"She was like that, she threw things off balance just to see if she could put them back in some other way." - Elena Ferrante
largely inspired by this post by my beloved @elenagrec and this discussion i've had with @prismelit

riverrun would be so beautifully decorated inside and outside. the pretty castle surrounded by rivers and fertile as hell floodplains? home of the family granted stewardship of the region (even if theyâve only been in power since conquest) - they would be one of the most wealthy and well decorated keeps. prove me wrong (you canât)

This brilliant (pun intended) post by @artemideaddams comparing Lila Cerullo and Catherine Earnshaw also made me think of how complicated it is to determine whether Heathcliff or Catherine is the truly socially advantaged one in Wuthering Heights.
On the one hand Heathcliff is the one denied an education and thus ripped apart from his childhood friend like Lila. But on the other hand Heathcliff can leave Yorkshire and make something of himself like Lenu did (though in Heathcliffâs case it is because he is a man). Whereas Catherine Earnshaw probably never ever went beyond Gimmerton, just like Lila never left Napoli (until presumably at the very end of the series).
Aeron: "Men fish the sea, dig in the earth, and die. Women birth children in blood and pain, and die. Night follows day. The winds and tides remain. The islands are as our god made them."
Some scenes for the prompt "Home" for twoweeksoftheon
(The scene with Aeron hit me, when I reread. We often fault Theon for his homecoming, for failing to get to know the people and find allies first. But one of the first things he does on the Iron Islands is in fact ask for advice and information in full humility, from someone he remembers as potentially helpful. Aeron isn't.)
i wont lie i hold quite a bit of fondness for house manderly. like wyman manderly's meeting with davos skyrocketed him into being one of my fav schemers in this series. like yesss people in story assume wyman is a craven and an idiot who can be pushed into submission but thats not true!! he uses those expectations against people to disarm them into seeing him as not much of a threat. he even plays into these concepts like the pie scene is one of his most iconic ofc because like what a ballsy move to disappear three frey family members and then appear at a wedding with three massive pies and ask a singer to play the song about a man's son being turned into a pie and served to him. and the whole family playing into the mummer's show in the merman's court is soooo good too like okay his granddaughters are down to perform all this to backstab the people who killed their uncle. literally awesome. anyway merman sigil + "the merman's court" name + the fact all of the guards wield tridents and not spears. chefs kiss they have the pizzazz they know how to perform. definitely a house that resembles the families in the reach but are loyal northmen all the same.
we have to do our research this election year itâs important
Iâve been asked a few times about a labelled Master List of sigils. There are a ton of them, I know, and itâs frustrating to look back and forth between the individual posts where they are labeled. So have this!Â
