.I'll be there like Moonlight.

I really love the idea that Ned thinks he’s a gentle parent but like….by northern standards. He’ll be like ah I remember what this was like I can’t be as harsh as my father…..boy hostage fetch my sword I have decided you children will watch me perform a beheading instead of the traditional bloodeagle. I know know I’m getting soft in my old age (27)

One time at a feast he publicly tells Sansa and Arya that as young ladies if they’re ever stranded in the arctic (the front yard in february) it’s okay with him if they choose a swift death by blade instead of a slow one from a combination of the elements and a polar bear and Roose is like see this is what you get for voting in a fucking liberal. Maege pulls Ned aside and she’s like listen I know we’re both trying this new age parenting thing but if being mauled by bears is good enough for my girls it’s good enough for yours
