The Parallels of Περσεφονη and Princess Arya Stark

You had best run back to your room, little sister. Septa Mordane will surely be lurking. You'll be sewing all through winter. When the spring thaw comes, they will find your body with a needle still locked tight between your frozen fingers. A Game of Thrones, Arya I

im sorry i only watched the show once long ago so there might be a reason for it already stated, but you said assassinations arent easy to arrange but cant they hire someone from the house of assassins to do the job? they as in the people with money, upper ranks of the the nobles and merchants from essos maybe

They could... but we have a passage that shows us how the House of Black and White sets its fees.

She did not expect the waif to answer, but she did. "I was born the only child of an ancient House, my noble father's heir," the waif replied. "My mother died when I was little, I have no memory of her. When I was six my father wed again. His new wife treated me kindly until she gave birth to a daughter of her own. Then it was her wish that I should die, so her own blood might inherit my father's wealth. She should have sought the favor of the Many-Faced God, but she could not bear the sacrifice he would ask of her. Instead, she thought to poison me herself. It left me as you see me now, but I did not die. When the healers in the House of the Red Hands told my father what she had done, he came here and made sacrifice, offering up all his wealth and me. Him of Many Faces heard his prayer. I was brought to the temple to serve, and my father's wife received the gift." [...] She had been watching the waif's face the whole time she told her story, but the other girl had shown her no signs. "The Many-Faced God took two-thirds of your father's wealth, not all." "Just so.["] Cat of the Canals, AFFC

From the references to sacrifice it very much seems that the Faceless Men charge proportionate to what someone can pay - the price is high for everyone who seeks their services. Not everyone's going to want to fork out 66% of their net worth and their child for an assassination.

please read the books for my boy jaime lannister who speedran his character arc when he realized that 99 percent of his problems can be cured with buff girl tiddy

GRRM did AFFC so good actually. Flipped the male-centric series on its head with majorly female PoVs and then started the book with our resident paranoiapilled Cersei Lannister convinced that her killer is hiding in the walls of the Red Keep. He introduced the first true knight of the series, keeping an oath to a dead woman. No chance, no choice. Asha fighting centuries of patriarchy to fight for her throne. “Balon let her believe she was a man.” “Your father made the same mistake with you.” Sansa and the whole Vale arc? Arya’s Cat of the Canals arc?? Hello? We have been served female characters on a platter here and I for one am eating. it. up. He truly snapped here tbh.

Cersei: I’m not motivated lust like stupid men

Also Cersei: Aurane Waters looks vaguely like Rhaegar. He should be on my small council

What do you think IIyn Payne found so funny about Jaime’s confession that he would have murdered Arya because Cersei told him too? Do you think he just found Jaime pathetic.

Yep.

From Ilyn's PoV, he's been brought along on this nighttime excursion to help Jaime with his sparring, which he sucks at but cannot admit to anyone. Now Jaime's actually unburdening himself. This is a paid killer, though (themes!), so the vibe here is more oh, rich boy's having a widdle emotional crisis about fucking his obviously evil sister! Ilyn has seen Jaime for who he is too.

Unlike Brienne, Ilyn's got nothing but scorn.

imagine you're Doran Martell. The last sibling you had left just died a gruesome death that was also perfectly legal so you can't raise any objection over it. Your eldest niece wants to avenge him and proposes to burn down a city that is on the opposite side of the continent than the one he was murdered in. You have her locked up. Your second eldest niece also wants to avenge him and proposes to murder the dowager queen, her brother, and their father. You have her locked up too. Your third eldest niece also wants to avenge him and proposes to crown the princess in open rebellion. You have her locked up too. You're done for the day. The next, your daughter stages the open rebellion in question. The princess is injured irrevocably. Everyone is screaming. Six people get arrested. It's been two days

I got bored at work this afternoon so I decided to find out the breakdown of male vs female povs in asoiaf by wordcount. so far I've found affc to have the greatest proportion of female povs with 60.76%, and adwd to have the smallest with 25.68%.

full breakdown:

agot - 45.01% female, 54.99% male

acok - 41.35% female, 58.65% male

asos - 39.66% female, 60.34% male

affc - 60.76% female, 39.24% male

adwd - 25.68% female, 74.32% male

total series - 41.24% female, 58.76% male

I'd like to play around w things more when I'm not tired of reading in data BUT that's what I've got so far lol

#i'm sure someone has done this already #but its fun i like doing shitty data analysis in r #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #agot #a game of thrones #acok #a clash of kings #asos #a storm of swords #affc #a feast for crows #adwd #a dance with dragons #valyrianscrolls
