About Petyr.
The truth is: I just can’t despise Littlefinger. He’ll never be one of my fav, but the world has been so mean to him and his (almost)love story with Catelyn just makes me wanna hug him.
And he reminds me a bit of Severus Snape, btw.
save me, brother
A Rattleshirt appreciation post.
Me as Dacey Mormont (A song of Ice and Fire by G. R. R. Martin)

Dacey Mormont looked up at the sky. “I would sooner have water raining down on me than arrows.”
Catelyn smiled despite herself. “You are braver than I am, I fear. Are all your Bear Island women such warriors?”
“She-bears, aye,” said Lady Maege. “We have needed to be. In olden days the ironmen would come raiding in their longboats, or wildlings from the Frozen Shore. The men would be off fishing, like as not. The wives they left behind had to defend themselves, or else be carried off.”
“There’s a carving on our gate,” said Dacey. “A woman in a bearskin, with a child in one arm suckling at her breast. In the other hand she holds a battleaxe. She’s no proper lady, that one, but I always loved her.”

As one of Robb’s battle companions Dacey had chosen to remain by his side.

Some replies to Cat-haters arguments (part 01)
One of my favourite characters in A Song of Ice and Fire is Catelyn Tully.
I do cosplay her too, gh.
Sadly, I found out that her fans are few and Cat-haters are so much more. That wouldn’t be a problem, if their hate-reasons were … well, real reasons But instead of saying “I just don’t like her” (wich would be a GREAT reason, to me), they assault poor Cat with some really inconsistent arguments. Below, I’ll list the ones I came to hear more often.
She’s the cause of EVERYTHING! Since she kidnapped Tyrion, everything went wrong!
There’s just one thing that’s wrong: your argument. Catelyn captured Tyrion, ok. It was wreckless and stupid, ok. But that’s not the beginning of “EVERYTHING”. When she did it, Robert Baratheon was still the king, and he told Ned: “Hey my friend, your wife is being silly. Tell her to be not and I ain’t complain. I don’t want the war beacuse it’s expensive and I need to go piss. Ok? Ahr ahr.” So it comes to evidence that, if Robert Baratheon wasn’t murdered, nothing bad - well not that bad - would have happened. Just some little war-thing between Starks and Lannisters. That’s all.
She’s so mean to my poor Jon (Snow)!
This is the one I hate the most. Teel me how you’ll feel when your husband pops out at home with another child and tells you “Hey, this is my son! Not yours, just mine. Take care of him.” Tell me. If you’ll love both your husband and the child without any problem, I will shake your hand with sincerely admiration.
She’s stupid.
Oh well. Whatever, I don’t even know where to start to reply to this one. I guess that being an honorable person is just like being stupid, in Westeros. We’ve seen many examples of “stupid people” ending in awful ways, so far. Yes my dear Ned, I’m talking about you too </3 sigh.
[part 02 coming soon]
- Which house are you from? I can’t decide. I imagine myself as the daughter of a Stark Father & an Arryn Mother
- Which of the 5 kings (Robb, Renly, Joffrey, Balon, Stannis) do you fight for? Stannis on the Iron Throne - but I would prefer no king at all. I’m a great fan of the pre-Targaryen era, when every Region had its own King & Queen.
- Favorite Character? Catelyn Tully/Brynden Tully/Beric Dondarrion/Shaggydog <3
- Favorite Book? A Storm of Swords
- North, South or across the Narrow Sea? North
- Who do you think will sit on the Iron Throne? Unfortunately, Daenerys.
