#Arya's focus has always been to return home and to her family and that hasn't changed + won't change in the future

[fromtheseventhhell]

I don't think anyone who believes Arya is focused on revenge has ever actually read her chapters, it's just been one long game of telephone where people repeat a take they heard so they can pretend they know what they're talking about

#arya stark #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #and usually the evidence is that she's with the faceless men?? when it's been made clear she's with them because she has nowhere else to go #this isn't even subtext it's literally just what written plainly on the page but people still have trouble understanding it #Arya's focus has always been to return home and to her family and that hasn't changed + won't change in the future #if she truly wanted to hunt down the people on her list then why hasn't she ever thought about doing so?? #or thought that she wants/needs to stay with the faceless men so she can learn their skills to take revenge? #people act like we don't have direct access to the character's thoughts and try and fill in the blanks based on assumptions and vibes #I challenge anyone who thinks this to give me any actually evidence to prove that Arya is solely focused on revenge #need idiots who lowered the curve of their english classes to stop speaking on complex characters they can't seem to comprehend #like Arya isn't the one poisoning a disabled child cause she was told she'd benefit from it worry about that instead of speaking on her
