i just love the idea of the stark kids making a comeback and being absolute monsters.

like house stark is basically fucking gone and the heirs are everywhere but winterfell. they have all had major personal growth and major trauma done to them so now they are so tired and will take zero shit.

also special shout out to nymeria you really are the backbone of the stark PR team really selling the ominous stark comeback and giving westeros a taste of what the starks are gonna do.

the stark kids are the reflection of war. the cold ugly truth is clear on their faces of what war does.

when i was a young teen and read ADWD back in 2014 my early gay heart was captivated by the tragedy of joncon’s love for rhaegar, but the wait for TWOW has been so long that i’ve had enough time to copy joncon myself and go through the same process of spending years obsessing over a twink friend who ultimately turned out to be straight. by the time it’s published i will probably be raising his son

Sansa whenever she is put into yet another betrothal

From "I love him, Father, I truly truly do" to "If I give him sons, he may come to love me" to "'He was only . . . he was . . .' Kind?" to "She wondered if Lord Robert would shake all through their wedding." to "Please, he doesn't need to love me, just make him like me, just a little, that would be enough for now."

Alayne Stone / Princess Sansa Stark (2/?)

Uh.. hi! It has been a strong two months since I very brazenly announced my plan to draw every female ASOIAF character. Well, I never said I’d do it QUICKLY. Life happens! I won’t go into detail. So here is Alayne/Sansa. I also drew her in her Sansa era but it was kind of giving depression vibes so I probably won’t post it. Plus I don’t want to commit to having people appear twice in this series-- it would make the Arya situation a nightmare. Anyway. I appreciate all the lovely asks I’ve gotten about characters and YES I WILL DO THEM though I might be 93 by the time I finish. See you in 2023

ALso! I’m thinking of opening up a couple commissions this winter, let me know if you would be interested. <3

One of my most wanted but unlikely things I want out of Winds is for Tyrion to watch “The Bloody Hand” in Braavos. Just him watching Bonobo monologue about his family or society or something and Tyrion going “shit that’s good I wish I said that.”

I could write a 20k word essay on why Margaery Tyrell is one of the biggest victims in the a song of ice and book series, and I'd hand it in on time with one of those folders too

ARYA STARK AND THE GODS ❦ BOURNE FOR THE GOD OF DEATH

Thirty different gods stood along the walls, surrounded by their little lights. The Weeping Woman was the favorite of old women, Arya saw; rich men preferred the Lion of Night, poor men the Hooded Wayfarer. Soldiers lit candles to Bakkalon, the Pale Child, sailors to the Moon-Pale Maiden and the Merling King. The Stranger had his shrine as well, though hardly anyone ever came to him. Most of the time only a single candle stood flickering at his feet. The kindly man said it did not matter. "He has many faces, and many ears to hear."

The Many-Faced God, also known as Him of Many Faces, is a deity worshipped by the Faceless Men, a guild of assassins established in the Free City of Braavos. The tale of the guild's beginnings centers around a figure of unknown origins, the first Faceless Man, who heard the prayers of the slaves to their various gods of death and came to conclude they all prayed to the same god "with a hundred different faces", the Many-Faced God, and that he was "that god's instrument".

This belief came to be reflected in the Guild's temple, which has a large public sanctuary that contains idols of thirty death gods. The religious order refills its pool of black water with a poison, so that drinking from it leads to a painless death. Visiting worshippers light candles to their god, then drink from the fountain using a stone cup, then go lie in one of the alcoves. Others take advantage of special alcoves, called "dreaming couches", which have special candles that bring visions of the past, for a sweet and gentle death.

Followers of Him of Many Faces consider death to be part of the natural order of things and a merciful end to suffering. The guild will agree to kill anyone in the known world, for a price, considering this contract to be a sacrament of their god. The price is always high or dear, but within means of the person if they are willing to make the sacrifice. The cost of their services also depends on the prominence and security of the target.

The High Valyrian words associated with the cult and its assassins are valar morghulis, or "all men must die", and its traditional response, valar dohaeris, or "all men must serve". This philosophy runs deep. Members are made to forsake their identities for the service of the Many-Faced God, and may only assassinate targets they have been hired to kill. They are not allowed to choose who is worthy of the "gift" by themselves.

Interviewer: How old was Daenerys when she left the house with the red door? Was it located close to the palace of the Sealord of Braavos?

George: That's an interesting question, but I don't think I'm going to answer it. There's a certain revelation about the red door that will come into the books that I have yet to write.
