im not saying that arya isn’t gonna survive the series but in a game of thrones jon comments to her
When the spring thaw comes they will find your body with a needle still locked tight between your frozen fingers
and that doesn’t make me overly optimistic about her chances
friendly reminder that when the brotherhood without banners is taking arya to riverrun she’s afraid her mom won’t want her back because of what she’s done (◡‿◡✿)
❝ [Sansa] remembered a summer’s snow in Winterfell when Arya and Bran had ambushed her as she emerged from the keep one morning. They’d each had a dozen snowballs to hand, and she’d had none. Bran had been perched on the roof of the covered bridge, out of reach, but Sansa had chased Arya through the stables and around the kitchen until both of them were breathless. She might have even caught her, but she’d slipped on some ice. Her sister came back to see if she was hurt. When she said she wasn’t, Arya hit her in the face with another snowball, but Sansa grabbed her leg and pulled her down and was rubbing snow in her hair when Jory came along and pulled them apart, laughing. ❞
