EPISODE 81 – ARYA, PART 4

Posted on October 23, 2023 | Leave a comment

Covering Arya’s arc from her final post-Red Wedding chapters in ASOS, through her five chapters set in Braavos, we explore the development of Arya’s unique skill set — skinchanging, face-changing and other disciplines taught at the House of Black and White, combined with an undiminished need for vengeance. Along the way we identify the many ways that Arya Stark remains Arya even as she insists she has become No-One.

EPISODE 55 – TWOW PRIMER, PART 2 – JOURNEYS

Posted on June 2, 2020 | Leave a comment

Our series recapping all the arcs, threads, and theories of what will be happening in the beginning of TWoW continues with a look at some characters we expect to be making Journeys in TWoW. We begin with Bran, north of the Wall, then visit Arya in Braavos and Sansa in the Vale, and conclude with Davos and Rickon. Along the way we address who is Coldhands, why Arya will need yet another new identity early in TWoW, a tourney in the Vale, and why fans are convinced Davos and Rickon are on Skagos. All this and more, as we refresh our view of what’s going on with the Stark siblings.

EPISODE 01 – ARYA – A GIFT OF MERCY

Posted on June 23, 2014 | Leave a comment

Looking at Arya Stark in The Winds of Winter, yolkboy and Lady Gwyn analyse Arya in her new role with Izembaro. The recent gift chapter reveals themes of sexuality, identity and (as the chapter title indicates) mercy. Using specially arranged readings to present key sections, we discuss Arya’s identity, the role she plays in “The Bloody Hand” and why we think Needle makes an appearance late in the chapter. We also offer our unique speculation about Arya’s future and a new role her Faceless Men training could be preparing her for.
