there's no book club??

another asoiaf detail that i am obsessed with is how married women aren't always referred to with their husbands' surnames. sometimes people will still use a woman's maiden surname for her, or use both surnames, and it can reflect what people think about the status of the woman's marriage. like cat is sometimes referred to as catelyn tully or catelyn tully stark instead of just catelyn stark by people who associate her with riverrun, or in her own internal monologue. sansa is never once referred to as sansa lannister because everyone knows it's a morally deplorable sham child marriage situation that's basically already annulled. and the most funny one of all: cersei is never, not once in all 5 books, referred to as cersei baratheon. everyone, literally everyone, knows that is NOT her name lmao

save me small pleasant interaction with stranger in public
