The Winds of Winter is Coming for Arya Stark

You give D&D too much credit!! But yes there could be something about killing a zombified Cat north of the wall that gave them the idea for her to take out the Night King
I’m pretty sure I saw an interview though where they said the only reason it was Arya was so that it wasn’t Jon, so that the viewers were shocked

I think Arya meets Stoneheart again as Nymeria during the Black wedding. The interaction there kills her Stark connection. She returns to King's Landing as Jeyne Pool(!) on the cusp of Daenerys's arrival. Aegon reigns. Brienne foils her assassination plot and their stories converge with the beginning of Dream of Spring following their journey to Harrenhal with the smallfolk, ostensibly fleeing Dany's armies. It'll be her interaction there with undead King Jon that really tests her identity.

Thinking Arya's early story is better in the show... bro. Bad take. No good very bad take. Arya's story in books 1-3 is fucking FLAWLESS

Edit: seriously, Clash is arguably even tighter than Storm. Every chapter matters. The slow burn dawn of horror as they venture deeper into war... the battle beneath god's eye... the helplessness as she's captured by the Mountain... the Storeroom... arriving at Harrenhal and getting three wishes... and that final chapter that ties it all together. Her Clash arc is more misremembered than all of Feast and Dance combined and we need to fix this!! If you think the Tywin/Arya scenes are an improvement over the book, reread the book. Not even CLOSE

Jons going to be pissed when he finds out Arya killed Dareon💀 The poor kid was falsely accused of rape by a highborn girl and was sent to the wall for it. Jon obviously sent him south so he could desert.

What will the fate be of Tormund’s hostage son, after the death of John Snow?

The evidence that arya is still in there is her kill list. not good reason to think she'll get off the revenge train

I like how ridiculously dark Arya's book story is

i wish lady stoneheart could meet at leats her two daughters

Jaqen told Arya that he owes her three deaths for those she stole from the Red God. I think Arya killing for herself using the Faceless Men's training will obligate her to do a contract no matter who it is... and then a contract for Lady Stoneheart comes along.

Maisie Williams has an incredible ass!

The scenes with Arya and Tywin are great and in a first a glance better than the book scenes were she interact with Roose Bolton, but after reading the books a lot and watching the tv series a couple of times I got to understand that when she share time with Roose is more relevant for her entire arc, when she serves Roose she learns that not every northerner is as honorable and good as his family, understanding that in a war there are no sides that are right or wrong and learning that the common people suffers when war unleashes ,deepening the meaning of the themes that George want to address when he writes Arya: identity, justice, vengeance, family, self love etc.

"i" before "e," except after "c ...

Arya killing Raff may actually not be against believes of the faceless men since he's part of her prayer.

You think WoW is coming huh..??

He keeps referring to a 5 year gap. Is there supposed to be a time skip in TWOW?

I really enjoyed the Tywin & Arya scenes and the extended team up of Arya & the Hound in the shows. Overall though, the books are SOOOOO much better!!

What if the faceless men send her to winterfell to kill Arya stark aka Jayne Poole. What would the faceless men reaction to that kind of switch. Maybe they send her to investigate Jayne Poole and she lands in the river lands

My bet is Arya Stark going to end up as part of the Young Griff plot arc (aka Aegon Targaryen, the believed-dead son of the late Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Princess Elia Martell.) Now we see the Faceless men religion of the God of death Now the and Night King is stealing the dead back from Death that blasphemy
I think Faceless men have own prophecies in play and this why Arya link to faceless men in first place
Now I think to be no-one you have to be some-one all magic has cost and what the cost of taking a face?
I think has cost is robs you of your sense of self and over time you can go mad
So screenning your faceless men by try break there sense of self to make them no one make sure they can handle the price of magic
So in effect if you become no one you fail but if you keep your sense of self then you are some one and you can handle taking the face and handle the loss self this results in this

Next video: Winter is coming in Sansa

She's gonna join stone heart dude. . . It's obvious

After the stark kids do dany and cersei

Theon is like another Stark kid in the beginning, then you could do the rest of the Greyjoys. They all have interesting situations in the released chapters.

Very much

I kinda hope that Arya will turn up at the Golden Wedding (between the Lannister and Frey). Jaime and Brienne convinced Stoneheart and the brotherhood to go there to take her revenge. Arya also goes there, disguised to exact revenge. Having both a Jaime and Arya chapter here would be cool. But Arya giving her mother a mercy kill at this wedding would be full circle for both characters, Stoneheart dies knowing Arya is still alive and Arya gives up revenge after she sees what it did to her mother.

Please do Hotah Quinn!

Step #1: Die
Step #2: Get better

That took me out

Raf killed Lommy right when the mountain’s men captured him, Arya, Gendry and Hot Pie, after they escaped from the battle between the nights watch recruits and Amory Lorch’s men. Not at the battle of oxcross, which we never see directly

Dorne! Winter ought to be coming for them, what’s going to happen with Arianne and their schemes?

i think it would be funny if Aegon captures Arya when she comes to Westeros, cuz of the whole Rhaegar and Lyanna thing. Just wanna speculate how pissed off Connington would be 😂.

I just wanna see her wield Dark Sister. It will probably piss off Dany, cuz that sword is a family heirloom, and , it might also anger Aegon/fAegon.
aaaah... i wonder if theres even enough time for that little drama. I still think two books is still not enough to tie and wrap up every freakin plotpoint.

Also we might learn some lore about the Valyrian immortal slaves. Yes, we already got the first kiss of death and later of a slave master, but they could eventually teach Arya e.g. how to kill an immortal. Maybe she is tasked with killing a red priestess or warlock? While her Riverlands view point might be amazing, we have so few people in the free cities. And making it a bit more obvious that the Faceless men killed the Valyrian empire might be good for the casual readers

💛

Arya became boring in the TV show when they made her the ultimate mary sue. I still have hope for Arya in the books her story and maybe finding out how someone has been used as a cover for her in the marriage with Ramsey will be interesting.

Wasn't Arya playing Shae's role? I remember there was another girl doing the Sansa role.

Another point. Mercy slips and becomes Arya again when she kills Raff. When she says "you think so?" the chapter refers to her as Arya and not as Mercy. Then it goes back to Mercy.

I remember crying on the penultimate Arya chapter in ASOS, when she rips apart a girl's doll because she keeps following her around in the village. Just too much sad moments on that chapter

The 1993 Outline has Caetlyn, Bran & Arya going to Castle Black, and Arya is in a love triangle with Jon & Tyrion. But in the books Catelyn is killed at the Red wedding & becomes Lady Stoneheart ...Bran is has goine beyond the wall and in the Show heads back to Winterfell via Castle Black ...but Arya never has a love triangle with Jon & Tyrion .. and never goes to Castle Black. However ... Sansa who was suppose to marry Joffrey & have a child ... marries Tyrion and in the show Sansa goes to Castle seeking Jon, and the two ( who are cousins & Jon is a Prince) start to care for & love each other.

So George obviously decided to only have Bran & Sansa .... go to Castle Black ... seeking Jon. And turned Catelyn into Lady Stoneheart.

It could be that Bran & Arya allow Lady Stoneheart to rest in Peace as well as reveal Jon is not Ned's basterd but a targaryen prince.

And Arya goes to Kinglanding and kills Cersei with her bare hands and Jaime's

Arya is likely killed by the Night King at Winterfell

If the Night King conquered Westeros and then, as he tried to sit on the Iron Throne, slip, fell on a sword and died impaled, it wouldve made more sense than Arya killing him

I still don’t rule out the possibility that Jon and Arya end up in a romantic relationship by the end of the story like in George’s original draft. Some of their statements as they think about one another in previous books comes off as lovers thinking of each other.

those tywin scenes genuinly ruined the character, thank god that was not in the books. it makes no sense for tywin to be friendly to a random girl he finds in harrenhall and also to make her his cup bearer??? like you have to be smoking crack if you think thats better. i get it that charles dance is so good that he makes everything watchable but that is season 7 level of writing. i guess for a big actor they needed more screentime. also that non statement of "arya story is slow in clash" is just dumb ngl

I mean.. Are we sure that the winds of winter is coming out at all?

Do winter is coming for Aggo next

I always thought Mercy was playing Shae in "The Bloody Hand" and her friend played Sansa. Sansa was the one who got her dress ripped open in court (Her friend needs to keep getting her costume dress resewn), and Shae was the one who claimed in court that Tyrion raped her. Doesent really matter though :)

Think she goes to casterly rock, the riverlands, then the vale or winterfell. Maybe she takes Jaimes face and kills cersei but I think Jaime will do that by himself. Do davos or sam next

I could see a big time gap happening in winds, not as much as 5 years most likely but I imagine we'll see stannis' host tearing one another apart once they're behind the walls of winterfell and realize they don't have the real arya. Jon will likely become lord of winterfell if he's revived, first with stannis' decree which northmen will resent and then once robb's will is revealed they will rally to jon. Plenty of people think the harry hardyng will die which I don't disagree with but I think sansa will become lady of the vale anyway and marry Aegon so he can secure the vale and she can secure support for her claim over winterfell. Dany is like to fight Aegon too so I could see this war for the north being the catalyst for Jon and dany becoming a single faction.

The Winds of Winter is coming for Stannis 🙏🙏🙏
