First of all, you are awesome for not having English as your first language and yet making the effort to use it so you can participate in a fandom that mostly on caters to English. Kudos to you ;) I suck so hard at languages, I’d be like oh, just forget it lol
1) Robb is more than a character to me. If you read the ‘about me’ for this blog, it explains in better detail the circumstances around why Robb came to mean so much to me. It was a combination of so many things that are all emotional for me, so it’s better if I just keep them on that page instead of trying to spill them all over this reply lol
~SPOILERS~
2) If someone in your family died you wouldn’t stop loving them, right? You love people for the meaning they bring to your life. You love people for the small moments of laughter. The ability they have to get you through hard periods of your life you’re pretty sure you couldn’t have made it through alone. You love them for the stupid, idiotic mistakes and the pain they put you through. You love them for always being there, even when you’re a jerk. Those experiences that we share, those emotions, don’t get washed away because someone leaves us. In fact, they only get more important. It’s sort of like how…Anne Boleyn and Catherine the Great are both dead, but I still read books about them and learn from their experiences and treasure my understanding of them in their daily lives because it matters to me. And idk…Robb just matters to me.
3) We never lost Robb. We can read the first three books as many times as we want, he still lives on. With every reading he comes alive again. I read the first book pretty often, just because I can never get over how beautifully it’s written and how incredible everyone’s characterization is, especially looking back once you know the endgame (or at least somewhat). Not only that, but like I said in my first reply, me and my best have been rp-ing Stark things for at least two years if not longer (you cannot begin to imagine the extent of our AU’s at this point lol). So, for me, Robb isn’t dead. He’s very much alive. The reminder is there of course, all around me, that in canon he does die. And pretty soon I’ll have to watch that happen on my television. But that doesn’t mean Robb stops existing. He’s fictional! Which is the best part! But Robb and all the Starks are so much bigger than one canon storyline. There’s hundreds of thousands of storylines to examine the characters from. There’s fic, there’s au, there’s rp, there’s fanart, there’s metas, it’s just endless.
4) Which brings me to my biggest point. This blog and you lovely, amazing followers. The fandom itself. That’s why I stick around. ‘Cause I love talking about this stuff with all of you! In a world where I get told by the guys at work that there’s no way in hell I even know what it is to be a nerd, where I get laughed at by the girls for being into a book that isn’t Twilight or 50 Shades, where I get blank stares and scoffs from anyone I try to analyze anything with…I have you guys. And I wouldn’t give this little niche up for anything. You guys are what keeps this fandom alive and you’re all amazing <3
