ASTORIA GREENGRASS : the rose discovers she is an instrument of war

@truetargaryen​

!!! LOOK , I was so intimidated to approach which is so silly but I was in awe and cannot believe what good work we are doing writing the TRUE STORY of how women rule the seven kingdoms . I love your Daenerys & you are absolutely the sweetest. Like you bring such good vibes and kindness wherever you go and I appreciate it greatly. I am really happy whenever we chat and i love our not even lowkey total girlfriends !! I am trash but we need to chat more !!! because would love to get to know you ooc as well and headcanon more :’)

JFC JO WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN. who would’ve thought you’d get me to the point of when people ask who I ship Sansa with my instinct is to say Rhaenys until I remember this is not canon, but it feels so fitting. I’ve told you this before during my slightly drunk sentimental days, but your writing is incredible, it is poetic and flows and challenges me to improve my writing !! I am a sucker for these two,  for how doomed they are in “ canon” but modern verse IS SO HAPPY AND FLUFF AND WOW !! i love headcanoning with you and our late night chats, take me to YOU. YOU ARE SO FUNNY AND THE SWEETEST AND ENCOURAGING. The original shrek the musical one-lady-show, wowow so talented. You make me laugh and I am really glad we began to write together !!! ily booo

ani, where can I even begin ? Your Astoria, is thorough and well-developed, it is clear how much passion and time and development has been put into her. You make her so . . . human. She has just as many flaws as good traits and so incredibly balanced. Even in your verses, you put so much development and maintain key pieces of her. Your writing is incredible, and it never feels forced. And as for you, as a person a HUGE THANK YOU. So much of our talks, ( our Sansa Stark appreciation sessions ) have helped me think more deeply and thoroughly on her characterization. You are incredibly knowledgable and insightful and I love to hear your opinions and talking to you in general, even if a little each day. You are just such a genuine person and goodness & strength radiates. so just, thank you for making me feel welcome back into the rp community and always being there to offer support, even when you yourself aren’t having the best weeks. It’s really appreciated. 

@landstrue

uM ISAAC HOW HAVE WE NOT TALKED ABOUT MUSICALS i’m invading your discord as I type this anyways, look it was right after I read six of crows and I came across your blog, it was Kaz that pulled me in --Point is, these losers oh man. Sansa and Kaz is a time and a half, and will be in denials for the next 20 years so ready to suffer through that with you, my dude. I just, look somehow you manage to joke with me over them but also keep it extremely in canon. You have such an understanding and balance i appreciate. And I would love to get the other muses as well !! Okay but also you’re super chill as a person, with valid life advice ( whY MARRY FOR LOVE WHEN YOU CAN MARRY FOR BROWNIES & MONEY ) lmao anyways um make me stop being an anxious trash can let’s chat more !!

             “ Astoria told me you were moping around up here. I thought I could at least bring you something to drink. ”

          “So... Redcliffe, huh?” He doesn’t know what to say, if he’s being really quite honest. The Undead aren’t things he’s particularly experienced in fighting with, but he supposes there’s a first time for everything. Darkspawn doesn’t an Undead make, he thinks, and sort of stiffly smirks. They made swift work of them, but the thought unnerves him. He doesn’t know why. (He does, but it’s more comfortable to pretend he doesn’t. Better than the thought of your childhood home and accompanying faces being wiped out by Undead.)

❝ 𝐒𝐎.  𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌?  𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐄𝐑𝐒? ❞  The North’s cold is bitter and unrelenting,  nor is the North any place for a girl that has promised her service to Lannisters.  Still,  she steps up beside this foreigner,  perhaps the only one without a STAKE in how the coming games play out,  and she asks the question that seems most likely to produce positive conversation.  

             ( If your idea of “positive conversation” is one where no one gets stabbed,  that is. )  

    “Everything’s fine,” she huffs, poking her head out the door to greet Astoria, careful not to open it wide enough for the woman to see the damage. “No need to INVADE MY SPACE.”

“Before I lived with Astoria, I was a wreck,” Ginny says bluntly. “I’m not saying she saved me, because that’s not fair to her — it was never her job to dig me out of the hole I’d made for myself. But she’s the sort of person who you just … the more time you’re around them, the better you feel. Even when things are hard.”

“There were nights when we were fine. We’d go out, we’d drink, and for the first time in a long time, I was drinking because I was out with a friend, not because I was trying not to dream or looking for a fight. She made me feel normal.” Ginny smiles, a bit ruefully. “And that was rare for me then. And we’d stay in, too. Talk. Cook together. She’s so clean.” Ginny laughs. “After a whole childhood of living with my brothers, it was novel not tripping over muddy boots and jackets and broomsticks.”

Her grin fades slightly.

“There were nights when it was bad, too. She’d come into my room, or I’d go into hers —  and understand that that’s not something I do,” Ginny adds seriously. “I’m not one to ask for help, and I’m stubborn as the day is long. Getting me to admit that I’m struggling is like pulling teeth. Pulling a dragon’s teeth, really. But she’s just the sort of person you can go to.”

It makes her oddly nervous, admitting this. The months she’d lived with Astoria had been strange in the sense that they’ve retained a sort of dreamlike quality in her memories. So much of the years after the war are a haze of grief and pain and anger, but those months, while not devoid of the haze, are nevertheless startlingly normal. It was the start of life going back to normal.
