TL;DR warning, So anyways today I wanted to give you all my full proof for why I believe if Arya ends up with anyone (yes that is an IF) it will be Gendry, Yes I believe that IF Arya ends up being with anyone I believe it will be the blacksmith Gendry. So let’s get started:
- Okay so first one of the interesting themes that people miss is that most of the romances in the Story (the Healthy Ones by the way) have always been between a highborn and a lowborn. Jon and Ygritte, Sam and Gilly, to some extent Tyrion and Shae, Robb and Talisa (sorry if I butchered the name (though yes I am aware her character is extremely different in the books)), and finally Tormund and the bear that ate his private area off that may or may not be Maege Mormont (though if it was Maege Mormont that will probably be a book only thing). You could also argue Lyanna is not as highborn compared to the man, the myth, the legend, Rhaegar Targaryen, Same Argument for Ned and Cat….Kindof (I say kindof because technically they are both from Highborn families even though Tully’s aren’t really as big as a house as house Stark it’s hard to explain), And Arya is a highborn while Gendry is a lowborn. Arya has also lived amongst lowborns most of her life as well.
- Also Arya is said to look like Lyanna
- It was stated awhile ago I think that Gendry was brought back for a very important role, Now this will probably be forging Steel needed to fight the others and the wights but I think it could be for another reason, and that reason could be a possible romance with Arya.
- In Season 3 Arya stats that she can be his family and Gendry replies no you would be my lady. Okay so this can be seen as evidence on it’s own but also if you bring in the fact that Maisie Williams (the actress who plays Arya) was told to say it as if she was telling Gendry she loves him.
- Also fair to mention Arya had obviously checked out Gendry at Harrenhal when he had his shirt off (God I wish I had Abs like that) and also Apparently In the books Gendry watched Arya pee (or was it the other way around, I don’t know if that is true though so if someone can confirm this would be grateful).
- This come full circle with Robert’s line in S1 that he had a son, Ned had a daughter, and they would join houses. Except rather then it being Sansa and Joffrey (Ugh, even saying his name makes me want to punch that little blonde brat in the face) it would be through Arya and Gendry.
- Also if Jon ends up dying in battle and Dany dies in Childbirth (NOT saying that is there fates just saying out of example sake) then maybe Arya a Stark and Gendry a Baratheon could raise the targaryen children of Jon and Dany
- Gendry would also be in my opinion a fair husband and let Arya be whom she wants to be and not be forced into the role of a lady
- Also it come full circle with Robert betrothal to Lyanna.
- Now you are probably wondering why I see Gendry as a better fit and not Jon, Well a few reasons actually, and before you start YES I am aware Gendry is a around the same age as Jon and all that other stuff in the books that implies Jonrya but let me explain my two wait no three things going against Jonrya. For one Jon and Arya grew up believing they were brother and sister meaning even if they were revealed to be cousins they would still not act on Incest, secondly There is nor real setup for Arya and Jon in the show, if there was more forshadowing to it I could see it being a possible thing. But they didn’t, and finally isn’t it alittle convenient that Jon is a Targ like his father and Arya is said to look like Lyanna….What I am trying to say is that the idea of Jon and Arya getting together is a red herring created by GRRM with all the parallels between it and Rhaegar and Lyanna and also the fact the GRRM himself scrapped the idea before making the final version of the series. It would make more sense story wise if Arya ended up with Gendry (IF she decides to hook up with anyone anyways)
- Speaking of age we got to talk about the elephant in the room, The Age difference. Arya is much younger then Gendry though back then I don’t really think it matter (well okay I can imagine there is a certain age were there too young to be married off back then but still though, Woman did get married at very young ages back then, NOT saying it was right but it was common), another thing is Arya in the show. Now I think they did not only age up Arya in the show (as she looks alittle older then her book counterpart and the actress who plays her is literally 21 years old) but also look at the way the present Arya in S7 when she whined out to spray with Brienne, the way it was shot kindof seemed like the person had a change in style (obviously because she is in actual fighting gear) but also the fact that…Okay is it me or is Arya starting to stand out alittle more, as in she’s starting to look more pretty (I mean Hot Pie said it himself).
- Yes the actor who plays Gendry has stated that he feels uncomfortable on the subject of Arya/Gendry hook up but A lot the actors probably had to play out uncomfortable scenes or scenes that made them uncomfortable. Also Maisie has stated she is a fan of the Arya and Gendry shipping
- I feel there relationship would be very healthy and non-incestous. Also the fact they were friends the last they saw each other.
- Ned stated that she would marry a king and rule his castle, in the show they change it too you will marry a High Lord and rule his castle though this could still mean Arya could marry the King (Gendry) and rule his castle, And in the show Arya could somehow become queen and marry the High Lord of Storm’s end (Gendry) and rule his castle.
