a nice oak tree

Far across the city, a bell began to toll.

Sansa felt as though she were in a dream. “Joffrey is dead,” she told the trees, to see if that would wake her.

He had not been dead when she left the throne room. He had been on his knees, though, clawing at his throat, tearing at his own skin as he fought to breathe. The sight of it had been too terrible to watch, and she had turned and fled, sobbing. Lady Tanda had been fleeing as well. “You have a good heart, my lady,” she said to Sansa. “Not every maid would weep so for a man who set her aside and wed her to a dwarf.”

This week’s Jewish character of the week is: Ned Stark

he  outwitted  TYWIN FREAKING LANNISTER  at  sixteen.  he  captured  the  Kingslayer  and  refused  one  on  one  combat  with  him,  thus  deframing  his  own  honour  and  pride,  because  he  knew  better.  he’s  smart  and  calculated. 

and  he  had  the  WOLF BLOOD.  he  was  shown  to  have  a  temper,  easily  provoked  by  Joffrey.  not  to  mention  his  outburst  after  hearing  Ned  died  or  what  he  plans  to  do  in  KL. 

it  was  heavily  implied  he  could  warg  &  had  such  a  great  relationship  with  Grey  Wind.  ignoring  GW  was  a  big  point  that  led  to  his  death. 

he  loved  his  family,  and  Theon.  he  played  Knights  for  Sansa,  in  Bran’s  words  he  completely  changed  to  become  this  persona  of  THE LORD  where  he  was  blunt  af  with  Tyrion. 

he  didn’t  marry  Jeyne  out  of  hormones  and  angsty  teen  love.  most  people  think  it  was  for  honour.  he  didn’t  want  to  leave  Jeyne  to  suffer  a  bad  reputation,  that  is  a  huge  aspect  of  it.  but  as  i’ve  shown,  Robb  didn’t  put  honour  above  the  mission.  i  think  it  was  because  of  Jon  as  well.  it  was  because  he  took  her  maidenhood  and  didn’t  want  the  chance  of  fathering  a  bastard  who’d  be  treated  like  shit,  because  he  had  a  bastard  brother  he  loved  and  saw  how  that  goes.

Robb  was  loyal  to  a  fault,  and  he  had  honour,  of  course  he  did,  being  taught  by  Ned.  but  he  is  so  much  more. 

you  have  to  remember  though  that  PEOPLE WERE TERRIFIED OF ROBB STARK.  it’s  written  all  across  any  chapters  in  the  Riverlands,  especially  Arya’s.  it  wasn’t  just  the  fact  he  was  looking  like  he  might  win,  it  was  a  primal  fear.  they  created  such  mythos  around  him. 

and  the  show  can’t  even  remember  he  was  ever  King.
