Thinking about the show where Duncan kicks prince Aerion, cause he saw him hurting Tanselle. Thinking about the asoiaf books where Arya Stark hit the crown prince Joffrey because he was cutting her friend out of cruel glee.

Thinking about the show where a lowborn hedge knight is thrown in the cell because you can't just hurt a prince, no matter if he broke someone's finger for a perceived insult. Thinking about Arya, who stood up to Joffrey's cruelty, but was spared the same fate because she was the highborn daughter of the king's childhood friend-she was lost in the forest and was hunted by the queen's brother and would have been killed if found out by the Lannister twin; but when her father's men found her and brought her back, she was given a chance to put forth her case in front of the king, under her father's protection.

Thinking about Baelor looking through books and scrolls in the show, to find out if there was some loophole he can exploit to let Dunk go, cause the system is built that way that you can never hurt those who are in power no matter how just your cause is. Robert Baratheon was no Baelor Targaryen- he couldn't care less about what is just and what is not, but he refused to maim Arya the way Cersei wanted to. She was a child and the daughter of his friend and he knew what Joffrey was capable of.

Thinking about the lowborn hedge knight being made to fight in the trial of seven cause you can't just kick a prince no matter his cruelty. Thinking about how you cannot hit prince Joffrey no matter his sadism and how Lady was sentenced to death because of it.

Thinking about Tanselle and her uncle fleeing so as to not get caught up in the aftermath. Thinking about Mycah not getting the chance to flee to his father, cause the crown prince has the power to order his sworn shield to chase a butcher's boy down and cut him up.

Thinking about Baelor calling what Aegon did, an unkindness, because he involved a lowborn Dunk into saving Tanselle, instead of calling on any other member of the royal family. Thinking about Arya hearing about Mycah's murder and being brought close to tears in disgust, when she realized none of her father's men cared for the fate that befell the butcher's boy.

Thinking about what all of this means and how over a hundred years apart, almost the same incident is repeated ( someone having to punch up at a sadist prince). Thinking about how it doesn't matter whether it is Aerion or Joffrey, Tanselle or Mycah, Dunk and Egg or Arya Stark, Baelor Targaryen or Robert Baratheon, because they are all bound by the same system that preserves the status quo. It doesn't matter who sits on the Iron throne- how cruel or just he/she is, ultimately they will have to make a compromise to preserve the sanctity and power of the throne to rule over everyone else. This battle for the dawn that looms over our protagonists in the current timeline- the battle which will be fought for freedom from slavery even in death; what comes after? Will the world of asoiaf once again return to being slaves of the system?

I love how George creates the duality of being low-born v high-born in the asoiaf world. The juxtaposition of Catelyn calling all swords and seizing Tyrion at the unsuccessful attempt to kill her son v Mycah’s father being handed his son’s chopped up body, to the point he couldn’t even recognise that it was his son and not a pig, and still not being able to do anything about it but stay quiet. Chilling.

Introducing Mycah and Dottie!

These two are siblings, and even though they bicker constantly, they're inseparable and care for each other deeply.

Mycah ( belongs to me )

They/them. They are a flirtatious but quiet individual, and love helping others.

They lost their right arm in a horrific event, from which both them and Dottie are still trying to mentally recover from.

Dottie ( belongs to @ari-skycotl )

She/her. She's a chaotic but caring girl, and she loves pranking others ( especially Mycah, they're her favorite target ).

The two used to live in Wasteland before it simply became too dangerous ( because Mycah lost their arm ), so they moved to Aviary for a safer home.

 ¿Y tú quién eres, chico? —preguntó en un tono imperioso que no delataba que el otro le llevaba un año.

  —Mycah —murmuró el muchacho. Reconoció al príncipe y bajó la vista—. Mi señor.

  —Es el hijo del carnicero —dijo Sansa.

 —Es mi amigo —intervino Arya con tono brusco—. Déjalo en paz.

  —El hijo de un carnicero y quiere ser caballero, ¿eh? —Joffrey desmontó, espada en mano—. Recoge tu espada, carnicero —dijo; le brillaban los ojos de diversión—. A ver qué tal lo haces. —Mycah se quedó paralizado de miedo. Joffrey avanzó hacia él—.Venga, que la cojas te he dicho. ¿O es que sólo peleas con niñas?

  —Me lo pidió ella, mi señor —dijo Mycah—. ¡Me lo pidió ella! A Sansa le bastó mirar el rostro congestionado de Arya para saber que el chico decía la verdad, pero Joffrey no estaba en disposición de escuchar nada. El vino lo hacía aún más audaz —¿Coges tu espada o no?

  —No es más que un palo, mi señor —dijo Mycah con un gesto de negación—. No es una espada. Sólo es un palo.

  —Y tú no eres más que el hijo de un carnicero, no un caballero. —Joffrey alzó a Colmillo de León y puso la punta en la mejilla de Mycah, justo debajo del ojo. El muchacho temblaba de manera incontrolable—. ¿Sabes que estabas atacando a la hermana de mi señora?

He was walking back to the tower to give himself up to sleep at last when Sandor Clegane and his riders came pounding through the castle gate, back from their hunt. There was something slung over the back of his destrier, a heavy shape wrapped in a bloody cloak. “No sign of your daughter, Hand,” the Hound rasped down, “but the day was not wholly wasted. We got her little pet.” He reached back and shoved the burden off, and it fell with a thump in front of Ned. Bending, Ned pulled back the cloak, dreading the words he would have to find for Arya, but it was not Nymeria after all. It was the butcher’s boy, Mycah, his body covered in dried blood. He had been cut almost in half from shoulder to waist by some terrible blow struck from above. “You rode him down,” Ned said. The Hound’s eyes seemed to glitter through the steel of that hideous dog’s-head helm. “He ran.” He looked at Ned’s face and laughed. “But not very fast.”

A Game of Thrones- Chapter 16 (George R. R. Martin)

Objectively, there's nothing funny about this scene, but a few days ago, I've read this post, and yeah... Sandor would be impossible to re-write into a billionaire daddy faithfully.

You cant just pitch the idea of Arya naming her son Micah and moving on like you didn't shatter my heart. Naming her son after the first true experience of violence and injustice before her eyes, and it happened to a normal kid who was just being her friend snd honouring a kid who no one but her would ever remember forever in naming a son after him.

I love the idea of the Starks naming their kids after characters theyve lost in the story and no one knowing where Arya got Micah from. But its okay. She remembers Micah, and now in a special way, everyone else will now too.

LISTEN, Arya and Mycah mean so much to me and I think about them a lot. Their relationship was so short-lived but it's such a significant moment in the story and to Arya's development. She is the only one who stood up for that poor boy, the only one to remember him, and the only one who tries to get justice for him. She's remembered him even books later, so I can definitely see her remembering him even longer down the line. I also think that the next generation will have some familiar names (I can definitely see some Ned's and Robb's down the line) and it would be so beautiful if Arya named a child after Mycah and kept his memory alive.
