i just love the idea of the stark kids making a comeback and being absolute monsters.

like house stark is basically fucking gone and the heirs are everywhere but winterfell. they have all had major personal growth and major trauma done to them so now they are so tired and will take zero shit.

also special shout out to nymeria you really are the backbone of the stark PR team really selling the ominous stark comeback and giving westeros a taste of what the starks are gonna do.

the stark kids are the reflection of war. the cold ugly truth is clear on their faces of what war does.

I see a lot of modern AU give the stark’s huskies or some wolf dog hybrid species. Forgetting the fact that in a modern au, the Starks should be rich(past high Lord= modern billionaires). And all billionaires and their children are clinically insane because of all their money. Therefore, they should actually have wolves, and if the setting has medium fantasy, they should own dire wolves. and people are really sleeping on how funny this would be, because imagining them bringing their friends back home having never mentioned the fact, they owned wolves and not understanding why their friends are freaking out is hilarious.

A low rumbling growl rose from Summer's throat, and there was no play in it. He stalked forward, all teeth and hot eyes. Meera stepped between the wolf and her brother, spear in hand.

The Reed siblings and direwolves as depicted in the Finnish special edition of A Clash of Kings illustrated by Petri Hiltunen.

A Game of Thrones, Catelyn III

Outside the tower, a wolf began to howl. Catelyn trembled, just for a second.

“Bran’s.” Robb opened the window and let the night air into the stuffy tower room. The howling grew louder. It was a cold and lonely sound, full of melancholy and despair.

“Don’t,” she told him. “Bran needs to stay warm.”

“He needs to hear them sing,” Robb said.

Somewhere out in Winterfell, a second wolf began to howl in chorus with first. Then a third, closer. “Shaggydog and Grey Wind,” Robb said as their voices rose and fell together. “You can tell them apart if you listen close.”

Do Direwolves Dream of Sheep?

"Wolves and women wed for life," Haggon often said. "You take one, that's a marriage. The wolf is part of you from that day on, and you're part of him. Both of you will change." - Varamyr, ADwD

So we know that the more Arya and Jon warg into their direwolves the stronger they become as wargs. Arya who is able to warg across great distances has now advanced to the next level and skinchanged the cat in AFfC. In ADwD Jon is able to taste blood while awake because Ghost has just fed.

However, as Varamyr points out, surely the direwolves would also change from having the consciousness of these wargs in them.

I am curious about the wolf dreams in particular. Searching the interwebs and the wiki on warging, while mentioning the wolf dreams, does not go into the details of what that actually means.

In some cases it’s pretty simple. Arya’s wolf ‘dreams’ are her warging Nymeria in the Riverlands.

The smell of blood was heavy in her nostrils… or was that her nightmare, lingering? She had dreamed of wolves again, of running through some dark pine forest with a great pack at her hells, hard on the scent of prey.

...

Except in dreams. She took a breath to quiet the howling in her heart, trying to remember more of what she'd dreamt, but most of it had gone already. There had been blood in it, though, and a full moon overhead, and a tree that watched her as she ran. -TWOW, Mercy

Since Arya and Jon don’t really understand warging they assume they are dreaming when they warg into their direwolves while sleeping. I am assuming here that warging is some kind of astral projection like phenomenon where one’s consciousness takes over that of the animal. So while Arya assumes it’s a dream, it’s not really one is it? It’s Arya warging into Nymeria across sea and land and vast distances. Jon assumes the same of what is happening with him and Ghost:

The wolf dreams had been growing stronger, and he found himself remembering them even when awake. Ghost knows that Grey Wind is dead. Robb had died at the Twins, betrayed by men he’d believed his friends, and his wolf had perished with him. Bran and Rickon had been murdered too, beheaded at the behest of Theon Greyjoy, who had once been their lord father’s ward … but if dreams did not lie, their direwolves had escaped. At Queenscrown, one had come out of the darkness to save Jon’s life. Summer, it had to be. His fur was grey, and Shaggydog is black. He wondered if some part of his dead brothers lived on inside their wolves. - Jon, ADwD

Now here is the tricky part. Does Ghost know that Grey Wind is dead or is it Jon Snow through Ghost who senses that Grey Wind is dead? Is it the direwolf’s consciousness that knows this or Jon’s? If Jon’s consciousness leaves Ghost, does Ghost still know that Grey Wind is dead?

When he [Jon] closed his eyes, he dreamed of direwolves.

There were five of them when there should have been six, and they were scattered, each apart from the others. He felt a deep ache of emptiness, a sense of incompleteness. The forest was vast and cold, and they were so small, so lost. His brothers were out there somewhere, and his sister, but he had lost their scent. He sat on his haunches and lifted his head to the darkening sky, and his cry echoed through the forest, a long lonely mournful sound. As it died away, he pricked up his ears, listening for an answer, but the only sound was the sigh of blowing snow. - Jon, ACoK

Far off, he could hear his packmates calling to him, like to like. They were hunting too. A wild rain lashed down upon his black brother as he tore at the flesh of an enormous goat, washing the blood from his side where the goat’s long horn had raked him. In another place, his little sister lifted her head to sing to the moon, and a hundred small grey cousins broke off their hunt to sing with her. The hills were warmer where they were, and full of food. Many a night his sister’s pack gorged on the flesh of sheep and cows and horses, the prey of men, and sometimes even on the flesh of man himself. - Jon, ADwD

So is this Jon in Ghost reaching out to Nymeria and Shaggydog and feeling that sense of incompleteness without the rest of Ghost’s siblings? Or is it Jon sensing that incompleteness in Ghost and sensing/feeling Ghost reaching out to his siblings?

As in, do these abilities to sense and literally see what the other direwolves are doing come from warging or is it the direwolves who are doing this and it’s Jon’s consciousness in Ghost seeing what Ghost is seeing with respect to what Nymeria and Shaggydog are doing?

If it is warging, does Arya have to be warging Nymeria and Rickon warging Shaggydog at the same time for Jon warging Ghost to sense them by connecting through fellow wargs?

For example, Bran is clearly in some of these wolf ‘dreams’ when Jon and Arya warg into Ghost and Nymeria.

There had been blood in it, though, and a full moon overhead, and a tree that watched her as she ran. -TWOW, Mercy

Jon? The call came from behind him, softer than a whisper, but strong too. Can a shout be silent? He turned his head, searching for his brother, for a glimpse of a lean grey shape moving beneath the trees, but there was nothing, only…

A weirwood. Red eyes looked at him. Fierce eyes they were, yet glad to see him. The weirwood had his brother's face. Had his brother always had three eyes? - Jon, ACoK

Is it just that Jon, Arya and Bran are all warging at the same time in their sleep and hence able to connect across these warging dreams? I am assuming Westeros and Essos fall in the same time zone and day/night occurs at the same time. In which case they would be asleep at the same time while their wolves are up and doing all sorts of killing.

Do Ghost, Nymeria, Summer and Shaggydog dream when they sleep? What happens when the Stark kids warg into sleeping direwolves?

In ACoK, we get this from Bran when Summer is restrained in the Godswood:

"If I were truly a direwolf, I would understand the song, he thought wistfully. In his wolf dreams, he could race up the sides of mountains, jagged icy mountains taller than any tower, and stand at the summit beneath the full moon with all the world below him, as it used to be." - Bran, ACoK

Is this Summer’s dreams that Bran is experiencing?

There’s also an indication that Shaggydog and Rickon are changing each other:

Shaggydog had come slavering out of the darkness like a green-eyed demon. The wolf was near as wild as Rickon; he'd bitten Gage on the arm and torn a chunk of flesh from Mikken's thigh. - Bran, AGoT

I wonder if GRRM has kept this deliberately vague for now and more will be revealed in later books or if it’s intended to be a deliberately vague magic system where the effects on the Direwolves from all this warging is not ever addressed. It’s certainly interesting though.

So I had an idea... and I did a thing... pretty much the idea was that instead of getting pet direwolves the Starks (including Jon) were werewolves. Anyway that spiralled into the kids looking like their direwolves and because I can’t draw I photoshopped it. The pics are really bad so sry lol

Some of their aesthetics (?) are based on the show, some on the book and some in other specific fan art. (I gave Sansa a blue bow cus she gave lady one)

The fanart in question ^

And yes I know, Jon looks deranged and Sansa looks like Cersi sorry bro, that’s just how the cookie crumbled

rickon is dead or so far gone from being a human. bran is told not to change into summer too often or he’ll forget what it means to be human. no one is there to teach rickon about warging and if he is with the skagosi they are not going to teach him to control his skin changing abilities. if and when they find him he’ll be useless. we get little hints to what happened to him throughout the story but this kid is not going to be worth finding.

he is most likely a cannibal that is more wolf than boy and will not even remember who he was before. he doesn’t remember winterfell or his mother or father. he doesn’t have that connection. all he has his wolf that reminds him who he is. but that’s not enough.
