Hmm. I wonder if that will be a thing. From what I've learnt about GRRM, it should be, shouldn't it?
Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In the books it's strongly implied that Nymeria is still out there in the wild somewhere. Bran/Summer are kind of telepathic with all the other wolves and can sense her in their dreams.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There were random backgroundy people talking about the danger from wolves in the region for a while, though I think maybe not since the Red Wedding. Because that is juicier gossip.

Yeah, this season I could swear that he sounds different.
His first scene back he was full-on Irish, and I was like. "Wait, what? I didn't think Littlefinger was Irish before. Is my memory that bad?" It's been drifting around the British Isles since then.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
People have been commenting on his wandering accent since the first season.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm not completely convinced he has a long-term goal other than get everything he didn't have as a child
This is wild to me. He is potentially risking his life at every turn.

But you'd also be risking your life just standing around minding your own business in Westeros. Might be riskier, even.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
so, perhaps. I am trying to get a sense of how stable things were before the first ep of the series.

Oh, good point, yes. They did seem more stable to the casual observer, I guess - one king, not actually at war. Littlefinger was privy to the whole "there are still Targaryens out there and they must die" thing that Robert had going on, right?
Also, I think he's the kind of guy who is absolutely certain he will not get caught.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
note: I am not trying to contradict your points. I haven't read the books, so I am trying to suss out GRRM's larger themes and if his point is that nearly all characters have fatal flaws and have weaknesses being leaders.
I personally don't care about spoilers FYI. I am still barely hanging on with all the characters but it is better than S1.
