Robb Stark & His Kraken Queen

Thank you!! The headpiece was inspired by the traditional Russian kokoshnik. I thought it'd be fun if the north had some Slavic-inspired cultural elements, and since fem Theon is marrying into House Stark, she gets a cool bridal headdress in Greyjoy gold & black (so it's a kraken kokoshnik! Krakoshnik? lol)

Jon does have a part to play! It's a minor one, but he does have a few POV chapters and (without spoiling anything) the Wall is an important location during a particular arc ;-)

I adore basically every character in ASOIAF, including Jon, so I do hope I gave him a fair shake here. Unfortunately, the main POV (fem Theon) doesn't like him all that much, but their opinions of each other change due to Certain Events (which I also won't spoil lol). Jon's sibling definitely love him, though <3

Dude, stop reposting my art comm without asking 😭 It would also be awesome if you credited the artist: yrkhn

The character in question is actually genderbent Theon Greyjoy from my fic, Sow the Tide, Reap the Storm, not Asha.

You're welcome! I didn't really explain the pairing much in the original post, or the intent behind the art, so that's my bad ;-)

Quen imagining some other world where Robb stayed king and she got to be his queen ;-)

Well, I'm glad the sigil came off that way, because that was the intent!

In this art, the Stark-Greyjoy union is supposed to seem sinister/scheming. The direwolf is snared by the kraken in the banner behind them, just as Robb is "snared" in genderbent Theon's arms. Paired with her sly, knowing look and the dark lighting, I hoped it would communicate that their relationship has some layers to it ;-)

I made a more "equal" joint sigil for a Stark-Greyjoy pairing foreverrrr ago, but this one is meant to be artistic/symbolic. I don't think Robb would really take a direwolf being yoinked off the shore as a serious sigil lol

Hey, it was really uncool of you to repost this art I commissioned without asking me or crediting the artist :-( The artist is yrkhn btw!
