Question:

Is Ashara Dayne x Arthur Dayne a thing? Because...I kind of feel like it could be.

May not have much time to write, but I have time to read!

Jonsa Fics - Fluff

Modern AU - Short

Baby, It’s Cold Outside [Link] | Tate | It starts at one of Robb’s Christmas parties, with Harry Hardyng and a kiss Sansa’s avoiding. The two that follow are another story altogether.

Like real people do [Link] | Snacky | 2,749 | For the Twelve Days of Christmas project, have an AU Sansa Stark and Jon Snow doing one of those “first kiss” videos.

What’s your name / who’s your daddy? [Link] | kattyshack | 3,960 | When Sansa confides the trouble she faces with unwanted — but nevertheless persistent — suitors at her family’s many high-class events, Jon offers his assistance as her fake boyfriend. He figures that, for once, his mild (but not at all chill) romantic obsession with Sansa will do them both some good.

Modern AU - Long

The Best Part of Waking Up [Link] | Jillypups | 5,619 | After a long stint up in Alaska doing manly things, Jon Snow comes back to the Stark family home where he spent nearly all of his childhood, where he called the Stark kids brother and sister. But things change after a few years go by.

Emotional consequences of romantic expressionism [Link] | pentaghastly | 5,824 | And thus ends the incredibly awkward, entirely convoluted, not-quite-friendship of Jon Snow and Sansa Stark. (So, yeah, all of the best things in life have endings. Which is why, without a doubt, her crush on Jon Snow has to be one of the worst.)

Chateau lobby #4 (in C for two virgins) [Link] | pentaghastly | 6,796 | Sansa Stark is, to her very core, a believer. She believes in the healing properties of amethyst and lavender. She believes that Jon Snow is an absolute, unmitigated ass. Of that, she’s certain.

Subject: La Bamba [Link] | GhostofBambi | 16,441 | Trust Margaery Tyrell to turn Sansa Stark’s 21st birthday party into an exercise in matchmaking.

Westeros

Wedding Feast [Link] | noqueenbutthequeeninthenorth | I meant to do some jealous!Jon and silly, tipsy Sansa but somehow the drinking fell by the wayside and it just became a super fluffy wedding feast fic.

Soft and Sweet and Never Demanding [Link] | thimbleful | 2,078 | A fluffy one shot taking place after Jon returns to Winterfell, post s7, in which Sansa realizes how she feels for him (and finds out he feels the same).

Fairy Tales [Link] | Meghadoota | 5,775 | It is something of a ritual for them - Sansa telling their daughter bedtimes stories of all the Starks they’ve loved and lost, tales of love and laughter and courage and family, until one little story tale makes Sansa realize that her love for her lord husband isn’t quite as unrequited as she thought it is.

Patient Bullheaded & Sneaky [Link] | thimbleful | 6,240 | When Jon’s moping over the truth about his parents, Tormund kindly points out how cousin marriage is a thing in Westeros. Just to cheer him up. And if he also gets Jon very, very drunk and suggests that he steals Sansa, well, what’s the harm in that?

I love how the books are their own complete sociological study. The reaction throughout the readership tells a lot.

I've seen this tweet yesterday and it annoyed me. I don't know if they're serious or trying to be funny. But idk... why do people put the blame on a child and not the adults around her ?

Sandor Clegane was charged by Cersei to find and kill Mycah. And he actually killed him without much problem and didn't seem to feel guilty when Ned asked him about it. Plus, when Sansa lied to Robert, poor Mycah was already dead. So both Cersei and Sandor should be blamed for his death. I'd even add that in the books, Sansa told Ned everything about what happened and he didn't do much either. But I don't see people blaming them either.

About Lady... it's never presented to Sansa, not even once that Lady could have died. And everyone was surprised that Cersei would ask for her death from Arya, to Ned and even Robert. Lady was killed because Cersei wanted it and because Robert didn't have the guts to refuse her that.

And everyting happened in the first place because Joffrey was a fucking bully and wanted to hurt Mycah because nobody thougth of teaching him better.

I'm not saying Sansa was right for lying. But she took the best decision she could in a difficult situation. I do think she wasn't well protected there - and neither Arya. It's crazy to me that Joffrey could walk/talk alone with Sansa. Where was her chaperone ? You don't let your 11 /13 daughter be on her own. Especially in medieval times. Then, when they ask her what happened, there was pressure on her. Joffrey was her fiancé. She was going to marry him. She was raised to be loyal to her future husband. And anyway, everyone was able to tell Sansa was afraid. Robert could tell that his "son" was lying. He admitted himself to Ned.

I'm sorry, but people always erase the whole context of situations when they talk about some scenes. It seems so weird to me.

Just added a doc to my Google docs ._.'

I have too little time right now to even continue my existing fanfic and finish the first chapter of a new one, but all that crazytom controversy makes me wanna write a Jaehaera x Aegon fanfic.

Just out of spite.

So well said.

Gratitude is the only thing I have for him. I genuinely don't care if he finishes the series, especially if working on it means to strech himself thin and stress himself out. He has the right to retire, too. With all that has happened, I'd understand if that's what he'll do.

He gave us a whole universe to dwell in. I'm just grateful he gave my mind a place to roam.

My hottest hot take is that George R R Martin has no obligation to finish the Song of Ice and Fire series.

Bro let his whole adult life be consumed by SEVEN thousand-page semi-historical-fiction books with a cast of near thirty well-developed, well set-up, well-characterized characters, and a complex and realistic geopolitical enviroment just because he thought a specific historical event should be better known. He deserves to enjoy the money he made in peace, and a lot of people (hell, a lot of WRITERS) whose only knowledge of writing is barely thought-out fanfiction populated by characters whose whole personality is to be horny for the character the author thirsts over, will jump at his throat and scream about how selfish he is just because he is taking time to develop HIS OWN GODDAMN NOVEL????????????

I know its frustrating. Believe me, I have no life, my only reason to wake up in the morning is that George MIGHT finish the series. But it's HIS intellectual property. HIS book. HIS characters. It came from HIS mind. If he wants to chill and just maladaptive daydream about it for the next decade than that is his right and he doesn't deserve the hate he gets just because ya'll can't accept the fact your favorite fictional war criminal who already has seven novels worth of content isn't getting an end? Well, welcome the plights of fiction fandoms. Sometimes, it's good enough just to not fix what isn't broken.

I'm sure plenty of writers here in tumblr can sympathise with the hope to not be harassed over when the next chapter for your story is coming. Sometimes we don't know. People have lives. Struggles. Health issues. Other interests. THEY ARE NOT YOUR FAITHFUL AI SERVANT. THEY DON’T PULL STORIES OUT OF THEIR ARSES. THEY HAVE TO THINK IT, THEN MAKE IT, THE EDIT IT, THEN SEE IF THEY LIKE IT. ITS A WHOLE PROCESS.

We are so used to immediate consuption that we cannot concieve of people taking time to perfect a craft that's meant to be enjoyable to them. And if we're honest, Martin has weathered a lot of fucking bullshit in silence. From fans, to editors, to bosses, to showmakers, he has had his fair share. Much more than its ok to take in silence. Please realize that just because something is out for the public to consume it doesn’t mean that it belongs to you.

Sophie Turner has what I call a 'chameleon face'. She has grown into a brilliant actress and watching her progress through film has been delightful so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing her in more mature and enduring roles.

Radio Times 7-13th September 2024

[millennial-crone-ao3]

calling an author "unprofessional" bc he hates how his precious work that he spent years on being butchered is beyond madness. the thoughts, the ideas, the hard work, the inspiration, the sleepless nights, the creativity, the emotions and feelings he has put into his work being thrown out the window not once but TWICE must be heart breaking to him. he knows he doesn't have much time left on this earth and he has the RIGHT to be upset and devastated at how his legacy is being dragged through the mud and "fixed" by a bunch of pretentious narcissists that think they could do a better job than him, bc if they're doing this while he is alive imagine what they would do when he isn't.

[millennial-crone-ao3]

HOTD was a mistake because why do I see…people unironically calling GRRM’s own canonical statements about his world and his characters “headcanons”.

None of you are serious people and HOTD is not that good of a show for yall to be crashing out this way. Have some decorum please.

[millennial-crone-ao3]

All right there has been some Discourse TM about George RR Martin because of that post he made going rogue on HOTD's writers (deleted a few hours later but archived) and I'm seeing some misinformed reactions by people who aren't in the publishing or entertainment industries so lemme clarify some things:

- Creators are not the ones with the power. Execs are. Even an author as big as George gets their opinions dismissed if the higher-ups don't want to listen.

- HBO has not listened to George's feedback and concerns for years. They do not have to, because once adaptation rights are signed away it is OUT of the author's hands. How do you think GOT Season 8 happened?

- George cannot just shut down production or refuse to let them make future seasons of any show inspired by his works because he doesn't like what they're doing. He can't break the contract willy-nilly either when HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are at stake. I hope people keep that in mind before saying "oh why is he complaining while continuing to collect his royalty checks?" Well, if they're fucking up his stories he might as well get some money out of it.

- He's not complaining for complaining's sake. I hung out with him a few weeks ago and heard his full scope of opinions on HOTD and what he said in the post was VERY mild. Probably the least spicy storytelling critique he could've brought up. And I do believe this was on purpose and strategic. He's not going full scorched earth on HBO, but he's showing them that he COULD. He did this as a warning shot to get them to listen to him because clearly he saw some very upsetting plans for upcoming HOTD seasons. If he just wanted to complain there's way spicier shit he could've said.

- For those who think he's disrespecting the show's writers...How do you think he felt when they have dismissed his feedback in private and driven him to the point of risking legal action to make his point to them?

- Just because he didn't mention something in the post doesn't mean he approves of it or doesn't care, and the post should not be used to extrapolate his opinions on anything that's not related to what he specifically addressed. Again, what he said was VERY mild. Ultimately, what matters to him is logical storytelling and complex, morally gray characters.

- Lastly, I do not consider myself part of the HOTD or GOT fandoms. I'm a casual and defending him as a fellow author. Please do not involve me in any fandom drama. I do not know what's going on in there and I don't want to.

[millennial-crone-ao3]

Meanwhile GRRM’s fellow creatives joining the fray to speak in his defense ^.

After HBO’s public statement, I’m also positive he was pushed to take down his blog post.

[millennial-crone-ao3]

Preach and I'll pray at this altar.

The audacity to patronize and call GRRM “unprofessional” is beyond me. I hope he writes negative blog posts about HOTD everyday and never releases winds. Like yall are thinking too highly of yourselves to speak on George this way.

[millennial-crone-ao3]

Go get them, granpa. May yours be the fury.

I find the incredibly unempathetic stance towards him I read on here sometimes unbelievable. I wanna see your reaction when someone takes what you handed over to them in good faith, that something being a whole universe you have created over decades with attention to detail and love, and squashing it, essentially, by trying to making it something else and entirely their own. Butchering it through their sheer incompetence in storytelling and inability to not self insert themselves and their modern beliefs into any story, trying to connect plot points like a headless chicken, because their changes produce one logical error after another.

My heart goes out to him. How those people handled the adaption of his brainchild is so utterly disrespectful, I cannot even.

I have no idea what Ryan has planned — if indeed he has planned anything(...)

Wow 💀
