Top 5 favorite asoiaf theories?

okay so i had to consult the theory ice berg bc i forgot all of them.

1. Jeyne Westerling escaped with the Blackfish. Idk what anyone says I’m always going root for the survival of a teen girl. Plus I think there’s absolute comedy in the Blackfish adopting his grand-nephew’s teenage wife and hitting the road to get her to Greywater Watch.

2. Euron warged the dusky woman to have sex with/spy on Victarion. What else can I say except that Euron is absolutely perverted enough to do that

3. Ashara Dayne = Jyana Reed. There’s no disproving it, really, and I think the most desirable and beautiful woman in the world finding happiness in a quiet swamp with short king Howland Reed to heal after the Events of Everything is what she deserves.

4. Alyssa Targaryen is Alaric Stark’s daughter with Alysanne. Iffc, she was born right after Alysanne got back from the North. It doesnt really do anything for the plot except to poke another hole in Jaehaerys’ Pure Blood Exceptionalism

5. Renly Baratheon is Robert’s first bastard son. This is (unofficially) why he was left Storm’s End over Stannis and why Robert was sent to the Eyrie. Again, I dont think it changes/adds anything to the story, but I think it would be very interesting/ironic if Renly’s campaign for kingship did have more technical legitimacy than Stannis and neither of them realized

[smallcatsims]

So, I’ve started a new historical neighborhood.

More details and info about these sims below the cut. I rambled a LOT.

I’ve been having technical issues with Riverwood Park for probably over a month. Basically it just crashes every time I try to enter the Fischer household, and the occasional times that it loads everything is just drenched in invisible soup.

I’m not giving up on Riverwood Park. This has happened in other neighborhoods once I’ve been playing them for a while, but I don’t intend to stop that series at all. I have posts queued up for several months and I welcome any advice/solutions anyone might have for dealing with that.

However, I’ve been missing historical gameplay with all of this going on, I was chatting with some friends on the Historical Sims server and one of them was making a Victorian save file of Westeros, which made me completely giddy with excitement. I’ve actually read a couple of regency era asoiaf fanfictions so I kind of knew about the idea of a regency au westeros. But I never thought of doing it in the sims until now. 

It’s a huge undertaking and a LOT of building, so it might be a while before I post any gameplay. I’ll probably try and do shorter rotations since we’ll have a lot of families, and I’ll start actual intro rounds once we have a few more families. I just took a few photos of the sims and gave the adults careers and stuff.

So anyway..

We have the Reeds as our first family!!

Howland and Jyana Reed are very mysterious. We can only guess at their appearances through what their kids look like. All we know about Jyana is her name and all we know about Howland is that he helped Ned at the tower of joy and Ned trusts him a lot.

So technically he could have face 18, we don’t really know. Like I was going to avoid giving face 18 to one of the coolest, most mysterious characters who knows important secrets and lives in a freaking moving swamp castle. Which I was not able to create at all. I made them a nice mini-manse made out of logs and the inside is actually pretty nice, though I didn’t get pictures of it.

So, for Howland and Jyana, I just made them knowledge sims. Idk why, it seemed to fit. Jyana rolled the want to join the education career so I made her a senior schoolteacher. It makes sense that a pretty progressive mother who lets her daughter wear pants and learn combat abilities is just minding her business running a small school for the swamp children.

For Howland, I made him a Marquess, since he’s technically the lord of the borderlands of the north, and Ned trusts him and owes him his life. I feel like he doesn’t really like leaving home, but he does go to the court at Winterfell to visit Ned sometimes.

[hollowwhisperings]

Benjen Theory #2: Benjen Felt Guilty

When Meera Reed told Bran the tale of "The Knight of the Laughing Tree", she was surprised that Bran didn't already know it: this wasn't just HER family's history, it was his too. Meera had thought Bran's Uncle Benjen would tell it, if not Lord Ned.

Why wouldn't Benjen tell his nieces and nephews about the Harrenhal Tourney in his visits and ravens? Perhaps, Benjen felt that in sharing ONE family story (and secret), he would unwittingly spill them ALL.

...and so get them (& their parents) killed... just like Brandon, just like Lyanna. in this theory, Benjen's role as Lyanna's 'Sidekick' and 'Playmate' is at the forefront. In this theory, Benjen is additionally Lyanna's 'Confidant'.

Speculations below the cut.

Lyanna, upon finally meeting this "Robert Baratheon" their brother Ned was so keen on getting her hitched to, finds Robert to be a gross version of their Big Brother Brandon but without the brotherly intent. Benjen nods along, annoyed at how loyal Ned is to this noisy Stormlander and how willingly he plays "sidekick" to him (both Lyanna and Benjen may or may not Hold A Grudge about Ned's being sent all the way to the Vale to foster, where he found a "new dad" and a "new brother").

Lyanna and Benjen joke that Robert is more in love with being Ned's brother "properly" than being married to Ned's sister. As Robert gets more over the top, Lyanna darkly tells Benjen that, if Robert's so in love with "his Northern Princess", he should marry Ned instead: Benjen doesn't quite get why Lyanna is suddenly and properly angry (she caught Robert groping women between waxing poetic on her) but plays along because he's a good little brother.

Between dodging Robert Baratheon, Lyanna and Benjen drag Ned into spending time with his "Real" family. It is during one of these outings that they meet young Howland Reed.

the crannogman is older than Lyanna and Benjen both but they latch onto him as "one of us" because of his shared status as "Other" (Lyanna's the Only Girl and a tomboy, Benjen's the Baby). Ned just enjoys having a fellow quiet person to be friends with (Robert baratheon gets VERY jealous of poor Howland, to his & the younger Starks' amusement and Ned's embarassment).

(obligatory "Jyana Reed is Ashara Dayne" headcanon feature: Lyanna bullies Howland into asking Ashara for a dance but, failing that, gets Brandon and then Ned to bring up the crannogman in THEIR dances with the Dornish woman. Brandon, obviously, shirks his wingman duties: Ned tries but trips over his own face because he is an Awkward Tortoise. after the dancing and Some Silly Harp Song, Lyanna weakly punches Benjen before dragging Howland over to Ashara herself - only to find that Ashara has found Howland on her own and needs no help in That department)

ditched by Howland, Lyanna and Benjen nonetheless conspire to "avenge his honour" and borrow bits of armour as they find it, using Benjen's "innocent baby face" to cover for Lyanna's Grand Plan.

Canon ensues.

Benjen and Ned, anxiously waiting for word of Lyanna's discovery or escape, are relieved at the prince going "idk, man, this place just kinda cursed yo". They are Less Relieved to find Lyanna dead pale back in their tent, freaking the heck out because the Prince had seemed a little TOO interested in Lyanna. She's relieved that the Prince and his lackeys did indeed cover for her but remains Paranoid, as do her brothers (except for Brandon, who is oblivious to it all).

Canon ensues.

As soon as Lyanna can escape the public eye, she goes to wrench the accursed crown from her hair - only for Ned to panic and say Lyanna will be expected to wear the crown at the feasting. The siblings are terrified: Rhaegar had promised not to tell on Lyanna and crowning her seemed like a threat. Benjen volunteered to find the Martell tent and beg for Princess Elia's forgiveness. Lyanna resolves to do it herself - the Starklings do, eventually, manage to convey their panicked horror to the lovely Elia. Thrice over. This is largely with the aid of Ashara Dayne and Howland Reed - but only Ned and Ashara are remembered as sharing company, the others being too short or sneaky to call attention to (Lyanna was avoiding EVERYONE out of fear of Robert, Rhaegar and Aerys).

back in Winterfell, Benjen wonders at how one man could make Lyanna cry in different ways all in a week's time. Lyanna agrees, still shaken by the "sad and beautiful musician", the "too interested, fickle trickster", the "tourney champion", the "treacherous husband".

time passes. a raven is sent out welcoming Prince Aegon to the royal family. Lyanna and Benjen relax, somewhat, assured that the royals have enough to busy themselves. the Starklings shift their thoughts to upcoming nupitals: Lady Catelyn, "a decent sort, poor Ned though, Brandon had best be good to her" and Lord Baratheon.

Lyanna is torn: she hates the betrothal, hates that Ned is older but gets to "stay at home", that Benjen gets to be a child still, that her father wants Southron marriages for his children and that his ambitions would leave his children separated "forever".

Lyanna rides out of Winterfell more than ever, sometimes with permission but sometimes without even telling Benjen. Ned resigns himself to "Lyanna's sulking". Benjen misses his sister already: he starts sneaking out "to try catch up with Lyanna while he still can".

it's on one of these rides, where Lyanna rode out ahead without word nor retinue (where Benjen had to use hounds and quick thinking to track her down, guards and a worried Ned in tow).

the brothers "have a bad feeling" about this particular outing, even Brandon expressing concern. he trusts Benjen's tracking and Ned's diplomacy to bring their sister home.

Lyanna cannot be brought home: she's been taken, by armed men on fast horses and lordly authority.

search parties, ravens, prayers to the heart tree.

news of Whitecloaks in the area. of the Prince himself.

Canon continues.

Benjen blames himself: for not being faster, for not insisting on tagging along, for not being a convincing enough knight for Howland's honour, for not taking Lyanna's unease about the new men in her life more seriously.

we know why Ned blames himself.

Brandon (rightfully) blames Rhaegar, as does Lord Rickard. Lord Rickard had been amongst the lords rallied to Harrenhal by "totally not Rhaegar" and the other concerned Lords Paramount.

canon ensues. Brandon is killed. Rickard is killed. Ned goes to war. Catelyn arrives in Winterfell, the proper lady Lyanna could never be. Lyanna is killed. Ned sends word that he's bringing home a Snow.

Benjen Knows, immediately. He also knows what happened to Princess Elia and her children, in the absence of Rhaegar or his men, at the glee of now-King Robert. Benjen passes the raven to Lady Catelyn and RUNS.

he's sick in the courtyard, runs to the stables only to Remember his sister is dead, flees to the Godswood. it's where Ned always goes.

Benjen stays at the Heartstree all day, alternately breaking down and spacing out. He prays, a bit, hoping for a way to "wake up" from a horrible nightmare.

Ned arrives home. He motions for Benjen's silence. Benjen goes, again, to the Godswood.

There have been crows, lately, staring at Benjen in his distress.

Benjen rides out for The Wall, giving his brother a week with them together before leaving only a note to explain his departure. Cryptic as Benjen tried to be, Ned burns the letter anyway.

Benjen spends his first weeks with the Night's Watch TERRIFIED of blind Maester Aemon, former Targaryen prince. Benjen volunteers himself constantly, solemnly learning every trick to tracking he wishes he'd known earlier.

eventually, Benjen is able to stand the thought of a Winterfell without the family he grew up with: he's a man now, bearded and everything. he is doting of Catelyn's children, paranoid about showing interest in "Ned's Bastard". sometimes he tries to get Ned to Just Tell Catelyn. mostly Benjen remembers Princess Elia, dead.

Benjen worries about Jon joining the Brothers: Maester Aemon, the memoru of Lyanna... he rides out on a long ranging, missing his nephew's arrival entirely.

[thelustybraavosimaid]

My husby got me a new fren, her name is Jyana (after Jyana Reed) 🥰🥰

[askmeaboutmyoctopustheory]

hey!! can i just ask what AD=JR means? in terms of asoiaf theories. i've never heard of it before i don't think

Ashara Dayne=Jyana Reed!! Ashara isn't dead, she's happily married and alive and smoking weed at Greywater Watch! Here's the lowdown:

We know that Ashara perhaps spent some time in Ned's tent at Harrenhal, we also know that Howland shared that tent. We're told that Ashara had an allegedly stillborn daughter who would have been conceived around that time. We're also told that Ashara allegedly killed herself from jumping off a tower at her family castle, but her body was never recovered.

We also know that Howland has a daughter who is about the same age as Robb and Jon. Howland was a bachelor at Harrenhal but he would have had to conceive Meera around the time he was traveling with Ned in the rebellion. While it's entirely possible to have had a quickie wedding and bedding like Ned and Cat, the Neck is out of the way and difficult to traverse. Howland likely wouldn't have been able to really slip away and get married and rejoin the party easily. Was Ashara's baby not in fact stillborn, but Meera Reed?

Howland's wife Jyana is listed in ASOS without a family name, she's just listed as "of the crannogmen". His daughter Meera is introduced in ACOK as his heir, which is a uniquely Dornish custom; the Daynes are Dornish(albeit "stony Dornish" who sometimes follow customs of the rest of the continent) and Ashara could have kept absolute primogeniture alive for her daughter.

That's the basics, here's a few more things that I also like to point out:

-Greywater Watch , the seat of House Reed is literally "Howl(and)'s moving castle". Howl in the novel catches falling stars. Ashara Dayne, of Starfall is symbolically a "falling star" caught by her own Howl.

-The Dornish retained the titles prince/princess when incorporated into the 7K and the crannogmen are closely associated with frogs, making Howland and Ashara the princess and the frog.

-One of the historical Daynes we know of is Dyanna, remarkably close to Jyana. Jyana could also be Jon&Lyanna, the secret that bound the survivors of the Tower of Joy.

-Jojen Reed has the unnaturally green eyes of those with greensight, but we're never told the color of his eyes prior to gaining the gift of the sight. Because he is usually portrayed with lighter hair, some fans of this theory speculate that he had purple eyes and light hair like the Dayne we know of close to his age, Edric.

In Deep Geek on youtube also has a great video hashing all this out but I don't think I missed anything in this post, still a great video! Don't know if you wanted this much of an explanation but clearly this is one theory I fully buy into lmao. I just love the idea of two very unlikely people finding love amongst immense tragedy.

[merricatblackwoods]

House Reed of Greywater Watch is a noble house from Greywater Watch, and one of the principal families in the north. They rule the crannogmen, small men who live in swamps and marshes in the Neck. Descendents of the First Men, they first swore their oaths of fealty to House Stark when they were Kings in the North, thousands of years ago. The current Lord is Howland Reed, who was one of the six companions that accompanied Eddard Stark to the Tower of Joy (where Lyanna Stark was being held), and the only one that survived the fight against three members of Aerys II’s Kingsguard. Since the end of Robert’s Rebellion, he has remained in the Neck. His heir is his only son, Jojen (b. 287AL) by his wife, Jyana of the crannogmen. They also have two older daughters, Alysanne (b. 283AL) and Meera (b. 284AL).

[yrnwoods]

Jyana's eyes flickered from person to person as they observed the people around them. House Reed would stay here as long as House Stark wanted them here, there weren’t may of the crannogmen here but the ones who did show up were strong in their loyalties. Jumping down from where she’d been sitting on the wall Jyana was almost ran into by a passerby. “Oh.” Some of the people liked to remind them that her people were smaller than most. But they were used to it. “It’s not polite to step on people.” They didn’t hold their tongue like some would like them to, some would be angry to even touch the ‘frog eaters’. @crownstarter​
