never forget what they (that show, hbo, the usual dumbasses we all know, that lady who was the one in charge of casting, who i can't remember her name right now) took away from us:

gendry actually being a child, first and foremost.

how arya is the social extroverted one and gendry is the asocial introverted one.

gendry canonically being the one with a crush on arya.

gendry's adorable and childish flirtation skills: e.g. "a nice oak tree" and "those soft little things" (when talking about arya's own hands)

gendry canonically being the one that gets irrationally jealous when arya talks with other boys.

gendry canonically being the one that wants to make arya feel jealous.

gendry being awkward and very reserved about sex (because the boy is a virgin, alright)

the fact that arya and her friendship really meant something to book!gendry. (can we even think for a milisecond that probably arya was the first person to actually show gendry that she truthfully cared for him and his well-being?)

how they were and still are separated, but gendry hasn't forgotten about her even for a second. he is still mourning her, because! she! is! important! to! him!

another thing that really hurts me too: how they completely erased the fact that arya and gendry are still in parallel journeys with both being child soldiers that choose/were groomed to join a cult (the bwb later on became a little more cultish with lady stoneheart in charge) and how said cult or cultish organization is obsessed with death. also, can i bring attention to the fact that affc!gendry is fucking dark? there's always people claiming that book!arya has gotten too dark for book!gendry, the same boy (just let me remind people) that is currently an outlaw knight and is part of a group committing war crimes in the riverlands trying to avenge the killing of the stark faction at the red wedding. book!gendry could never be soft boi show!gendry, even if he tried.

and how arya and gendry probably still would understand what the other went through in their time apart better than anyone else.

honestly there's not a "darker arya" without a "darker gendry" to accompany her when they reunite, now that i think about it.

modern robb stark’s the type of guy to use the little blushing smiling emoji with the little jazz hands after everything he texts (🤗) and the people he texts (mostly his family and theon) think this is endearing the majority of the time except for when he goes into responsible eldest daughter syndrome cat stark mode and texts the starklings groupchat something like “bran you forgot to do the dishes 🤗” or “theon’s using my car this weekend and rickon needs to get to his under 8s football match so you’re driving him sansa 🤗” and then he becomes public enemy number one so much so that the first time gendry sends that emoji over like imessage to arya she just straight up blocks him

Contrasts of GENDRYA ;

“The Baratheon look was stamped on his face, in his jaw, his eyes, that black hair. Gendry had to be Robert's.”

“Arya had her father’s eyes, the grey eyes of the Starks.”

robert baratheons bastards should unionise

[silverflameataraxia]

Sansa and Jeyne are the only people to call Arya ugly.

Meanwhile Ned, Jon, Gendry, Lady Smallwood, and the kindly man have all commented on her beauty, but this fandom ignores it in favor of two middle-school-aged mean girls who have to put Arya down to feel good about themselves.

My favourite kind of Gendrya fic is either a reunion or post-reunion fic or a relationship reveal fic of any kind where Gendry and Arya obviously seem to know each other and Jon is just stood there watching them like:

[mattyalwayssmokesweed]

I know Ned was stressed as hell seeing his daughter, who resembles Lyanna physically and in attitude, become friends with Robert’s bastard son and Edric Dayne aka mister pale blonde hair and purple eyes. Like that man was about to die again from a heart attack, hands shaking as he pulled at his hair, thinking to himself “no, gods, no. Not this again. No one give my girl a flower please”

¨Lightning above and mud below...Renly stood behind the girl, pushing his black hair out of his

eyes. Not Renly. Gendry.¨

"Sansa's work is as pretty as she is," Septa Mordane told their lady mother once. "She has such fine, delicate hands." When Lady Catelyn had asked about Arya, the septa had sniffed. "Arya has the hands of a blacksmith."

want to know something, septa mordane? an actual armorer's apprentice doesn't share your stupid opinion. and sure, he's a child and you're a corpse, but i'm pretty sure that gendry is absolutely correct here.

Lady Catelyn always wanted her to be like Sansa, to sing and dance and sew and mind her courtesies. Just thinking of it made Arya try to comb her hair with her fingers, but it was all tangles and mats, and all she did was tear some out. "I ruined that gown that Lady Smallwood gave me, and I don't sew so good." She chewed her lip. "I don't sew very well, I mean. Septa Mordane used to say I had a blacksmith's hands." Gendry hooted. "Those soft little things?" he called out. "You couldn't even hold a hammer."

(i mean, arya is stubborn enough to actually go and try to hold a hammer on her own, if she wanted to, but this was just an old woman being cruel to a child)

rest in piss septa mordane, you won't be missed (at least in this blog)
