season two of the avatar live action not even out yet and they already pissing me off again, why are we already getting the painted lady and why did I see more fire bending in the trailer for a season that's about Aang learning earth bending and the introduction of Toph like can the production make it less obvious that they are fire nation and Zuko stans

two fears keeping me from watching the new avatar movie; one is me hating absolutely everything that came after the og show and being afraid it's just as bad as tlok, second as a Aang stan I'm afraid I'll be devastated and cry my eyes out judging by the edits I've seen of it

every jonrya & ceslu parallel (3/?) → hair mussing + nose nudges

He remembered suddenly how he used to muss Arya’s hair. His little stick of a sister. He wondered how she was faring. It made him a little sad to think that he might never muss her hair again.

GRRM’s favourite quote from the books is “stick them with the pointy end,” and he went out of his way to emphasise jon and arya’s relationship in ADWD. he clearly loves this dynamic a lot. yet people think this relationship will have no drama or conflict whatsoever (even though that’s not how george writes his dynamics) only because the most likely source of conflict would be incest angst and its resolution. and god forbid people have to consider something that goes against their baseless theories they have accepted as canon.

For those who deny that Jon and Arya carry meaningful romantic undertones and overtones, my question is: why does Martin place such extraordinary narrative weight on their bond above every single other relationship they have?

Genuinely. Why them? Both have other siblings and meaningful relationships, yet Martin consistently elevates this one connection as central to their arcs. That cannot reasonably be dismissed as incidental. Martin is a meticulous Hugo award-winning writer known for long-term foreshadowing and narrative payoffs. Sustained symbolic focus always serves a purpose in his work.

It also cannot just be about family love. Martin portrays sibling bonds clearly elsewhere through duty, protection, and shared history. Robb, Bran, Sansa, and Rickon all matter, yet none receive the same symbolic repetition, emotional prioritization, or narrative framing given to Jon and Arya. If the goal were only to show the strength of family, the emphasis would be broader and more equal. Instead, one relationship (Jon and Arya) is singled out again and again.

Bran does not think of Arya with the same intensity Jon does, and neither Bran nor Sansa centers one another in their inner lives the way Jon and Arya consistently do. The former is how Martin typically portrays family bonds. So why does he write Arya and Jon differently?

In literary analysis, patterns signal intent. Martin rarely repeats something this consistently without expectation of payoff. So once again I ask people who deny all romantic subtext: if there are truly no deeper undertones, what exactly is all this emphasis building toward? Why spend so much time and page space singling out this one dynamic, and writing it differently than all other Stark sibling povs?

what’s most bizarre to me is that we do know GRRM originally planned for them to be in love. they were on his mind in that way. so even the smallest romantic hint between them should raise at least a few eyebrows. it should make us wonder whether he might still be heading in that direction, especially in a fandom that loves theorising as much as this one. and yet, the undeniable romantic undertones that feel obvious to any unbiased reader just get brushed aside by asoiaf readers for… reasons.

JON SNOW and ARYA STARK parallels (1/?)

What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms … or the memory of a brother's smile?

Jon VIII, A Game of Thrones

Needle was Jon Snow's smile. He used to mess my hair and call me "little sister," she remembered, and suddenly there were tears in her eyes. The Many-Faced God can have the rest, she thought, but he can’t have this.

Arya II, A Feast for Crows

He thought of Arya, her hair as tangled as a bird's nest. I made him a warm cloak from the skins of the six whores who came with him to Winterfell … I want my bride back … I want my bride back … I want my bride back … “I think we had best change the plan,” Jon Snow said.

every jonrya & ceslu parallel (4/?)

You know nothing, Jon Snow. He thought of Arya, her hair as tangled as a bird's nest. I made him a warm cloak from the skins of the six whores who came with him to Winterfell... I want my bride back... I want my bride back... I want my bride back... "I think we had best change the plan," Jon Snow said.
