On my honor as a Tully, on my honor as a Stark.
I must be as strong as my lady mother.

Why I’m ride or die for Catelyn Stark:
- Came to deeply love her husband despite their cultural and religious differences, the fact that she was simply passed from one Stark brother to the next, her husband’s alleged infidelity, and the decision he made without consulting her to raise his bastard son alongside their legitimate children (which would have been humiliating for any wife in Westerosi society)
- Fought off an assassin who was sent to kill Bran with her bare hands
- Consistently argued for peace even though she had every reason to seek revenge against the Lannisters for what they’d done and continued to do to her family
- When she wasn’t able to prevent Robb from going to war, remained with him and advised him to the best of her ability (even though Robb and his bannermen didn’t take her advice as seriously as they should have because of her gender)
- Was the only one who attempted to get Sansa and Arya back when they were captured (she literally had to remind Robb his sisters’ lives were important)
- Despite being a traditionally feminine woman who, for the most part, conformed to her designated gender role, was able to befriend Brienne, a non-traditionally feminine woman who didn’t conform to Westerosi gender roles
- Fought until her dying breath to protect Robb, who she believed to be her last remaining child
- Her last thoughts before her throat was cut were of her love for her husband and children
Life if you want to hate her for being mean to Jon, go ahead, but ffs don’t act like her treatment of Jon is all that defines her as a person. It isn’t.

“I do not think Bran fell from that tower,” she said into the stillness. “I think he was thrown.”
