Arya Stark Appreciation Month 2022: Day 3 → Jon Snow

The importance of Needle and “Stick them with the pointy end.” shown throughout the books with Arya and Jon

kyloren:

He remembered their godswood; the tall sentinels armoured in their grey-green needles, the great oaks, the hawthorn and ash and soldier pines, and at the centre the heart tree standing like some pale giant frozen in time. He could almost smell the place, earthy and brooding, the smell of centuries, and he remembered how dark the wood had been even by day. That wood was Winterfell. It was the north. I never felt so out of place as I did when I walked there, so much an unwelcome intruder. He wondered if the Greyjoys would feel it too. The castle might well be theirs, but never that godswood. Not in a year, or ten, or fifty. — Tyrion Lannister [A Clash of Kings, Chapter 49 Tyrion XI]

The red leaves of the weirwood were a blaze of flame among the green. Ned Stark’s tree, he thought, and Stark’s wood, Stark’s castle, Stark’s gods. This is their place, not mine. — Theon Greyjoy. [A Clash of Kings, Chapter 56, Theon V]

They arrived, flushed and breathless to find Jon seated on the sill, one leg drawn up languidly to his chin. He was watching the action, so absorbed that he seemed unaware of her approach until his white wolf moved to meet them. Nymeria stalked closer on wary feet. Ghost, already larger than his litter mates, smelled her, gave her ear a careful nip, and settled back down.

Jon gave her a curious look. “Shouldn’t you be working on your stitches, little sister?” 

Arya made a face at him. “I wanted to see them fight.” 

He smiled. “Come here, then.”

The Heirs of Winterfell 

This started as a series of quick sketches while listening to an audiobook late one night. I’ve been trying to establish a cohesive look for each of the Seven Kingdoms and have been having a difficult time coming up with things that I like. This was me toying around with some viking inspired looks. 

polar-biscuit:

wanted to draw the babies of the north, and also thanks to @icesalamander cause their clothes design are everything !

daeneryskairipa:

She hasn’t cried in years but she does now, for the brother she always loved most.

kitsn0w:

what is duty, against the memory of a brother’s smile? (requested)

shebsart:

some AU

i know this older Starks theme has been done too many times before, but I wanted to draw all of them together when they’re adults

fuckyeahhousestark:

‘‘The lone wolf dies but the pack survives’‘ (All 4 of the remaining Starks had their scenes with their father)

robbsansa:

The Starks remembering Robb as they’d last seen him.

“Arya didn’t know how much Robb would pay for her, though. He was a king now, not the boy she’d left at Winterfell with snow melting in his hair. And if he knew the things she’d done, the stableboy and the guard at Harrenhal and all … “What if my brother doesn’t want to ransom me?“” A Storm Of Swords - Arya VII

“She had last seen snow the day she’d left Winterfell. That was a lighter fall than this, she remembered. Robb had melting flakes in his hair when he hugged me, and the snowball Arya tried to make kept coming apart in her hands.” A Storm of Swords - Sansa VII

“He remembered Robb as he had last seen him, standing in the yard with snow melting in his auburn hair.” A Game Of Thrones - Jon IX
