The North - Tumblr Posts
I broke my digital pen but something is something Nota:Â someone give me a reference for the clothes for Arya I would appreciate it
No but this is literally Slavic princess Sansa!!!
the daughters of winterfell + 🇰🇿:
lyanna stark — läýlim «läýa» rickardqyzy (daughter of rickard)
the name means «night» and «dark-haired beauty». läýlim is a variant of the name layla, which became very popular because of the tragic and forbidden love story «layla and majnun».
sansa stark — saltanat «saltusha» eddardqyzy (daughter of eddard)
in kazakh, the name saltanat means holiday, celebration, magnificence. in arabic/persian, it means «the king's wife» and monarchy, greatness, power, brilliant.
arya stark — aitolqyn «aika» eddardqyzy (daughter of eddard)
in kazakh, the word «ai» means «moon». the moon symbolises beauty, loyalty and eternity. «tolqyn» means «wave». just as the wave is unpredictable, so is the moon is beautiful; as the wave is endless, so is the moon is eternal.
Do you have any headcannons about any culture clashes Robert Baratheon would've faced in the vale? And do you think that made him even closer to Ned as they both felt like outsiders at the tender ages of 8&10?
Yes omfg I don’t know why they didn’t treat his stay like a reeducation camp bc To Me the lords of the vale would never let any "undesirable" behavior go unchecked. I guess Jon Arryn was like hey guys Autism runs in the Starks dw
The ppl of the Vale (to me) are like supper stuffy, haughty nobility who are obsessed with tradition and the “proper” ways of doing things. So when Ned (from the brusque, straightforward, severely unfrivolous north) and Robert (from the loud, crass, rough around the edges, also straightforward Stormlands) came up the mountain they were like who is this autistic child and his feral buddy.
They definitely felt alone like ugh I wish we got more of Ned reminiscing on his time in the Vale, he spent most of his youth there. I think they both felt really lonely with they both arrived. Ned was probably super closed off while Robert was trying to overcompensate. Causing problems and such in order to fill the storms end shaped void.
When they both realized they were equally lonely they probably attached at the hip immediately. Prime example of those friendships that are like high energy excitable risk taker outgoing impulsive chasing the adrenaline rush friend X anxiety disordered overthinking painfully shy 30 step plan for any possible scenario friend.
Once everyone got used to their outsider personalities the boys were just like...those two weird kids who we have begrudging affection for. Robert probably tried to convince Ned to climb down the side of the Eyrie with him multiple times and Ned had to be his impulse control multiple times. Cut to Lord Royce having a stroke in the background while Jon goes ahhh the youth
About Arya: I think the North is used to unladylike ladies like Mormonts, Lyanna herself, Meera, etc... I think they don't see her as odd.
I do firmly agree that Arya's somewhat wilder nature would have not been considered an unfamiliar madness in the North.
But she is still unusual.
Lyanna is only widely known to have been mad for horses. Not so very different from an accomplished rider like Margaery Tyrell. Lyanna must have had some kind of training with the jousting lance in order to be the Knight of the Laughing Tree, but not so much as for it to be a well known fact about her, and she is also not generally described as a tomboy. She would presumably have been more comfortable wearing dresses or washing her face or brushing her hair than Arya is. Those are the truly unusual things about Arya: the messiness and lack of care in her dress. Arya rejects almost all the feminine aspects of her social role, that is what has her standing out.
Even someone like Dacey Mormont is noted by Catelyn to be just as comfortable in a dress and dancing as she is fighting in chainmail.
I would caution against the idea that Northern women in general are somehow different from Southern ones. They have a bit more variety in some places that belong to the North, but as a rule, they would be very similar in their social roles. Meera as a crannogwoman and the Mormont ladies are still a noted exception to the "regular" Northern women, who are not known for taking up “masculine” activities like fighting (like Sybelle Glover or Donella Hornwood or Alys Karstark or Barbrey Ryswell or the Manderly girls or the former Lady Bolton).
feasts of flesh -> feast of skane
Some songs said the Skaggs were cannibals; supposedly their warriors ate the hearts and livers of the men they slew. In ancient days, the Skagosi had sailed to the nearby isle of Skane, seized its women, slaughtered its men, and ate them on a pebbled beach in a feast that lasted for a fortnight. Skane remained unpeopled to this day.Â
