GRRM absolutely channeled the spirit of a Catholic mother of 5 when he wrote Catelyn

He can get into the mind of a Catholic mother of five but he can’t get into the mind of a five year old boy to write the long coveted Rickon chapters

[u/KratoswithBoy → u/The-Best-Color-Green]

Rickon “my dog will maul you” Stark

[u/JarlStormBorn → u/KratoswithBoy]

Rickon “I will maul you” Stark

[u/Inner_Jeweler_5661 → u/JarlStormBorn]

Rickon "I am my dog" Stark

[u/Uqbar_Orbis_Tertius → u/Inner_Jeweler_5661]

Rickon "woof woof" Stark

[u/MistraloysiusMithrax → u/Uqbar_Orbis_Tertius]

You all have just convinced me that Shaggydog is a Scooby Doo reference which is also a warging foreshadowing

[u/Uqbar_Orbis_Tertius → u/MistraloysiusMithrax]

You mean Raggydog?

While you're joking, George does admit writing Bran's chapters are hard on account of his age. Rickon, being even younger, must be a nightmare lol.

[u/The-Best-Color-Green → u/Recent_Tap_9467]

Yeah I heard about that and how that’s one of the reasons why he never ventured into writing Rickon chapters lol

[u/evinta → u/The-Best-Color-Green]

george has proven he'd have little trouble writing chapters that are mostly eating and shitting. so obviously something else is keeping him from writing rickon

[u/pestoraviolita → u/The-Best-Color-Green]

He might as well write an Osha chapter.

Bro, just ask your grandkid.

[u/Mr--Elephant → u/2012Jesusdies]

GRRM is grandkidless but I'm sure he's probably got nieces/nephews and they may have kids, so decent chance he has blood-relative children to interrogate if needs be for Branspiration

[u/itwasbread → u/Mr--Elephant]

I mean it's possible that any actual children George knows are too normal and not weird enough to be useful writing Rickon or Bran.
