the way in which jon and robb's futures are foreshadowed by the mother of the other: robb dying too young and becoming a ghost that haunts their siblings, a reminder of innocence and happier days, and jon dying and being brought back to life, a shadow of what he once was, a dark mirror to himself
BROTHER, WHY DOES EVERYONE BETRAY THE STARKS. THEY’RE JUST TRYING TO LIVE.
First cirse and Joffrey killed Ned and captured Sansa
Then Theon took over Winterfell and captured Bran and Rickon
Then Frey murdered Robb and Catelyn
Then Littlefinger gave her to Ramsay
Then Ramsay basically held Sansa prisoner
Then the Night’s Watch killed Jon Snow
Then the Umber’s gave Rickon to Ramsay
I mean I don’t even know what to say about Arya
It’s just so crazy how many people betray one family and that’s not even all
everybody is talking about that theon and sansa moment during the song and yeah it’s cute but why are we sleeping on the significance of sansa, the lady of winterfell who every northerner appears to respect considerably, eating the same thing in the same place as the smallfolk?
she’s not handing out bread to win them over as margaery did, she’s not eating more than necessary like cersei did, and she clearly understands the importance of food accessibility during the winter unlike daenerys. sansa organised a food train, sansa organised enough rations to at least temporarily feed thousands of people and kept the doors open prepared to take on more. sansa is out there on the ground along with all of jon’s people emphasising the importance of sticking together regardless of titles or loyalties.
Arya Stark of Winterfell, as I imagined her when I first read A Song of Ice and Fire.
This painting took me about two/three hours, mainly because I was experimenting with a new technique and ( since I love to make things difficult for myself) I worked straight away with colors without sketching it out first. It is far from perfect but I kinda like how it turned out.
