#there's no way the northern succession won't get messy as hell like dance of dragons level messy

[navree]

well damn now i REALLY wanna write that sansa v arya au huh

#personal #in my defense the tudors was like little amélie's very first historical obsession #i entered historical interest basically by becoming a hardcore mary i stan #so i know a LOT about all of these people #and honestly i maintain that beyond northern independence being stupid politically #there's no way the northern succession won't get messy as hell like dance of dragons level messy #jon is robb's named heir. bran is the legitimate heir due to westerosi law. rickon has been living in the north the most. #sansa's got the vale at her back and littlefinger's machinations. arya's clearly fondly remembered and already has people rallied to her. #(even tho they're not actually to her) #and all three of them are probably gonna have really solid reasons for believing They should be in charge #along with different factions supporting each one #(again that's why i think northern independence is messy because the most logical way out of this is just bringing the north back) #(not to mention that again it's just a stupid idea) #but point is now i wanna write that mess through an elizabeth v mary lens
