Children of Stevron Frey (Walder's first grandchildren)

1 + 13 from the asoiaf themed asks !!

1. Favourite Great House:

This is impossible to answer but I think I’m going to say house Lannister because it’s the one I find most interesting, I like to think of my Belthornes as their foils (and there has been at least one Lannithorne union historically, though I need to expand on it). I find the dynamics between characters of house Lannister particularly interesting, and some of my favourite characters are from this house like Cersei and Tyland!

13. A death that still hurts to think about:

Jinglebell! And I know this might be a case of me getting attached to a really minor character, but it hurt me. From the foreshadowing by the seer woman telling the Brotherhood “the saddest sound were the little bells”, I am going to cry. They refer to him as a lackwit grandson to Walder Frey and hold him with basically no regard, they dress him up in this fool costume to go meet Robb in order to slight him and he’s probably disabled or on the spectrum or I’m not sure but he doesn’t have an understanding of the situation they just put him in. He doesn’t hate Robb, he has nothing to do with politics and the war, he minds his business he does what they tell him, he’s a pretty harmless and in my opinion amiable character that gets caught in the middle. Cat grabbed the first person she got her hands on to try to bargain with Walder, I don’t think she seriously meant to kill him, I think what killed him is the fact that Walder really just didn’t give a fuck and Cat was so grief stricken, heartbroken and feeling powerless that she killed the poor guy because it was the only thing she had control over in that situation, it could have been literally any other guy. I understand that GRRM made it this way as a way to show innocent people getting caught in the middle, it still really fucking hurt me!

Now, in my headcanon that doesn’t happen, because I like to give characters a happy ending, so instead Cat grabs someone else during the Red Wedding, and Aegon eventually gets to Marehaven Keep where the Belthornes treat him a little more nicely and he can spend time in the library or making arts and crafts with Léowyn’s aunt Ceryne, a widow who enjoys telling stories to her grand nephews and nieces, making sweets and picking cherries in the gardens!

People don't dislike Catelyn for not being Jon's mother, people dislike her for being spiteful to Jon and wishing harm on him.

People dislike her for killing innocent Aegon “Jinglebell” Frey (me).

People dislike her for going after more innocents as Lady Stoneheart like Podrick (also me).

Robb had broken his word, but Catelyn kept hers. She tugged hard on Aegon’s hair and sawed at his neck until the blood grated on bone. Blood ran hot over her fingers. His little bells were ringing, ringing, ringing, and the drum went boom doom boom.

Finally someone took the knife away from her. The tears burned like vinegar as they ran down her cheeks. Ten fierce ravens were raking her face with sharp talons and tearing off strips of flesh, leaving deep furrows that ran red with blood. She could taste it on her lips.

(…) The white tears and the red ones ran together until her face was torn and tattered, the face that Ned had loved. Catelyn Stark raised her hands and watched the blood run down her long fingers, over her wrists, beneath the sleeves of her gown. Slow red worms crawled along her arms and under her clothes. It tickles. That made her laugh until she screamed. “Mad,” someone said, “she’s lost her wits,” and someone else said, “Make an end,” and a hand grabbed her scalp just as she’d done with Jinglebell, and she thought, No, don’t, don’t cut my hair, Ned loves my hair. Then the steel was at her throat, and it’s bite was red and cold.

The eighth Lady Frey stood beside Lord Walder's high seat. At his feet sat a somewhat younger version of himself, a stooped thin man of fifty whose costly garb of blue wool and grey satin was strangely accented by a crown and collar ornamented with tiny brass bells. The likeness between him and his lord was striking, save for their eyes; Lord Frey's small, dim, and suspicious, the other's large, amiable, and vacant. Catelyn recalled that one of Lord Walder's brood had fathered a halfwit long years ago. During past visits, the Lord of the Crossing had always taken care to hide this one away. Did he always wear a fool's crown, or is that meant as mockery of Robb? It was a question she dare not ask. Catelyn VI - 674

Catelyn sees Lord Frey with his sad, new wife and grandson Aegon Frey, otherwise known as Jinglebell.

Jinglebell is a character I’ve been wondering about for a while. I’ve commented about Mr. Martin’s use of fools before. I've read some history about actual fools in the middle ages. There were some anecdotes about some of them being mentally handicapped and kept as pets. Whether this was cruel or a way to protect them is a mystery of the ages.

While no one is defending Walder, Frey, one can argue that keeping Aegon around in motley is better than locking him in his cell for the rest of his life.

I find myself regarding him as the most tragic victim of the Red Wedding.

Because of this, I went out of my way to make jingle Bell, the least funny fool, after Patchface, of course.
