starkfish replied to your post: Just out of curiosity, who is your young!Catelyn fancast? Sorry if you’ve answered this before.

Isolda is my #1 young!Lysa fancast toooo, she’s adorable and pretty but sort of has that pouty-mouth that you could imagine becoming petulant with age. Lotte Verbeek always struck me more Cat than Sansa but that may be because I like Sophie a lot XD

Yeah Lysa is said to have a small mouth, which Dychauk has, and she’s just … SO CUTE OMG XD

I think Verbeek kinda resembles Sophie than she resembles Michelle? Though I’m a bookverse person anyway, really it’s just I’ve just seen Verbeek on soooo many Sansa graphics that it really cannot be undone at this point XD But yeah I understand, I mean, if you want to know the honest truth, way before the show ever came out I used Lena Headey for Catelyn graphics and thought she’d do well in a television version of the role too. And you can imagne how that went XD

Even though Sansa and Cat are supposed to look very alike, I still tend to fancast them according to different requirements, Lotte Verbeek has a delicate aspect that I feel works for Sansa but leaves me wanting something a little more for Cat. But again they’re supposed to look very very similar so my process is nothing all that respectable XD Really it’s just that fandom has made the association entrenched for me.

Oops have to reblog because long oops. XD

Oh, yeah, I agree, Verbeek looks closer to Sophie than to Michelle though I don’t think she looks particularly like either. XD Also, I think Michelle’s a great actress but she’s not my headcanon!Cat physically (like you I tend to go on bookverse!), so when thinking of fancastings I don’t necessarily look for resemblance. XD Personally I think the graphics that use Sophie and Lotte as young!Sansa and older!Sansa are odd, because Sophie is looking so mature anymore that there’s sort of a disconnect for me.

Plus I tend to think of Cat as tall and more willowy (like Lysa was said to be and how Sansa is) so Verbeek physically fits into my headcanon. XD I just imagine the three of them all built very similarly.

I do like Hurd-Wood for little!Cat, too, though when I was looking for fancasts for my ASOIAF Big Bang, she was a bit too young and too young looking for the age I was looking for. She’s 23, I think, but she looks more like 16-17.

But yessss anyway Dychauk is the perfect flawless baby Lysa and so many pictures make her look like a deer caught in headlights WHICH IS LYSA ANYWAY OMG.

ok so there’s this novel called asoiaf and there’s like this violet-eyed dragon prince who falls in love with NoRthErn beauty she-wolf. and they love each other alot. they could of been super happy xcept he was married to this huuuuuge party pooper named elia martell who was like only marrying him for her duty (GOLD DIGGER!!1)

she was mean to rhaegar and never loved him. also she was dainty and always playing sick like what a dumb person right???21 not lyanna, she was a werewolf stark princess and elia sux for being weak cuz she chose to be sick and weak.

rhaegar left his wife for lyanna cuz luvvv. the kingdom fell apart bcuz no1 understood the deep love rhaegar had for lyanna wolfstark and dragon bby prophecies.

then his wife ella got killed along w/ his kids rhaeni and aegon (i think???). that wasn’t rhaegar fault ok. it was elia she was weak and couldn’t take care of herself. she wasn’t a strong northern women she-wolf hyper starkian queen like lyanna, so yeah.

but the fandom blames it on rhaegar and that’s very sad bcuz rhaegar was lonely and had no1 but jon connington and his dragon prophecies. also they think he did bad in leaving his wife but he DIDNT LUV HERRR1 also she was dumb

anyway meta conlcusion: lyanna and rhaegar deserved to be happy and have starkian violet eyed dragon bby she-wolves but elia got in the way

YAY I LOVE IT! FANDOM… OH IT BLIIIIINNNDDDS ME!

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME GRRM WROTE A PERFECT CHARACTER? WHEN DID HE LAST WRITE A PERFECT LOVE STORY? AND WHY DO I KEEP SEEING THESE ONE-DIMENSIONAL VIEWS?

/rant over

But, honestly, whether you want to sanctify Elia Martell, Rhaegar Targaryen or Lyanna Stark, or turn them into tragic victims, kickass heroines or evil villains, the likelihood, based on what we already know about GRRM’s writing, is about 98.9% that you are going to be wrong. 

Why is this so hard for everybody to understand?

Also, really? Is this a view that is actually commonly expressed about Elia? I’ve only seen it very VERY rarely - for the most part, those who take a romantic view of Rhaegar/Lyanna also have sympathy for Elia, from what I’ve seen. Far more often, I see LYANNA characterized as a homewrecking strumpet, never mind the fact that she was, y’know, FOURTEEN. But I fully admit that I neither track the appropriate tags nor hang out in the cesspool of fandom (westeros.org) so maybe this is something that is commonly thrown at Elia; fandom never ceases to amaze me with its level of gross, after all. Anyway, yes, would love insight because the original post just made me go “wtf.”

I wanted to write tonight but my stomach hurts too much now. :-(

I WAS SO HAPPY RIGHT AFTER EATING DINNER AND IT HAS BACKFIRED SO SPECTACULARLY. :-(

OH NO! I would be legit mad if I became allergic to avocado.

I KNOOOOOW, and I’m afraid that it probably is the avocado. ;____; I feel like I would have a reaction with ALL eggs if it were the eggs, and I’ve only recently started regularly eating avocado (and have only recently started having stomach pains) 

I AM CREY ;____; 

So I think I have an intolerance either to hardboiled eggs or to avocado.:( I need to stop eating them together (in salads, mostly, except for tonight) to figure out which it is. :( 

AND THEN I WILL WEEP. :( 

I made avocado deviled eggs for dinner. 

They were sooooo good

And so filling which is good because I am an eating machine

From the Catelyn tag: “I’m not going to read the books, and the first fuck that spoils anything for me gets Leeon Greyjoy’d. (The fact that I can remember 50% of the names of this show is astonishing.)” 

LEEON GREYJOY

Wylla Wylla Wylla…?

Maybe he was alternating. AsharaWyllaAsharaWylla. XD

Had to watch it again just now (which was a trauma tbh) and there’s no way he’s saying ANYTHING but a prayer. There are multiple words involved for one!

Maybe he’s really going ‘ASHARAASHARAASHARAASHARAASHARA’ then. ;-)

Eh? Ashara? What what?

Hahaha yessss, it was quite awhile ago but it made me LOL so I remember it. XD It was a post in the Ned tag talking about his beheading, and the person noticed him moving his lips, and said ‘doesn’t it kind of look like he’s whispering ‘Ashara’???’

No. No it doesn’t.
