#sansa and catelyn

[starrysansa]

hey so catelyn canonically used to brush and braid sansa’s hair herself. just btw. she’d send sansa’s attendants away and do it herself. and i am. not normal about that

My lady, look down on this battle with a mother's eyes. They are all sons, every one. Spare them if you can, and spare my own sons as well. Watch over Robb and Bran and Rickon. Would that I were with them. -ACOK, Catelyn IV

Day 2: Family

When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.

i love the way sansa is so proud to be catelyn's daughter. in a world where women are expected to assimilate to their husbands' world once they get married, there's sansa adopting her mother's gods into her creed, taking pride in having her mother's looks, often choosing to wear the colors of her mother's house and, most importantly, drawing strength from her mother's memory. what's so great about this is that it's not an act of spite against her father. she's just proud of being both stark and tully. it's like arya said: the woman is important too.

there’s something so special to me about the casual intimacy (both physical and emotional) of the stark family. robb carrying bran to his horse. bran holding robb’s hand to comfort him. jon ruffling arya’s hair and pushing her around and her laughing and pushing him right back. ned hugging sansa and arya in front of the entire king’s court. they’re always thinking about each other and missing each other. the kids cry and fight and play and are kids, and ned and catelyn are kind to one another, and it’s beautiful. it’s so warm, so human, in contrast with the coldness of other familial relationships in the book.

birth year of ASOIAF characters if AGOT took place in 2025:

a lot of the characters in ASOIAF were aged up for the show (with good reason in a lot of cases) but one thing that always strikes me about the books is how YOUNG most of them are.

so here are what their birth years would be if the books started in 2025 (pretend their birthday this year already happened).

this based on ages in AGOT- if we meet the character later I added a year or so depending on the book (also I split groups by decades for ease of reading).

Aemon: 1926

Tywin: 1970

Jorah: 1985

Davos (if ACOK is 2026) and Oberyn (if ASOS is 2026): 1986

Robert Baratheon: 1989

Ned: 1990

Stannis: 1991

Catelyn: 1992

Jaime, Cersei, and Lysa: 1994

Drogo: 1995

Littlefinger: 1996

Sandor: 1998

Tyrion: 2001

Viserys and Renly: 2004

Theon: 2006

Shae and Brienne (if ACOK is 2026): 2007

Loras: 2009

Jon, Robb, Samwell, and Margaery: 2011

Daenerys, Joffrey, and Meera (if ACOK is 2026): 2012

Sansa: 2014

Jojun (if ACOK is 2026): 2015

Arya: 2016

Bran and Myrcella: 2018

Tommon: 2019

Robert Arryn: 2020

Rickon: 2023

please comment if I got anything wrong/forgot anyone! (characters whose ages are too ambiguous I didn't include)

They threw her body into the river and called it mercy. But the Trident bore her back, crowned in vengeance, cradling death in her arms.

final product of this ask given to me by @bastardofharrenhal. Catelyn makes me feel a type of way

Day 4: House Stark

Arya, the lone wolf, still lived, but the wolves of the pack had been taken and slain and skinned.
