Comments (87)SPOILERS AHEAD: I believe Young Griff is who they say he is: The son of Rhaegar, snuck out of the Red Keep just in time, raised by Rhaegar's good friend Jon Connington. Am I right? Only time will tell. I don't know what the duck means. One of Young Griff's attendants is a sellsword nicknamed Duck, and I have been confused as to WHY his foster father -- former hand of the king, experienced warrior extrordinaire -- hired someone else to train Young Griff. I mean, he himself is capable, and the more people who know Young Griff's real identity, the more danger he is in. And Tyrion commented that Duck was "less than he seemed". If Jamie showing us the duck isn't a hint that Duck will be important later in the book, I don't know what it means. What Duck might do, however, is anyone's guess. I agree that her time at the Eyrie has been the happiest time of Sansa's adult life. Her childhood was better, of course, but her eyes were also closed to the real world at that point. I agree that Sansa and Tyrion -- even if Sansa were capable of overlooking his physical shortcomings, no pun intended -- are poorly matched. He's much more intellectual than she is, and she is much more social. Too bad the marriage plans for Sansa and Willis fell through; I think that would've been a good thing for her. I'd say her marriage to Tyrion is invalid because it was never consummated, but none of us have read the Seven Pointed Star -- the holy book of their faith -- so we can't say with confidence whether they consider the marriage valid or not. She certainly doesn't seem to consider herself Lady Lannister. Sansa can't lie to Ramsey about being married to Tyrion. If she did, he'd rape her anyway (remember of whom we're speaking), and when he realized she's a virgin, he'd know the marriage wasn't consummated. In the book Ramsey marries Arya, or at least he thinks he does. The truth is that Little Finger sent Jeyne Poole (Sansa's childhood best friend -- remember Little Finger, who owns a bunch of brothels, offered to "find a place" for Jeyne?) to the North wearing Stark colors, with instructions to say she is Arya. Everyone believes the real Arya is dead, so they'll never be caught in their lie. Theon knows, but he is too terrified to tell the truth, even when he sees Ramsey abusing the girl. Why do the Boltons want this marriage so much? They're ravenous to make their stranglehold on the North official, so marrying Ramsey (heir to the Dreadfort, natural son of Roose Bolton) to the girl they believe to be the last living Stark essentially gives them control of the North. In the books, Sansa is still in the Eyrie with Little Finger, who is making plans to marry her to a never-before-mentioned character called Harry the Heir. Through a round-about train of likely events, he is sickly Robin Arryan's heir, so he is almost certain to inherit the Vale and the Eyrie. He is also described as handsome and good, though he likes to run around with the ladies. He will accept Sansa in a heartbeat; first because she's an ideal wife -- beautiful, well-trained to run his household; second because his position would be considerably strengthened by marrying the former lord's niece. Will this happen? Only time will tell. Oh, yes, the books are good! So much better than the movie series! Intricate backplots, complicated characters, and you never quite know who's telling the truth....See MoreYellow Paint help needed for little girls room.
Comments (32)I got sick of my own indecision and after trying about seven different yellow samples I decided I just needed to paint the room. I couldn't tell one thing from another because of the yellow background so I just picked the one that was closest to what I wanted and I'm hoping for the best. At this point, repainting will be cheaper than buying more samples :-) I will make sure to show better after pictures once I finished....See MoreAwkward furniture placement in little girl’s room
Comments (16)Depending upon her age, you could ask your daughter and follow her preference for her room. If the issue for you is the visual of it rather than spacing: With curtains on the window that hide the side window frames, you couldn't tell that wall behind the headboard is not as wide as the headboard. That might help the visual vibe. If you like the no curtain open window look, you could use both sheers and a pair of drape panels for each window and only cover the side window frames, leaving the shears in the middle to "cover" the window itself. Alternately, you could use a double rod and have the sheers on the inner rod and have the option to leave the curtains or drapes open or closed. You might also consider a different option: Change the bed to a metal frame (with wheels) -- without any headboard or foot board -- and use the window to the right of the chest of drawers as a headboard -- leaving the other windows unadorned, use curtains to create a theme at the head of the bed that represents your daughter's current interest....See MoreHelp with a girl room.. 8y
Comments (16)There is always, in ANY room, a first very good solution. Design is first do the thing that frees other decisions. Paint this new furniture white. Doing that will freshen the bedding you selected. It will freshen and bring to life a wall color. It will survive decor changes as she grows and tastes change. The pink may be short lived, so too the faires......Blue walls? Those will far outlast the fairies. Does she love that bedding? FINE! Make a pact with her. "We're going to make you a room you love. We're going to do that together. It's yours, your homework spot, your ALL NIGHT sleep place" Hug and that's the DEAL....See MoreSarah Arsenault
