House Stark - Blog Posts

rickon stark, "the black wolf" or "the wildling wolf" (which do you think he'll be known as?)

It's time for a redraw! I still love the starlings and my joy is see them smiling.

(Click for better quality)

canon divergence stark family. they all lived, they're all happy, no one hates no one (not saying WHO *cough* catelyn *cough*) and it's the year 305 AC (seven years later) so there's two more kids.

so:

robb, aged 21, bran aged 15 and rickon aged 10 (he's a large bulky kid)

jon snow, aged 21

sansa aged 18 and arya aged 16 (she had a growth spurt at 14)

edwyn, oc, aged 5/6. he's a twin

harwyn, oc, aged 5/6. he's edwyn's twin

ned aged 42, catelyn aged 41. cat MIGHT be pregnant in this again

working on a “they all lived” stark artwork set 7 years later. jon is not part of the night’s watch. it’s actually lowkey set in a canon divergence fic i’m writing. ANYWAY. there’s two more starks and a third one on the way cause… cat really likes having lots of kids and having sex with her husband

sO

this is jon, he’s 21 and look! he’s not miserable!

this is robb, he’s also 21

these are sansa and arya, they’re respectively 18 and 16 (arya had a growth spurt)

this is bran, aged 15 <3

this is rickon, aged 10 (he’s very stocky and tall for his age)

thIS is harwyn, an oc. he’s 5/6 years old. he’s a very happy kid with auburn hair and blue eyes like his mother

this is edwyn, harwyn’s brooding twin. he has the stark looks and hair colour but his mother’s hair texture and freckles.

and these are ned and catelyn, aged 42 and 41 respectively

She'd had so many names. Had she only dreamed Arya Stark?

Day 14: Identities - Names

Wolf's blood children

Some details:

someone has been leaving flowers at Ned Starks tomb

I’m sorry no one is allowed to hate on the actress cast as Alys Rivers she was the fucking she wolf in GLOW that woman is an ICON

I think the thing that’s really striking about the got books as opposed to the show is the way Martin never shies away from how physically damaged everyone is left. In the show Tyrion gets a badass scar but in the books he looses half his nose, Briennes teeth are broken and a chunk of her face is literally bitten out. Theon looks like an old man, his body is completely wrecked -

But they’re still not beyond hope. Their stories don’t finish with the horrible things that happen to them, their scars and deformities, they go on, and it’s not pretty and tragic and romantic like a story

And that’s the whole point.

Every single book in the series makes a point about how violence and war is romanticised in literature and history and Martin makes his character a living testament to the reality of war, the ugliness, the trauma, and that depth is just another thing that got glossed over in the show where people stay pretty and everything that made the books special is watered down.

Let your characters be ugly. Let them get hurt. Let them be scarred, and watch them get up anyway.

Day 4: House Stark

Arya, the lone wolf, still lived, but the wolves of the pack had been taken and slain and skinned.

Tysm for the support on the last post !!

Here’s a thing I made of what I imagined House Stark looked like when I was still reading the first book !

first and last

Every time someone tries to compliment the stark girls there always going to be an annoying ant putting them against each other in the comments, y'all do realize you got beef with characters that would literally be in middle school? You have beef with middle schoolers
