I know I mostly said it as a joke but what if Lyanna actually had named her child Jonquil (going with the Visenya theory where Rhaegar was convinced it would be a girl) and she's half delirious, telling Ned the name of her baby and he's like..... ok so his name is ..Jon

You think my life is some precious thing to me? I grew up with soldiers. I learned how to die a long time ago.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Sansa Stark and the beautiful metaphors around her character.

In an interview George said Lady represented Sansa’s innocence, her childhood. So in killing Lady essentially Sansa lost those pieces of herself. Hardening her to the world.

I find what’s even more interesting is if we think about Lady in this childhood innocence lens it is Ned who kills Lady as payment to the Lannisters and the King.

Then fast-forward in the book it is Sansa begging Joffrey and the Queen for mercy of her Father’s life just as she begged her Father not to harm Lady. Instead Joffrey mocks her and kills her father anyway.

The show does a great job of showing Ned’s death but when you read it in the book it is all from Arya’s perspective…and one of the only sounds Arya can hear running through the crowd is Sansa.

Sansa screaming, and screaming and wailing for her Father.

It’s really impactful because for me at least reading this I’m thinking ‘Sansa had to witness the entire event…Sansa watched her Father be beheaded. Was held there.’ This is not the case for Arya who can only hear, and smell but cannot see through the crowd.

I guess what is interesting about this to me is Sansa, a poor little girl who watched her Direwolf be killed unjustly is now forced to watch her Father be killed — also unjustly “for honor.”

Sansa is a beautiful character and one of my favorites.
