when ned describes lyanna as “beautiful, and willful, and dead before her time” & jon calls arya “fierce and willful” & sansa says that “it was as if she had become a ghost, dead before her time”—lyanna stark they could never truly kill you.

listen reading a song of ice and fire is at the end of the day somewhat of a faustian bargain because on one hand you do get what still holds up as pretty excellent representation of multiple complex female characters with a lot of depth who are treated as human people with internality and agency , but on the other hand you the reader do have to know what their tits look like. The metanarrative itself is a morally grey narrator.
