Book Arya Stark - Tumblr Posts
I don't think I've ever wanted two charecters to interact more than I yearn for an (impossible) meeting between Oberyn Martell and Arya Stark.
Arya Stark is the love of my life, so I hope I've captured her nicely in this.
I’m happy to announce that I’ll be hosting Book Gendrya Week from the 5th to the 12th of August 2024. Like with last year’s month this event is for their book relationship, plotlines and the characters themselves. I want to thank my contributors who helped with prompts: @laurellerual & @daceytheshebear. I hope you all will enjoy making gifs, fanfics, meta’s, art, etc. I would ask people participating to not use the show actors.
Please use #bookgendryaweek2024tag so I can find your work :)

Arya Stark Month 2022 - Day 2(Nymeria)
Nymeria and Arya and their foreshadow to leadership.
“You are Arya of Winterfell, daughter of the North. You told me you could be strong. You have the wolf blood in you.”
“That was the best part, the dreaming. She dreamed of wolves most every night. A great pack of wolves, with her at the head. She was bigger than any of them, stronger, swifter, faster. She could outrun horses and outfight lions. When she bared her teeth even men would run from her, her belly was never empty long, and her fur kept her warm even when the wind was blowing cold. And her brothers and sisters were with her, many and more of them, fierce and terrible and hers. They would never leave her.”
Day 16: Skinchanging
As a Stark child (unless of course you’re Sansa) Arya has the magical ability to warg into animals. Like the other Starks, she primarily wargs into her direwolf Nymeria. When she sleeps she goes into Nymeria’s mind and basically becomes Nymeria, seeing the world through her eyes. “She was no little girl in the dream; she was a wolf, huge and powerful, and when she emerged from beneath the trees in front of them and bared her teeth in a low rumbling growl, she could smell the rank stench of fear from horse and man alike. The Lyseni's mount reared and screamed in terror, and the others shouted at one another in mantalk, but before they could act the other wolves came hurtling from the darkness and the rain, a great pack of them, gaunt and wet and silent.” It goes to show that despite being forced to drive Nymeria off to protect her from the Lannisters, their bond is still powerful. Like Jon said Ghost is a part of him, Nymeria is a part of Arya. But Arya’s abilities are not limited to Nymeria. When Arya goes blind she begins warging into a black cat which still allows her to see what is going on. It is significant because the only other Stark who can warg into something other than his direwolf is Bran. This perhaps makes Arya the second most powerful warg of the Stark children after Bran. Imagine what she could do if she learned to control her magical power. And perhaps she could reunite sooner with her favorite person in the world if Ghost and Nymeria reunite first. Jon and Arya can see each other by warging into their wolves if that happens.
rich to say arya is not romantic when she has her tiny cute personal set of morals affection and way of loving someone not based on stories songs or physical feature but more like the way she spends time with someone opens up and gets to know them and vice versa. arya didn't have female friends or someone so close only to her which could share with her stories of knights in armour to save her. she made her own way and is her own knight in armour which really finishes the need for someone to find her only if she can too. arya's love for her father ned to rather bring him flowers and ruin her dress rather than wait for someone to bring her flower and tuck it behind her ear... is so unique and different. she also being bullied or made fun of her facial features given names, would never resort to do the same or like someone purely of their face. she likes outcasts and different people. gendry and jon snow are again good examples. she sees interacts and changes opinions about anyone so she isn't fixated or stubborn. she forgets and let goes too. also if someone like arya who has more ample suitable personality which fulfills the "family duty honor" mantra of her house, more than catelyn, or any other starks, she has more dedication loyalty nobility and love for her people and even her friends like hotpie & weasel, SO how can we or should i say arya antis conclude the same arya would or can not love someone in romantic passionate all loving way or manner too if she does....same for just some friends? arya is also young so this leaves large space to cover and see how grrm steers her story in future but she is the most unique female character bent away from traditionally feminine roles of love and duty. she carves her own path. her gesture of bringing flowers for ned and keeping jon's gift of needle so close to her shows she also finds stability and security and protection in material or physical comforts. arya also has drastically diff love language if we overall notice. she spends time with ppl and doing acts of service or physical work is more of her way to tell someone she is fine with them then just relying on verbal sweet affirmations. love and romance are so broad. and arya strives to like and protect any animal individual or hobby of hers. hard to believe she CANNOT love or find love.
