For anyone who wears the ring / upon his finger can’t be seen / by any man, however keen / his eyes, just as you cannot see / the wood when bark grows on the tree. Yvain Knight of the Lion, Chrétien de Troyes trans. Ruth Harwood Cline

☕️ + this theory that Ramsay’s mother killed Domeric

i like this theory! i originally read it in a post on asoiafblr that i can no longer find but that i believe was by amuelia.

and i talk about it in this ask:

🌿🪶📜🪳!!! and ohhhh wow i'm looking up more on the body world exhibit that is . very sketchy provenance indeed. i didn't realize they had plas

i understand what the linked post is saying about poison being a woman's weapon but i think it's important to note that poison is regarded as a woman's weapon, which doesn't actually prevent men from using it or getting women to use it on their behalf (lysa poisoning jon arryn for petyr, as one example)

i like to think that reek may have been the one to suggest the manner and method of domeric's death, but i base that on poison being regarded as a woman's weapon and reek wearing flowers in his hair "like a maiden" because i have always taken that line and run with it to hc him as being outwardly effeminate.

in general though i regard domeric's poisoning as a plot that was hatched by the whole little family working together, reek and the miller's wife coaxing ramsay into action when the opportunity presented itself. i don't think rams would have done it this way independently, so whether his was the hand that slipped domeric the poison directly or not, i don't think it was his idea.
