[istumpysk]

Sorry guys, I hate to break it to a lot of you, but the girl who had this perspective:

It wasn't fair. Sansa had everything. Sansa was two years older; maybe by the time Arya had been born, there had been nothing left. Often it felt that way. Sansa could sew and dance and sing. She wrote poetry. She knew how to dress. She played the high harp and the bells. Worse, she was beautiful. Sansa had gotten their mother's fine high cheekbones and the thick auburn hair of the Tullys. Arya took after their lord father. Her hair was a lusterless brown, and her face was long and solemn. Jeyne used to call her Arya Horseface, and neigh whenever she came near. It hurt that the one thing Arya could do better than her sister was ride a horse. Well, that and manage a household. Sansa had never had much of a head for figures. If she did marry Prince Joff, Arya hoped for his sake that he had a good steward. - Arya I, AGOT

is not going to react favorably to her favorite person falling in love with Sansa. Lol

Initially, at the very least.

“And what of the direwolf?” she called after him. “What of the beast that savaged your son?” The king stopped, turned back, frowned. “I’d forgotten about the damned wolf.” -AGOT Eddard III

"Last night Hot Pie asked me if I heard you yell Winterfell back at the holdfast, when we were all fighting on the wall." "I never did!" (…) “I told Hot Pie he should clean the wax out of his ears, that all you yelled was Go to hell! If he asks you, you better say the same.” -ACOK Arya VIII

Gendry not just took his look after his father but also his wordplay skills :D

Any hope Jaime had of decent company gasped its last dying breath and withered away when Tyrion left Winterfell. Even the mediocre option of Jon Snow, whom the lion enjoyed giving hints to about life at the Wall, left to discover those harsh realities for himself. With his dear sister frustratingly keeping her distance, Jaime faced countless hours of downtime either alone or, worse, among the northerners.

He hadn't thought this place could become drearier than when they first arrived, but after the tragic survival of the young wolf Jaime realized he'd underestimated its ability. Never before had boredom gripped him so tightly as in this absolutely dreadful grey expanse of walls. His fingers itched to fight, his body ached for his lioness, and his mind bitterly regretted not pushing the boy more mindfully. He would still almost certainly die, but the wait proved inconvenient.

His gaze flickered to the young woman in the hall whose name escaped him, if he'd ever known it at all, voice breaking the stillness as he sought eye contact, "Winterfell certainly has a distinct lack of charm. Don't you agree?"

I need to know how you feel about a "Starkbowl" between Arya and Sansa happening in future books. (This theory really frustrates me, and I just need validation.)

No idea what people who use that term envision, exactly.

GRRM didn't introduce the two sisters in conflict and then escalate it into violence, insult and resentment that was left unresolved just in order to utterly ignore that aspect of their relationship upon their reunion. ESPECIALLY because the conflict is based so much in misapplied blame for the way both are oppressed in their patriarchical world.

He also didn't create a mirroring sister-sister conflict with Lysa and Catelyn that was exacerbated by The Main Political Villain who is even now entrapping himself in his obsession with Sansa even as he entraps her in his web of manipulation and threat. The same villain who is the main architect of Ned's death.

Arya killed a near identical looking man ("he has a villain's beard") who ran an insurance scheme in Bravos (a monetary man and she killed him with a coin). She sailed beneath the Titan (Littlefinger's symbol), unscared, the way she sat between the legs of Baelor's statue while her father was sentenced to death in a mockery of justice, of the pardon deal Sansa had tried to forge. The Titan's Daughter was the name of that ship. She mirrors a lot of Sansa's Littlefinger relationship through echoing imagery. Arya keeps being connected to a relationship she is not yet part of.

So GRRM will definitely pick up that thread of conflict and miscommunication and he will probably set Littlefinger up in trying to exploit it, like he exploited Lysa's resentment at Catelyn. I think it's going to end specifically in a fair trial and legal execution for Littlefinger. I think the show's "Winterhell" got that much right, even if probably little else, especially because they omitted another important factor and person: Jeyne Poole, who shares both in the conflict between the sisters and in the personal and political exploitation by Littlefinger.

I don't know if an exploration of the way time and maturity affect their childish conflicts, if a triumph of girls overcoming their differences to unite against an oppressive system and a specific individual enemy... can be called a "bowl".

If it can, then, yes, there will be a Starkbowl.

If not, then not.

Winterhell*",✧⁠*⁠。..

/My first post on tumblr///

[rise-my-angel]

Any chance we could get a micro series..."The Adventures of Hotpie"..?

It was stupid to be nervous about it. That's certainly how Arry would put it, he thought. Or, Arya, he supposed, now that he knew her real name. One of them Starks, the one they called traitors. But, Arry wasn't a traitor, not to him. She was rude and called him stupid as much as he and Lommy used to call her names back when they thought she was a boy.

But, it had been a long time since then, and Lommy was dead. He watched as some Lannister sword stick him through the throat and he was gone. Hotpie had seen people die before, but not friends. Not until that night, which is why no matter what he stuck by Arry and Gendry so close after that. They were all they had left, until now.

They had been found by the Brotherhood Without Banners. Those outlaws the Mountain was looking for. He wanted nothing to do with them, but they weren't really given a choice and were brought to the Inn they all stood in now.

That big ugly soldier, The Hound he recalled, recognized Arry as Arya Stark and now the Brotherhood were keeping her, and Gendry he guessed. Gendry was a smith so he was useful, Hotpie didn't know where he'd fit in with the group now. Or so he thought.

He had baked some brown bread for the Inn Keeper, and decided he was too valuable to let go and was keeping him as payment. Not that he minded, he wasn't suited for being out on the road clearly. But, Arry and Gendry were still leaving, and Hotpie had wanted to do something.

Moreso for Arry. Gendry was fine, but Hotpie knew he'd have been dead without Arry many times, and would actually miss her. Realizing she was one of them Starks, he thought of an idea. The brown bread the Inn Keeper liked so much. What if he made Arry some, in the shape of a wolf? Like her house?

So, as they all prepared to leave outside, Hotpie got to work in the kitchen inside. Now though, the nerves finally kicked in. He knew he was the odd one out of the group, and hoped that this would be okay enough of a send off for getting him this far. They were his friends and he'd miss them, even if he wasn't so sure they'd miss him. He still wanted to do something to show how he felt.

Hotpie could sometimes still hear Lommy as if he were still alive. Would make fun of him for saying how he "felt", and Hotpie would've called him names in return for being such an idiot about it. But, Lommy wasn't there. Just him, and it was about to be that way for a very long time.

He was pretty certain he was never going to see Arry or Gendry again. He hoped he would, but he didn't keep his hopes up.

Finally, the bread was done and he wrapped it up. The still steaming loaf nice and warm and soft and while he was happy with himself, he could only hope that Arry didn't hate it.

Instantly she was on him when he came outside, saying they were leaving soon and was confused when he told them he wasn't coming. Explaining it to them both, "I baked some brown bread for the Inn Keep and she said she never had better. Told Thoros she's keeping me as a payment for all the free meals she's given him. Anyway, it's not me the Brotherhood wants. My brother ain't no king. I'm not a Stark of Winterhell." Correcting him saying it was Winterefell, his face dropped in confusion, asking "You sure?"

She just gave him that flat faced expression he'd come to miss as she said just as flatly, no doubt trying very hard not to call him stupid. "I'm sure."

Shrugging it off, he summoned away his nerves to try and act as casual about it as possible. Gendry was still there and it would be awkward for Hotpie to get emotional in front of another boy about a girl, even when it wasn't in that way. "Well, I made you something."

Unwrapping it, she seemed to look confused at first and the nerves came right back, the butterflies twisting in his stomach that she hated it and he just gave his only real friends an immensely embarrassing goodbye gift. "What is it?"

"It's a wolf."

Looking more closely at it, then sharing a look with Gendry that Hotpie was too scared to follow, she tapped at one end of it, a little smile on her face that he liked far better then the flat one when she insulted him. "That's the tail?"

She kept looking at the wold bread as he finally turned to Gendry, who looked just about ready to leave this conversation. He'd miss him too, but not as much. Hotpie wouldn't say that, nor did he think Gendry would take offense but it was just different between boys. Arry was a girl at the end of the day, his friendship with her was different even if at different times they both thought the other a stupid idiot.

Gendry nodded, "Well, be safe."

Hotpie only said what was on his mind, and he meant it. "You too. Don't get stabbed."

Just as awkwardly did Gendry respond, "You don't...burn your fingers.." Before patting him on the shoulder, grabbing his things and turning to leave. Leaving Hotpie and Arry, who was still gently holding the wolf bread.

Finally the nerves went away, and was replaced by a sadness. Arry showed up with Yoren as this scrawny orphan boy that Hotpie and Lommy liked to make fun of. Watched Yoren and Lommy both die when they got captured by the Lannisters, almost got killed by the Mountain and the Tickler, realized Arry was a girl, escaped by some scary assasin guy that Hotpie didn't even understand how she got the trust of, and now?

She was leaving for more dangerous adventures with some greater purpose as some Lord's daughter, sister of some King. And Hotpie would stay here. The little Inn making food always wondering if she never made it longer, or if one day she'd come walking back inside the Inn and he'd get to have his friend back.

But he didn't hold out hope, being on the road together didn't give him much of that. So he'd hold onto this moment, and the memories as long as he could. She gave him a real smile, small and solemn, but real. "Goodbye, Hotpie."

"Goodbye, Arry."

He didn't stay to watch her get on the horse and leave. He was about to close the door to return inside when he heard her shouting, "Hey Hotpie," Turning to look, her voice was higher pitched and something actually happy sounding for once. Her mouth half full with a bite of the bread he baked her as she gestured down to it, "It's really good."

Hotpie smiled before going back inside for good. In that moment he decided he'd keep working on the bread. Putting out of his mind the question of what if he'd never see his friend again, Hotpie got to work.

He would work on making a better wolf shaped bread every chance he got, and work on it he did.

I’m currently watching GOT season 7 and my god do I hate the whole Arya/Sansa plot 😭 Why does Arya attack Sansa so suddenly when she’s literally doing nothing but her duty as lady of Winterfell ? She’s proving time and time again that she is NOT conspiring to seize Jon’s throne and that she’s even willing to give up her position as lady of Winterfell to Bran and yet she still get attacked by Arya out of nowhere ? Also I simply hate the scene where Arya is basically threatening Sansa who is literally crying out of fear, I mean how does one can think it is a good look for Arya re-traumatize a rape survivor ? I simply hate the way they handled their conflict

We should have known it would all end in a pathetic mess.

They ignored complex emotional conflict in favor of making characters act in wildly irrrational ways that contradict their logical priorities or the facts happening right in front of them - in order to hide a surprise twist that wasn't really surprising or a twist unless you're an imbecile.

It's the only trick they know.
