_{During one of my many ASOIAF rereads, I noticed that the North is about to have a lot of ruling ladies — as soon as the current political sh*tstorm is over with and some sort of order has been established, that is.}

• _{HOUSE CASSEL: We don’t know if the Cassels have lands or a castle, but Beth Cassel is the only remaining Cassel still alive.}
• _{HOUSE CERWYN: After the death of her brother, Jonelle Cerwyn became the new Lady of Cerwyn.}
• _{HOUSE DUSTIN: Currently ruled by the badass Lady Barbrey Dustin.}
• _{HOUSE FLINT OF WIDOW’S WATCH: Currently ruled by Lady Lyessa Flint.}
• _{HOUSE HORNWOOD: The succession of Hornwood is a bit tricky ( thanks, Ramsay ), but there are two viable candidates. Larence Snow, the bastard son of the late Lord Halys Hornwood, and Berena Hornwood, his sister and the wife of Leobald Tallhart.}
  
• _{HOUSE KARSTARK: As Harrion’s whereabouts are unknown, Alys Karstark is currently either the lady or heir of Karhold.}
• _{HOUSE MANDERLY: As the heir of White Harbor Wylis Manderly has no sons, if he doesn’t father one, eventually the rule of White Harbor would pass to his eldest daughter Wynafryd Manderly.}
  
• _{HOUSE MORMONT: I mean… do I even need to mention this one? Current ruler is Maege Mormont, and her heir is Alysane Mormont.}
• _{HOUSE POOLE: We don’t know if the Pooles have lands or a castle, but Jeyne Poole is the only remaining Poole still alive.}
  
• _{HOUSE REED: Given that Jojen is pretty certain he will die soon ( and I believe him ), the rule of the Neck will eventually pass to Meera Reed.}
• _{HOUSE STARK: Though Bran and Rickon are still alive, and I firmly believe they will remain that way, it’s very likely that Sansa Stark might rule in Bran or Rickon’s name.}
• _{HOUSE TALLHART: After the deaths of her father, Helman, and elder brother, Benfred, Eddara Tallhart becomes the Lady of Torrhen’s Square.}

_{It all has a very post-Dance of the Dragons feel to it. To quote Fire and Blood Vol. 1:}

_{“So many lords, both great and small, had perished during the Dance of the Dragons that the Citadel rightly names this time the Winter of the Widows. Never before or since in the history of the Seven Kingdoms have so many women wielded so much power, ruling in the place of their slain husbands, brothers, and fathers, for sons in swaddling clothes or still on the teat. Many of their stories have been collected in Archmaester Abelon’s mammoth When Women Ruled: Ladies of the Aftermath.”}

_{“Winter of the Widows.” Wow. I see you, George. I see you.}

Reblog to give prev a fucking break holy shit y’all

you’ve been a prisoner of war since you were ten years old but the prodigal son is finally returning and this time you have a battle plan. you’ve been to war. you’re the trueborn son of a lord and your only living sibling is your older sister (notably a woman), so there’s no threat to your succession. basically? you have this lord of the seven kingdoms shit in the bag. there’s a red comet in the sky and that comet is YOU, baby! got your nice doublet on and everything. everything’s coming up theon everything’s coming up greyjoy this time for me. Unfortunately your dad is immediately pissed at you he says theon you look gay as fuck. theon i bet that necklace wasn’t even looted. theon did NED STARK turn you GAY during your CAREFREE YEARS LIVING IT UP AS A CHILD PRISONER OF WAR. Like omg i JUST got here. and to make matters worse while you were away everybody became a feminist so you aren’t even heir to pyke anymore you’re just somebody’s flop gay son. you’re just somebody’s flop gay son on a rock in the ocean foreverrr

i dreamed of you

Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers

Jaime speaks so fucking much about Brienne's stubbornness that I gotta think that's his favorite thing about her, WHICH IS INSANE, like imagine someone loving you enough to enjoy you NEVER LISTENING to anyone else, including themselves. I could never do this, the only stubbornness I accept is my own, but that's so beautiful actually.

Happy Wednesday! My account has been shadowbanned

The cousin of "he would not say that:" he would not keep saying that. It was a one off funny line for one particular situation. Every memorable line does not need to become a running gag.

okay so I'm having a debate with my flatmates

are these all different things and if so what do you call them
