"What do you mean to do, crow?"

Jon flexed the fingers of his sword hand. The Night's Watch takes no part. He closed his fist and opened it again. What you propose is nothing less than treason. He thought of Robb, with snowflakes melting in his hair. Kill the boy and let the man be born. He thought of Bran, clambering up a tower wall, agile as a monkey. Of Rickon's breathless laughter. Of Sansa, brushing out Lady's coat and singing to herself. You know nothing, Jon Snow. He thought of Arya, her hair as tangled as a bird's nest. I made him a warm cloak from the skins of the six whores who came with him to Winterfell … I want my bride back … I want my bride back … I want my bride back …

"I think we had best change the plan" Jon Snow said.

Dany and her dragons, a little fan art for ASOIAF.

This has been laying on my work table for ages, at some point I did not like at all how it was coming out but now it’s not that bad? Also I’ve re-used the dragon silhouette in another picture, because I was sure I was never going to finish this one. :D

Done with watercolor, gouache and some digital touches.

Arya’s betrothal to Elmar Frey in the books annoys me. I don’t know if GRRM put that in there to showcase Catelyn’s bad negotiating skills, their desperation for that bridge or for Arya’s future interactions with Elmar Frey.

Or if it’s supposed to be some kind of foreshadowing considering all the connections Arya has with bastards -  a romance with Gendry, a betrothal to Elmar and Jon waiting at the wall.

Either way, that betrothal makes no sense to me.

Arya went from this:

“You,” Ned said, kissing her lightly on the brow, “will marry a king and  rule his castle, and your sons will be knights and princes and lords  and, yes, perhaps even a High Septon.” - Ned, AGoT

to being betrothed to a guy who has about a 100 people ahead of him to inherit The Twins and who would have most probably got thrown out after Walder’s death.

Even Tywin Lannister was pissed off at his sister marrying Walder Frey’s second son.

Genna was betrothed to Emmon Frey, Lord Walder’s second son. Their betrothal was announced at a feast, with half the westerlands in attendance. Genna’s eldest brother, Tywin, spoke out against the match. While Lord Tytos went white as mare’s milk, the betrothal remained standing. Although Genna did not approve of all Tywin did, nor enjoyed the company of the man Tywin later became, Genna loved Tywin for having been the only person to speak out against her betrothal.

And Arya was given away to Walder’s 22nd son! And very likely a bastard considering all the rumors about Elmar being Black Walder’s son. 

Plus, Walder Frey had grandsons Arya’s age - Catelyn could have engaged Arya to the grandson set to inherit The Twins instead of Walder’s 22nd son. That way, the North would have a strong alliance with The Twins instead of just the other way around with Robb and Roslin Frey.

And why even offer a daughter when Catelyn already pledged the future Warden of the North/KITN to Walder’s daughter? That’s a big enough prize right there. It’s almost like Arya was thrown in as something extra to sweeten the deal. Sorry, but Cat’s negotiation sucks.

Also, why is there is such a huge gap between Sansa and Arya anyway? At the end of the day both Arya and Sansa are daughters that would tie houses to the North by marriage. They were both not going to inherit anything.

So Sansa can be betrothed to the future king, but Arya is only worth a 22nd son who has no inheritance, nothing? Robb considers a betrothal between Sansa and Loras Tyrell, but Arya gets the 22nd possible bastard non-son of Walder Fucking Frey?  Arya would have had to depend on Robb’s generosity for a good living, getting land in the North.

And I am not giving Robb any credit here either. Tywin Lannister stood up more for his sister than Robb did for Arya. Robb just shrugged it off as ‘lol, Arya is not going to like it, moving on…’.  Even Cersei protested Myrcella’s betrothal more and that was to the prince of Dorne!

Arya deserved better.

Meanwhile, Jon planning on sending off Arya to Braavos to prevent her from being used as a political/marriage pawn for the North is why he continues to be the best relationship Arya has in the books.

war was not a game, where one fought for honour and admiration, where masters would keep her from sustaining any real harm. war was a nightmare.

I love how Ned goes from telling Arya that she reminds him of Lyanna both in personality and looks to Renly opening up a locket, cute and all, being like heyyy doesn't she (Margaery) look like Lyanna and Ned just shoots that down real fast

#something about renly being super eager to compare Margaery to Lyanna and show it to Ned only for him to shoot it down is hilarious #doesn't she-- no. #rambles #asoiaf
