Letter from the Ice Field, December
by Sara Eliza Johnson
In the dream, you stand at the end
of the field beyond the house.
You bury something.
Your hands glow like milk in the dark.
You bend, your shovel lifts pieces
of moonlight into the air.
I try to call you inside
but my mouth locks with frost.
The room of the skull floods with snow.
I have forgotten how you sound.
Your hands fall like milk
into the well of darkness you dig
and I cannot see beyond it.
This is to say, I wake
with a deeper void. I am beginning
to see the body as a well
and your absence as a thirst
that pushes its hands
down my throat, lifts the bucket,
drinks and drinks. A saint said
when the dead visit us in dreams
they cannot know what they do.
You came to the field.
You cut off your ears.
Your hands fell through me —
two lights I almost broke
in half wanting. Tell me
what you thought you were doing
when you tried to lay your body
into that ground.

LORDS OF WINTERFELL + THEIR BASTARD SIBING - Cregan Stark & Sara Snow
The matter of what exactly happened when Prince Jacaerys Velaryon came to Winterfell is a matter only truly known to those who were there. Regardless, after the Prince’s death in 130 AC, Lord Cregan Stark raised a host of nearly twenty-thousand men to ride south to honor the pact he made with his dear friend.
He trusted no one to rule Winterfell in his absence than his elder sister, a bastard named Sara Snow. She acted as a regent for his young son and heir, Rickon, as Cregan had planned for a lengthy campaign. Despite being the formidable Wolf of the North, Sara had always been protective of her younger brother. Cregan suffered loss early in his life with the deaths of father, his lady-mother, their younger brother, and most recently his beloved wife Arra Norrey.
Like Cregan, Sara was politically apt, had a strong heart for justice, and commanded respect from all. Since wresting power from his corrupt uncle at only six-and-ten, Sara acted as an advisor for Cregan. For many years, the Wolves of the North were a small pack, but Cregan was just as dedicated to his sister as Sara was to him. After the war, when Cregan remarried to Alysanne Blackwood, they had a daughter named Sarra, likely named after his dear sister.

I honestly can’t stop laughing when I read TG stans claiming they are “critical thinkers” for choosing to side with the Greens, after watching the show.
My advice: Read the damn book if you wish to be a true “critical thinker” and maybe your brain will finally connect the dots that you’re either supposed to be Team Black or Team Neutral/Smallfolk.

the man who was obsessed with nyra and the ex “friend” who lets her delusions and lies that are pretty obviously untrue from her father guide her rather than common sense are the ones who need to stay away from rhaenyra especially when you consider that in canon (the book) that Criston first came into Rhaenyra’s life when she was like 7 or 8 and even Alicent said “ser Criston protects rhaenyra from her enemies but who protects rhaenyra from ser Criston”
Also both book and show Rhaenyra were the ones mistreated and abused in the rhaenyra/alicent relationship but I’m happy that this goon at least doesn’t ship nyra with her stepmother-exfriend-abuser-usurper. And Alicent and her doe eyes and victim complex who can never be criticized or you’re “victim blaming” her is more of a Mary Sue.
HOTD was a mistake.
