Hi guys!

I'm writing and pinning this just in case anyone's been wondering why I haven't updated Castle Black or One by One.

There seems to be a recent trend to hate Alf's portrayal of Theon even more than usual (whyever anyone would is beyond me, tbh), because he's white, and liking him as Theon or portraying Theon as white in fic is being racist.

This is, not sorry to say, ridiculous. I absolutely love POC Theon headcanons and think they are completely valid and often great, alas... I don't write them. I love Alf as Theon. And because of that I have been getting anons on here for weeks now, telling me to kill myself or die in a ditch. I have been told to stay away from the ASoIaF fandom because it's "not for racists like me", and to be honest, I've had it, at least for now.

I'm not saying I won't finish both these stories, I definitely will, but I don't see any point in posting more chapters at the moment. There is little reaction*, so I have to assume there's little interest in my writing, which, according to those anons, "still stinks of the show," even when I work my arse off to write only book canon.

So. That's it from me for the time being. Do take care out there, this fandom has gone to absolute shit and brings me no joy at all right now.

*Thank you to those of you who did show interest. If any of you want to know the rest of those two stories and don't feel like waiting for updates for some time, drop me a PM.

Tagged by @st-clements-steps, ta! It's been a hot minute since I last posted on here, I hardly remembered how 🙈

Rules: Don't name the names, post gifs of your 10 favorite show and tag 10 people.

In no particular order:

Too lazy to do 10, so tagging @chibigrimmreaper, @november-rising, @ferrame, @sappsorrow, @sethmacenzie and everyone else who'd like to!

Hey mutuals and friends, I have a very important query:

I need a MILF for Robb. Though not necessarily a mother, can be any woman who's around Cat's age (pick your canon, idgaf), only stipulation is that she's an overall nice-ish person. So that rules out the Cerseis, Melisandres and Barbreys out there.

I'm having a total blackout, help please 🙈

I. Love this. 

Love it.

Oh my god

yes.

[defilerwyrm]

This is it, I found it, the funniest post on this entire godsforsaken website

[chambergambit]

I will never get over how brilliant this comic is. The artist could have just drawn a single image in response, but instead we have this masterpiece. The world doesn’t deserve @iguanamouth.

Hey, how does Black Castle end? Do you plan on finishing it soon

Hello!

I've thought long and hard how to answer your ask, but the truth is: I don't know. Castle Black (as well as One by One) is still on my mind. I write scenes, note down bits and pieces, think up dialogues in my head. But I can't bring myself to actually sit down and write a coherent chapter (nevermind more than that!) I do know this: I will finish it. Probably not this year. Maybe not the next. But I will. Unless I get hit by a space station toilet seat or smth like that I guess.

As for how it ends? I have a vague idea, but no more than that. But. Castle Black is a prequel to a one-shot called Winterfell. If you want to know where Theon and Jon are going, have a look at that one.

Thank you for your ask!

[fleurdeliet]

These are matching, looking good next to each other: mini Theon and grown up Theon

Your books bring so many people an incredible amount of joy and happiness.

The first Greysnow book I read was your Law of the north collection, it made me fall in live with Greysnow and your books in general. Don't let the haters get you down, you're incredibly lovely.

You guys are the best, srsly.

Thank you so much, kind nonnie, you're the lovely one. ♥️♥️♥️

[owlsinathens]

hii! I am quite new to the fandom and have been reading some of the Asoiaf ff on AO3, then I stumbled across yours! only been in the community for about a year, mostly observing, never thought people (adults I assume) could be so toxic about fictional characters and their skin color??

but mainly I just wanted to say; your books and writing are absolutely fantastic! i love reading them and it brings joy and makes me love the ship greysnow even more, it truly inspired me. And I am sorry about what happened to you, no one should harass a creator for such reasons like that. I hope they have stopped by now.

you deserve all the love and rest out there ♡

And another one, super kind and sweet, thank you so much, dear nonnie.

Your support means a lot. ♥️♥️♥️

[owlsinathens]

hiii !!!

i just wanted to say i ADORE your fics! you are such a hardworking and amazing writer. i’ve stayed up kicking my feet reading your fics, like until 4 a.m. with the silliest smiles on my face, despite having a college class at 9. law of the north made my month. i’m never getting over elska. anyway ! thank you so much for all of the work you have created and shared <3

I've had this sweet ask in my inbox for some time, reading it whenever the other anons got mean about my writing.

And since I published the nasty one, I very much wanted to post the sweet ones too.

Thank you, dear nonnie, so much, for your lovely words. They are a candle when the night is dark and full of terror anons ♥️

You Are A Racist Dog Whistler

Hateful anon is back, now in cursive.

Congrats, you're a BIG child now. Soon we'll let you sit at the adult table!

Srsly you gave me a good laugh when I woke up to this message. idk why but the cursive is absolutely sending me 🤣

On the other hand... Look. Look at this, you guys. THIS is what the Theon "fam" has become. Hateful people hiding behind anonymous, cursive (snort), hateful messages, and all because they can't bear that different people have different headcanons.

Here's my 'dog whistle' yet again, maybe you, anon, could have your parents or a trusted adult explain it to you? Since you obviously don't understand what it means? 🙂

[babyspice89]

It's the fact that these people harassing others for just not having their weird and baseless headcanons are likely not even POC and are just white saviors who are obsessed like no one in real life would be bothered that someone thinks a fictional character is white. Was GRRM supposed to explicitly state in the books that Theon is a person of color when race itself as a concept isn't the same way it is in our world just because someone thinks that way???

[owlsinathens]

Idk I wouldn't even say weird and baseless, maybe there was something in the story they were vibing with and they projected hard? I have no idea who they are, at this point I *think* it's two or more anons who send hate (and death wishes), they could be complete strangers I never interacted with who took umbridge with my loving Alf as Theon, and writing Theon as white in my fics. Really no idea.

I'm white. Super duper Middle European white. Wonderbread white. I read AGOT etc way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and such, and Theon being described as dark, and the whole Europe in medieval times and Ironborn-Vikings vibes, my mind went with tan. There do exist white people that can be described as dark. My grandpa for example was Whitey McWhiteson, and he was VERY dark (only April to September though, for Winter he always went dreadfort-dungeons-white).

Now I'm not even saying I am right. That my interpretion has to be the correct one, or that people who headcanon Theon as a POC are inherently wrong. Everyone brings their own experiences and interpretions to a book, made of words instead of images.

But the hate for Alf for daring to play Theon, or harrassing and wishing death on fans of Alf's performance, or writers/artists who don't interpret/see Theon as a POC under the guise of OMG RACIST, that's where they're very, very wrong.

Dear hater anons: you are wrong. And there's no cure for you being a cunt, not even cursive.

[shebsart]

Jon hung a quiver from his belt and pulled an arrow. The shaft was black, the fletching grey. As he notched it to his string, he remembered something that Theon Greyjoy had once said after a hunt. 

“The boar can keep his tusks and the bear his claws,“  he had declared, smiling that way he did. "There’s nothing half so mortal as a grey goose feather.”

Jon had never been half the hunter that Theon was, but he was no stranger to the longbow either.

The cursive 😭

IKR? 🤣🙈
