREAK OF NATURE–

Ket: BITCH! THIS THING IS JUST IN A FUCKING METAPHORICAL CARDBOARD BOX RIGHT NOW, WHAT THE FUCK DO ELVES DO WITH THEIR REMOVED LIMBS?!

Arya: ONCE AGAIN, /ASK GLEN!/

Glen: I DON’T KNOW EITHER SHE HASN’T WRITTEN THAT PART FOR ME YET!

Arya: JUST PUT IT BACK

Ket: *angry noise of frustrated author and 3 point swish shoots Islanzadi’s arm into the same box as Glaedr’s leg*

Ket: You two better come up with something elfy by the time I get off work.

Glen: we are literally the least elfy elves out there what the hell

Arya: Go find Brom. Brom always knows what to do. Even if he’s wrong he knows to do SOMETHING.

[qyburnsghost]

If you had the chance to change something about the dance of the dragons (TV show or book), what would it be? For example, how a character dies, which team a house is on,or an entire character personally. How would you change it to make the story better, in your opinion?♥️🖤💙💚

wow i almost missed this question! book wise i'm kinda okay with everything although i would say some people deserved to die more brutally than what they got ..

on the show however i would change so much… i would keep most of the book plot. if we have to do the rhaelicent friendship i would make it more in depth but keep it as toxic as it is. i would keep the book part where laena and rhaenyra are very close and possibly lovers. . it would be a good contrast to show the difference between real friendship and toxic friendship. i would give rhaneyra and alicent more conviction and agency. alot of times they are going back and forth instead of making decisions they want or for themselves. i would keep daemon more like book daemon, yes hes mercurial and hot tempered but he loves his family and various women, on the show it seems he only loves himself, not even his own kids. i would have kept how he got laena which was killing her fiance to have her, i'd show how much he loved her instead of treating her like shit and i would keep rhaenyra and laenor frequent visits to her and daemon and how she flied her personal maester to try to save her, and i would get rid of her stupid death scene, and keep the book version where he carries her to her dragon and him and rhaenyra stayed vigil over her body, that way when they fuck at her funeral it can be in grief instead of the most disrespectful shit ever, maybe then their kids wont look so fucking dejected at their wedding. oh yea i would make it seem like daemon actually loves his daughters instead of walking away from them after their mom dies and ignoring them after they got punched and pushed by a boy instead of smiling in the corner like a jackass... wait why am i rewriting everything?

i would have kept the scene where younger rhaenyra plays with baby aegon, i would have rhaenyra and aegon actually interact at least ONCE before they decide to go to war with each other. id have rhae actually have a moment or two with harwin so ppl won't be shocked she has 3 kids by him without even a kiss.i would like aemond to actually interact with helaena!

i would have like to known how cripsy was able to kill a guest at a wedding IN FRONT OF EVERYONE

i would have alicent smother viserys in his sleep, sorry.. or perhaps poisoning him this whole time, not this OOPS i heard a prophecy wrong

also fuck that prophecy, its worthless in the end, since arya fucking stark kills the NK she never knew or met before, truly aegon,viserys and rhaenyra are following a prophecy that ENDS HOUSE TARGARYEN, why the fuck would they even keep it in the show. my ass itches everytime they mention it

i would like to know how jace and luke feel being bastards , i would actually like to get to know them and the dragon twins. id let the older dragon twins actually have LINES instead of cutting them or nothing at all. also how stupid to cut baela scene, because when rhaenys joins you have no fucking idea why cause she was jjust like 'bye bitch this not my problem' after coming out the fucking ground after doing a terrorist attack

I would like to know why the velaryons are such fucking doormats for targaryens, corlys brother died and hes like WHOOPS. bitch your daughter is dead and you think they killed your son, what you mean oops.

i would have kept or had laena claiming of vhagar to see how its different than aemond. since they want him to be making mistakes and shit and having statements like we don't control dragons or not to be played with, well we see laena use her dragon for playing and fun even shooting fire and the dragon does eventually obey her and kill her (stupid shit) so we may as know why she had a better hold on vhagar. i wouldn't have made storms end a complete accident but rather a crime of passion.. so like the book he meant to kill him but once its over, 'what have i done?' its a Pyrrhic victory, he's drawn first blood and everyone will pay.. 'what did i do?'

season 2, no way i would merge rhaena with nettles, they have nothing AND I MEAN NOTHING in common .. a rich privileged timid girl whose already entitled to dragon and doesn't really need to pavlov dog a dragon vs a poor orphan who has nothing, possibly not even blood..just intelligence... can you imagine rhaena grabbing a sheep and slaughtering it ? i'm not even royalty or rich and i can't imagine grabbing one and bringing it anywhere for any purpose even if its a gain. and if shes getting shepherds help, even more boring. it doesn't hit the same but nice to know that just because addam and rhaena are black in the show, they are some how interchangeable with her, also cutting her has alot of consequences for battle scenes, for motivations,for changes in characters personality, for questions about blood and magic of targaryens and what she later becomes for the future which appears in later game of thrones books.

so for the long rant perhaps this was too much..

[esther-dot]

i don’t think any asoiaf shippers have taken a fatter L than braimes lol brienne writing about jaime in that book after he left her crying and begging to go back to his sister is so cruel 😭

After the finale, in the midst of our bitch fest, some of us did acknowledge that our ship got off kinda light? Arya fucked and then rejected Gendry, Jaime fucked and then abandoned Brienne, Jon fucked and then killed Dany…at least our couple protected each other, loved each other, and circumstances, not their desires, prevented them from being together. As I always say, even when we lose we win! 😂.

I have wondered if D&D had some special antipathy for Braime though because they made it so demeaning for Brienne. Instead of evolving - heated convo into a kiss and then sex or something somewhat natural, they led into the sex scene by mocking Brienne for being a virgin and then made poor Brienne beg Jaime to stay…it was such a shitty thing to do to her after her highpoint of being knighted. Leaving it there would have been so much more respectful of the characters. D&D made so many choices in the end that felt cruel, cruel to the characters and to the fans. So strange.

My Boyfriends Predicts each Game of Thrones Season Finale pt.3

A/N: My man get back from his cruise tomorrowww!!! Then it’s on to season 4! Also he told his his dads favorite episode is the red wedding 😭😭😭 my baby don’t know what that is and was like “yeah I can’t wait to watch that episode then” 🤦‍♀️

[daenystheedreamer]

10, 11, 13, 21 for the hate game?

worst part of fanon

more a general fandom thing but when characters are boiled down to a trope. happens a lot in m/m fanfic because its all like romcoms essentially and since theyre gay they cant just have a gay best friend character they need a girl best friend. often the girl best friend is the canonical girlfriend of one of the guys in the pairing cos the author feels bad about ignoring her. and she is either super nice and cute or she is the sassy bitch. (example for the les mis freaks: cosette is the former, eponine is the latter. IYKYK) HATE this shit soooo much. sansa arya margaery ygritte The Jeynes all fall victim to this. they'll be there to quip and say '🙄 you boys are so stupid im #smartgirl you guys are obviously in love' basically becoming an author surrogate. cringe and evil and sexist despite being a transparent attempt at staying feminist cos you feel bad about ignoring women in favour of yaoi.

number of fandom-related words you've filtered

specifically asoiaf:

i just find them particularly annoying. looking through i realised i dont have much asoiaf stuff blacklisted... i think its because i like looking at things that make me mad. i like the adrenaline 😈 remind me to spend an hour blocking all the x reader tags im sick of seeing them and they never just tag it x reader. eugh.

worst blorboficiation

look. as a maegor the rapist and joffrey the psychopath blorbofier i really cant judge. i mean THEON is problematique and also a rapist. but its honestly aegon ii.... i dont get it!!! the eldest son thing + I GUESS jilted by his father is the only parts i get. he's just boring and lame and sucks idk 😭!!! he's just a incel to me im sowwy.... maybe if i actually watched hotd id like him Who knows. god and he doesnt even fuck a milf... the actor is cute though i like his british face.

for the main series. im sorry its roose!!! i follow and am followed by wonderful roosegirls but ill never understand it. girl WHY. roosefuckers i understand but roose as ur meow meow? ur poor meow meow?? genuinely please explain to me i am so curious...

part of canon you think is overhyped

idk if im answering this right but azor ahai/prince that was promised. i cant get into it. there are prophecies i love like the valonqar or the quaithe stuff but AA/PTWP are kinda mid... i think its because people too often use it as a way to go like MY guy is the most important no its MY guy. and its like guys thats so fckn lame!!! you cannot convince me that aa/ptwp are the Main point of the story

[pettyshippen]

This is What I Call, the Start of Season 3 of Libertys Kids

Sybil Ludington

I first learned about her from Rejected Princesses and have fallen if love with her. She’s like Arya Stark.

Funny because Sarah and Sybil would have a Sansa and Arya dynamic

James is a natural horseman now

Sybil straight up ready to kill

‘I’m so proud of my daddy who has a target on his head’

“But why aren’t you fighting?” Imagine Sarah heard that and said “Listen bitch,”

Sarahs ballgown should just be solid pink

Of course Arnold sees Sarah right away. Thank goodness she has a chaperone. I bet Mrs. Adams knows he’s kinda flirty with her and keeps an eye on them.

“I had hoped our paths would cross paths again Ms. Phillips, away from the field of battle” GOD why aren’t they waltzing while he’s saying this, that would be intense.

In fact their entire conversation could have been discussed while they were waltzing but that would take the animators way more work.

Imagine Benedict starting his passionate rant while dancing and then dancing

Sybil gotta be starting shit for no reason

I bet Sarah and Hannah would bond tho.

“I’m coming” “Like hell you are”

Sybils eager af to fight

She’s that girl at school that would punch the bully for me

The last shot of the entire city on fire before the dramatic music plays 😱😱

They just shot a fucking cannonball at a house

Sneaking out to go report hell yeah

Imagine getting to storm into a place on a horse. Kickass.

Once again, Sarah stalks Arnold into a danger zone

The horse even went into the water

It’s like that scene from home alone

Stupid af but it worked

Arnold is done with this army shit. He worked hard to earn that rank.

“I’ve come to think of you as like a daughter.”

“He’s destroying himself with his own bitterness and anger.”

I feel like Sybil would be mean af to Sarah just because she’s British and Sarahs doing her best to stay civil and in control. And then James would yell “Enough Sybil! She’s my friend!”

Lafayette Arrives

The drag episode 💄

Course Bens surrounded by bitches

Instant connection between Henri and Lafayette. You know he’s gonna adopt this child.

How old is Henri supposed to be by now? Thirteen I’d say. He should be growing.

Henris like I adopted this French guy

I need a dramatic retelling of Lafayettes drag escapade

LiberTAY

Lafayette would be the most anticipated

Why is Henri allowed in Congress

Wtf just a second ago ya’ll didn’t want him

What if politicians gathered for meetings in bars?

Lafayette is an America fanboy

They’re like ewwww it’s French

Omg he’s coming this way

Pretend it’s chicken and dumplins

RETREAT CALMLY

Ben is cunning af

We’re French but we’re American Yay

The Hessians Are Coming

Those girls aren’t the Schuyler sisters are they

Those laughs are not believable

No, they’re German girls

When he’s an asshole but his horse loves you

Here he goes ranting again.

“I learned it from school lol” “Who needs to go to school to build forts”

“Are you trying to sway the Hessians into leaving us?” “I’m a reporter jackass”

“I’m not a soldier, I’m a musician” Yeah like how Tom was not a soldier but a scientist

“Your witness is dead so you’re guilty”

Another victory for Arnold that will be ignored

James and this German dude had to puss next to each other for weeks.

“You guys are cannibals” whut

Will both of you stop acting like dicks please.

That’s more like it.

Arnold gets screwed over so much

That poor little german boy. Of course he didn’t want this James.

Arnold marching into battle shamelessly without permission.

Arnold saved James life without knowing it

Yeah we all quit

Sarahs reaction to Arnold having his leg shot is not realistic at all. L

Polish guy said go to school

Oh his name is Gunther

The last line of this episode did not age well at all.

Valley Forge

Arnold (the ARNOLD) is in this!?

Oh look mini log cabins

Von Strudel really came in on a sled like the white witch

“No meat! No meat!”

RIP Aaron Carter. This poor kid.

So its like diet bread

I can feel the cold

Girl went outside in the cold after being outside for stays

Where did the gust of wind go?

I love Lafayettes loyalty

Imagine having to poop outside in the snow

Bare ass exposed to the snow cold

“Corporal, yell at him for me.”

“How can I appreciate what you don’t have?”

Henri would definitely become a soldier in the adult version of the show

Henris the mascot. I need him in an eagle mascot costume now.

Imagine an eagle sports mascot fighting a king george mascot.

This dude is obnoxious

Ok now not so much

Omg Franklin sent Von Strudel

George Washington being a dad

Slide to the left. Slide to the left. Cha cha real smooth.

Sarah why aren’t you more worried

Allies at Last

Here comes Peggy Shippen

Nice dress Ben

That excited little barefoot leap on the cold concrete ground

Smart move on James and Moses

So without Ben or Moses around, that would put Sarah in charge. Since she’s still loyalist I’m sure she welcomed Andre at first

“The less I say about her, the better.”

Sarah, are you dancing with tory guys at these balls? I bet you are.

And now she wants Andre and Peggy out and I don’t blame her.

Oh look, hats

Oh no Moses the white guy your name is on the list

“I’m suddenly in the mood for English tea” petty Ben

Why are they telling Sarah all this stuff, she’s friends with Americans

Poor Henri being laughed at

“Have you forgotten that you are English?” “Not in the slightest.”

But Moses seems like such a nice guy

SIGN A PUBLIC OATH OF LOYALTY

“This is because I’m Jewish.”

Pop off White Moses

Oh you motherfucker

Oh now you wanna sign it

“A lot more people will have to stand up for equality to come true.”

And now France is their ally.

[hello-nichya-here]

Not saying all Zuko or Sansa stans are like this, but as a fan of both characters it does kinda annoy me when the give parts of Aang or Arya's storyline to their so-called faves ("The Cave of Two Lovers", Appa/Momo, Nymeria, being Jon's favorite sister, etc). Zuko and Sansa don't need Arya and Aang's accessories; they're already interesting enough on their own.

PREACH! I keep saying, the Avatar fandom doesn't like the real, complex, deep character Zuko is. They like the awkward turtle duck that is scared of everything and wouldn't hurt a fly, can have all of his issues resolved by getting a hug from whatever girl they ship him with/use as a self-insert to fantasize about him. Plus, a lot of people are REALLY butthurt that Aang is the protagonist, not him.

As for Sansa, oh my God, the fandom is fucking stupid when it comes to her. Like, I've seen people try to give her Arya's, Lyanna's, Dany's, Jon's, and even Cersei's and Littlefinger's traits/plots. And ALL these people claim to like her, which is clearly not true.

Also, the way GOT essentially validated that by doing dumb shit like making her wear armor for no real to show she's "badass", praise her brilliance for "discovering" nonsensical plots, and, more important, completely dropping her Vale plot and instead gave her Jeyne's story so she could be abused again, to an even worse degree.

Then they had the fucking nerve of having her saying "Well, if I had not been imprisoned, humiliated, beaten, raped and nearly killed, I wouldn't be this cynical, bitchy, arrogant, stupid, fake shell of a 'cool character' the showrunners want me to be, so I'm happy all of that happened" and SOMEHOW didn't realize what they're saying is just "put the dumb bitch in her place", not them making her a stronger character.

I REALLY could make a whole meta on how GOT ruined Sansa and Arya as characters by completely missing the point of their arcs.

Arya's went from "The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives" to "Fuck you, got mine". Sansa's went from "Hope and kindness are the only things that can lead to the end of all this horrors" to "I'm grateful to my abusers for showing me how the world works."

Like I said before, these people saw all of the Stark girls interactions with the Hound and didn't realize that their dynamics are about the girls defeating his cynism, proving him wrong, and saving him from himself - Sansa even explicitly prays that the gods will gentle the rage inside of him, and last we hear of Sandor, we are told "The Hound is dead, Sandor Clegane is at rest"

[sherlokiness]

It seems like you're a rhaelya shipper but also kinda weird you don't like Lyanna.

Hi, anon! Thanks for the ask.

I don't consider myself a rhaelya shipper. I just suspect that Rhaegar and Lyanna will be "in love" in the books as well. It's just that it won't be like in the show where Rhaegar annulled his marriage and that the rebellion was a "lie." The romanticization was off the charts!!!!

I don't like Lyanna precisely because her affair with Rhaegar will be consensual. If she were really the helpless maiden who was repeatedly raped by Rhaegar like Robert said then she would have my full sympathies. But Ned said she had the "wolf blood" and it led to her demise so we could assume she had some culpability in her death. That's not something a brother would say about his beloved sister being a rape victim. She's 15 and a grown woman in Westerosi standards. Cersei was only 15 when Tywin wanted to match her with Rhaegar. Lyanna might have ran away with Rhaegar bc she'd have been dead if Aerys' men found her but falling in love with him and even marrying him would have been of her own volition. Fairly certain Rhaegar would love her too since it's been confirmed that Lyanna was the woman's name he uttered while he was dying. Saying your rape victim's name in your last moment is just ridiculous. Alternatively, I have a hard time picturing Lyanna clutching the dead roses she loved that her supposed rapist had given her. Or you could argue she's so angry that she's clutching the flowers from the man who caused her all this misery? She should have dumped them in the chamberpot. Stockholm Syndrome? Arya and Sansa hated their captors more the longer they were with them. Lyanna was a selfish... bitch but their going in hiding would have been "forgiven" eventually by the parties involved, I believe. Rickard had southron ambitions and his only daughter just married the crown prince. He might need to soften the ruffled Baratheon feathers but he'd acquiesce. Let's remember that the rebellion happened only after Aerys called for Robert's and Ned's heads - months after the kidnapping.

In essence, R and L were both idiots. Rhaegar specially, thinking the prophecy would somehow protect him from dying.

staying in the north because that’s home

we’re doing theon chapters next lads it’s about to get very sad in here. also theon has more chapters so this one is a little longer. tldr on theon’s adwd arc:

FIRSTLY I kept track of his reek rhymes it goes leek bleak meek leek squeak cheek leak weak freak sneak wreak peek freak shriek meek peek weak sneak

Secondly, just for reference, his chapter names are Reek I, Reek II, Reek III, The Prince of Winterfell, The Turncloack, A Ghost in Winterfell, and Theon. When I saw “Theon” I genuinely cheered out loud.

I like these chapters a lot because there’s a lot to analyze without (at least to me) being all that plot heavy. They just like, go to a wedding then hang out at Winterfell. Meanwhile Theon is losing his mind and also connecting spiritually with a nine year old.

I think it’s soooo funny that everyone is like “oh that Tully Temper” as if the northmen aren’t just as unpleasant as cat hoster lysa edmure and blackfish lol. like these are the bitchiest people in the world omg.

let’s goo

we are just opening with eating a alive rat let’s get into this shit.

kyra story is horrifying. the characterization for her is interesting as she introduces us to ramsay's little most dangerous game playground - ramsay truly sets her free to give her a headstart and she realizes she won't be able to find her way home on her own so she goes to the one person she knows is both skilled enough to help and likely willing to help, which is theon. but theon in that moment is still just steeped in his selfishness; he's almost more angry at kyra for not splitting up so he could get away than at ramsay for hunting them down and gruesomely murdering her.

Ramsay was clad in black and pink—black boots, black belt and scabbard, black leather jerkin over a pink velvet doublet slashed with dark red satin. In his right ear gleamed a garnet cut in the shape of a drop of blood.

the DRIP omg once again angry that the Northerners all wear the exact same ugly outfit when we could have gotten THIS

THEONSA QUOTE

but also his "she is only a girl" about arya marrying ramsay....that hurt me too

No. I never thought we would. They’re dead. Lord Wyman had them killed. That’s what I would have done if I was him.

first of all - i love this evil little kid lmao

second of all - i love that he very pragmatically is like "yeah those bitches should have realized they were gonna get got"

third of all - kinda love that he hangs around talking to theon. as i've been thinking about who will get the twins at the end, I think what's interesting here is that Little Walder, the "stupid" one, is the Frey that latches onto Ramsay while Big Walder, the "smart" one, seems to talk to everyone there, more intent on gathering information than purposefully currying favor with any one person, even from lowly, broken little Reek.

After the scratch the Young Wolf gave Lord Rickard, that may be somewhat less true than formerly. Be that as it may. Lord Stannis has taken Deepwood Motte from the ironmen and restored it to House Glover. Worse, the mountain clans have joined him, Wull and Norrey and Liddle and the rest. His strength is growing.

so we’re at Winterfell. This is how it shakes out-

WINTERFELL, STARK LOYALISTS: Manderly, Hornwood, Cerwyn, Tallhart, Locke, Hothor “Whoresbane” Umber WINTERFELL, BOLTON LOYALISTS: Bolton, Frey WINTERFELL, SHADY GROUPS: Ryswell, Dustin, FF Flints, Stout WITH STANNIS: Mors “Crowsfood” Umber, Mountain Clans (First Flints, Wulls, Liddles, Harclays, etc), Mormont, Glover, possibly WW Flints as well? IN THE WIND: Reed, Karstark, Skagosi

just listing that here so i have it somewhere.

"Has my bastard ever told you how I got him?” That he did know, to his relief. “Yes, my … m’lord. You met his mother whilst out riding and were smitten by her beauty.” “Smitten?” Bolton laughed. “Did he use that word? Why, the boy has a singer’s soul."

this one hurt my feelings. Especially in conjunction with Roose's "don't make me regret the day I raped your mother" and the way that's the comment that really gets under Ramsay's skin - I think he much prefers to tell himself that Roose was simply ~overcome with lust~ for his mother's beauty rather than Roose thinking she wasn't even worth the time it took to rape her

"You could be my man." "I'm no one's man."

screaming

interesting how both Barbrey and Wyman distrust Maesters

"And be quick about it. If she’s not wet by the time I’m done disrobing, I will cut off that tongue of yours and nail it to the wall.” Somewhere in the godswood, a raven screamed.

that's Bran btw

“Please,” he murmured through his broken teeth, “I never meant …” The words caught in his throat. “Save me,” he finally managed. “Give me …” What? Strength? Courage? Mercy? Snow fell around him, pale and silent, keeping its own counsel. The only sound was a faint soft sobbing. Jeyne, he thought. It is her, sobbing in her bridal bed. Who else could it be? Gods do not weep. Or do they? The sound was too painful to endure. Theon grabbed hold of a branch and pulled himself back to his feet, knocked the snow off his legs, and limped back toward the lights. There are ghosts in Winterfell, he thought, and I am one of them.

THAT'S BRAN TOO. GODS WEEP AND THEY WEEP FOR YOU AND JEYNE THEON!!!!

The girls were glad to see him. They knew him by his smell. Red Jeyne loped over to lick at his hand, and Helicent slipped under the table and curled up by his feet, gnawing at a bone. They were good dogs.

i'm curious if this will come up again - that Ramsay's dogs know Theon (because he sleeps with them) and they seem to like him, and they're fairly well behaved despite being raised by Ramsay.

The gods could not kill Bran any more than I could. It was a strange thought and stranger still to remember that Bran might still be alive.

screaming

so there's the murdery mystery plot. what's interesting to me here is that once we get to the Prince of Winterfell, Theon stops referring to himself as Reek (until Ramsay rapes Theon & Jeyne on their wedding night). But in the Turncloak, he goes back to being his usual prickly self; he's picking up on what people aren't saying, he starts with his "jeyne jeyne rhymes with pain" as a substitute for the reek bit, and even when he's doing the reek bit he's not just using random words, he's using insults for himself - meek, weak, freak, etc. By the murder mystery, he's straight up snapping at people, interacting with people, actively lying for no real reason, and he seems to start really resenting the idea that he'll have to go back to being Reek. There's a level of barely concealed rage more an anything but it's not directed at the people around him, it's directed at Ramsay for the first time and it's directed at himself.

anyways, there’s this clear shift as Theon starts breaking out of the brainwashing effect the torture has on him but it's not a shift into being mentally well it's just a shift back into being Theon Greyjoy and that means prickly, and that means weird magic stuff too.

The poetry. of theon’s chapters starting with his thoughts on kyra, mad at her for needing his help, to theon lying to get jeyne out of there, and grabbing her before he jumps, without even a thought in his head about leaving her behind.

Towel Gremlin went from 'I have the Arya Brainrot' last week to 'Okay, but I can kinda see where theyre coming from when they say Murtagh is a horse girl and I think I'm starting to really like him.'

Guys, I NEVER talk about Murtagh at length, except for today.

HOW DOES THIS WET CAT OF A MAN DO IT?!

Oh, she also said that Brom is very much a silver fox and probably got lots of bitches (my translation, not her words, the meaning stays the same) while he was in Carvahall.

Daenerys stormborm, first of her motherfucking name! That’s my baby right there. I love her so so so much. She’s literally the reason I refer to myself as a Targaryen.

I love brienne and podrick! During the fight against brienne and the hound I was so stressed because no matter who won I’d be losing a favorite character either way.

I love all of Jon’s friends. Samwell, Pip, Edd, Grenn☹️☹️

Bro I feel the same way about Jamie, I loved him in the beginning but then both him and his fuck ass brother started to get on my nerves.

Tyrion becoming hand of the queen truly made me hate him when I loved him so much the first few seasons.

SIR DAVOSS! My fucking heart I love him so much.

Sansa… Sansa Sansa Sansa. I’ve always been more team arya but I definitely felt bad for Sansa for having not one but two pieces of shit as her husband. I think I really started to dislike her when her and Jon got back together and she was being kinda shady.

when the whores gave podrick his money back 😭 i was like ykwww!!! he too reallll, and he’s just so adorable looking! & omg the time they did the fight on the wall and so many of the men were dying and i think like two of jon friends died ☹️. TYRION lost me soooo bad when he met D, idk why they did his character like that but i hated it. I think i like Sansa and arya equally bc i always leaned more into the story/plotlines of jon and D so i wasn’t always so interested in them BUT i will say when arya learned all those skills and stuff?? yeah i definitely grew to love her more

Cersei is very confused

After Robert's death (at the hands of Cersei), Jaime is a hostage of the Starks. Ned sends Jon, Sansa, Arya, Jaime and their escort to the North… through Braavos… Dany, who breaks into the tavern where the Starks are staying in Braavos: surprise! *if this were modern times, she would have a machine gun in her hands* Jon: oh dear, have you come to take us prisoner? How kind of you! Wait, I'll tell the girls!
