Fanon Robb Stark: Love obsessed cinnamon roll who needs a hug! Canât keep his dick in his pants and lost the North. Doesnât deserve to be king and lost the war because he got married. Boring good guy obsessed with honor and love. The only people who remember him are his fans or people ready to say he was a bad king.
Canon Robb Stark: The entire realm was literally pissed scared of Robb Stark. He was the young Lord turned King who was destroying, straight up destroying Tywin Lannister. Tywin Lannister! The man who got a song named after him for being a fucking nightmare and Robb Stark was embarrassing him at every turn. He captured the King Slayer, one of the deadliest swordsmen in the series, destroyed the west, saved the Riverlands, and basically became a legend overnight. Robb Stark with his motherâs help was leading and winning a war on his own skill. Seriously, he wasnât called âThe Young Wolfâ as a cute play on words since he was a Stark. They called him that cause they thought he could turn into a fucking Wolf! He was also a Warg, the only one besides Bran who even understood what the Wolf dreams meant. It took being betrayed by his best friend, 3 sworn house armies, and Tywin organizationing the Red Wedding, which is the equivalency to burning a church in our time, to defeat him and still to this day GRRM, the creator of ASOIAF/GOT says that he had to kill off Robb or he wouldâve been unstoppable.
I think this fandom seriously forgets how motherfucking badass this character was and how it took literally the worst mother fucking luck a king in the north can motherfucking have to fucking defeat him. Seriously the motherfucker was fighting in a war with fucking four other KINGS! Fucking Four motherfuckers Kings! Whoâs to say who couldâve done better?! Fuck of Robb was still alive fucking the Lannisters would be taking it in the ass right now! Daenerys?! Do you really think how that meeting wouldâve been the same if he was there
Dany: The last King in the North was Torrhen Stark.
Robb: Aye he was, until your ancestor Aegon The conqueror burned thousands alive in the fields of fireâŠDo you wish to repeat history if I do not kneel?
Dany: Under a Targaryen the realm has always had peace.
Robb: Has it? The Faith Militant Uprising, The Dance of Dragons, Blackfyre Rebellion, War of the Ninepenny Kings, and of course Robertâs Rebellion, the war your father and brother started by killing my grandfather, uncle, and kidnapping my aunt.
Dany: Donât judge a daughter for her familyâs sins
Robb: But yet you want their powerâŠHow does that work? Wanting the Targaryenâs legacy but not their sins?
Robb: I came for Dragonglass, but I see I must find it elsewhere.
Dany: I havenât given you permission to leave yet.
Robb: Can you fight more than one war at once, Daenerys? Iâve done it before and itâs not easy. Youâre fighting the Lions, donât make the Wolves a threat too. If you truly want to prove you are not your father, let us have have the dragonglass. In exchange, Iâll aid you in securing the Irone Throne.
Dany: You would withhold the North from me?
Robb: And the Vale and Trident.
Dany: Under what grounds?
Robb: under the grounds that it is my familyâs land and they named me their king. If you are a Queen because your family held the crown, then remember so was mine. If you truly mean to make the realm better then understand my people know no king but the king In The North. They will fight the dragons till their last breath. Then what will you have? Ashes. If you burn Kingâs landing, the Trident, and the North, then invade it with your army of rapists, youâll only be known as the Mad Queen of the Ashes.
Dany:âŠ.So What do you purpose?
Robb: Cersei will never surrender, not even if the dead, dragons, and wolves are at her door. Her arrogance made her start a war, even when I tried to sue for peace. She ignored it.
Tyrion: You see no point in even trying?
Robb: What do you think your sister will do with the choice of kneel or die?
Tyrion:âŠSheâll fight till the bitter end and take as many lives with her.
Robb: Right. You may not believe my stories of dead men, but you at least believe in a form of peace. We can form an alliance. You made one with The Greyjoys, you can make one with me.
Robb: The Ironborn would never work with you unless they would gain something. Let me rule over the North, Trident, and Vale. The rest of the realm will be yours. We will avenge our families that have suffered under the Lannisters and work together to stop the dead.
Dany: I still do not believe in stories of dead men, Robb Stark.
Robb: Aye, and I hadnât believed in the return of dragons. The dead will come, yet the Lions are here now. One war at a timeâŠQueen Daenerys.
Dany:âŠVery wellâŠKing Robb.
I only say that the meeting would have gone differently because Robb was raised and trained in history and how to negotiate and how to deal with Egos. I love Jon and his amazing Ass to death, but Ned didnât raise him to be a Lord and definitely not a king. Jon was at the Wall during the war of the five Kings and was out of touch. Even Sansa and Tyrion had to tell Jon that he doesnât understand Cersei like they do and he doesnât. At the Wall there is barley politics, just survival. You can argue that the war for Dawn is different, but it takes someone to know how to deal with these people and their ego. Thatâs why Theories of Political Jon even exist. Going beyond the Wall wasnât just to prove the army of the dead exist to Cersei, but to Dany too. Robb would believe Jon by default because he trusts and loves his brother. Robb would also understand just from the war of the five Kings that Cersei will never bend the knee, so it would be easier to convince Daenerys to fight with him like it was for Renly.
Build an all star North: Robb as King, Jon as a knight commander of the army, and Sansa as hand of the King.
My whole Point is that some people in this fandom need to start giving King Robb Stark some credit! He was a fucking Badass and when the creator of the damn series itself says he wouldâve been unstoppable you listen.
Edit: Robb was the only one of the 5 Kings in the war who didnât name himself King. His people did! The first king in 300 years! It wasnât just the North either like most would think.
The North and the TRIDENT declared him their King! Two fucking continents declared a teenager King because he was that fucking badass! Seriously!
Tysonâs line: âAny man who must call himself King is no king at all.â
Stannis, Renly, Balon, Joffrey, all those fucks had to defend or fight for their claim. Robb Stark was given the crown. Two separate continents gave a teenager their crown! And he fucking wrecked everyone. Stannis and Tywin even had to respect him even though they wanted him gone. Fucking Renly wanted to work with him cus while his people loved him, Robbâs fucking people worshiped him. Itâs been 5 seasons, 3 books and this mother fucker is still relevant in the fans eyes! Like fuck! Fuck You if you only remember as the tragic hero, he was more than just that.
Jon: Saw him as his best friend and hero. In the books and show he even claimed Robb was his better. Which maybe it was hero worship or maybe it was fucking true! Jon wasnât a one man army in the books and in the show Robb didnât have his guards. Fucker just want into war on his fucking own. Mind you that means he found a way to capture Jaime on his own too. Jon and Robb were close as fuck and the only reason book Jon didnât join Robb was cause he thought he wouldâve been killed for desertion. Jon still cries for Robb.
Sansa: Literally the poor girl took strength in Robbâs memory. It was the only comforting thing she could think about half the time. Her older brother, her hero, coming to fucking murder the Lannisters. Seriously from the day her father died till the day Robb died, he was all she thought about. She looked up to him, loved him. The fucker was her hero. She looked Joffrey right in the eyes and said âMy brother will storm this fucking city and kill you all.â She always said she has to be strong like Robb.
Arya: She was just like Sansa. She looked at Robb like a hero. You show fans donât know, but Arya loved Robb just as much as Jon. She thought about him daily and prayed for him to kill the Lannisters.
Bran: The boy wanted to go to war with Robb! Funny thing is while Bran wasnât as good with the bow and arrow like Arya, he was better at swords. Bran wanted to warg into Summer and fight side by side with his brother. Just like his sisters he wanted to be strong like Robb.
Rickon: Robb was like a parent to him when Ned and Cat left. He took care of the kid, played with him. As he did with Bran .
The North and Trident: Those people books later still talk about him being their king and damning the oath breakers. Even the Karstarks still respect him. Seriously read the fucking books.
We know no king but the King in the North whoâs name is Stark. King Robb Stark. The Young Wolf! King in the North and the Trident! Fuck the Oath breakers!
