King of Kings and Feet of Clay...

Another gigantic harpy stood atop the gate [in Astapor], this one made of baked red clay and crumbling visibly, with no more than a stub of her scorpion's tail remaining. The chain she grasped in her clay claws was old iron, rotten with rust. ~ A Storm of Swords, Daenerys II

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. ~ Daniel, 2, 31-35, King James Version

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. ~  Percy Shelley, Ozymandias, 1819 edition

"You have brought freedom as well," Missandei pointed out. "Freedom to starve?" asked Dany sharply. "Freedom to die? Am I a dragon, or a harpy?" Am I mad? Do I have the taint? "A dragon," Ser Barristan said with certainty. "Meeren is not Westeros, Your Grace." ~ A Storm of Swords, Daenerys VI

Got Au 

ASOIAF Au

Lorra Stark

The eldest daughter of Eddard and Catelyn

Born 282 almost 10 months after her brother Robb

( Name is pulled off of stark family tree: https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/House_Stark)

Lorra Stark is the eldest daughter of Lord Eddard Stark and His Wife Catlyn she is one of eight children

Robb

Lorra (Au character)

Hoster † ( Au character ) 

Sansa 

Arya

Brandon 

Rickon

Minisa ( Not born until the tail end of season one in this Au) 

Lorra is born ten months after her elder brother Robb, and shortly after her birth, her mother gives birth to another son. Hoster Stark does not live a week before he passes on. 

Lorra is a northern girl who has southern talents. So she rides horses and practices archery and has a fondness for falconry. Still, she also is a fine seamstress, and she can recite epic poetry. She has a pleasant singing voice and can even have a minor talent for the harp.

Lorra still is a northern girl at heart. Preferring simpler designs and manners. Much to her mother's horror, Lorra's favorite design to make is bone lace or pillow lace. Intensely popular in the North but looked down upon in the south, for it is made from a standard fabric. 

Lorra's favorite thing to do is create new gowns and designs. She loves learning different sowing techniques and different styling types. She has a closet full of dresses she could not wear in the northern realm. She loves using her little siblings as mannequins. ( They do so grudgingly because Lorra pays them in sweets.)

Lorra is a shining example for her younger sisters to follow. Both Sansa and Arya developing more common personality traits rather than being so radically different. 

Sansa embraces her northern culture earlier, she gets into the history of her home country. She appreciates the beauty that can not be found anywhere else on the map. Sansa turns into quite an artist with her steady hand she makes many a beautiful painting. 

Arya, on the other hand, does not rebel quite so hard. She first learns to braid by her sister's hand; at first, it's her hair, but then the lessons turn to archery and how to properly string a bow. Arya learns to stitch, and she has a practiced hand, but she's forever dragging her sisters about to go riding or hunting. Arya has quite the selection of hawks, each wears a braided band around it claw, its color denotes its name. 

Lorra and her brothers all have a good relationship, but she is not as close to them as she is her sisters.  Since she is the eldest girl, she often helps her mother take care of her younger brothers. When she has time, that is. 

At 14 years old; Her mother has started giving her more and more responsibility, its training, for when she has a keep of her own to room. At 14, she's in charge of the kitchen. She oversees the creation of the menu, the stocking of provisions, and what happens to the leftovers. Her mother still double checks her work, but Catelyn even lets Lorra handle most of those duties now.  

Lorra has a dire wolf as well as her father, uncle, and siblings

( Names are Subject to change)

Robb = Gray-wind

Lorra=  Patience

Hoster = None ( there is a dire wolf pup, but Eddard takes him.) 

Sansa= Winter -rose

Arya=Nymeria

Brandon= Duncan ( After Ser Duncan the Tall)

Rickon = Shaggy-dog

Minisa= ( This pup is sent back with Benjen to the wall )

Jon= Ghost

Eddard= Valor

Benjen= Lya

As the eldest daughter, Lorra is the one betrothed to crown prince Joffery. 

In this story, however, none of the girls are enamored with Kings Landing; when their father tells them its time to leave, they all follow his orders. However, things do not go as planned. They are all forced to flee.

Arya flees with her dancing master to Bravos. 

Sansa manages to escape with Vaymon and Jeyne Poole as well as four stark guardsmen. ( They travel to Riverrun and are the first to reach safety) 

Lorra, however, is waylaid by red clocks and is kept in the red keep. She takes on much of Sansa's storyline. However, she leaves with Tyrion and flees with him during the events of the purple wedding. 

Once in Essos, she Tyrion and Varys make their way to Daenerys Targaryen. Who is ruling Meeren and has her young son Reago with her. After much deliberation, they are expected in. Lorra first becomes her designer and later one of her handmaidens. 

( Daenerys dissolves the marriage of Tryion and Lorra ) 

Lorra proves to be very knowledgeable and is indispensable when it comes to information about the North. When she is finally safe, she lets her brother know and keeps in regular contact. 

Knowing that none of his sisters are in the Capital, Robb withdraws from the war and holds his line at the Riverland border. 

With his mother, sister, and newest sister Minisa to protect, Robb takes a much more conservative approach. He sends his mother and youngest sister back to Winterfell with 1/2 of the army and orders to start rebuilding the moat as fast as possible.

The way the story changes in major points

Theon is sent back with Catelyn, Sansa, and Minisa instead of going to the Iron Islands. He and Robb have high trust in each other, and Robb asks him to guard his family. 

With no one to rescue in Kingslanding, Robb does not advance past River Lands.

Robb is aware of Daenerys and her Dragons.

Finding Arya becomes a significant plot point. 

Robb does not die.

Robb Stark marries Roslin Frey before crossing the bridge, she is sent to Winterfell with his mother and sisters. 

Stannis wages war on the south much longer than in Canon

Stannis has three children

Shireen

Edmund 

Luthor

Of Robert Baratheon 20 children three live

Edric Storm

Mya Stone 

Gendry Waters

Stannis wins over the lords of storms end instead of them siding with Renly

Daenerys kills Stannis 

In the end, Lorra marries Edric Storm-Baratheon and becomes the lady of Storms End. ( She and Tyrion still have a good relationship, this creates centuries of good relations between the west and the Stormsland

Lorra becomes a legendary seamstress, she turns the Stormlands into one of the t production capital of the globe. 

Lorra and Edric have 7 children.

Sansa marries ( ?) and becomes the lady of Moat Caitlin renamed Winters Gate, and she and her husband take on the new name of Whitetower

Arya marries into the Manderley's; she is based in a port city. She often travels back in forth between Westeros and Essos. 

Minisa ends up being courted by Prince Reago. She becomes his first wife. 

Reago takes two wives, both for love. He feels he must repopulate the Targaeyn line because of how few are left.

After the events of the long night, bran travels to the citadel to become a master. He becomes a grandmaster in his time. He never marries. 

Rickon Stark leads the invasion of the Iron Islands with Theon Grayjoy after the rebel again. Queen Daenerys has them show no mercy, and Theon is raised as the new lord; he must promise to integrate the islands into being productive. ( They become one of the largest producers of food. And by the food, I mean fish. )

Rickon is granted an island for himself and pledges loyalty to house Grayjoy.

He and his wife take the last name of Northson and Rename the island Wolves Mouth. 

The North, while having good relations with the entire realm, goes back to its isolated tendencies.

Robb has to focus on integrating and or moving wildlings and dealing with the now-ended nights watch. As well as an expanded kingdom. 

Jon ends of being made lord of Hardhome once it is rebuilt, and Hardhome becomes the lord seats of the Winterland. He never marries but does end up having three children who bare the last name of Frostfeind. 

The North ends up being the supplier of freshwater and metals. Generating quite a bit of wealth for all of the houses.

Ned to Catelyn 

" We named Robb for Robert, and that is well and good, but I want a northern name for her."

" For your sister?"

"nay" "Do not misunderstand your thought brings me great comfort, but nay, it is still too soon."  

" Not Lyanna then, but there are still many L names from the stark bloodline; Lysara or Lynara?"

" It is still to close."

" What about Lorra?"

"Lorra"

"Aye, that is a good name."

" Then she shall be Lorra Stark, firstborn daughter of Winterfell."

SPC - The Harbingers, ASOIAF

1251 words on the Queens of Westeros. Not canon compliant with the show.

Inspired by the Four Horseman GOT edit by maisie-w on Tumblr

-.-.-

The White Horse: Conquest

There were some that called her usurper. They said that she was but a foreigner, supported by other foreigners and traitors. Three kingdoms knelt before a single drop of blood was dealt.

Others called her their true queen. They said that she come with braids in her hair and dragons at her back. Not even to speak of the armies that stomped and screamed for carnage. Two kingdoms were drenched in blood. The final two knelt.

At her coronation she invited both enemy and friend. Her castle had no roof now and three dragons perched upon crumbling towers. They roared as she came into their sight, calling for their mother, or cheering their queen.

It was all a matter of perspective.

She was not a woman with an imposing stature, but when she spoke whole kingdoms went silent. She floated across the floor, silken fabric dancing at her feet. They were bare and some stuck their noses in the air. That was fine, it made it easier for her soldiers to cut them off.

When she took the throne, she was but a speck of white against the black backdrop of an throne forged from iron.

"I am Daenerys Stormborn, the Unburnt, Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains. Queen of Meeren, the Rhoynar, the First Men, and the Andals. Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea and Protector of the Seven Kingdoms."

Her voice carried over the crowd of gather nobles and peasants. The Unsullied and her Khalasar cheered. The people in the streets below followed suit. A smattering of applause from the nobles accompanied it.

It was the Southern lords who paused. They heard the shift. Those who'd knelt last were now relegated lower amongst her titles. The Dornish and the Northmen would hold the greater power now.

"My first edict as your queen," Daenerys called out, silencing the crowds, "is to call for a council. Each kingdom will send forth 2 representatives - one from the nobility and one elected by the people."

The room filled with gasps and grumbles.

"You have six moon turns to gather here," Daenerys continued , "And then the real work will begin."

The Red Horse: War

It was a shock to more people than it should have been when she appeared at the head of the northern army. Her red hair caught the little sunlight that had emerged after the long winter.

The south had not been ready, but the North always remembers. Winter is coming. Now that the snows had started to melt, it came again. This time in the form of a little bird who had never truly been a bird.

Red ran through the streets just as it ran down her back. The south fell, one keep at a time. They stopped at the mountains, where the Dornish had assembled to meet them.

"You've done no wrong to me or mine." Sansa Stark inclined her head to Arianna Martell. "I have no want for Dorne."

The Princess of Dorne inclined her head in return, "And what is the Queen in the North does want?"

Painted lips quirked up in a smile, "Justice."

The northern host turned around. Tens of thousands of men and nearly so many horses trampled back over the land from which they'd come. They took with them only that which they'd come for: the bones of their fallen and the lives of those who'd slain them.

When Sansa Stark sat upon her wooden throne in Winterfell the crown placed upon her head was forged in iron just like the one worn by the Old Kings of Winter.

"The lone wolf dies," Sansa told the lords and ladies and peasants gathered in the godswood, "but the pack survives." Cheers rang out. Sansa did not smile, she searched the crowd for a familiar face. None appeared.

The Black Horse: Famine

With Tommen's death, Cersei abandoned her red and gold gowns. She dressed in black as if a member of the Night's Watch. Her watch was not of some barren wasteland covered in ice, but of a city filled to the brim with rats and people.

Personally, she preferred the rats. They didn't cry and beg at her door, they didn't scream or shout at her as she walked through the streets.

"Your highness," some snot-nosed lord was bowed at the waist as he addressed her. Cersei sipped her wine. The council all eyed the man with bored faces, "My people are starving."

Cersei snorted, "The whole of the seven kingdoms is starving." She snatched a grape from the dish in front of her, "What makes your people so special that I should open my stores for them?"

The lord eyed her table. The grapes were not alone upon the wooden surface, dishes of fruits and meats sat ready for the council to partake.

"I will give you the same advice I have given every lord who has graced me with this same request," Cersei stood from her seat. The council all straightened. "Ration well."

With a wave of her hand the man was taken from her sight by knights with red cloaks. He yelled. They all did. He cursed her. They all did.

"Might I suggest we take further requests for aid in the throne room, my queen?" It was her Master of Whispers, Cersei had long forgotten his name at this point. The Seven help her, she missed Varys.

"No." Cersei popped another grape into her mouth. She began to walk the table, "We will hear no more requests for food." She stalked from the room, "I am their queen, I have more important matters to deal with."

The council rose, bowed, and watched her leave. The Kingsguard followed after her, appearing like ghosts from around the room.

The Master of Whisper sighed, "So says the queen."

The Pale Horse: Death

No one in Winterfell batted an eye at the appearance of a man in rags. The winter had been harsh, there were many beggars. Even more now, with the border to the south clear.

Despite the shorter growing periods and the fewer people, the North had fared much better than the southern kingdoms through the long night. It worked to her advantage as she slipped into the castle.

She'd taken advantage of the horrors and dark of the winter. Her list had finished.

Cersei. The Mountain. The Hound. Dunsen. Lorch. Ilyn Payne. Trant.

They were all dead. House Frey with them. She'd visited the Dreadfor to finish, but had found it abandoned. Rumors on the road to Winterfell was that House Boltan had been ended by the Queen in the North.

Arya Stark. It had been a while since she'd slipped into her own face. She did though, as she entered the godswood.

Queen Sansa held court in the godswood, before the eyes of the gods. Arya hung back, listened as her sister heard the needs of her people. Their people.

Rickon had been returned from Skagos. Or so rumors said. But he was wild and illiterate and unwilling to take his sister's crown. The north had gone the way of Dorne then, changed the laws so that daughters held equal rights to their father's names and holdings.

Arya'd heard the grumblings in the courtyard. The assassin never got close to Sansa. Nor would any other.

The Queen in the North would be protected by the Lord of Death. This, she swore. Valar morghulis.

All men must die, but Sansa was not a man.

[labime]

Now people think Daario is better than Jon? Lol. Each their own but come on like he ever had so much more respect for Dany than Jon. Daario who by the way saw Dany only as Queen because of her Dragons, felt entitled to her (visiting her bedchamber like that) and bragging what a good lay she was. Yeah what Jon did or didn't do in the ep was shitty but to suddenly bring back Daario to the table....

I feel like the Jonerys fandom is really frustrated with the writing of the show right now and that translates by the sentiment that Daenerys deserves better in her companion. So far, ever since meeting Jon, we’ve seen her loses one of her dragons while rescuing him from his mission, then commits herself to protect the north without him having bent the knee yet at this point—she did it because it was the right thing, but she had other option: wait it out like Cersei did, or go back to Meeren with her armies and remaining dragons to rule there—, then negotiates a truce with an enemy she doesn’t trust.

After all of that, she comes to the North and is greeted by nothing but contempt and mistrust, so much that at this point she has only Jon, who then goes through one hell of an identity crisis—which is understandable—and put distance between them after he learns who his parents really were. The revelations endanger her claim to the throne, and immediately in the next episode, she loses not only her khalasar and most of her armies and but also her friend who dies protecting her.

Most of us Daenerys stans thought that that huge sacrifice would at least be acknowledged in 8x04 but instead, it’s Jon who gets praised for doing exactly what she did. Sansa is still aggressively opposed to Daenerys—so much that she’s crying while looking at her???—because of the Northern Independence, apparently. Arya sides with Sansa and states that they can’t trust Daenerys because she isn’t a Stark, despite her brother’s—who’s also a Stark—certainty that she would make a good queen. The secret Daenerys begged Jon not to share explodes like she knew it would when Sansa proves herself incapable of keeping an oath she made to her brother—and supposedly rightful king—for more than one day.

Daenerys is held to different standards by the characters, narrative, and fans and because of a sudden twist in the narrative in that same episode, her advisers are conspiring, planning to put someone else on the throne, and giving her ineffective advises, all the while expecting her to trust them blindly and taking it as proof that she’s unfit to rule when she is reluctant to. Their last advice concludes in Missandei’s murder and Daenerys’ last loss, which leads to her breaking point and her descent into madness that ultimately culminates in Jon killing her.

I think that’s what most are upset about: after she has lost so much for Jon, he will be the one killing her.

I maintain that the problem is with the writing, though, because I can’t see what other alternatives Jon would have if those leaks are true and she not only executes civilians indiscriminately but she even allows rapes and can’t be convinced she’s wrong with even after he tries to stop her. Which would be the worst character assassination since it is something she fought against even when she was only Drogo’s wife and entirely dependent on him. Yet, from his perspective, what other solutions does he have? At this point she’d be more unstable than Maegor and Aerys.

To address your point about Daario, I agree that his behavior towards her was less than stellar, more so in the books than in the show where I feel the writers mellowed him down to make him more sympathetic—which works fine for me—but for many, his devotion for Daenerys contrasts with Jon’s unwillingness to make concessions in her name. Daenerys would give orders and Daario would do as asked with little to no questions, and Jon just… doesn’t.

That, I think, is not at all indicating different degrees of love the two of them supposedly have for her but a glaring difference in their personalities. Daario is a mercenary who doesn’t have a family or allegiances. The values he has are his own and no one is dependent on him so he can acts however he wants. He killed when he was paid to and betrayed when it was convenient for him. He decided he wanted Daenerys and resolved to serve her.

Unlike him, Jon prizes honor and loyalty above all. He refused to leave to Night Watch even with his brother at war because he was reminded of the vows he took. He grew up with a father he loved and admired for his honor and values. He was pushed into positions of power he didn’t want and tried to make the best of it by protecting and unifying everyone. He had—and still has—people who trusted him to make the good decisions and who would suffer from it if he didn’t. Even when his relationship with Daenrys developed he still didn’t bend the knee before she proved him she could be a good queen, because he isn’t the kind of man who can simply pledge himself to someone based on anything but the absolute certitude that it is a good choice, and his fealty not only involves himself but also his kingdom and his armies, people who would die on his commands.

His principles are driving him and it’s not something that can vanish because of love.

He has been criticized in the Jonerys fandom the last episode and like I said I see where people are coming from but I don’t believe he mistreated Daenerys in any way. Us, as viewers, are here to witness the consequences of his actions but Jon, as a character, took the decisions to share a secret with his sisters who were, to some extent, affected by it due to the fact it involves their family. He did it after literally dropping to his knees and reaffirming his loyalty for Daenerys and defying his sister by declaring his full support for Daenerys and her war. He defended her in public and in private.

Maybe it wasn’t the passionate rant that would have been satisfying for us as viewers but it was a mark of commitment and respect regardless of romantic love and perfectly in character for him. The only thing I can reproach him is that he didn’t mention Daenerys’ efforts when he was congratulated by Tormund.

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 3 Pt. 2

WARNINGS: SPOILERS (obvs); not a Khaliiiisi fan; Jonsa shipper so I might talk about it.

————–

4.- Euron Sparrow (I feel like I should add Captain somewhere) makes his heroic entrance in KL, and I find this kinda intresting, Hot Pie told Arya it was Cersei the one who blew the Great Sept of Baelor like it was common knowledge, but like how do people in Westeros know this stuff? news travel by ravens, and merchants and soldiers perharps but common people don’t know the High Lords and Ladies motivations and information has a way to get twisted (the best example I can think of is Season 5’ s troupe from Braavos, they told the story of Joffrey’s ascention and his death in a very pro-Lannister light) so I’m really interested in knowing just what did Cersei said about the whole affair. I mean people’s reaction to Ellaria and co. is pure entreteinment for them, they have no real beef with them but still interested in all this stuff.

We have Cersei herself sitting on the fugliest chair of the 7 realms (aka the IT) while Euron gallops into the throne room (like Euron can you be a lil’ less extra??) and presents her with her gift while shading the fuck outta Jaime, anyway Euron wants to put a date to their wedding but Cersei is having none of that until the war is over.

Euron still is looking for a fight with Jaime, and says he hopes the can have a bro talk about just how kinky is Cersei in bed (LMAO Euron is awful but he makes me laugh a lot).

Now we have Cersei in the dungeons with a very bright pink lipstick on (where do you even get that stuff???) and talks about Oberyn vs. The Mountain, she is just taunting Ellaria and has a very emotional moment while talking about Myrcella (Lena Headley is a hell of an actress, as much as I hate Cersei I don’t want her to die if only to keep enjoying her brilliant performance)

Then she kisses Tyene and reveals Qyburn managed to find out the poison Ellaria used with her daughter and her revenge would be forcing her to see Tyene die, and then wipes away the poison-pink lipstick and drinks the antidote like a total badass (RIP bad pussy).

So getting revenge turns her on and she goes to kiss Jaime and gives him head (like wow there has been a lot of oral this season), they end up on bed, and one of Cersei’s maids knocks, Jaime is like oh no, nobody must know!! And she’s like I’m queen so I can do whatever the fuck I want (no, that’s not how it works, that’s what got your monster of a son killed dumbass) anyway it seems short hair is lit now (cool cuz I got short hair too) and doesn’t say anything about literal incest in front of her (very wise dear).

Now apparently Cersei has a visitor from the Iron Bank (remember they are hella broke thanks to Robert?) and she has to deal with it, to be fair Cersei is a hell of a negociator, she manages to convince the emmisary to give her 15 days to pay her debts and trash talks D once again (the fuck bitch me too).

(round here I get confused about the order of the scenes but I’ll try)

5.- So Theon is found by a surviving ship and the Captain treats him like dirt for not fighting for Yara, and pls leave my son alone.

I have nothing much to add really was a pretty short scene and I hope to see more of Theon next episode.

6.- Back in Dragon Stone we have Jon talking with Tyrion, he says he was wrong to have come and wants to go back home (OMG my poor baby) cuz it’s clear D has no intention to help him, Tyrion tells him to cut her some slack (I mean I kinda agree it’s not easy to believe and fight with a dude you just met but then again she was very rude and antagonistic) and goes around telling him about all the good stuff D has done (k I get his point, but were you there to see the conquest of Meeren and Astapor Tyrion?? No, you got there when shit hit the fan due to Danisss incompetence as a ruler, so I fail to see how someone as clever and analytical would make such blind statements unless that someone is in love) Jon agrees reluctantly.

7.- Winterfell!!! At last!!! So we see Sansa talking with Lord Royce, LF and the Maester about the resources they have for Winter, and she is Walking around the castle looking over the preparations and making questions and very good suggestions every now and then.

Seeing this scene struck me this is the first time we see someone actually ruling, allow me to explain: the first 2 shots we get of D and Cersei are of them sitting on their thrones but doing nothing but serve themselves (D with trying to force Jon to bend the knee and Cersei with her revenge) now of course they’re preparing for war against each other, who gives a fuck about food or warm clothes in winter amirite Ladies? Well, A GOOD RULER that’s who, Sansa is still Lady Sansa she does not parade titles around nor she sits her ass on the court room and calls it a day or calls herself Queen, yet she is the only one who acts like one. If she doesn’t know something she immediatly asks, she seeks solutions and acts quickly, that suggestion about adding leather to the armors was a little detail but so huge because she doesn’t only care about the armor being strong but also that it keeps her people as warm and comfortable as possible, and Imma cry because it’s such a huge difference from other selfish rulers we’ve seen in the series.

Anyway, LF starts by saying ruling suites her well (dammit the first time he and I agree with something) but says she is too focused on the WW thing, she answers that they should (thank god at least someone believes in Jon) he warns about Cersei and honestly is hillarious because she knows bih!!! And she tells him as much, honestly Sansa is getting more savage in her responses to Baeless what a time to be alive!!!! Littlecreeper then proceeds to talk like a fortune-cookie, I tried to make sense of it, but still confused he tells her not to fight battles anywhere but her mind ( k I think he means being analytical and politicaly savvy, not rushing into conflicts everywhere) also that her friends are enemies and enemies are friends (bottomline I think it’s trust no one cuz alliances shift a lot in time of war, or at least that’s what I think it means) and that she will she things she has seen before (ummm so like people are predictable and she only has to observe and she’ll realize she knows what kind of people they are and thus predict/guess what they’ll do because she has already dealt with that, or is he talking about parallels or what??? Idk why is he so cryptic now???) it mattered not cuz Sansa gets called to the gate, and…

Bran!!! He is back!! And Oh my god Sophie Turner’s performance is A+ her expressions are beautiful and really made me cry, Bran is very changed tho, and I see he is getting a lot of hate but why? He is clearly dealing with a lot of difficult stuff, he IS the Three Eyed Raven now, seeing past/present/future must be hard on his psyche and the threat of the WW is overwhealming so stop pls.

They are under the weirdwood tree, Sansa looks adorable sitting in the snow and hugging her knees to her chest, and she just about kills me when she says “I wish Jon was here’ now of course I know she says so because she wishes Jon could share the hapiness and relief of having their little brother back but still (my shipper heart) and immediatly says WF is his (honestly Imma say this now, fuck the people who called her a power hungry bitch, you don’t like her or find her boring? Fine we all are allowed to have characters we like and dislike, but the blantant misogynistic hate Sansa’s been getting since day one has been overwhelming, fans of her get called delusional and anti-feminists for supporting an embodiment of the patriarchy and other willful misinterpretations of her character and I’m glad D&D have shown she is not what the fandom’s been acussing her of) putting the final nail on the Starkbowl coffin. Bran reject his title as Lord because he is the TER, and Sansa, the girl whose only contact with magic/supernatural stuff has been through what Jon told her, immediatly belives what her little brother says and not only that she asks him to explain what does it means because she wants to understand him (and OMG what a concept actually listening to people!!!) now I understand why every actor on the Stark fam wanted Sansa on the IT or Winterfell, she is an amazing ruler.

Bran triggers her ptsd talking about what Ramsey did to her, and she very graciously excuses herself, while Bran stays back to get some work on the NK business. I think this was a way to make her stop asking questions and kind of showing what his powers are about? But I’m not sure.
