Arya's three names in ACOK

I'm doing a very slow reread of ASOIAF and now I've just reached Arya's Harrenhall arc in ACOK. From what I understand, a lot of people in the fandom criticize Arya for saying the names of "irrelevant" characters instead of aiming for bigger fish like Gregor or Cersei or whoever else. I never understood that complain. In fact, I think the names she chose are rather reasonable considering the situation she was in.

We need to remember that Arya wasn't in a position to think long-term: she was in a very dangerous place, with very dangerous people and very few allies. As such, when Jaqen comes to her and proposes something so drastic as killing three names but tells her to not think for too long, it's logical for her to think of names that would offer a small source of comfort.

I mean, this paragraph explains it all fairly well:

"The men all roared, none louder than Chiswyck himself, who laughed so hard at his own story that snot dribbled from his nose down into his scraggy grey beard. Arya stood in the shadows of the stairwell and watched him. She crept back down to the cellars without saying a word. When Weese found that she hadn’t asked about the clothes, he yanked down her breeches and caned her until blood ran down her thighs, but Arya closed her eyes and thought of all the sayings Syrio had taught her, so she scarcely felt it."

This is directly after Chiswyck confesses to the gang rape of Layna, a 13 year old girl who made the mistake of *check's notes* serving beer to a bunch of grown men that were sexually harassing her and Weese physically abused her to the point of drawing blood from her tights. You know, a place extremely dangerous to get bleedings from, due to the amount of thick veins in it?

Arya was in a situation where she:

1) Heard a man confess to a horrible crime against a woman, when Arya herself advocates for women's rights;

"The woman is important too!"

2) Suffered physical and emotional abuse at the hands of a second man;

3) Had little to no chance to actually plan out her medium- and long term life due to being on the run, away from her family, in a dangerous place filled with dangerous people, and generally unsafe.

Things were so bad for Arya that thinking about a bigger name didn't even occur to her at first. And it's understandable: getting rid of a large piece on the board was a gamble Arya couldn't afford to make. She couldn't guarantee that the death of Cersei, Joffrey, Gregor or other names would make her situation in Harrenhall better. She had to focus on surviving the day-to-day life of Weasel/Nan and finding whatever ways she could to make said life a little easier.

And this ties in my biggest takeaway from this complain: the fandom needs to pay closer attention to the context in which the characters are introduced in order to understand why they make such decisions. When reading a POV, it's very important to understand that the reader is not a part of this world. We have access to all the information we want about it, but the characters inside of the book have only the resources given to them by GRRM. And Arya did a good job with the resources she was given and the decisions she had to make.

LAUREN ON THE DASH??!! MISSED YOUU! also LOVING the buggy representation in your theme!! (are you a mihawk/croc/buggy gal????)

if i may be so bold as to beg for a OP match up 😆 leo sun, gemini rising, capricorn moon! my love language is gift giving, and my aesthetic is... uh cute casual? fun tees and high waisted shorts! (i hope this is detailed enough, i can't remember the last couple of dot points hehe 😅)

also which ep of OP are you up to!! im thinking of picking it back up 🥰🥰

WWWWEEEESEEEEEEEE first and foremost, and ONLY FOR YOU, I gift you the match up of my husband, my darling, Shanks.

I match you with Shanks because, truly, Leese, we are one and the same and if I'm self-shipping with Shanks, then it only makes sense that he's perfect for you, too.

Shanks is the laid back wanderer that your people pleasing, anxious heart desires and needs. He's the balance, the rock that you lean on. He's the warm smile on a winters day and the cool drink of water in the boiling sun that keeps you sane.

Shanks has the kind of love that is fulfilling but not overwhelming; he knows how to give you space, how to let you breathe and be independent, but is always by your side the moment that life feels too hard and you just need someone to take your hand and calm you down or guide you through the tough moments. He is the steadiness of the tides–he's predictable, steadfast, the calm in the storm that keeps you grounded.

And Shanks LOVES a good bit of fun; he's the goofy dad at parties, the lopsided smile and hearty laugh. Cute casual is his perfect aesthetic taste. Nothing fancy, nothing wild. He loves a good time and a pretty girl by his side–his girl, his little ride or die.

Shanks is thoughtful and his love language is more than likely acts of service, which means your love language of gift giving goes hand-in-hand. He wants to do things for you, he wants to make you happy, make you laugh, make your day easier and brighter. And if you reward him with something that made you think of him, it will make him weak in the knees. To be thought of by someone he adores would make his life worthwhile.

and YES to Mihawk, Croc, and Buggy for me. I'm currently a whore for basically any One Piece character, but I'm a Cross Guild groupie 100%.

I just hit episode 756 of the anime so I'm going strong– I just made it to Zou and I'm eating up every One Piece morsel I can get lolol you should absolutely pick it back up and come to my DMs and gush with me 🥰

The Washington DC Metro System designed by architect Harry Weese

“Harry Weese, a prolific Chicago architect who had studied at Cranbrook with Eliel Saarinen, had designed the first of the modern Columbus schools in 1957. Years later, he began work on the Washington, DC, Metro system, finally completed in 1976 — a network of stations deemed by critic Herbert Muschamp to be among the greatest public works of the twentieth century.”
