modern asoiaf extracurriculars (but americanized bc ya girl doesn't wanna research british stuff)

arya plays on the girls rubgy team. she started the team herself because she wasn't allowed to play on the middle school football team. meant to parallel ned getting her into waterdancing when traditional westerosi swordfighting wasn't allowed

sansa is a soprano in the school chorus. cersei is her chorus teacher that used to be the school's big soloist when she was a student but now transfer student margaery tyrell is the lead vocalist who came with a letter of rec from principal bobby b

jon is in the school JROTC. signed up because his uncle did it and later joined the military. forced to stay in it after getting caught by the school security guards trying to visit his brother Robb who's the same age but a grade older and already in college. catelyn either got robb to skip a grade or jon held back bc she's that crazy pta mom

robb is a college freshman but still lives at home with cat and ned to save money (the starks are rich but feel like robb needs to be a man and pay his own way or soemthing). met his girlfriend jeyne in their intro the business class and had a brief pregnancy scare leading to an engagement 8 weeks into the semester (#ringbyspring baby)

bran used to think he was gonna grow up and be a pro football player (football is the modern knighthood in my AU apparently) but jamie the football coach/health teacher pushed him off the bleachers and broke his legs (rip)

rickon just got diagnosed with ADHD and claims shaggydog is his emotional support animal so he's the super popular kid in elementary school with a giant wolf dog at recess. all the staff hate him except his teaching aid osha

theon lives in the stark basement and tries to deal shitty weed at the kids' high school after he dropped out of college one semester in (he was a peace war and defense major, and yes before you ask that was a real major at my college)

i know for a fact that after finally reuniting the starklings sleep in bran’s room on a bunch of furs spread around for like a month because they’re freak out about losing each other. They all have insane nightmares and sleeping problems so they keep waking up to stare at each like owls and some how bran is always awake and jon wants to snuggle with ghost but he keeps abandoning him to sleep on bran’s bed or between the girls and when arya is listing her names they keep interrupting to talk about people they killed or saw die or people they want dead and she pretends to be pissed off but she enjoys being with her siblings and feeling understood. Initially she would be like: oh sansa won’t like if i keep talking about people i want to kill before bed every night and sansa is like: hey can you add a few names to your list for me? i have some people i want dead and detailed descriptions of the levels of suffering each of them deserve, do you want a spreadsheet? i can invent fantasy microsoft excel right now

hi!! im sorry if this brings up a sore topic or anything but im getting back into reading pjo fics on ao3 again and a couple years ago you and this other writer (whose name i cant remember anymore) had these two fics with a similarish plotline that i really liked!! yours was the “im a dumbass but im not stupid” and i cant find either of those fics anymore. may i ask what happened to them??

I'm a Dumbass has been deleted due to the extreme amounts of harassment, both on ao3 and several other more private social media, I got from readers.

The other fic you're thinking of is my ex's so I suggest you go ask them, the ATLOP series by @percabeth4life

hc that all the starklings had a musical education befitting a High Lord's kids (flute, lute, other instruments specific to the north like drums etc), except for jon. everyone assumes 'oh it's a bastard thing-' no. ned once saw jon playing a harp 2 months into his musical education with robb and almost vomited blood. he had every harp in winterfell thrown out alà sleeping beauty.

#everyone just assumes ned's anti-harp thing is a rhaegar thing. like that dragon prick who stole lyanna had a harp so fuck all harps #but ned is so paranoid about jon that he thinks jon is gonna pick up a harp one day #play a sad little song. like medival mcr. and everyone in a 100 meter radius is gonna start screaming 'targ!' at jon #someone gives sad looking jon (looking his most rhaegar all sad and dour dressed in black) snow a harp at the kings feast #and ned starts screaming. loudly. #Jon Snow #starklings #Oh #queue?

Rickon: *sends a super low-quality meme to the group chat*

Arya: if i had a dollar for every pixel in this image, i’d have 15 cents

Rickon: if i had a dollar for every ounce of rage i felt in my body after i read this text, i would have enough money to buy a cannon to fire at you

Sansa: Actually I did the math, Arya would have $225, not $0.15

Robb: If I had a dollar I would buy a can of soda :)

Theon: while you’re there could you buy me an apply juice please?

Robb: Sorry I only have a dollar

Theon: :(

Bran: hey I just realized sansa is wrong, arya would have $22'500 because it's a dollar for every pixel, not a cent

Robb: If I had $22'500 I would buy a can of soda and an apply juice

Rickon: you can buy anything you want with $22'500

Arya: yeah and he wants soda and apply juice

Jon: Apply juice to what

Theon: directly to the forehead

Sansa: Great chat everyone

I can't believe Brandon Stark rode up to his enemy's fortress and yelled at him to "come out and die" and that sentence is never spoken about ever??? As if it isn't the coolest most badass thing in the world???? I'm starting a petition to make it a family tradition. I want every single starkling yelling this at the top of their lungs at least once. I'm cheering them on already

#worst case scenario at least they get to scream and if someone's earnt that right it's them tbh #i think about this all the time #imagine tiny arya doing this i would literally lose my shit #brandon stark #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #starklings #house stark #two generations of starklings #Oh #queue?

modern sansa: is into embroidery and knitting, is class valedictorian and gets teased about being a nerd (girl knows her history facts ok) but that’s ok because she’s more concerned about growing the readership on her poetry blog anyway, she has been paying the piano since she was 7 but now it just gathers dust in the family living room, she plays volleyball in school and may have “accidentally” hit Joffrey Baratheon in the face with one. adult sansa works as a writer for a fashion house, hosts a true crime podcast with her friend, Jeyne Poole, but they can’t retain listeners because they go into gratuitous detail about the gore, and hides her mills & boon behind her stack of fashion magazines. Has better relationship with Arya now

modern arya: 100% went through an emo phase because Jon went through an emo phase. Likes to hang out with Hot Pie and Gendry rather than the prissy idiots who go to her private school, she plays the electric guitar and that irritates the living hell out of her sister, she is on the football team and has ended multiple careers right on that field and we support that for her, is a tomboy through and through and an unflinching feminist (fuck you game of thrones) adult arya is a war-time reporter

Jon- needless to say, went through an emo phase. Is an accountant now for an oil oligarch whom he hates with all his might. Went to the same private school as the starks. Was captain of the football team (worst years of his life) but was voted out and hasn’t recovered since. Haggles at the farmer’s market and has a hard time not pissing off Gilly. Developed a pretty solid relationship with sansa as they grew up, to everyone’s surprise

Rickon- likes to bite people

one egregious thing the game of thrones show misses out on is that the stark kids are CONSTANTLY thinking abt each other!! there isn’t like a single POV chapter from any of them where they don’t long for their siblings!! Jon wants to have a son and name him Robb!! Bran wants to be a bird so him and his siblings can live in a nest together!! Sansa prays for her siblings every night and makes the Winterfell castle and then gets upset bc there’s no one to throw snow at!! Needle IS Jon!! Arya’s list is her own prayer for her siblings, she doesn’t care that Joffrey is dead bc Robb is too!! Every single one of them believes that their big brother will come to save them!! there’s sm love and tenderness there and GOT missed out on lots of it bc it tries too hard for the grimdark angle without realising that the center of the stark’s story is their love for each other. anyways.

i’m not trying to bully anyone but i need everyone to REREAD THE BOOKS bc the vale cousins are BROUGHT UP BY CATELYN first of all and second of all VERY INFAMOUSLY,,,, NED’S SIBLINGS ALL GOT FUCKED IN A WAR OF COURSE THERE ARENT ANY STARK COUSINS like i say this as someone who has a whole graphic and meta planned out about how it’s so weird there isn’t a recent cadet stark house, but ned very much has first and second cousins, they are just female line, so he’s not close to them. it’s ✨the patriarchy✨that makes it so jocelyn and branda’s children are not considered ~part of the stark family~ anymore thus making it harder for Ned to rebuild the family,,, like yes some of this is George just not wanting to juggle even MORE characters but to lob this criticism at THIS SERIES SPECIFICALLY and then to defend it with “well that’s how the writer wanted it” as if there’s not in universe reasons explaining all this!!!!!

IM BEGGING EVERYONE TO REREAD THE TEXT

#sansa has a whole meltdown over ‘they will make a lion out of me’ and we are ignoring ned’s female line cousins who aren’t considered his #fam bc a woman’s entire identity is eclipsed by her husband’s so jocelyn and branda’s children do not get to be starks #even though they grew up in the north surrounded by starks!! #NO MORE TWITTER FOR ME TODAY #DID U KNO I GOT A QUORA EMAIL SAYING THE MOST LIKELY THEORY IS R+L=D 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #getting on my soap box #Oh #queue?

[izzymrdb]

Another thing that I HATE in this fandom is when people criticize Ned so heavily for warning Cersei. "He was so stupid, he didn't know how to play the game."

By telling Cersei that he knows the truth he wasn't trying to gain anything. He knew that it wasn't a strategic move or anything like that. What he also knew is what would likely happen to the Lannister children once Robert found out. They were innocent children. He wasn't being stupid he was being HUMAN. Was it the most wise decision made in the series? No, but can we really criticize him so heavily for wanting to protect children from dying?

One of my favorite things about the Starks is their commitment to the bit. It doesn’t matter what’s at stake, they are always willing to risk it all for a good comeback

still love the idea of post-resurrection white-haired jon. ned stark may have taken that secret to the grave, but jon comes back from his with the least subtle foreshadowing dye job in the history of the seven kingdoms. forget turning, ned is cartwheeling in those crypts.

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”

imagine being nineteen and being married to a complete stranger.you meet him for the second time and he welcomes you to his home by informing you very solemnly that "the north is hard and cold and has no mercy".that is his idea of an appropriate greeting.ik catelyn thought this man was deranged for at least a solid month

ned having nightmares about lyanna dying in a bed of her own blood and the first thing that happens when he wakes up is jon fucking snow screaming about “I AM THE YOUNG DRAGON” omg i know ned’s tummy hurt

so lyanna brings home from college this platinum blonde twink who got her name tattooed on his arm after the second date but they’re polite about it (not brandon!) like ned thinks maybe it’s just his older brother bias and is trying to see him from lya’s perspective “hmm this guys handsome i guess, he’s older, he’s rich, passionate. sure we’ll give it a go i mean she’s young they’ll break up soon right? right lyanna? RIGHT??” brandon’s disgusted. rhaegar actually went to an adjacent high school that always beat his school’s football team and brandon always thought his instagram poetry was ass. benjen, lyanna’s little pet dog basically, thinks rhaegar’s great and “you guys if you’re gonna date lyanna you should love her enough to get her named tattooed on you” until she brings benjen to one of rhaegar’s open mics and he has to sit there while they make out and listen to 3 songs about sex with his sister. she’s pregnant 3 weeks later btw

#brandon and rhaegar are not allowed to sit next to each other at thanksgiving #ned starts every conversation with ‘how’s jon?’ but come on now… ned knows how jon is. he knows better than rhaegar #lyarra’s all hippie dippie and thinks lyanna knows what she’s doing rickard’s a military man who’s gonna hate whoever lyanna brings home #benjen does NOT babysit. he’s bad at it. #asoiaf crack #valyrianscrolls #rhaegar targaryen #lyanna stark #rhaegar x lyanna #asoiaf #jon snow #ned stark #brandon stark #benjen stark #modern asoiaf #nothing more humiliating than tagging posts #it’s really just begging people to laugh at your jokes #Oh #queue?
