Lord of Winterfell

When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.

[lord-eddard-stark]

Hello,

This blog is only for Lord Eddard of House Stark, Lord of Winterfell, Warden of the North, Hand of the King, Protector of the Realm, and Lord Regent. I won't post anything else. The main is @flyingkoalaandsloths

I already have hundreds of posts queued and will reblog many more. I usually go into one blog and like/queue everything Ned-related. You might get serial likes but the reblogs will be sporadical since I randomize the queue.

Everything is tagged. Also, there might be some nudity, they will be tagged "not sfw".

This blog is book-focused but since Season 1 was mostly book-accurate I might also reblog some GOT.

The profile pic is by Amok and the header is by Mariusz Gandzel.

Bran saw his father’s face change, saw the other men exchange glances. He loved Jon with all his heart at that moment. Even at seven, Bran understood what his brother had done. The count had come right only because Jon had omitted himself. He had included the girls, included even Rickon, the baby, but not the bastard who bore the surname Snow, the name that custom decreed be given to all those in the north unlucky enough to be born with no name of their own.

goddd the way arya, sansa, and jon all believe that they have nothing left to live for after ned’s death:

Ned telling Cat that Sansa is only 11 when she talks about the possibility of her being married to Joffrey but the day before he told her that 3 year old Rickon had to man up… I know she was sick of his ass 😭

It's poetic that Ned stark chose to be dishonored to save Lyanna' son and then Lyanna' son dishonored himself as a kingslayer, oathbreaker for Ned's daughters.

What if Ned’s mother was ginger.

A, to possibly genetically explain 4/5 of the starklings being ginger.

B, to make Ned even sadder than he already is by making him see her in Sansa same as seeing Lyanna in Arya. Because obviously that man needs to be even sadder.

Ned comforting Robert after witnessing the deaths of Steffon and Cassana Baratheon 💔

🎨 Art by @aydahare / aydahare on Twitter, commissioned by me. This piece is intended to be a companion piece to my previous commission of Robert comforting Ned, and Ayan once again made my vision come to life so beautifully. I adore how this one turned out, and how both artworks complement and contrast each other 💙

We know in canon that both Robert and Stannis witnessed their parents’ ship smash against the rocks and sink on Shipbreaker Bay. We don’t know if Ned was at Storm’s End as well, so this is entirely based on my own headcanon that he was. And considering how close he and Robert were at that time, it wouldn’t surprise me if he really was there.

I also wanted to show a softer, more vulnerable side to Robert which is seldom seen in fanarts of him. A side that he would really only show to Ned, his closest and dearest friend. I hope y’all love it as much as I do! ❤️

One of my favorite things to think about nedcat is probably how embarrassed 20 year old Ned was when he realized how badly he wanted his wife lol

he was embarrassed, I agree with that, id like to think that it hits him out of nowhere and suddenly he doesn’t know where to look or what to do with himself after. he’s 20, still figuring out how to be a husband, and then all at once he realizes just how much he wants her, and it completely throws him off.

but I think what makes it feel more like him is that it doesn’t stay at all that simple.

because once that initial embarrassment settles, even while it’s still there, it starts to come with other thoughts. it’s not just “I want my wife,” it becomes “how can I want her like this when I’ve already given her reasons to be hurt by me?” and that’s where the guilt starts to creep in.

so the feeling doesn’t go away. if anything it gets stronger, but it’s not light anymore. he’s aware that the closeness he suddenly wants is something he hasn’t really made easy for her, not with everything he’s kept from her, not with the way their marriage began.

and that’s where it turns a little more sorrowful. laced with thatrealization he keeps to himself. he’s embarrassed, yes, but also aware that his feelings are growing in a marriage he’s already marked with hurt, and he can’t separate the two.

ned and the starklings

[bloodydamnreaperofmars]

Rereading some AGOT chapters, came across this in a Ned chapter and had to stare at the wall in silence for a while:

The streets of King's Landing were dark and deserted. The rain had driven everyone under their roofs. It beat down on Ned's head, warm as blood and relentless as old guilts.

Can someone get this guy a therapist please he worries me
