IMAGINE:
If Arya was a Lannister
The image does not belong to me.
Possible timeline and wording errors, sorry.
-Remember the baby who cried and struggled to survive, thinking it was a boy? Well no, it was a girl.
-The baby survived to Cersei and Robert's peace of mind, both of them finally agreeing on something.
-Cersei had a long list of names, preferably originating from Casterly Rock. Meanwhile, Robert was over the moon. It took about 30 days for him to finally choose a name, Cersei had never been so embarrassed of her lord husband (for the moment).
-The king named her Arya. It turns out that, in those thirty days, he was messaging his lifelong best friend Ned Stark, asking for advice on a good name and how to be a good father. Ned upon reading that the girl was born with black hair like her father and watery eyes (I don't know if Baratheon blue or brown like show! Robert, how do you prefer it?), without hesitation sent him several respectable northern names and one of them was Arya. The king loved it, it sounded like Lyanna. Actually, he planned to call her that but his Lannister wife gave him the most murderous look when he vaguely commented on it, to test the waters.
-Arya Lannister grew up with all the luxuries and attentions of her position. However, the years passed and so did the resentment between Robert and Cersei.
-Arya from an early age, was rebellious. That pleased Cersei, it reminded her of when she was a child, and instead of Tywin forbidding her something, Cersei granted it. So she learned to ride, to train with wooden swords and to know about war strategies. However, Cersei had her limits: like to know how to behave like a lady, to know how to sew perfectly, to present herself with other children of her rank, little things like that.
-Robert loved it, saw the wildness in her blood and imagined that Arya was the daughter he and Lyanna Stark might have had. Arya was teasing, mischievous and enjoyed roaming the halls of the Red Keep.
-Every time Cersei looked at her, she felt a sneer at her strong resemblance to her father. That was when she was about eight to nine years old. Her walk, her tone of voice, her expressions, it was something she couldn't stand. She let him drop out of her "boy" classes despite Robert's protest, following the advice her father Tywin had given her years before.
-"You should act, as well as x lady," "speak as a maiden should," and "is that the best attire you have, call your maids." It was Arya's day to day life.
-But Arya Lannister was proud. When lions do not fight, they hide and continue to fight from another perspective. She ran away, looked for hiding places, begged her father to oppose her mother (unsuccessfully).
To make matters worse, baby Joffrey arrived. He was blond and identical to his mother, to the point that he absorbed all her attention. Arya had annoyed him a little, but then she was glad, she could have more freedom to do what she wanted.
She made all the fuss she could that caught Tywin Lannister's attention. Annoyed, he traveled with Tyrion to reassure his first granddaughter. When it was hinted to become his ward, Cersei's denial was immediate (she knew firsthand her father's cruelty even to his own blood), then, the second idea was for Tyrion to serve as nanny, practically.
The king was amused and agreed to the deal. Not knowing the impact his uncle Tyrion would have on little Arya's life.
Quickly, Tyrion settled in and engaged in wry talks with the young Lannister. They both fled Cersei's wrath, sometimes with her uncle Jaime acting rather strangely around Arya.
When Arya bled, it was the worst day of her life. An ambitious and spiteful Cersei, a cold Tywin and a friendly Robert, were looking to see which would be her best match.
That was when Arya went from being a little girl to being a woman.

A Game of Thrones, Eddard II
His voice had grown so loud that his horse whinnied nervously beneath him. The king jerked the reins hard, quieting the animal, and pointed an angry finger at Ned.
“I will kill every Targaryen I can get my hands on, until they are as dead as their dragons, and then I will piss on their graves.”
Ned knew better than to defy him when the wrath was on him. If the years had not quenched Robert’s thirst for revenge, no words of his would help.
“You can’t get your hands on this one, can you?” he said quietly.
The king’s mouth twisted in a bitter grimace. “No, gods be cursed.”

Baratheon Ladies Face claims
I think Baratheon OCs are interesting, and I chose to do moodboards and face claims for possible Baratheon OCs you may need
Face claim:
1. Elizabeth Gillies
2. Delfina Chaves
3. Juliana Kelling
4. Lea van Acken
It took me a while to choose who had more Baratheon energy but I'm satisfied and happy with the results.
Names that I think that fit the Baratheon women:
1. Elettra + Emma= Elettrema
2. Mirabella + Hanna= Miranna
3. Carla + Amalia= Carmalia
4. Caterina + Viktoria= Vitterina
5. Daniela + Lotte= Dalotte

Previous post: The sigil of House Stark
The next one is the sigil and motto of House Baratheon, by Tomislav Tomić.
(In the Asoiaf Spanish editions, Ours is the fury is "Nuestra es la Furia")
The king's pavilion was close by the water, and the morning mists off the river had wreathed it in wisps of grey. It was all of golden silk, the largest and grandest structure in the camp. Outside the entrance, Robert's warhammer was displayed beside an immense iron shield blazoned with the crowned stag of House Baratheon.
Eddard VII, A Game of Thrones

robert stans are so funny because he is the only baratheon/baratheon bastard to not serve at least some form of cunt. stannis did 100% not serve cunt, that is true, but he gifted us with "in your bed, she's like to die that way". that was a cunty comeback. robert never did anything cunt-like in his entire life and you're stanning him? tragic
