#cersei frey

[a-chaotic-dumbass]

i think its so funny that cersei thinks of catelyn as a meek little mouse in her povs when its like. that woman bashed a man's head in with a rock. she grabbed a valyrian steel blade without hesitation. she traveled across westeros to form an alliance with renly only to steal one of his kingsguard too. she set jaime free from the dungeons and got him to swear to get her daughters back. even in her last chapter she shanked a mf with a knife before going insane. catelyn stark was more of a lioness than cersei im sorry to say

This is a very very unfinished thought but I've been thinking a lot as I reread the books about how the women of House of the Dragon don't really get catharsis and how that'll likely be worse in S2. Say what you want about asoiaf but a number of named women there experience catharsis.

They kill their abusers (Lysa, Cersei, Dany). They regain some agency after a violation (Lysa, Cersei, Lady Stoneheart, Dany), and they refuse to forgive the people complicit in their subjugation (Lysa, Cersei, Dany, Lady Stoneheart, Jeyne Westerling).

Obviously, three or four isn't enough in such an expansive cast of characters but the point remains that they claw back their autonomy however they have to. They're allowed to be angry, bitter, unforgiving and cruel to their abusers in a way women in House of the Dragon just aren't allowed. They're allowed grief, grief that is violent and destructive.

The women of House of the Dragon don't get angry. They stand around and stare plaintively at the camera, they cry prettily, and they plead for peace and non-violence. They suffer and suffer and suffer and there's no relief.

GRRM's original outline

Other what if scenarios that I ran out of space for. Add your own if it didn't make the cut

What if Lyanna lived and became Robert's Queen?

What if Myrcella was born first and was betrothed to Robb

What if Robb and Margaery are betrothed?

What if Rhaella survived childbirth with Daenerys?

What if Joanna Lannister didn't die in childbirth?

What if Arthur took Lyanna/Jon to Dragonstone and fled with Rhaella, Viserys and Dany and regrouped with Jon Connington?

Jamie took the throne for himself after killing Aerys?

What if Elia and her children escaped to Dorne?

What if Balon died instead of his sons?

What if Jon Arryn had a son and was raised with Ned and Robert?

What if Theon did what Asha recommended and kidnapped Bran and RIckon and burned Winterfell to the ground and this leads to Theon becoming the Iron Prince and a strong contender for the Kingsmoot.

What if Rhaegar and Robert died in the Trident and Ned became King?

What if Viserys met and married Arianne Martell?

What if Domeric Bolton lived and never met Ramsay?

What if Rhaenyra won The Dance Of The Dragons

What if Arya revealed herself to Roose Bolton

What if Rhaegar married Cersei instead of Elia?

What if Ned and his brothers talked sense into Robert and he swore off his ways to be good for Lyanna and Lyanna fought in the rebellion because Aerys kills her father and brother(because Southern Ambitions)

Lady Arya Frey Née Stark

Youngest sister of King Robb Stark, the first of his name, King in the North and King of the Trident and the Vale. She was believed to be have been killed in the failed coup of her father Lord Eddard Stark but survived and was later ransomed back to her brother and mother by Sandor Clegane.

In 305 AC she was married to Ser Elmer Frey, the youngest son of Lord Walder Frey, Lord of the Twins. She tried to fight against the match but due to the delicate political situation at the time, her hand was forced. It is rumoured that while initially her new husband was happy to be betrothed and wed to the princess it is said that he soon grew tired of and angry of her wild nature and turned his attention to wine and serving girls…

one thing that’s definitely stood out on reread is just how much lsh and the brotherhood are involved in the plot and how much the show lost by cutting 80% of the brotherhood characters and stoneheart. it’s all minor things - the rosby freys & alesander frey being “good guys”, arya’s entire relationship with edric dayne & harwin, the split in the bwb after lsh rises - but it really colors the background of the story, creeping in and spreading out through the narrative to build to whatever conclusion we’ll get with LSH.

it’s so nerve wracking too! it really helps set the tenor of the next two books as you understand the brotherhood is not going away and neither is stoneheart, that this war is not over in the minds of many of the people no matter what the lannisters may say.

Take heed, you bear in mind the piety you owe unto your country and unto your countrymen, whose slaughter by the treachery of thy blood oath be your disgrace everlasting. Unless you press hardily forward to defend them.

Prince of black and prince of green met across the skies, but only death can pay for life.

Lions and Wolves were dancing a dance he had known before, in glory and clay and steel crowned. The Young Wolf, they said, has fished from the waters a dragonprince of old.

Of the daughter of Winterfell they said she had killed him with a spell, changed into a wolf, grew batlike wings and flew away.

”The Iron throne shall be mine,“ claimed the dragonprince ”and House Stark shall stand behind me and mine“

”My hand for the North,“ said the brave princess and the dragonprince took her hand for his.

At last, she that is oppressed shall prevail, and resist the cruelty of them that came from without. The islands of the ocean shall be subdued onto his power, and the forest of goal shall he possess. The house of the lion shall dread the fierceness of his prowess, and doubtful shall be their end.

— from History of the Kings of the Iron throne by Archimaester Arkibald.

My submissions are now open if there are any ideas or theories you'd want to discuss or talk about. I realise I'm pretty Nettles focused, but I adore all the women mostly of the dance and game of thrones as well.
