answering this ask feels fittingly ironic considering i literally threw up earlier LMAOOO

Ethan could vividly remember the view from his bedroom window, small as it may have been, and held fond memories of his mother’s maid singing lullabies from Old Valyria every night before he fell asleep. He did not miss home often, glad to be rid of the awful place once and for all, but on the rare occasions he did it was always due to missing his lady mother.

BECCA MENTION! BECCA MENTION! Also, it's so disheartening to see that Ethan doesn't hold a fond attachment of the Golden Tooth (likely due to Leo and Ryam, if I’m not wrong?) but he rather misses a person, and UGHHHH THIS IS SO GOOD.

“He sipped at his cup of warm-honey milk slowly, wishing to savor every drop as though it were the last thing he’d ever drink. He had always struggled to fall asleep as a young boy, much to the chagrin of everyone around him, and had found comfort in an old recipe from his mother’s side of the family that had been passed down from generation to generation as a cure for sleeplessness.”

me and you ethan. Still struggle to sleep but hey

Also, that is SUCH A UNIQUE PIECE OF WORLD-BUILDING! I LOVE HOW YOU’VE FRAMED THIS. The Redwynes would likely be people to have this recipe (pls send some).

“The king drinks and eats and whores all day,” Ethan spat. “It’s a miracle his heart hasn’t given out.” He had little respect for the man who sat upon the iron throne, and often regarded Robert Baratheon as nothing more than a drunken fool. “Am I not allowed to worry for the realm?”

GET HIM ETHANNNNNNN YESSSS

"The realm, or Lady Arryn?"

OH???? JAIMEEEE

,

He did not want to follow in the footsteps of the men in his family who came before him, but sometimes he was worried that there was no escaping the generational curses that seemed to plague their house. If his grandfather’s anger turned his father cruel, and then his father’s anger turned his brother cruel… then where did that leave him?

My live reaction reading this:

OH my sweet boy, trapped in the cycles of endless rage… I get why he doesn't want to stay at the Golden Tooth I GET IT

I THINK THE APPLE’S ROTTEN RIGHT TO THE CORE!

Moral of the lesson: I TRIED

sorry this took me so long to answer! today was kind of crazy but this was such a fun ask and it brought such a smile to my face earlier! 🤍🫶

the honey milk has some personal lore to it that’s connected to someone from my childhood i rlly miss so it was special to include it <3

😭 ethan rlly is someone who’s stuck in the toxic cycles from the men in his family and the traumas of his childhood and it makes me emotional like ethan NOOO DONT LET THE POISON DRIP!!

OH MY GOSH YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES 🙂‍↕️ i think i might actually have the first one saved to my pinterest board for them 🫶🤍 the second gives me older!quinjon vibes in the best way!
