On the Robb Stark haunting the narrative thread I would argue he kinda “haunts the narrative” while being alive. I know this sounds insane but we never actually get his pov his story is told through the people around him and his siblings even when they are separated. They constantly think about him/ look up to him and call him “brave” and aspiring to be like him.

i know its pointless to debate meaningless tumblr litcrit terms but "haunting the narrative" as a concept gets thrown around all too much for my liking. you can't use haunting the narrative to describe absolutely any character who was grieved over (especially if the character functionally exists within the narrative to die i.e. the dozens of dead dance era targs)

i think to truly haunt the narrative the central thread of the story needs to be a clash of interpretations over what the characters intentions or feelings were (or at least a clash of perceptions). the first one i can think of is Suddenly, Last Summer by Tennesee Williams

in this story, cathy is a young woman who witnessed the death of her cousin sebastian last summer, and she wars with sebastian's mother violet over what exactly happened, who sebastian was, if cathy is or isnt mad. it's revealed that sebastian was queer and also kinda a predatorand also catherine was super into him, and obviously violet doesn't want this getting out. cathy and violet both mourn the versions of sebastian they each have in their heads: as a mommas boy or a sexy older cousin, while they both aim to stamp out the secret they both hold about him. but sebastian is slowly revealed to the audience in a careful peeling back of his character, in a way that his ghost physically occupies so much of the page

the other example is the titular rebecca from rebecca by daphne du maurier, who's character the audience and narrator have to uncover entirely posthumously through mr de winters or mrs danvers or whoever else. the narrator is literally haunted by rebecca, but the narrative form is too - it is deciding what her intentions are, and how this untimely death with resolve itself in the characters

its why i balk at the idea of robb stark "haunting the narrative" (no hate to robb we love robb here). first of all hes alive for 2.5 books but second we don't really uncover more about him after his death. his siblings mourn him but theres hardly a question of what his legacy/intentions/or character were like before his death that is reshaped afterwards

me clicking on a video from the silliest man in the world: teehee what wacky hijinks await me

world renown block clown mumbo Fucking jumbo: you ever think about how old technology seems to live forever in the suspended state of whatever the newest advancements were at the time. how most technology immediately and fundamentally tells you when it was important and when it was left in the dust. it’s suspended in its era forever, and in that it is perfect.

stagnation is a form of death but nostalgia is cruel immortality. still i find myself locked in pursuit of it until i finally stumble across the undeath of the mechanical. as my hard earned improvement truly begins to pay dividends, surrounded by my opus of change, i will freeze myself in eternal utopia. the only way to never die is to preemptively kill whoever you might become. i will not have a grave, i will not be ashes and dust. i will be a perfect, extant machine.

me: Ok. i dont think this will plague me at all actually. like video.

Jazz can admit she's not much of an advent literature reader.

In genuine honesty, she's not much of a reader reader either but she does try to consume some kinda book every once in a while.

Books, that weren't badly written sci-fi plots or some sort of paranormal mystery (Danny recs), weren't usually her cup of tea. And hey she has to read other things beyond her Psychology textbooks, ok? Don't judge her choices.

So yes, Jazz can admit that she sucks at just sitting down and physically reading a book and it isn't until Danny suggests audiobooks that she actually starts to enjoy books.

Jazz skimmed at first through her usual books that she had started and never finished before eventually crossing this threshold into the literature books, that usually bored the hell out of her, on accident.

From there on she is a pretty hooked onto the genre in general and it's only because of the voice actor they have reading over 75% of the genre. The genuine passion and excitement in the mans voice had her hooked onto every story he was telling.

It was like an unbreakable spell had been cast over her and suddenly she just enjoyed books (and if it was because she was slightly crushing on a faceless guys voice? Who cares! What are you, the GIW?).

Point is, Jazz gets hooked on this dudes voice and the books he reads. And when she runs out of them she immediately starts searching for the dude to see if he's VA'd in anything else, only to stumble on the guys tiktok and podcast where he gives out recommendations.

What sells her to subscribe to Jason Todd was his rants on badly written books and the hours long book reading he did each week just for fun on his podcast.

And honestly, if Jazz hadn't been crushing on the guy already, she was sure she wouldve been after looking him up. She becomes a genuine casual fan after that moment, tunning in but not fully all in, to whatever he posts.

She almost spits her tea out when she sees him in broad daylight on the Gotham streets a week later, walking into her favorite book cafe that she did her studying at.
