Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
Do you think Jeyne Poole name calling Arya is unrealistic? Especially when there is class difference between them.
Yes, it is very unrealistic within the setting.
GRRM tries to recreate modern day playground dynamics with these ultra-highborn feudal kids, and while there are instances where it works (the young children all playing in the godswood together), the name calling is an instance that seems implausible because of the status differences involved. It's ridiculous in a world where rulership is tied to the individual, where personal dignity and reputation are key. Anyone disrespecting the lord's own daughter so openly without consequence? Unlikely.
Since we are forced to accept it as a canon fact (early installment weirdness), we can only guess that GRRM was aiming to establish just how casual the Northern court was run in terms of status and hierarchy (which is contradicted a LOT by Jon's perspective, though) in order to help set up the Trident incident. It was a case of plot convenience.
Arya assaulting the crown prince seems a little more credible when you posit a background where a steward's daughter was free to insult her. In Arya'a eyes, it was a free for all. Which serves to show just how ill prepared she was for the wider world of the royal court.
But yeah, as far as realism goes, it's not a great choice on GRRM's part.
The only good thing we can take from it is that it establishes how excellent Jeyne Poole is at saddling someone with an unfortunate nickname. Theon knew about horseface even though he barely spent time with the girls. And her invention of "Horror and Slobber" for Horas and Hobber Redwyne is taken up by Tyrion and Cersei and likely countless others in the Red Keep, who have no idea just who came up with it.
the most embarrassing snk/aot simp arc was 11 yo me simping for jean, 17 yo me simping for s4 eren, and then 22 yo me balls deep in the down-bad for levi after the final season giving me an aot renaissance
Eren: ...And I'm the reason they need brain and brawl to begin with. I'm their motivation. I'm their glue. So sit down horseface before I glue your ass to the nearest chair.

since this seems to be a thing. here’s my headcanons for how the rainworld ancients look. longface guys! Since they’d, y’know, bioengineer things to hell and back for fun, I think they’re allowed to have intense gene editing + body modification.
It takes two seconds for every "Sansa never bullied Arya, they just had a normal sibling relationship" post to devolve into "but if there was someone to blame, it would be Arya because she was soooo mean and calls everything Sansa does stupid". The only reason the "Stark sisters 4ever" hags want them to get along is because they're desperately hoping Sansa's behavior toward Arya isn't ever addressed so they can keep pretending she's a perfect angel who can do no wrong; they won't even try to pretend it's about anything else.
not wanting to tag this bc obvious reasons but i hate asoiaf modern aus so bad, if it's your thing more power to you, but all i see is just heavy mischaracterizations of all the characters, i mean almost all modern aus have arya and sansa being besties... like at this point did you actually read the books, yeah they are sisters and probably always will be, but currently they don't have a good relationship, how could that be when the oldest sister bullies and completely bashes the younger sister self-esteem
