#can't help but think of oberyn saying this abt obara's mother as contemptuous insult

"Tears," she[Cersei] said scornfully to Sansa as the woman was led from the hall. "The woman's weapon, my lady mother used to call them. [...]" -Sansa VI, aCoK

would love to know the context of joanna saying this to(/within earshot of?) cersei, who was 7yo at maximum. interesting parenting choice to want your very young daughter to be a better manipulator, instead of just treating crying as an honest expression of emotion.

#it's somewhat better than cersei's followup lesson to sansa abt a woman's best weapon being btwn her legs but still#i suppose genna or someone couldve said this abt joanna to cersei after her death

#but thats less interesting and this is joanna's only real charecterization outside her ghost in jaimes dream

#can't help but think of oberyn saying this abt obara's mother as contemptuous insult

#however much cersei loved and missed her mother yknow she had complicated feelings abt her as a woman w tears as her best weapon
