✧・゚: *✧・゚* ARRANGED MARRIAGE SENTENCE STARTERS
A small collection of starters connected to arranged marriages. Feel free to adapt them as needed!
“You are… very different of what I had expected.”
“I will run away before I ever marry the likes of you.”
“I know you hold no love for me, that we don’t even know each other in truth, and perhaps we will never come to love each other, but we can at least be friends.”
“Love can be built, too. And if you’re willing, I would like to try and learn to love you.”
“You are lovely. Even more beautiful than I was told.”
“What I heard of you before makes you no justice.”
“I must say I never expected to be wed to someone as stunning as you.”
“It is an odd thing, to be wed to someone you never met, to have a complete stranger suddenly become such a great part of your life.”
“I can’t marry him/her/them. I’m in love with another.”
“Please do not make me wed him/her/them!”
“Do not touch me.”
“I do not care what you want, we did not marry for love.”
“You’re mine now, and you will act suitably.”
“Who you loved before does not matter any longer. You are mine now, only mine.”
“Perhaps we should try to know each other better? We can start simple… do you like music?”
“We are only marrying because I need an heir.”
“You love someone else, so do I. Why don’t we make an agreement?”
“I will never love you.”
“Am I not what you expected?”
“I may not be as good looking as you hoped, but I shall never treat you unkindly.”
“You are to be my wife/husband, I want to help you feel more at home here. It shall be your home soon, after all.”
“There are talks of betrothal, even if they haven’t yet told me. I know they plan to wed me off to someone soon.”
“They want to marry me to him/her/them, but I don’t want that. I want you.”
“No need for this pretense. I know all your interest is my claim, not I.”
“I am to leave home and everything I have ever known to wed someone I have never met. It isn’t fair.”
“I marry you because I must. It is my duty to seal this alliance.”
“I will fulfill my duty, but I hold no love for you or your family.”
“We were wed as strangers, it’s true, but we needn’t continue being so.”
“Our marriage doesn’t have to be loveless just because it began as duty.”
“Do you believe in love at first sight? I feel like I have known and loved you for thousands of lives, even if we only met.”
“You will do as you are told and marry who we have picked for you.”
“You’ve been raised your entire life knowing this day would come. Do not begin to entertain illusions of marrying for love now.”
“I will never let them ship you off to a stranger as I was.”
“You are my child, and you will not be sold off to anyone like that. I won’t let them trade you for their alliance.”
“I wish I could undo it, child, but I cannot. This arrangement was made years ago.”
“We have been promised to each other for years, yet I could never meet him/her/them.”
“How odd that we were promised to each other for so long and only met on our wedding day.”
“What of it? It isn’t like I haven’t known for years that my fate would be to wed some stranger my family deemed suitable.”
“How can you be so calm about this? They are deciding who you spend your life with, and you won’t have any say on it!”
“Through them, we will finally join our bloodlines.”
“He/She is marrying my claim, not me.”
“Only princes/princesses and kings/queens are worthy of you. You will not be wed to someone lesser.”

◇ * HARRY HARDYNG / A SEASON EIGHT JOURNEY .
just as a small recap, harry’s show background will be the same as what was given in the books. harry is introduced as the heir to the vale during a tourney for the brotherhood of winged knights ( a kingsguard dedicated to protecting robert arryn ). this will all remain true, only without sansa / alayne being present as she is not in the vale at this time during the show. harry stays in the vale after winning a position on the kingsguard but asks to leave and help fight during the battle of the bastards as a sworn knight of the vale. he is one of the reinforcements that arrive to help win the battle. harry stays alongside yohn royce and the rest of the knights in winterfell aftwards. during this time, he gets to know the north and its people, soon becoming quite enamored with their lady of winterfell.
◇ * THE BATTLE OF WINTERFELL .
along with the knights of the vale, harry vows to fight in the great war and defend the living. harry is one of the many who help train those given a weapon. when not training, he makes certain to help in other areas as needed. harry is not quite as helpful but does what he can in hopes of being prepared. when the time for battle comes, he’s positioned on the left flank among the knights of the vale and the stark troops led by ser brienne of tarth. the wave of dead charging nearly shakes him, but harry refuses to falter in the face of death. if he is to die, let it be so the living may go on. once inside the walls of winterfell, harry continues to fight but struggles to keep the dead at bay and in turn is gravely injured. in a stroke of fortune, the battle is won shortly after his injury and the dawn comes.
◇ * RECOVERING FROM THE GREAT WAR .
due to the injury, harry is unable to ride south with the bannermen. instead, he’s instructed to remain in the north and given time to rest and heal before returning to the vale. in the coming weeks, he ignores every order from the maester to stay in bed. harry spends most of his time learning more about the north and its people… particularly their beautiful lady sansa. they’ve spoken before, but only in passing, nothing more than pleasantries expected between the highborns. he sees more than the hard exterior she presents and is eager to get beyond it. harry grows fond of the north, finally seeing the appeal of the land. he no longer sees a frozen wasteland. with time, harry is well enough to return home but decides to ride south with the starks to be present at lord tyrion’s trial.
◇ * SANSA STARK’S CORONATION .
with a new king and reign decided for the six kingdoms, harry travels back north to winterfell to witness the crowning of the new northern queen. her grace and strength stirs something inside him. he could love her someday if she would only allow him to. in a private moment meant for goodbye, the two share a kiss and harry could not bring himself to leave. ( shout out to @northdove this is basically what we’ve been talking about on discord lmao ) however, he knew their match would not be a welcome one. a queen in the north betrothed to a knight of the south? it would never work.
◇ * KING CONSORT OF THE NORTH .
harrold hardyng must give up his house and family name if he wishes to marry sansa stark. the north has suffered through enough and they will never abandon the stark name. it is a difficult decision to be made, but he does so in good faith. robin arryn is young, healthy and will surely marry and give birth to an heir in good time. with this knowledge, the young falcon marries the wolf queen of the north in a beautiful ceremony. harrold hardyng becomes harrold stark and the title of king consort is bestowed upon him. he has no animosity for his wife, harry knows sansa will be a great queen and does not want to interfere. the people love their queen and harry is eager and determined to win over the north in time.
i don’t know if it’s been done but how about the complete fuckboy who is so used to routine. he picks up who he wants, it’ll be easy and if he’s lucky they’ll put up a challenge but they end up in the alley or in the men’s room and he always has the courtesy of kissing them goodbye and never seeing them again. and it’s like every saturday, he’s at the bar and he spots a pretty girl and she looks the perfect amount of innocent (he’s not up for a challenge tonight) but theres a bit of banter going and eventually she ends up in the backseat of his Jeep and when they’re done he’s leans in with a grin, memorized almost like a catchphrase, “thanks for the great sex babe” to kiss her goodbye but she turns her cheek at the last minute, offers him a sweet smile “cute. that was great sex for you?” and just like that the fuck boy’s been fucked and she’s smoothing her skirt down and disappearing out of the backseat and he needs to find her again, needs to prove her wrong and it’s almost obsessive the way he needs her and suddenly hes just like one of the many girls that chase after him following a mediocre one night stand.
◇ * willas tyrell / 001.
@hrdyng. X.
THE LINEAGE OF FAMILIES HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMPORTANT, and this boy seems heir only in presumption of the fall of another name. He knows the story well. His own family are opportunists from a past, brought to the centre in the bringing down of another name. There’s no shame in it. One day, he thinks even theirs may be gone, though he does not know what will bring about it’s falling. ❝ I believe it is time we were acquainted. ❞
𝐃𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐄 , 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐍 before him . they wander down to his crippled leg but for a moment before bringing focus back to the man’s gaze . a polite smile , ❝ i do believe you are correct , lord willas . ❞ the young falcon easily goes along with the dull pleasantries . ❝ highgarden lives up to its reputation . truly , a beauty to behold . i see why you never leave . ❞
◇ * IND. HARROLD HARDYNG WRITING BLOG . / penned by tony.
harry can be a beguiling one , no doubt . soft sandy hair , deep blue eyes , and dimples when he smiles . and VERY GALLANT . when robert dies , harry the heir becomes lord harrold , defender of the vale and lord of the eyrie . jon arryn’s bannermen will never love our silly , shaking robert , but they will love their YOUNG FALCON .
Date a boy who kisses your shoulders when you spoon because he doesn’t think you’re awake yet
so, i’ve read a few anti-harry posts saying that he would be cruel to sansa and i just want to CUT THAT SHIT DOWN RIGHT NOW. while i agree that my show verse for him is nothing close to what will most likely happen in the books, i honestly believe that harry won’t ever be cruel to sansa. is he the westerosi version of a fuckboy? yes. is he an arrogant ass? yes. is he stubborn? yes. this is because harry is a young knight who has ( possibly unknowingly ) been given everything in his life. he was unfairly helped to win a tourney that would earn him a knighthood. winning tourneys are all he knows as l/ysa a/rryn kept the men of the v/ale out of the war. it’s almost comical how many people had to die in order for him to become heir to the v/ale, yet all he cares about is the fact that he is the heir. of course he’s an ass. lmao but !! his experience in the b/attle of the b/astards and the b/attle for w/interfell sobered him up quickly. h/arry h/ardyng is a fuckboy not a cruel and abusive man in this essay i will-
