Arya is more badass than Syrio and Oberyn combined.

Maybe Catelyn is a better example than Robb for a book reader, but that’s kinda what makes the Red wedding actually shockingdurdencommatyler wrote:Wait... did.... did people think those two second things????Mecca wrote:Would fit into the GRRM trope of turning popular tropes on their head. “They can’t kill Ned Stark; he’s the main protagonist” *dies*durdencommatyler wrote:Her infinite total and complete badassery?Mecca wrote:Pretty sure that’s what gets her killeddurdencommatyler wrote:I'm beginning to suspect that my level of love and appreciation for Arya's flat ninja-jedi badassery goes way beyond anyone else's.
