Any specific question for head!canon or just anything about Robb?

If it's anything, I think by the time of the RW, Robb regretted marrying Jeyne but would never admit it to anyone, including himself. I think he kind of realized that although she was a sweet girl and I do think he genuinely cared for her, she was incredibly unequipped to be a queen - and that it wasn't HER fault, but he desperately needed and wanted someone who he could rely on when he needed to stop being strong for a few moments. I think his parents had such a partnership in running Winterfell that he just automatically assumed things would be that way when he married, but Jeyne was raised differently. And I think he would have stayed true to her, been good to her, but there would always be a bit of him that resented her for all that she wasn't, and an even larger bit of him that resented himself for resenting her.

thread-jumping because I really like this. I do think that Robb cared about Jeyne, but the whole point of their arc is that it's the opposite of a "love story"--and I can totally see Robb regretting his entire series of choices later on (and unfairly directing some of his resentment and regret towards Jeyne).

I just remembering poor Jeyne coming to Cat and being like "I don't know what to do, I don't know how to comfort him." I definitely think that by the RW it seemed like Robb was coming around to "uh oh what did I dooooo."

1. Brynden Tully
2. What did he think about the prospective and actual matches for his nieces: Brandon, Jaime, Petyr, Ned, Jon Arryn?

[juno_chan]

Ooooh this is such a good one! =D

[fields195]

Your Brandon response is my favorite, XD! I totally agree that Brynden would have had Brandon's number, and I love the image of him teaching his nieces how to defend themselves. You're right that Cat surely learned how to use that dagger from someone, and Brynden seems a likely prospect! As much as we give Brandon a hard time, I agree that it's possible that he could have grown into a better man if he had matured

Sansa.

I'll take anything on Sansa.

[juno_chan]

Omg I have so much Sansa head!canon

[fields195]

Jumping in here to say I love all this Sansa headcanon! Sansa's resemblance to her mother is simultaneously great and tragic. I agree that she would have loved it during her childhood in Winterfell, and it's become one more thing that has been tarnished by the horrible people she's met since. And Sansa/Ned's relationship is the cutest! Sansa's naive romanticism makes perfect sense given her sheltered upbringing, which offers her a very limited picture of what lords and noble marriages are all about. I love her!

Oooooooh

any Bran headcanon? (I love Bran. <3)

[juno_chan]

Braaaaan!

I think Bran was the most difficult pregnancy and birth of all the Stark babies, and that's one of the reasons he's so dear to Catelyn (for other reasons as well, of course!).

I think Bran loved playing knights and ladies when he was little and Arya absolutely refused unless she got to be the knight, so Sansa indulged him. While I think Sansa was closest to Robb of her siblings, I think Bran was next and she was kind of a 'mini-mother' to him. I think when he was still little enough to be afraid of the dark sometimes, but old enough that he was embarrassed to wake up his parents, he would sneak into Sansa's room sometimes.

this is adorable! different from my headcanon for him, but I love it anyway.

I'd love to hear your Bran headcanon! =D
