#c ; sansa stark

[selwynsel]

sansa and tyrion's marriage is interesting from tyrion's perspective. he is canny enough to understand that she is only saying things to please and mollify him, but he also genuinely thinks that she is "so dutiful" that she would tell him what she prays for in her frequent visits to the sept (and he thinks she's excessively pious). as the reader we know she's praying for lannister annihilation and would never admit this out loud, but tyrion doesn't seem to really... get that sansa hates him and his family. even after everything, the multiple beatings, being terrorized by joffrey, the entire forced marriage, THE MURDER OF HER DEAR BELOVED DAD - he has a perception of her as a simple dutiful girl whose inner world consists of piety and supplication. that her prayers are a form of resistance and escape doesn't occur to him. he also exercises a very similar lack of understanding with shae - he thinks she's angry with him bc she lost her jewels and silks, not bc she is scared of her unstable position.

imo one of the biggest proofs of sansa's character growth post-agot (which seems to be overlooked) is this, where grrm makes sure we know how her perspective of the trident incident has indeed shifted. why else even say this? it's not what the tyrells wanted to know, they asked about joff's treatment of her in particular, and "he lied about the butcher's boy" means nothing without context (and even if she said the lannisters used that lie to justify killing mycah, i doubt olenna, at least, would care). but for sansa atp, joffrey's sins against mycah are worth remembering and reporting as his first crime (known to her), that incident is now recognized as evidence of joff's montrosity, the wrongs committed against mycah by joffrey personally (as in not even his death) are on par with sansa losing her wolf and being beaten by the kg. sure, she still has some classism remaining, but to say she cares nothing for the smallfolk, and is still the same girl disgusted by mycah's smellyness, who later repeated joffrey's lie about him weeks after the fact and blamed arya for lady's death more than joffrey, that's just demonstrably untrue.

Cregan Stark said “you, at least, had the mercy” what he meant was “you, at least, had the decency” .

It smacks me of “of course you’ll be in vanguard, my brother Robb always is, and he’s only a pretender”

C’mon, it’s the same energy.

I love my clever Starks.

"news from white harbor"

Starter Call ! From Sansa Stark ;

Not looking forward to the fact that apparently the first episode of hotd season two is called “A son for a son” and that Dyana is also in the second episode so im assuming b&c is a two parter? Makes sense, but i was hoping to not jump into two toddlers and a baby getting attacked and their mother having to choose between which son to kill so they dont rape her daughter. Also i just am not looking forward to seeing Alicent and Helena suffering like that. Because apparently (i saw a tumblr post about it dont know how accurate it is or who posted it) that the writers wanted to have Alicent raped during it? And Olivia shut that down immediately (understandable). The got/hotd writers love having women suffer, it doesnt matter if you hate the greens, blacks, Rhaenyra, Cersie, Sansa, Dany, they ALL suffered and deserved better.

sapphic pining 101 // accepting @wolvesballad sent: keep talking like that and i might end up in your arms.

it's the wine talking. it has to be. and the meade, lexa realizes, looking down at the drinking horn in her grasp. how many times had it been filled since they sought company by the fire together? neither would be so casual, so open without a little bit of liquid courage to chip away at fortified walls. the alcohol is also to blame for lexa's flirtatious mannerisms starting up again. sansa seems to be welcoming the banter, which is a stark ( no pun intended ) contrast from how she might have reacted at an early date.

" would that be such a bad thing? " she dares to ask. VULNERABILITY is not a feeling the warrior enjoys nor is accustomed to. but here with sansa, she isn't afraid of getting too close. quite literally. she's near enough to count the freckles on rose tinted cheeks. the brunette has an inkling they may grow even closer before the night is over.

the younger starklings about robb (robb the strong and brave big brother, the perfect heir, the fierce and unbeatable young wolf):

arya

bran

sansa

meanwhile, actual robb (robb the lord and then robb the kitn):

before arya ever promised to be strong by using robb as her benchmark, the definition of stark strength, ned had to remind robb to be strong as the ruling stark in winterfell. (strong for bran and rickon, the brothers he thought he failed by sending their would-be killer away, leading to his great moment of weakness in jeyne westerling's bed.) as his siblings' faith in his ultimate triumph held strong, even after the loss of the north, robb himself was struggling with despair.

as grenn once told sam, maybe everyone is just pretending to be brave, maybe that's how people become brave. robb was faking it to make it too, imitating his father's lordly attitude as bran later tried to imitate robb's. as his younger siblings remembered him as their shining example, robb was trying to live up to his father's example. not the ned who'd been in his circumstances, a teenager unexpectedly turned into a lord and fighting a war to save his family. no, ofc, he never knew that young ned. the ned he knew as his father, the standard to measure himself against, was an adult man in his mid-30s who'd ruled the north for ~15 years. but was that standard for a 15/16yo any more fair and valid an expectation than 8/9yo bran believing he was almost a man grown and holding himself to the standard of 15/16yo robb as robb's heir?

and the only person left close enough to see robb as the boy he still was died with him.

Sansa dreamed of being Queen ever since she was thirteen years old. Now she was now in her early 20's, something she never thought she'd be unwedded. But news of needing the Starks on their side, Sansa thought of a way to do such a thing. She offered to marry King Aegon Targaryen in order to keep the peace between the two houses.

On the night of their wedding, Sansa wore a beautiful green dress to show her support for the Greens. Of course, she had to now since the King was going to be her husband. Slowly she reached to take his hand and held onto it tightly. "My King..." Sansa said softly while a small smile formed on her lips.

" I have waited for this day since I was a little girl. " Sansa said softly. "I know I am old and may not be smart. But I promise you to give you at least two sons to rule in your footsteps." She said while another smile formed on her lips. "I shall love and obey you until my last breath, for I am yours and you are mine."
