#lady stark of winterfell

[ladystoneboobs]

the younger starklings about robb (robb the strong and brave big brother, the perfect heir, the fierce and unbeatable young wolf):

arya

bran

sansa

meanwhile, actual robb (robb the lord and then robb the kitn):

before arya ever promised to be strong by using robb as her benchmark, the definition of stark strength, ned had to remind robb to be strong as the ruling stark in winterfell. (strong for bran and rickon, the brothers he thought he failed by sending their would-be killer away, leading to his great moment of weakness in jeyne westerling's bed.) as his siblings' faith in his ultimate triumph held strong, even after the loss of the north, robb himself was struggling with despair.

as grenn once told sam, maybe everyone is just pretending to be brave, maybe that's how people become brave. robb was faking it to make it too, imitating his father's lordly attitude as bran later tried to imitate robb's. as his younger siblings remembered him as their shining example, robb was trying to live up to his father's example. not the ned who'd been in his circumstances, a teenager unexpectedly turned into a lord and fighting a war to save his family. no, ofc, he never knew that young ned. the ned he knew as his father, the standard to measure himself against, was an adult man in his mid-30s who'd ruled the north for ~15 years. but was that standard for a 15/16yo any more fair and valid an expectation than 8/9yo bran believing he was almost a man grown and holding himself to the standard of 15/16yo robb as robb's heir?

and the only person left close enough to see robb as the boy he still was died with him.

Arya offering Sam food and helping him + executing Daeron for being a deserter is so Lady of Winterfell-coded

#arya stark #asoiaf #her fulfilling her duty as a Stark? the same duties as her father even all the way in Braavos? #this is why her being Lady of Winterfell eats because she's still fulfilling tasks not traditionally associated with women #Arya making her own place as an unconventional woman >>>>>>>> #I don't understand people thinking she'll give up her position as a lady when her identity is so intertwined with her being a Stark #specifically a Stark who serves her people like her father which is why she is always recalling and trying to live by his advice

"key five" starks, my beloved: jon, arya and bran

Saying that Sansa’s rest of the plot is in the Vale is like saying Arya’s rest of of the plot is in Braavos. Hope that helps.

#GET MY GIRL OUT OF THE VALE #what is she doing there? #seriously #fuck this shit #get them both to winterfell asap please #rebuild it together #or don’t #just come home #if I hear one more ‘oh Sansa has too much plot to cover in the Vale to come back to winterfell’ #or ‘her plot is being the lady of the vale’ #bad faith interpretations have no room in this household #my girl was praying for winterfell all the way back in acok #she went with LF thinking he’s taking her home back to WF #hiding behind horrible half baked theories isn’t going to save you #just come out and admit to yourself that you’re a Sansa hater on the main #and let us block you and live our lives in peace #I am so pissed today #everyday I have to see opinions of people who barely passed 8th grade literature on 3-dimensional women #the vein in my head is having a party #sansa stark #asoiaf #anti sansa antis

me: stripping sansa of her kindness that is a part of her to make her cynical and think that everything she loved as a child is stupid was a terrible decision

someone: exactly she would've been best friends with-

me: this is where i leave

#why would she be best friends with someone trying to steal the north away again #her brother and mother died for the north #she bled for the north #she is the northern girl winterfell's daughter! #she won't be best friends but she won't be hostile either because courtesy is a lady's armor #sansa stark #asoiaf

Late one night, Catelyn wakes up in a cold sweat, gasping for air as a terrifying thought dawns on her; Arya is not bad at needling, she’s just left-handed

i really do find catelyn’s loving lack of respect for edmure interesting bc it is a contrast to her relationship with robb. robb, who is a teenager, yet she can clearly recognize all his merits as a ruler. she does chafe under robb’s kingly authority, (bc who wouldn’t resent being ignored by your own kid whom you still outranked not long before?), but she still tries to be mindful of his status with the men until releasing jaime behind his back, and even after that she tries to act humble when accepting his judgment publicly upon his return. edmure gets none of that. she’ll snap at him in private or in front of his friends/bannermen, without the same sympathy she has for the difficulty of robb’s position even when his words are most hurtful. 

and idt this difference in respect can be put down to robb’s superior skills as a general either, which she has conflicting feelings about. from the start, she can’t really accept the idea of edmure as acting lord, and doesn’t like it whenever she hears him called lord edmure before hoster’s death, even though he was sick for years, now confined to his deathbed, and too delirious to command anyone, a liege lord in name only. she had less trouble trusting not-yet-15yo robb to be acting lord on his own with ned gone and herself occupied at bran’s sickbed and then gone south too. she didn’t have the same reaction to men calling him lord robb when ned was still alive, even though she and robb hoped to bring ned back home and have him rule for many more years. acknowledging hoster’s more certain doom was more offensive than acknowledging robb as a temporary lord. 

but also, what it really comes down to, i think, is that it was just more natural to accept robb as lord and even king just bc she’d watched him grow up his whole life so it’s not such a sudden change to see him as a young man. with edmure, we don’t know his exact age, but even if their age difference is not as big as stannis and renly, i’d think it’s closer to robb/bran or sansa/rickon than to catelyn and lysa’s, meaning edmure was still decidedly a child when she left riverrun for winterfell. if/when she’d seen him since (before agot), it would only be in visits and the stronger impression would still be of the edmure she lived with for years, edmure the little boy. it’s like that line of asha’s about how a little brother can live to be 100 but he’ll always be a little brother. robb heeds catelyn’s advice less after he becomes king, and there’s a new distance between them after she looses jaime and he marries jeyne, but all their arguments are still really more a son and his mother than a king and any other subject who’d disagree with or disobey him. edmure, though, she has no maternal(-like) deference left from him, bc he’s a grown man and an age diff that feels big as kids doesn’t matter so much with adults. but it still matters to her and this change in attitude from edmure just might be the real fault she as eldest daughter cannot get past.

Purist book fans never fail to show their disturbing misogyny when it concerns Sansa Stark. They fetishize her personality and the trauma she went through way too much. Yes Sansa is kind. Yes Sansa is gentle of heart. However there’s limit to her kindness and gentleness. She doesn’t show them indiscriminately, especially not to those who have abused her. She has snarky sass and suppressed rage that from time to time makes an appearance. Sansa isn’t a pretty doll that will smile and please your fave. She was in conflict with your fan favorites before and will do it again in the future.

#anti asoiaf fandom #Sansa Stark #and that rage doesn’t have to be supressed once she holds political power in the North as the acting lady of winterfell #while I don’t see the conflict she will have in the books be the same as the show but it will be relatively similar

[fromtheseventhhell]

When Jon comes back to life and gains a "ghost" moniker to match with Arya, so we get the "Ghost of Harrenhal" leading in Harrenhal and the "Ghost of the North" leading in the North

#jon snow #arya stark #asoiaf #his direwolf is literally named Ghost if he doesn't get a /ghost of the wall/north/ nickname or something it's a waste imo #especially if he comes back with white hair and/or red eyes... #the more I think about it /Lady of Harrenhal Arya/ eats and while I don't think it will be her endgame I would still love to see it #Arya and Jon both stepping into roles they never thought they'd have...Arya as a ruling Lady and Jon as Lord/King of Winterfell... #not to mention in places that hold pain for both of them #plus the added layer of Lyanna's connections to Harrenhal and Arya being her literary mirror + Jon's connection/parallels with Rhaegar #ALSO Arya saying that Jon's direwolf /was a ghost/ when she meets the ghost of high heart yeah...yeah

Sansa Stark, Lady of Winterfell.

For this look I went all in on making things as Stark as possible. A part of this of course is pageantry, subtle messages that order is reestablished, that the Starks have returned, the True Wardens of the North will look after everyone, etc. Lots of subliminal messaging going on. Greys, silvers, wolf motifs, hair taping, winter fabrics, the whole nine. It's also probably very reassuring to Sansa that she has the freedom to dress this way and honor the North at all.

Anyway, she takes to being Lady Stark like a duck to water and the people of Winterfell (and the North in general) adore her for it.
