George did not write Arya naming babies in Winterfell and taking care of a child in the middle of a WARZONE just for y'all to say she's not going to end up with kids/family because she's "not that type of character" 😒

She will always be Arya of Winterfell.

Can you hear me cry??? I was inspired so I did this... I honestly can't wait for Arya to be home again and claim her identity... she has gone through so so much...

She adapts and changes shape like water but she will never forget...

( in the distance you can hear me jumping off a bridge thinking about how in the show she ended up leaving her home and family...)

I just realized I created this tumblr when I was 14.

I'm 20 now. This made me feel so fucking old

#am I a dino on this fandom already? #juli rumbles #but actually thinking about it #since I was fourteen the arya fandom faces the same damm problems we faced years ago

The 'sansa didn't bully arya" posts are so insane. Like did these sansa stans even read the books? Sansa did bully arya and its a huge part of her characterisation. Sansa and jeyne made fun of aryas appearance and behavior so much that it crushed aryas self esteem. With no fault of arya. Arya still has self esteem issues because of it. In kings landing also sansa bullied her when arya was trying to be kind even threw arya under the bus multiple times which would have gone very wrong for arya if ned and nymeriya were not there to protect her. and wished death upon her too. How could anyone think this is "normal sibling behavior'? Its most definitely not. Its bullying and its serious. Arya still feels the effects of it.The author himself said arya and sansa have deep issues. Its most definitely not normal. Anyone trying to deny this is insane or never read the books.

Why is it a taboo to say that two sibling characters have no more love between them than is socially expected for a family member to have for another, and sometimes not even that? What is it about this statement that it immediately becomes synonymous to calling preteen characters evil? Why is it taboo to say that it makes more sense for the elder sibling who has been a bully to initiate the rebuilding of the relationship and that it won't be easy ( in our understanding). That it might further complicate matters when the other sibling finds out that her sister told everything about the plans to escape to the Lannister queen ( whatever might have been the reasoning). What anxiety is there for people to dismiss all of this, in favour of stark sisters singing kumbaya.

like mother:

He was at the door when she called out to him. 'Jon,' she said. He should have kept going, but she had never called him by his name before. He turned to find her looking at his face, as if she were seeing him for the first time. 'Yes?' he said. 'It should have been you,' she told him.

like daughter:

It was running down her nose and stinging her eyes. Sansa wiped it away with a napkin. When she saw what the fruit in her lap had done to her beautiful ivory silk dress, she shrieked again. "You're horrible," she screamed at her sister. "They should have killed you instead of Lady!"

“Sansa’s teasing of Arya is not bullying because she was hit with an orange one time, so it’s totally mutual.”

So, Arya reacting when Sansa dismisses the deaths of men they had know all their lives and the boy she’d made friends with, on top of her lording the fact Arya won’t be able to call her a liar when she’s Queen means that it was mutual…

I honestly can’t take this interpretation of it seriously at all when it’s so clear in the story that Sansa is the antagonist in the situation and thinks she is righteous in doing so while Arya mostly takes it or runs away from the situation (the only time she ever ‘teases’ Sansa was when she ate a worm when she was little lol). Not to mention, Arya tries to reach out to Sansa multiple times in the first book but gets rejected both times and doesn’t name call back apart from when she starved in the woods for 3 days only for her sister to lie about what she clearly witnessed.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to accept that Sansa was the bad guy in their relationship even if Septa Mordane is at the crux of this behavior given her encouragement. They will likely grow into a somewhat cordial relationship but at this point in the story it doesn’t seem likely as Sansa hasn’t changed all that much in regard to her views apart from flip flopping on being cynical

lyanna gets written off as a more “feminine” version of arya when lyanna is genuinely MORE associated with “masculine” pursuits than arya lol lyanna seems to have had some skill with a sword and she was trained in jousting too. arya has neither. lyanna dressed in armor and rode in a tourney as a knight for all the realm to see to make a point. arya was forced to pretend to be a boy for survival.

everything we know suggests lyanna was quite an aggressive and defiant character. in some examples, explicitly more so than even arya (ie: bran’s weirwood vision where she beat benjen’s ass). not a damn thing implies she was secretly ladylike and everyones just ignoring it

Why there are so many modern au that portray Arya as a feral kid who acts violent towards other children and she doesn't know how to socialize with them?

"Arya would make friends with anybody" --> that's a canon quote about her.

And a better adaptation where she is not just an "a cold blood assassin" with anger issues and a poker face 90% of the time.

Arya Stark deserves an adaptation with better costumes.

It's 2024 and still no news about Winds.

i don't ship jonrya (gendrya it's the one for me tbh) but i swear it bothers me so much that people in this fandom like to discard jonrya like something absurd, that really has no foundation in the books (i can only think of one jon's ships that is like this and it's not jonrya let me tell you) when we have time and time again in both of arya and jon's chapters actually shown how they are so devoted to eachother, making one of the strongest bonds in the entire series, even if you don't take the og outline (jonrya endgame) in consideration:

in agot:

"And Arya…he missed her even more than Robb, skinny little thing that she was, all scraped knees and tangled hair and torn clothes, so fierce and willful. Arya never seemed to fit, no more than he had…yet she could always make Jon smile. He would give anything to be with her now, to muss up her hair once more and watch her make a face, to hear her finish a sentence with him."

and:

"She would have given anything if Jon had been here to call her “little sister” and muss her hair."

in acok:

"When at last she slept, she dreamed of home. The kingsroad wound its way past Winterfell on its way to the Wall, and Yoren had promised he’d leave her there with no one any wiser about who she’d been. She yearned to see her mother again, and Robb and Bran and Rickon . . . but it was Jon Snow she thought of most. She wished somehow they could come to the Wall before Winterfell, so Jon might muss up her hair and call her “little sister.” She’d tell him, “I missed you,” and he’d say it too at the very same moment, the way they always used to say things together. She would have liked that. She would have liked that better than anything."

and:

"As he rode, Jon peeled off his glove to air his burned fingers. Ugly things. He remembered suddenly how he used to muss Arya’s hair. His little stick of a sister. He wondered how she was faring. It made him a little sad to think that he might never muss her hair again. He began to flex his hand, opening and closing the fingers. If he let his sword hand stiffen and grow clumsy, it well might be the end of him, he knew. A man needed his sword beyond the Wall."

their current companions remind them of eachother:

“NO!” Arya and Gendry both said, at the exact same instant. Hot Pie quailed a little. Arya gave Gendry a sideways look. He said it with me, like Jon used to do, back in Winterfell. She missed Jon Snow the most of all her brothers.

and romantic interests too:

Ygritte trotted beside Jon as he slowed his garron to a walk. She claimed to be three years older than him, though she stood half a foot shorter; however old she might be, the girl was a tough little thing. Stonesnake had called her a “spearwife” when they’d captured her in the Skirling Pass. She wasn’t wed and her weapon of choice was a short curved bow of horn and weirwood, but “spearwife” fit her all the same. She reminded him a little of his sister Arya, though Arya was younger and probably skinnier. It was hard to tell how plump or thin Ygritte might be, with all the furs and skins she wore.

and i want to end with one of my favourite arya's quotes:

“I know where we could go,” Arya said. She still had one brother left. Jon will want me, even if no one else does. He’ll call me “little sister” and muss my hair. It was a long way, though, and she didn’t think she could get there by herself. She hadn’t even been able to reach Riverrun. “We could go to the Wall.”

so... no, the idea of jon x arya is not strange at all actually

In the godswood she found her broomstick sword where she had left it, and carried it to the heart tree. There she knelt. Red leaves rustled. Red eyes peered inside her. The eyes of the gods. "Tell me what to do, you gods," she prayed. For a long moment there was no sound but the wind and the water and the creak of leaf and limb. And then, far far off, beyond the godswood and the haunted towers and the immense stone walls of Harrenhal, from somewhere out in the world, came the long lonely howl of a wolf. Gooseprickles rose on Arya's skin, and for an instant she felt dizzy. Then, so faintly, it seemed as if she heard her father's voice. "When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives," he said. "But there is no pack," she whispered to the weirwood. Bran and Rickon were dead, the Lannisters had Sansa, Jon had gone to the Wall. "I'm not even me now, I'm Nan." "You are Arya of Winterfell, daughter of the north. You told me you could be strong. You have the wolf blood in you." "The wolf blood." Arya remembered now. "I'll be as strong as Robb. I said I would." She took a deep breath, then lifted the broomstick in both hands and brought it down across her knee. It broke with a loud crack, and she threw the pieces aside. I am a direwolf, and done with wooden teeth. - Arya X, ACoK

Arya is so rarely associated with faith and prayer in this fandom, yet when she prays to the Old Gods for guidance, they respond and restrengthen her sense of self. Arya of Winterfell! Daughter of the North! She is a direwolf and done with wooden teeth! ✨🤍🩶🐺✨
