what happens in renly's tent right after he dies is not quite as dramatic and sexy as jaime's bear pit jump, i would never claim that and am not trying to take away from that scene, but i do not think catbri should be diminished either. catelyn is not putting her own skin on the line in quite the same way, but it's just not true that jaime was the first to care about protecting brienne. she would most likely have died in renly's camp that day if cat hadn't been there too, if not killed by those first knights to rush in, eventually loras and others would have overwhelmed her with sheer numbers as she stood her ground, refusing to leave renly's body. catelyn did save her life that morning. she was the first person to save brienne's life! the second (and last) time cat swears on her honor as a stark onpage is in her attempt to bargain with walder frey for robb's life with jinglebell as hostage, but the first and only other time we see her do that is to attest to brienne's innocence and stannis's guilt wrt renly's death, to try to save brienne's life, to save the life of someone who was not her own child like robb but a woman she'd known for only days. when that oath was not quite enough, when robar royce agreed not to attack brienne and guard the tent entrance instead but would not defend her against his comrades, cat moved without hesistation to do that herself. just as jaime acted on instinct when told to "go get her" by vargo, so catelyn acted at once when told by robar to "get her away"; knocking out emmon cuy herself, directing brienne to leave with her right away, and ordering her own men to protect both herself and brienne by cutting down any who'd get in their way. that's the courage that made brienne swear her sword to catelyn afterward! is that not a level above a childhood crush on her liege lord bc he danced with her once and was polite to her face while mocking her behind her back?

Never really mattered,

As I know that it wasn't where I belonged,

The many times that traced these paved streets,

Walking through the dark nights on my own,

Leading me to the edge of the bridge,

Where I would close my eyes,

Wishing I was anywhere but here,

But there you were,

Holding out your hand to me,

Answering my every cry...

"Into this earth we lay a gift"

My protector, my guardian, my friend, my love 💚💚💚 he smiled everytime he saw me. A piece of my heart left today.

He was so sick yet he fought hard to stay with me.

Just a memory.......we had to take him to the vet last year around this time and he was not a fan. The vet explained because he was so old he might not make it when we sedate him. We braced for the worst.

The sedation lasted about 5mins and he was up and awake with a suture and needle hanging from his mouth as they were trying to sew up a hole that would not stop bleeding.

The vets were shocked and I just said no he is protecting me. They gave him more and they were able to finish but he was fighting it. He fought for another Christmas and I cherished every moment.

I miss him so very much. 💚 I want my boy back

We've had all types of adventures

I miss you so much 😘

I'll see you again my ❤️

because, you see, me? I would never ask one of my favorite writers when they’re updating. We should only be here to cheer you on and patiently wait for the next fic which we KNOW will be a banger. respect goes both ways! remember that when you’re sending messages to your fav writers about fic updates! or better yet, just don’t!! bc high chance is not everyone will be as nice as simpjaes when it comes to a response, for example, I would have just fucking blocked you🤣

🖤 attaching the thing u sent me that describes what i would have liked to have said this morning when i answered that.
