That's right, we really bumped Myra to an official character with her own story (intro to follow) so she can birth a love interest for my dearest Cat 🖤

Catelyn heard someone snigger behind her. She loves him, poor thing, she thought sadly. She'd play his squire just to touch him, and never care how great a fool they think her... (and some other things)

Oooooooooh that was fun! Thank you so much for tagging me ❤️

Here we have my girl Elyana Dondarrion.

First during her time serving as a lady in waiting first to Princess Rhaenyra, then Queen Alicent at court in King's Landing.

And then after her forced marriage to Borros Baratheon, as a sad and hardened Lady of Storm's End.

I wanted to add a final version of her, alas nothing really said "finally happy and loved up in Dorne", soooOooo xD

Then here we have her first born daughter, Alyse Baratheon, the reluctant wife of Aemond Targaryen who famously Entertainer an affair with a Gold Cloak as her husband was away laying waste to the Riverlands.

And last but certainty not least, here is Catelyn Baratheon, the wild beauty who followed her love over her family's oaths, claimed a dragon and won the heart of the young King in the North, when all of Westeros saw her as nothing but a dead dragon prince's whore.

if ned stark was not a medieval fantasy lord he would have made a great long-suffering straight-man sitcom character. because ‘homoerotic situationship with your best friend who is in love with your sister but also you’re married to your brother’s ex-fiancée and raising your sister’s kid that she had with your situationship’s enemy’ is an absolutely fantastic premise for wacky shenanigans

au in which robert, the starks and the lannisters play monopoly instead of going hunting and pushing each other‘s kids from towers.

tyrion implements a tax system to make things more interesting and fights cersei over the cat for a solid ten minutes.

around thirty minutes into the game, catelyn realizes that she has free will and stops paying taxes.

arya and sansa haggle over new york avenue, which ends up being bought by theon. this causes the two to completely cast aside their differences, ally and subsequently start doing everything in their power to make theon‘s life hell.

theon himself is quite severely stoned the entire time throughout.

ned enters horrendous debt pretty much immediately and, after two hours of being financially sucked dry by both cersei and his tax evader of a wife, decides to just place his figurine in jail and never leave.

jon, playing the dog, controls the railroads and makes jaime, playing the ship, go completely broke within minutes. being beaten by a bastard and officially the first to lose the game makes jaime so mad he spends the rest of the evening perched on the family‘s ancestral armchair eating flaming hot cheetos and stifling sobs.

cersei is holding onto her last two dollars and her one house in atlantic avenue like a maniac and evades taxes like it‘s an olympic sport. she claims ownership of kentucky avenue on the grounds that red is her house‘s color at least twice. after three hours, she‘s consumed enough vintage red to kill a large mammal and keeps quoting the art of war. fascinatingly enough, she never goes completely broke.

robert, just as broke and drunk as his wife but not nearly as ferocious, proposes marriage for tax advantages to bran, who is in possession of the boardwalk and lets him dangle on his proposition for two rounds before accepting and feeling like a benevolent god.

sansa sees this and immediately proposes to arya, who accepts, only for them to be sued by their mother for public indecency („you‘re siblings, jesus christ!“). arya argues that this is just a game and that one could argue that robert‘s and bran‘s marital alliance is just as if not even more inappropriate, considering that bran is seven and robert thirtyseven. sansa countersues her mother for tax evasion, who promises she‘ll drop her lawsuit if her daughters let her keep hoarding perverse amounts of wealth. „love wins!“ arya says, which causes jaime, still perched on the armchair but now eating old nan‘s home made whiskey truffles, to hysterically sob. cersei stares him down.

robb, in a rare moment of almost prophetic foresight, excuses himself one hour in and goes on a very, VERY long walk with grey wind.

tyrion, whose tax system has spectacularly backfired in his face, proposes marriage to catelyn, jon and cersei in rapid succession, who all turn him down. „i wish i was the monster you think i am. i wish i had enough poison for the whole pack of you. i would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it.“ he screams before he leaves the table.

at that, joffrey, who has refused to participate and instead sits on the couch playing doom on his nintendo ds, starts hysterically laughing. tyrion turns on his heel and awards his nephew with the bitchslap of the century. this causes cersei to completely abandon the game and chase after him with a broom. catelyn makes sure that everyone is distracted by the lannister antics and then reaches across the table and bags cersei‘s money and properties.

with a heavy heart, myrcella trades arya and sansa one of her limited edition bayala schleich unicorns for park place.

at this point, the game is between the tycoons that are catelyn and jon, the bran-robert alliance, the arya-sansa-alliance, and ned, who is still in jail and watching ice hockey on his phone under the table. that is when catelyn hears rickon gagging and discovers that he, in the absence of tyrion, the self declared bank manager, has managed to eat all bank notes from the box.

rickon gets his stomach pumped, cersei and tyrion have both been arrested, theon is still stoned, arya, sansa and myrcella have wandered off to go play schleich horses, and jon remains at the table, alone, content, and quietly considering himself the winner.

"he was never unfaithful to robert, was he?" - jaime, acok

ha. ha ha ha. the irony of this line is incredible. what's so striking to me is how one dimensional the realm's understanding of eddard stark as an honourable man is - honour itself is an incredibly complicated and unattainable ideal in asoiaf and i think ned as the stereotypical emblem of it encompasses many of the reasons why. because whilst he absolutely does consider acting in a conventionally honourable way important, he always prioritises those he loves. he defended cat's actions as his own without a second thought when she arrested tyrion. his main priority in king's landing is to see his daughters safe, not to secure the succession. lyanna is the prime example: jon's existence is not the result of the lapse of honourable ned stark, it was honourable ned stark choosing his love for his sister over his duty to his king. that and his personal ethical belief that the political murder of a child is never morally acceptable.

no one in the realm has the insight into his personality we get in the first book. none of his children, vitally, understand that he would always prioritise their safety over any honourable scruples. all of the starklings question what their honourable father would think of their actions - killing in self-defence, marrying jeyne westerling, sleeping with ygritte to name a few examples - without recognising that ned's true first priority was always his family's safety.

in fact, he betrayed robert far more than he ever betrayed cat and he would have betrayed honour for his family's safety every time.

I love this things @melrosing

[ladystoneboobs]

"balder than she remembered" is a great catelyn pov quote on its own but also could be proof that stannis started going bald pretty young. i mean he's only 35 max here and it must have been some years since cat could have seen him previously--already somewhat balding--bc it's not like he was ever known to visit the north before asos/adwd. so fitting that stannis is not only the only known bald baratheon, he's also the type of guy to start losing his hair in his late teens/early 20s at most. maybe that one officialish art of him looking older than 19 during the siege of storm's end isn't that off. art true to the spirit of the text should have young adult stannis with a noticeable receding hairline at least.

So, I today I realised that while all my HotD girls fall into the more or less same "cheesy romance" niche, they all cover different aspects of it -

Elyana's story-

is about holding on to love for basically all your life, for decades and against all odds and even your better judgement.

Alyse's story -

is about how sometimes more than one person takes root in your heart and how even though the kind of loves you have for them are very different, there is no cutting either of them from your life without losing a part of you.

Catelyn's story -

is about accepting love back into your life, after you lost The One. Even when you believe that you don't deserve it.

Myranda's story -

is about how sometimes love - consuming, passionate, real - can find you even when you're not looking for it. Or in her case, actively trying to hide from it ^^

Mother's Grief

Mothers of ASOIAF witnessing the death of their children/realizing their children are dead

Fury/ Protection/Embrace

[amber-laughs]

honestly the rebellion did nothing but tear siblings apart. lyanna and ned on opposite sides of the war leading to a rift between ned and benjen, ashara and arthur losing each other, lysa slipping deeper into her resentment of catelyn, the final nail in the coffin for stannis and robert, hoster and the blackfish parting, cersei and jaime delving deeper into their sick ways, oberyn fleeing westeros forcing him and doran to grieve their sister on their own never healing
