Y’know what’s sad. The fact that Jon Snow could’ve left the watch to save Robb, but probably wouldn’t have been able to actually save him.
He had to leave Robb and go beyond the wall to become the man that could’ve saved Robb.

Tywin is so dumb that after naming the Boltons wardens of the North and giving them Winterfell he thought they would back away when Tyrion got pregunta Sansa and she gave birth to a Lannister and Stark baby to claim WF and the North.
I don't think he expected them to back away so much as he expected them to be ground to fine powder fighting the ironborn and the Northmen who hated them.
We shall allow the Dreadfort to fight the ironborn for a few years, and see if he can bring Stark's other bannermen to heel. Come spring, all of them should be at the end of their strength and ready to bend the knee. The north will go to your son by Sansa Stark . . . (ASOS, Tyrion IV)
Tywin very much expected the Boltons to fail in the longterm.
The Red Wedding was calculated to both destroy Robb's army and destroy the reputation of the immediate perpetrators. It taints Houses Frey and Bolton both, meaning they will have a hard time being accepted in the North or Riverlands, outside, of course, the Lannister-Freys attached to Genna, who were with the Lannisters from the beginning. The clean and innocent Lannisters!
"These sparrows are especially outspoken," warned Qyburn. "The Red Wedding was an affront to all the laws of gods and men, they say, and those who had a hand in it are damned."
Cersei was not slow to take his meaning. "Lord Walder must soon face the Father's judgment. He is very old. Let the sparrows spit upon his memory. It has nought to do with us." (AFFC, Cersei IV)
It's not just propaganda, either. You can already see Jaime distancing House Lannister from the Red Wedding in his own head, in AFFC:
"No more than I want Joy to marry the son of some scheming turncloak bitch. She deserves better." Jaime would happily have strangled the woman with her seashell necklace. Joy was a sweet child, albeit a lonely one; her father had been Jaime's favorite uncle. "Your daughter is worth ten of you, my lady. You'll leave with Edmure and Ser Forley on the morrow. Until then, you would do well to stay out of my sight." He shouted for a guardsman, and Lady Sybell went off with her lips pressed primly together. Jaime had to wonder how much Lord Gawen knew about his wife's scheming. How much do we men ever know? (AFFC, Jaime VII)
He's acting like Sybell had more influence over this enormity than Tywin did. The abject hypocrisy, the screaming self-righteousnss.
But no doubt this is how they would have presented themselves to the Northmen come spring. Honorable former enemies who come bearing a legitimate Stark descendent. Not like those traitorous Boltons with their fake Arya.

I finally finished Catelyn's drawing.
It's impressive how the Red Wedding hurts me physically, Catelyn's death left me with irreparable damage, the entire Red Wedding, but especially the part where she talks to Ned in her internal dialogue, that was what really destroyed me.

My Durge Rhyleth leans heavily into the themes of sacrilege. He'd totally be panting the words of that 'Father forgive me' prayer beteeen moans while he fucks Enver in a mating press over the altar of Bhaal. There is nothing quite like a breeding ritual between the son of Bhaal and the chosen of his sworn foe.
These guys f*ck quite nasty. On their first night together after they'd offically become a couple, they both drank some of one another's blood from chalices in a ritual to bind themselves together in a wicked way that caught the ire of both Bane and Bhaal. It was almost like a wedding, maybe it was one.
