hey (with the intention of maybe being active on this blog again after 2 years)

HE   IS   NO   LONGER   A   SWADDLED   BABE,     nursing from his mother’s breast.     but he is just a boy.     his eyes do not gleam with naive adolescence,     like the early morning sun that reflected off the wake of the river from your youth.     now they do not dance with wonder,   they are overcast with destruction and all knowing,   a reminder that you could not shield him from the horrors of this world.     but he is just a boy.     he possesses wisdom from the divine ;     a carcass of the child you had borne,   now a vessel for the old gods and new.     a divine and holy creature,   no longer bound by the tethers of this world.     but he is just a boy !

SOMETHING   ABOUT   HIS   GAZE   HAUNTS   HER.     this is not the sleeping child she had left in winterfell,   but he is not quite a man either.     fingers ache with the memory of the grasp of his sticky palms,   and the warm,   gentle,   sleeping breath that had filled the crook of her neck.          “   bran -   ”          his name feels thick leaving her tongue,   choking on the weight it carries.     he was your special boy.     for every time she had spoken it out loud since she rode from the gates of winterfell,   it had been in mourning.     in past tense,   in fear,   in memory,   in hope,   and now she doesn’t know how to say it without feeling her knees wobble beneath the crushing agony of a child lost.          @k1ngbran ,   ( sc ) .

miss tully,   my beloved   <3

[northmother]

im frothing at the mouth for a verse where the north separated from the crown after robert’s rebellion & ned becomes king in the north

[northmother]

our children,   ned,   all our sweet babes.   rickon,   bran,   arya, sansa,   robb…   robb…   please,   ned,   please,   make it stop,   make it stop hurting…   the white tears and the red ones ran together until her face was torn and tattered,   the face that ned had loved 

for all my nonbook oomfs ---     she clawed her face off  </3

[northmother]

don’t cut my hair,   ned loves my hair   ...   then the steel was at her throat,   and its bite was red and cold

THERE IS NOT A CRUELER FATE THAN MOTHERHOOD.     to have borne such doe - natured,   pleading eyes into this world.     of which you are expected to deny their heart's greatest desire.     hidden under the guise that it is for their own good.     from the first gasp of life,   followed by the shrill cry that echoed her chambers,   rickon stark has had his mother wound tightly 'round his dainty little finger.

“     oh,   sweetling   -   we’ve been over this before,   the great hall is no place for a wolf.     ”

PAD OF THUMB IS QUICK TO CATCH A FALLEN TEAR,     while she might have been able to brush that away,   she cannot rid of the of sorrow quite so easily.     not with his rosy cheeks and eyelashes that are slick with tears.     the mother swiftly swings the small frame into her tender embrace,   raising him up to her hip.

“     what if we compromise ?     i’ll make you a deal,   if shaggywolf can stay put in the stables until you’ve finished your supper,   i’ll allow him to accompany you to your chambers tonight.     ”

CORNER OF LIP CURLS HOPEFULLY.     perhaps,   for once,   her little pup would choose to comply.     how unlikely it is.     @northeir​   ›   sc.

🗣 catelyn 🗣 stark 🗣 died 🗣 thinking 🗣 all 🗣 of 🗣 her 🗣 children 🗣 were 🗣 dead 🗣

[northmother]

i don’t want your money

i don’t want your crown

see i’ve come to burn your kingdom down

[...]   and no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out

[...]   i was dead when i woke up this morning

and i’ll be dead before the day is done

[northmother]

im going to reread catelyn’s chapters + chapters she’s mentioned in...   i am in for a wild ride.

[northmother]

catelyn is 5'7 and a half , but she'll say she's 5'8.

[northmother]

starter call, size will vary. specify if you want asoiaf based or a random verse i have for catelyn or you wont get one </3

[northmother]

its so funny because, catelyn does not have a solid faceclaim in my eyes. like yeah, i love michelle & i think she put her whole catussy into her performance as catelyn. but she isn't asoiaf catelyn to me. cat is just this holy entity that lives in my head rent free at all times, i have picked bits & pieces of different actress' features & smashed them together in my head... but i have not found the perfect fc, & thats okay tbh.

[northmother]

hey guys welcome to my blog, would you like some snacks while i go over some rules? no? okay great.

i hate the show. any inspo i take from the show will be very limited. talisa does not exist in my world & i will never acknowledge her. jeyne westerling all the way baby. you know that scene where cat was talking to t*lisa & is like "all this horror thats come to my family is because i couldnt love a motherless child" ?? yeah that didnt fucking happen. that will not be addressed. if you even reference it to me i'll bite your fingers off.

d&d hate women. hate them. they're raging misogynists & i fucking HATE what they did to catelyn. she's not some whiny cry baby, shes a FUCKING SHEWOLF. catelyn haters not welcome. if you hate catelyn thats a redflag. youre weird. say you have mommy issues & move on.

if you write any of my children & ship them with petyr or sandor or tyrion its on sight. idc if youre show based. they are children. petyr is a groomer. sandor is a grown man. tyrion in the show is okay but book tyrion BIG BAD.

this fandom is such a flaming dumpster fire. i literally dont trust anyone i dont know & im sorry for that, but ive been scorned so many times. im keeping to myself in my own little corner, dont enter the salt ring.

i will be writing up a doc with show info im okay with keeping + integrating it into the books timeline.

i have been writing catelyn since i was 15, i am 23-- thats 8 years. shes is my baby. so again, if i see aNY ooc catelyn slander we're gonna fist fight in a parking lot. i know she isnt perfect, but the fact that people chose to fucking berate her & shit on her left & right while fucking simping for canon rapists/groomers is absolutely insane.

you have been warned, proceed if ur brave enough <3

ill make a pretty pinned post later but right off the bat this all needed to be said.
