#littlerocker’s reread

[littlerockerao3]

Honestly, during my first read of AGOT, I thought Sansa was in love with Joffrey because she was still naive. Now, during my reread, it feels like she’s forcing herself to love him, she’s forcing herself to think he’s a good person even though she knows he is not: he’s her betrothed, because of an arranged marriage, and she just wants her marriage to be like her parents’, who managed to actually fall in love with each other. Also, I think that she’s so obsessed with still wanting to marry him, even right after her father’s ‘treason’, not because she’s in love, but because that’s what a lady’s supposed to do. Let’s not forget she always has Septa Mordane by her side telling her to shut up, act like a lady should and not to question anything because ‘your father knows best’. That’s what she has always been taught for a lifetime, to act like a highborn lady and do the only thing a highborn lady is supposed to do: marry a highborn lord and have his heirs. And she’s up to do this, she’s up to marry Joffrey and be a lady, but she wishes her wedding could be real. She wants to marry someone she loves but she knows she can’t, so she’s trying to see Joffrey in the brightest way, just to fool herself. She just wants to be the lady everyone expects her to become. Yet, that lady died the moment she got to King’s Landing, symbolically as Lady the direwolf. Sansa’s not a lady, nor she will ever be: Septa Mordane wants her to keep quiet and be polite, yet Sansa is curios, she wants to know things, she wants to know what the hell is going on. She can be snarky, teasing, whether it’s towards Arya or Joffrey or Jeyne everyone else: that’s not a lady’s behavior. Sansa is no lady and Sansa won’t be no lady. She’ll be much, much more.

This opinion is probably a given but... I don’t know, my reread in English is making me appreciate the books a little more and is making me notice things I didn’t realize at first.

There he is!!! And OMG THEY WERE ROMMATES!!!!

[littlerockerao3]

Of course, this is the proof that they hate each other and that they must always be compared to each other and that one is better than the other. Of course. Cause this definitely doesn’t prove they are sisters acting like sisters.🙄

Cat telling Robb he’s too much like his father, dear I hope you know your kids take their anger issues after you😂

“No more than Theon Greyjoy would harm Bran or Rickon?”

Grey Wind leapt up atop King Tristifer’s crypt, his teeth bared.” -> which translates into “do not speak ill of my other dad”.

“It was to be an arrow, at Edmure Tully’s wedding feast. The boy [Robb] was too wary in the field. He kept his men in good order, and surrounded himself with outriders and bodyguards.” -Tywin Lannister, ASOS

Which translates into-> if I played by the rules he would have kicked my ass, as usual.

The cutest scene grrm has written in ASOS

[littlerockerao3]

[...]“A brother of the Night’s Watch. It meant no crown, no sons, no wife . . . but it meant life,”

[Theon, A Clash of Kings]

He... he wants kids🥺🥺

[littlerockerao3]

How others see Ghost: a gigantic white wolf with creepy red eyes who scares the hell out of people, horses and dogs.

How Jon sees Ghost: the puppy he rescued, his best friend, the good boy who always soothes him whenever he has a nightmare, oh and his pillow. Ghost is Jon’s pillow too.

She studied Theon Greyjoy’s sly smile, wondering what it meant. That young man had a way of looking as though he knew some secret jest that only he was privy to;

A Clash of Kings, Catelyn I

No ma’am, he’s just fucking your son.

Melisandre : “When the fires speak more plainly, so shall I. There is truth in the flames, but it is not always easy to see.” The great ruby at her throat drank fire from the glow of the brazier. “Give me the boy, Your Grace. It is the surer way. The better way. Give me the boy and I shall wake the stone dragon.”

Davos’ mind (or my mind):

[littlerockerao3]

Canon Grey Wind: “Grey Wind, her son had named him. A direwolf large as any elkhound, lean and smoke-dark, with eyes like molten gold. When the beast padded forward and sniffed at the captive knight, every man in that hall could smell the scent of fear. Ser Cleos had been taken during the battle in the Whispering Wood, where Grey Wind had ripped out the throats of half a dozen men.”

Headcanon/ModernAu/CanonDivergence Grey Wind: [Grey Wind speaking]: Dad look! I caught the ball you threw me! I want treats!! What did you say? Sit? Yeah sure, I’m sitting. Me is a good boy. Can I have another treat? Can I sleep in your bed again tonight??? When is Theon coming over? When are Uncle Jon and my brother Ghost coming over??? OMG THAT’S A SQUIRREL. You want me to shake your hand? As you please, now can I please have another slice of that? Dad dad dad, can we go outisde? I know it’s raining but mud is cooooooool! No I’m not taking a bath later, no way. Is it dinner time already? Can I have another treat? Where’s my squishy ball? What do you mean I have to move off the couch because Theon needs to sit? That’s betrayal. Oh wait that’s good, Uhm omg you bought me new food, okay I forgive you.

“I’m sending Theon. Good day, Mother. Grey Wind, come.” Robb walked off briskly, the direwolf padding beside him.

Catelyn could only watch him go. Her son and now her king. How queer that felt.

A Clash of Kings, Catelyn I

Cat noticing her son’s queerness after they’d been talking about Theon. She’s slowly starting to connect all the dots.

I love how Jon in the first books is all “I took a vow, I took a vow, I took the vow” like he’s some sort of nun and then this wilding redhead comes up to him and he’s just like “vow? What’s a vow? Never heard that word before, I don’t even know what that means”
