s4 for my baby boy syrius

I know you said I should hurt Syrius...but this season is rough for him. Syrius is revealed to be a surviving Reyne to the entire court of king’s landing. Which gives him a motive against Joffrey and the Lannister’s. Evidence starts to quickly pile up against Syrius following the Purple Wedding.

tell me everything there is to know about syrius bc that fc looks like a whole ass snack and im ready to protect him at all costs

Syrius Reyne Dalt (unfortunately) doesn’t enter the story until season 2. In the wake of Robert’s death, Doran Martell sees an opportunity and sends a small party of Dornishmen to the capital for some bs reason like to ‘reassure their ties to the crown.’ Oberyn is really there to discover the names of the Lannister men who killed Elia and her children. Syrius, as Oberyn’s squire, accompanies him with a mission of his own. Since he was a boy, his mother, Alys Reyne, has plotted to restore the House Reyne and take down the Lannisters, her son being key in her plans. Alys and Doran have taught Syrius the virtue of patience, and while Syrius isn’t the best player in the game, he is a keen observer and is dedicated to fulfilling his mother’s dream of seeing the Lannisters fall like the rest of her family fell. 

He wasn’t meant to stay in King’s Landing, but Tyrion and Alyssa alter the Martells’ plans. To save her life, Alyssa is spirited to Dorne in an arranged marriage but only agrees to do so if someone remains to watch over Sansa (no way in the seven hells would Alyssa leave Sansa without anyone). Syrius volunteers. He’s really on his own for the first time, had been safe and guided by his mother and mentors in Dorne. But he has a very friendly personality and befriends the Tyrells quickly. Sansa doesn’t trust him at first, is wary, but she warms up to him and Syrius realizes Sansa is going to become the best player and shares with her the lessons he remembers from Doran (so she doesn’t have to listen to Baelish). 

Syrius is honestly in the story for me to include more Dorne and to give Sansa a romance slightly more worthy of her than any canon options. Syrius identifies strongly with Sansa’s situation, does his best to comfort and support her as things get worst for her. He knows she can survive, his mother survived too, but he comes to want justice for Sansa so deeply. He will realize that he absolutely loves her later in the seasons but will never ever tell her because she’s been hurt enough and doesn’t to project anything. He is there for her no matter what and also has a supply of lemons exported from his home for Sansa to have a constant supply of lemon cakes. 

Fun fact: Syrius’ character was inspired by the song “Wait for It” in the Hamilton musical (because I am always musical trash). Especially these two lyrics: if there’s a reason I’m still alive when everyone who loves me has died then I’m willing to wait for it.

can you tell me more about your got ocs!!! i'm legit so curious like i need to know everything!!!!

Thank you so much for this ask!! GoT is slowly taking over my life with the final season coming up and what started off as a little plot bunny is now a full-fledged series and my response is under a read more because I have too many ideas and don’t know how to give a short reply

This madness all began with the first protagonist: Alyssa Snow. I’ve already answered a few questions about her: here. But I love talking about my girl, who suffers so much, even in the first episode because of all the changes that happen in the wake of the King’s arrival: Robb and Mallarie’s wedding, Robert’s instance that Alyssa comes to King’s Landing with Ned, and Bran’s fall. Alyssa feels a lot of guilt about Bran, he is the younger sibling she is closest to and she is the one who taught him how to climb trees in the Godswood even though she disapproved of him climbing the actual castle. It doesn’t help that Catelyn will blame her as well, who’s scorn has always had a deeper effect on Alyssa than Jon (because of a small but significant event in their past). While she would usually find comfort in her brothers, Robb and Jon, they are all being forced apart by circumstances. When they were children, the three of them stood before the heart tree and made promises to each other, like Robb promised Alyssa he would never send her away from Winterfell, Jon promised Alyssa and Robb he would always protect them, Alyssa promised to be there for them. They’re the ultimate brotp I love them. It hurts Alyssa a lot that these promises are being broken and she actually fights with Jon about it when he decides to join the Night’s Watch, which is going to have some lasting impacts in the greater stage of the story.

Mallarie Lannister/Stark. Idk what to tag her names as because each surname is very significant. And that basically sums up Mallarie’s character arc: her transitioning alliances from the Lannisters to the Starks, but it takes a long time. Mallarie is the most Lannister to ever Lannister. Mallarie’s mother was Myrcella Lannister, who was Cersei’s cousin, closest friend, and lady in waiting. Shortly after Cersei’s firstborn died, Myrcella died giving birth to Mallarie. In her grief, Cersei decides to become a mother figure to Mallarie as her own, and completely adored her. Mallarie grows up loving the game of thrones, and even though she is just a Lannister cousin (which causes some insecurity on her part, because she was treated like a princess by Cersei, but she’s not) she really wants a throne and power for herself. But then, Robert (and probably someone shady, like Littlefinger) decide it would be intelligent to establish a more permanent and immediate alliance between the Lannisters and the Starks, so Mallarie’s life is uprooted and she is sent to be Catelyn’s ward with the expectation she gets to know Robb and marry him when they come of age (this event happens about a year or two before the first episode).

At first, Mallarie absolutely despises the North. She’s never been farther north than the capital and it’s so so cold. She hates it, can’t stand the snow and she is completely separated from her family. She is a bit of a brat and her and Robb get off to the wrong foot when they first encounter each other. So the next two years are these idiots (and they are idiots, they are like 13/14) being bratty to each other (very much like Odette and Derek as children in that animated movie the Swan Princess). Meanwhile, Mallarie surprisingly immediately connects with Jon and Alyssa (especially Jon), understands how they feel like outsiders, part of a family yet not. Jon helps her learn how to really appreciate and come to love the north and its culture. But Mallarie and Robb finally come to actually be pleasant each other to marry when the King visits Winterfell. Marriage changes things for Mallarie and Robb and they will fall in love, but the honeymoon phase does not last long. Especially when letters from King’s Landing start arriving. Mallarie still holds a lot of love and loyalty for the Lannisters, especially Cersei, and she knows exactly what Tywin is capable of. She discourages Robb from war because she is afraid of the consequences. She finally gets her crown, but it may cost her everything. The war threatens Robb’s life and her relationship with him as she struggles to navigate between being Queen of the North (who is sorta distrusted by her own people because everyone always identifies her as Lannister) and being a wife to a husband who loves her but hates her family. She’s trying her best in an impossible situation and my heart breaks for her. Eventually, she’ll completely side with the Starks and the North, and use her Lannister mentality to good use.

Bonus: lost and only led by stars may get a third protagonist because I have no self-control and I’m already messing with canon so much, why not add another oc. Syrius Maegyr was born in Voltains to a nobleman of the Maegyrs and to Alys Reyne (the last surviving member of House Reyne of Castamere). He grew up very close to his mother, who taught him all about Westeros and his birthright in Castamere, stolen from him by the Lannisters, so he grows up despising the Lannisters. When he is older, he travels the free cities as an apprentice to a merchant, and in Qarth, he encounters Daenerys Targaryen. He is fascinated by her and her story, cannot help but to feel connected to her because of their similar stories: exiled with a destiny in Westeros. So he joins her court, intending to help her take back the Iron Throne as she helps him reclaim his family’s title and legacy. This guy was literally created three days ago so I don’t have much for him yet, but he’s really cool and I like him a lot.

Again, thank you for this ask! I really love answering questions about my ocs, so if you have any more, please feel free to ask. (Also we’ve never spoken but I think you’re really cool and super super talented. your gifs are stunning and your characters are all so awesome )
