Totally agree
If Arya gets LittleFinger’s dagger made of the Valyriansteel in season 7, doesn’t that mean she can join Jon in the fight against the white walkers?
All I want is for Arya to come to Jon’s rescue on the back of Nymeria, shouting “FOR WINTERFELL!!”, and then stabbing the Night King right in the face like she did with Ser Meryn Trant.
Jon would be so proud.
This is Gold PURE GOLD
“He pleaded with tose sea-green eyes, like a cute baby seal that needed help. Piper wondered how (the f*ck) Annabeth ever won an argument with this guy.” I’m so happy I drew this lmao

Arya is not the cold-blooded, pleasure seeking killer that the showrunners, and the majority of fandom, like to portray her as. She has never been happy about the killing she’s had to do to survive, the killing she’s had to do to stay with the faceless men because she thinks she has no where else to go, the killing she’s done out of a sense of justice against those who’ve harmed her and others (Raff) and those she’s been taught to view as the most dangerous of all men (Dareon, the Night’s Watch deserter).
More often than not, Arya has felt shame for what she’s done, so much so, that her kills haunt her all the way in ADWD when she’s trying, and failing, to become no one. She must justify to herself why these people deserve their deaths and she’s never *happy* about any of it. She has felt empty, hopeless, weak because nothing she can do will ever bring her parents, her family, back to her.
A few instances where Arya reflects on the killings, and the blatant shame, fear, guilt she feels when thinking of how her father, mother, brother, and others would react:
Yoren didn’t know about the stableboy, but she was afraid of what he might do if he found out…
-Arya, ACoK
Arya told of Yoren and their escape from King’s Landing as well, and much that had happened since, but she left out the stableboy she’d stabbed with Needle, and the guard whose throat she’d cut to get out of Harrenhal. Telling Harwin would be almost like telling her father, and there were some things that she could not bear having her father know.
-Arya, ASoS
Arya didn’t know how much Robb would pay for her, though. He was a king now, not the boy she’d left at Winterfell with snow melting in his hair. And if he knew the things she’d done, the stableboy and the guard at Harrenhal and all. “What if my brother doesn’t want to ransom me?”
-Arya,ASoS
And her lady mother, what would she say? Would she still want her back, after all the things she’d done? Arya chewed her lip and wondered.
-Arya, ASoS
In fact, the small amount of comfort she ever has about her kills is this:
Jon wouldn’t care who I killed or whether I brushed my hair…
-Arya, ASoS
Finally, all the way in ADWD, she is still unable to forget the killing, she hasn’t found any peace, relief, happiness, fulfillment, etc. It’s clear that it’s all taken a heavy toll on her, and it is not something she will ever be okay with:
Yet there was the black singer, there the stableboy she’d killed with Needle, there the pimply squire from the crossroads inn, and over there the guard whose throat she’d slashed to get them out of Harrenhal. The Tickler hung on the wall as well, the black holes that were his eyes swimming with malice. The sight of him brought back the feel of the dagger in her hand as she had plunged it into his back, again and again and again.
-Arya, ADWD
Bottomline, killing is an incredibly traumatic, confusing, and more times than not, necessary part of Arya’s arc. It isn’t this cut and dry action that leaves her feeling satisfied or happy.
And just as a sidenote, I never see any comments about Jaime Lannister killing people, Jon Snow, Stannis Baratheon, Ned Stark, Sandor Clegane. Yet the few kills Arya has, most of whom were out of survival, ALL of whom were dangerous, horrible people, automatically brings out the tumblr MDs trying to diagnose her with sociopathy or psychopathy, or the ~concerned fans~ about her loss of humanity.
It’s funny, because Arya is actually one of the few people who understands the worth of life. When she saves Jaqen, Rorge, Biter from the fire, when she’s concerned about creatures like fleas, LITERAL FLEAS, in her clothes dying, when she witnesses countless deaths and desecrated bodies and is forced to realize just how quickly lives can end, when she witnesses the resurrection of Beric and asks if her father’s life can be restored as well, when she’s concerned about giving Yoren a proper burial. But God forbid this little girl wants the monsters responsible for the massacre of her family, for the abuse she’s endured, for the horrible atrocities she’s seen committed, dead. I guess when it’s a female character wanting justice, it makes her too far gone, but when it’s a male character, it makes him a hero.
Love it😍😍😍
Davos: I was talking to your sister, Lady Arya, Your Grace. A very interesting young lady.
Jon: *proud smile* She is, isn’t she?
Davos: Indeed. I told her I saved Gendry’s life once. I also told her I kept you safe while you were being revived.
Jon: And?
Davos: She told me I had stolen two deaths from the Many-Faced God, and that I could name any two people I wanted, and she’d kill them for me.
Jon: …
Davos: She added not to bother wasting one of my names on Melisandre, since she’s already marked her for death.
Jon: !!!
Davos: I quite like her, Your Grace.
Davos: But she’s fucking terrifying.
Thank you!!

Arya:*flips hair* i would take my 50 direwolves home and live like a queen. I’d trust Nymeria would have made herself the alpha by then.

Tyrion: I didn’t make this a competition but she just won… somehow
Im in a deep shit ocean of feels bc of this fanfic
It wasn’t like Annabeth hadn’t been warned about him.
In New Rome, there was just one unofficial rule to surviving and thriving for demigods and mortals alike.
Avoid the son of Neptune. At all costs.
I usually dont like Arya Snow and Jon Stark fics but this one i do like love.. So I recommend it. Even tho it seems to be on a break

AU where Jon is the true born son of Ned Stark and Arya is the ‘bastard’ brought home from war. Growing up as the female bastard of a great lord Arya was always told by her step-mother that there was only one path to happiness for her - to grow into a beautiful accomplished woman and convince some lowly, aged bannerman that her father’s favor was worth the shame of taking a bastard as a wife. From the moment she was brought to Winterfell Catelyn Stark began to count down the days until she could be pushed out of the castle and into the arms of a husband. But her father, thank the Gods, loved her enough not to rush that day and her brother Jon did all that he could to see that no one thought that their advances would be appreciated. But one day Winterfell is visited by someone Jon can’t scare away, someone even her father has a hard time saying no to. And that is the day when Arya Snow’s life changed forever.
