#The Rains of Castamere

[bottlesandbarricades]

I like when people mention “The Rains of Castamere” in their hotd fanfics cause I like to think the very alive Reynes of Castamere are sat in the corner of the feast going

Ya know, I have to say, the bard who wrote The Rains of Castamere wrote a bop. Just a whole jam. I refuse to give Tywin Lannister even an ounce of credit of how clever the words and metaphors and shit were

Why do you think the Westerlands Houses answered Tywin’s summons to crush the Reynes and Tarbecks? He wasn’t the Lord of Casterly Rock or acting lord like Robb they had no obligation to answer his call to arms. Hell if anything Tywin was launching a silent coup against his father when he decided to wage war against the Reynes and Tarbecks.

There's two main reasons:

Tywin is still the heir to Casterly Rock - and is effectively the acting lord, since Tytos hadn't countermanded his actions (as he had done in the past) and had mostly ceased to actively govern without appointing anyone else to rule in his stead - and thus the lords are going to want to be on his good side for when he does inherit the title.

More importantly, the Reynes and Tarbecks had fucked with the other Lesser Houses as well as House Lannister. The landed knights and lords whose lands Walderan Tarbeck had seized by force? House Marbrand, who had lost their lord and hundreds of their men to Roger Reyne's ambush? House Prester, who had had two of their sons kidnapped by Ellyn Tabreck? All the landed knights and Lesser Houses who had fought private wars against the Reynes, the Tarbecks, and their vassals? These people all had reason to hate the Reynes and Tarbecks and want them brought down.

So yeah, the Reynes and Tarbecks mishandled the political side of their revolt by focusing on Tytos Lannister to the exclusion of everyone else - if you're going to try to overthrow your liege lord, you want your peers onside first.

Crosshair *pondering*: At my wedding, or more likely my funeral, I want all the doors to lock and then The Rains of Castamere to play.

Hunter *hesitating to know the reasoning*:...why?

Crosshair *shrugs*: It would be funny to watch people panic.

Tech *confused*: But if you are dead-

Wrecker *laughs loudly*: That sounds brilliant!

Echo *thinking out loud*: Maybe we can do that if we are ever sent to negotiations that fail?

i was just thinking about the rains of castemere and my first thought at 'rain' was not of house reyne but of the rains that tywin brought down upon castemere. and i started thinking about how the only usage of the word rain in the song is not to refer to the house but to tywins onslaught. and how they were completely wiped out and the only mark left behind of their legacy was their name and how even that has been taken from them

"And who are you?" The proud Lord said "That I must bow so low" Only a cat of a different coat That's all the truth I know And so he spoke, and so he spoke That Lord of Castamere But now the rains weep o'er his hall And not a soul to hear Arya VII Pg 538

Entertaining himself in the middle of a rainy night, Tom O Sevenstreams sings all the songs about rain he can think of, most notably "The Rains of Castamere".

I wasn't sure how to do this one. I certainly didn't want to do a repeat of Hands of Gold. I finally decided to show Tywin watching his army attack the castle.

Baldwin nearly causes an international incident at his own wedding because he got the band to play the start of The Rains of Castamere five minutes into the reception.

😂😂 The panic on people's faces. Baldwin genuinely likes the song and doesn't see the significance. But the humans and creatures who have watched the Red Wedding are scared.

"He wouldn't...would he?" Gallowglass asked Marcus, who was just as worried about who was going to be brutally murdered at their uncle's wedding.

"He could." Miyako whispered, pointing out potential targets who suddenly seemed as if they wanted to leave.

Even his bride - I'm going to use my OC Alyssa because she's human and basically his conscience - is surprised because it's a nice song, just not for a wedding.

"What's the matter?" Baldwin asked.

Alyssa bit her lip, "You do remember the scene this music was used in?" She regrets introducing him to Game of Thrones.

"Briefly. You were too busy sobbing," He replied.

"You missed the brutal murders?" She asked

"...Ah." That's why people are tensing, heartbeats increasing. He actually relaxes in the tension.

His getting married doesn't mean he is getting soft. Let them know what's up.

(also, knowing the de Clermonts, they probably have had a few people murdered on their wedding days. Basically the Lannisters yet somehow more terrifying)
