Stark Defender For LIFE - Tumblr Posts

Every time Rickon future is mentioned, there's someone that seems to be so sure that he'll return like this cartoonish savage, a wild child that bites at random. In short, someone who will not be able to integrate into civil society (where have I heard this before?).

But why? Simply because he was raised by wildlings? We met the wildlings, we met Osha, she is not a madwoman who cannot control herself... She simply has different values from those of the kneelers, but she is perfectly capable of functioning in Winterfell and interacting with people.

And in my opinion Shaggydog's influence is not a sufficient explanation for this characterization. In fact, I think that Rickon, living with people who know what a warg is, has a good chance of receiving an education about it and learning to control this power.

I'm sure he can survive in his role even without knowing etiquette by heart.
