how much can a crown be worth when a crow can dine upon a king?

Commissioned artwork by @drawulan who perfectly depicted the elusive charm of the Siren of Driftmark.

Alyn had various men and women vying for his affection in his lifetime and yet none could truly capture his heart. Like the essence of the sea, he remained unbound and free. 🌊

But her eyes were the most terrible thing.

Her eyes saw him, and they hated.

I like when Catelyn starts killing people in her brain

Catelyn Tully by EtceteraArt. they’ve been posting their asoiaf stuff lately and are quickly becoming one of my favorite artists for these characters

[ghostinwinterfell]

what I love about catelyn’s characterization is that she isn’t everyone’s mother. she refuses to treat jon like one of her own. she doesn’t have any “motherly instincts” towards theon. even with brienne, she connects with her on more of a woman to woman level than through some mother-daughter dynamic. she never feels obligated to play the angelic “mother to all” figure.

but that’s the best part about her journey as a mother—it’s kind of messy. she has a favorite child, she’s forced to choose between her kids, she actively resents a motherless boy, she dislikes the hostage child living in her home. like yeah catelyn’s love for her children is beautiful and “pure” or whatever, but it also makes her cruel, selfish, impulsive, ruthless, even vengeful.

tbh catelyn’s sense of motherhood is just so unapologetically human, so refreshingly honest. she may be a mother, but there’s nothing romantic or intuitive or easy about it. catelyn stark loves her children, but it’s not that simple.
