"If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in a summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song
If you go away
Ne me quitte pas"
It's almost like Sansa was coming to an age that can be difficult for parents with more feminine daughters, because shes on the verge of old enough to not rely on them so much but is also too young to recognize their own naivety about their worldviews. Ned doesn't not talk as much with her because he doesn't know how to, he simply has a dynamic with Arya that's much more open to honest communication.
Sansa is a girl verging on teenage years who doesn't want to talk to her father like Arya does. Not because Ned doesn't know how too. It's just frustrating when your a father who doesn't know what to say to your daughter going through an emotional stage in her life, especially when she doesn't want to start the conversation herself.
I think all of this is a valid way of looking at their relationship but personally, I don't think it's that deep. Arya and Ned's relationship is more plot relevant and Arya is a more fleshed-out character, so it makes sense that her relationships with other characters would be more fleshed out as well. Arya is constantly recalling lessons she's learned from him, his "lone wolf" quote, and the water-dancing lessons are integral to Arya's survival. This was all intentionally included as part of Arya's arc. It's pretty silly to say that the reason Sansa doesn't have the same is cause Ned didn't like her as much. I think people try and judge these characters like they're actual people with their own autonomy and forget that they're written in service of an ongoing narrative. So the lack of equivalent scenes between Sansa and Ned doesn't denote a strained relationship. Actually having scenes of conflict between them or Sansa recalling him unfavorably would, but we don't get any of that cause it's not part of the story.
The ASOIAF Wiki doesn’t make any sense. It says Catelyn was born 264 or 265 (makes sense), it says Lysa was born in 266 - 268 (also makes sense). And it says Edmure was born between 267 and 274.
So the Wiki puts his earliest birth year at 267, so one year after Lysa, if you take the earliest year Lysa could have been born. But this doesn’t make sense in my opinion.
The way Edmure is thought about by Cat, it is the way one would think of a way younger sibling, not one 2 or 3 years younger. We also know that Cat was raised as Hosters heir for a while and I don't think that is something that happens before you are three years old.
So in my opinion to think of someone being raised as an heir in a way that still impacts them as an adult, it has to be at least till you are 8 years old, if not older. Edmure is in my opinion at least 8 years younger then Cat, which would mean he was born 272.
So I would like to know what you think, what year he is born? Not to find a right or wrong, I would just like to know how old other people picture him.
It is the end of the war - and somehow, somehow Saera survived, with her heart bleeding, and hands crushed under the weight of the sword her father once carried...
She is alive, but she does not feel so. There is no taste on her tongue except the ash that was her mother, and the salt that are her tears and her brother's...
And Saera wished for death to come and claim her - and it did, but not in the way she wanted.
Not when she was atop her dragon, and the arrow that hit her narrowly missed her heart - not when her dragon fell, and she held on tightly to her saddle, refusing to part from the fiery part of her soul that screamed at her to flee - to fly, to spread her wings and just go - not even when she was then on the battlefield, feeling Balerion, the Valyrian God of Death breathing down on her, his claws digging deep into her shoulders, into her chest... not even when she faced her Uncle, who demanded she be made his bride - for the sake of the Realm, for she was now the oldest of Rhaenyra's children, the one with the true claim to the Iron Throne.
Saera did not die in the way she wanted - in the way she expected.
But she did die with the first word she ever learned - the first word she ever uttered, with blood gurgling at the back of her throat, staining her teeth and lips and tongue as it filled her lungs, making it difficult for her to breathe, but only easy enough to say, "Dracarys."

ich glaube tatsächlich, dass mein Bruder ohne die Serie "willkommen in Gravity Falls" (und diese eine Stelle mit dem Lämmchentanz) die Begrüßung "Hallöchen" hassen würde.
he feels small? 🥺🥺 he could crush me with one hand
Yeah same, but I have issue with feeling too big, so I can imagine his problems with seeing himself too small even if he's not. Really sad and I hope he will eventually feel good about his body🥺
