#i really cant find joffrey's voice so yeah

[sailorshadzter]

and the wolves will come to take you home.

Chapter One. 

find me on ff.net 

He's not seen her in nearly ten years.

Despite how long it's been, he can still recall the glimmer of her smile in the morning sunlight, that day she left. He can still remember the pure happiness that lit her up from the inside out. It's been ten years, but he still remembers.

The King in the North isn't quite certain how he's gotten himself here. Well, that's not true, he supposes, he knows what's brought him here. He's been summoned by King Joffrey (ordered more like it) because of the crown he had accepted just a few weeks before. With the help of the free folk he had befriended during his years with the Night's Watch, Jon had reclaimed Winterfell in the name of House Stark from the Bolton's. And though his last name was Snow, the Northern lords named him their king. He knows it belongs to Sansa, the oldest surviving child of Ned Stark, but his letter to her had gone unanswered. That had left him with little choice but to accept the crown offered to him. He wouldn't let the North fall into usurper's hands ever again.

"Your grace?"

He turns, it's Ser Davos, the man he calls his Hand, an unlikely ally he found in Stannis Baratheon's once most loyal man. "Are we close?" Jon asks, gesturing towards the Red Keep just there in the distance. The streets as busy as they ride through, though many stop to gawk at the black clad king in his furs.

"The archway just here leads right to the Keep," Davos replies, pointing to the stone arch some yards ahead. Etched into the stone is a Lannister lion and a Stark wolf, which Jon finds amusing, considering Joffrey was a Baratheon. It just proved how much control that Lannister witch and her family had over the king and his court. "I'm certain the Lannister's will be waiting for your arrival." Jon smirks and kicks his horse into a faster pace, suddenly quite eager to dismount and find his sister.

Just as Davos had predicted, the three Lannister siblings stood in a semi circle at the top of the stone stairs, just outside the double doors that would lead inside the Keep. Jon squints as he slows his horse to a stop at the base of the steps, looking up at the golden siblings standing just above him. Tyrion Lannister was as he had been when Jon had met him all those years ago, though with a few new scars on his ugly face. Jaime Lannister was still a handsome lion of a man, though his golden hair had been cropped short and he sports a beard. Then there's Cersei, the king's mother, with her green eyes and long, golden hair, he supposes she's a beautiful woman, but not really his taste. She wears a blue gown with sweeping sleeves and gold thread running through the length of the skirt. The elaborate head piece she wears is more like a crown and Jon wonders if Joffrey is even king at all.

"Welcome to King's Landing, my lord." Cersei is the first to speak, descending a single step, skirts trailing behind her. Her pointed use of my lord makes Jon chuckle and beside him, Davos prickles. "I hope your journey was a pleasant one." Anyone who traveled the road between King's Landing and Winterfell knew it was a long, hard one.

"It was well enough, thank you." Jon replies, putting a hand in front of Davos to keep him from interrupting.

They're led up the steps and into the Keep, a massive place that's well lit with a golden glow. The Lannister's are quite rich, he remembers, and considering the Tyrell's they've married into, their riches have only tripled. He catches sight of a set of doors, doors that surely must lead to the throne room. "This way, Jon Snow," Cersei Lannister's voice brings him back, making him realize he's fallen out of pace with all of the others. "You will meet with the king soon enough," her smile is like that of a serpent and Jon can't help but to shudder. He wonders how his sister has lived with these people all these years, when he can't stand them even for a few minutes.

He's settled into his rooms a few minutes later and Jon can do nothing but pace, now that he's here he feels trapped, he feels like a wolf pacing its cage.

"He's here?"

She turns away from the looking glass, eyes seeking out Shae's gentle brown eyes; Shae was the only person in all of the world that she could trust and when she nods, Sansa knows it's time. A strange warmth rushes through her and she swivels back around in her chair to give herself one last look in the mirror. "I can't believe he's here..." She murmurs as she looks into her own reflection, reaching up a hand to touch the soft coil of braids at the back of her head. Though Joffrey prefers when she wears her hair like his mother, she's adopted a style more seen in the North, a style her own mother had worn more than once. Despite living in the world of the Lannister's, she tries to keep her own Northern roots a part of her. Though Cersei Lannister controls how she walks, talks, and dresses, Sansa never takes off the direwolf pendant from around her neck. It hangs low on a silver chain, given to her by her father many years ago.

It's been nearly ten years now since she's last seen anyone in her family- and though back then she might have called Jon her bastard brother, now she longs to see him as much as she longed to see any of the others. Not that she could see any of the others, of course. Her mother and father were both dead, Robb was dead, and the youngest ones... Bran, Arya, and Rickon had been missing for several years now. Jon was the only family she had left.

A knock sounds on her door and she flinches, she can't help it. Shae notices and her heart sinks but she calms her anger so she might turn and open the door. It is Jaime Lannister, come to escort Sansa down to the throne room. "It is time to greet our guest," Jaime says as he steps into the room, eyeing his niece with that same green-eyed gaze of his sister. Jaime offers her his arm and Sansa loops her arm with his, her other lifting her long silk skirts as they began to make their way down the hall. "Your bastard brother is every inch a Stark, you know." Jaime says as they go, surprising the young queen. It was true, she recalled how much Jon had looked like a Stark back when they were kids. Such a thing had made it all the more painful for her mother, that her husband's bastard looked more like him than any of his true born sons.

They step into the throne room from the back door and she can see that Joffrey already sits upon his. "Husband," she murmurs when she's let go of Jaime's arm and come around front, dipping her husband a quick curtsy. He waves his hand at her, gesturing for her to sit, and she does so, hyper aware of how quickly her heart has begun to beat. It's always like this, she knows, when she must come face to face with her horrid excuse of a husband. Fear creeps into her heart and settles onto her soul, it's an imprint upon her existence. Though Joffrey did not raise a physical hand to her (his men were there for that) he caused her plenty of pain in other ways.

"I've traded one troublesome Stark brother for another," Joffrey seethes to her as he sits more upright, casting a glare in her direction. "The White Wolf will last about as long as the Young Wolf, I think." He means to insult the memory of Robb, who was called the Young Wolf by all of the North, dead at the hands of the Lannister's order. "And I see you wear a new gown- thinking you might impress your bastard brother?" He asks, his voice scathing, and Sansa keeps her gaze straight ahead. She knows better than to provoke him when he's like this. The last time she'd done such a thing, she'd carried the bruises for weeks. "He'll leave here as Lord Commander or he won't leave at all." He means to continue, but his mother steps up to stand beside his side of the thrones, her gentle touch the only thing able to calm him.

Up ahead, the doors open and she sees him.

He is as she remembers him- wild, dark curls with those solemn Stark colored eyes. What Jaime Lannister had told her was true, he was his father's son without question, he was truly a Stark. Seeing him reminds him of Arya and the pain that rushes through her is so strong she must hold her breath to keep from crying out. Jon approaches the dais and bows low, first to Joffrey and then in turn to her. Their eyes meet as he raises his gaze up and she feels her heart skip a beat. "Welcome to King's Landing," Joffrey says, shifting how he sits upon the Iron Throne, his dark green eyes narrowing slightly as they fall upon the Northern bastard.

Jon cannot believe how beautiful she's become.

Sansa was always lovely- always the prettiest of the Stark children, everyone said so, but now... She had grown into a creature so lovely Jon was certain she could not be real. Her Tully red hair was long, elaborately braided like a Northern queen, with a golden crown upon her head. Her gown mimicked that of the one Cersei wore, with long sweeping sleeves and a sqaure cut neckline that was just low enough to show off the swell of her breasts. Jon starts, realizing these are all thoughts a man should not have about his sister and so he tears his gaze from hers, but feels empty when he does. "Thank you, your grace." Jon says, hoping his voice does not betray the dozens of thoughts and feelings racing through him.

"You know why I've sent for you then?" Joffrey asks, settling back, hands gripping the uncomfortable arms of the chair he's sitting in. He hates the Iron Throne, if he's honest, but it is his all the same. "I am the King of the Seven Kingdoms and yet you dare to name yourself King of one of those kingdoms. You and the North are in open rebellion against me." His tone is dangerous, but his eyes are menacing. It would seem the rumors of this king's madness might not have been just rumors. "It is out of the love I bear my queen that I have not had you murdered in your bed," the king spits out, shaking his golden head. Jon spares Sansa a quick glance and notes the look upon her face- as if she is wearing a mask that is moments from slipping. "Denounce your so called throne and bend the knee to me and we will overlook this little act of rebellion."

Jon returns his gaze to the king and sighs, closing his eyes for one long moment. "No," he finally says when he opens his eyes again. "I cannot do that." He goes on, speaking before Joffrey's anger spilled over. "I was chosen to protect the North and I will do just that." Beside the king, Sansa's face changes, something like relief spreading into her eyes. "I've come for more reason than to challenge you on who rules what kingdom," Jon says, knowing if nothing else, he must do this.

"What else could bring a traitor to his own death?" Joffrey glares at him from where he sits and it is Sansa who looks to him then, her blue eyes full of worry when she hears the tone he speaks in.

"The Night King is coming."

Every pair of eyes in the room focus on the King in the North then, all etched with surprise, some even amusement. It is only Sansa who turns to look at him with true concern, having heard the stories of the white walkers during childhood. Of course, most just said the story of the Night King was just that- a story- but seeing Jon's face made her question those stories. "The Night King?" Joffrey laughs, thinking this to be a distraction from the true problem at hand. "You come all this way to speak of ghost stories?" Behind him, Cersei approaches, a hand once again settling upon the king's shoulder. "No matter, such things can be discussed at another time." Joffrey sits up straighter and Cersei steps back. "I have matters of the realm to attend to, we shall talk again, bastard of Winterfell." He rises up to his feet and offers Sansa his arm, which she takes without a word, rising up to surprise Jon with her height. She is tall and thin like a willow tree and he sees now that her hair is so long that it nearly brushes her waist. She casts him only one backwards glance before she vanishes through the door with Joffrey.

When she's gone, Jon feels cold.

[ x x x ]

"You must speak with him."

Sansa stares into Shae's eyes, hands clutching together in her lap. "He is your brother, he will help you." Shae goes on, reaching out to touch her queen's shoulder. They have been together several years now and Shae knew this could be the only chance at saving Sansa from the misery that was her life in King's Landing. But, Sansa shakes her head, turning around to face the mirror, reaching up to begin pulling pins from her hair.

It's late and they've just returned to her rooms from the main hall, having spent many hours drinking and dancing after the feast. Joffrey had been drunk and stumbled off to his own chambers with his latest mistress, leaving Sansa a night alone. "I can't ask such a thing of him." Is all she says, hands lowering only when Shae's take over. Jon could not save her from her fate- no one could. Sansa had long since given up on her dream of being rescued from the abuse of King's Landing and had rather hardened her heart against it. The people of Westeros called her the Ice Queen, a queen who never smiled, a sad queen. And yet they loved her for it. They cheered her on the streets, they prayed for her in their septs, they adored their Northern born queen more than their bastard born king. Most people knew that their king's birth was questionable, all of his siblings were thought to be born of their own uncle's loins, but there were none alive who were brave enough to question it. Sansa's own father had once tried and had lost his head for it.

When the pins have all been pulled from her hair and she's stripped from her long, heavy gown, a knock sounds on her door. Surprise filters through her and Sansa nods at Shae, giving her permission to open it as she tugs her dressing robe on over her white nightgown. Thinking it will be Joffrey or perhaps a maid with a glass of wine, she bends over the trunk at the end of her bed, rummaging through it for the gown she thinks she might wear tomorrow. "Sansa..." The gown falls from her hands as she slowly rises up, turning around at the sound of her name on his lips. It's the first time in years that she's heard her name spoken in such a way, the way her father had once said it.

"Jon..." She whispers, taking a single step towards him, heart hammering so hard within her chest she thinks surely he must hear it. That is all it takes before he's striding across the room and taking her into his arms, the force of his embrace sweeping her off of her feet. "I can't believe you're here," she whispers into his neck, his arms tight around her waist, hers draped across his shoulders.

He's breathing in the scent of her; rosewater and tears, her hair as soft as he had imagined it to be. Setting her back onto her feet, Jon cannot let her go and so his hands remain at her her hips, the feel of them sharp beneath his palms. She is thin, he realizes, thinner than a noble woman might usually be, and worry rushes through him. Standing here so close to her, he notices things he had not noticed in the throne room and suddenly the urge to smuggle her away returns to him. "I came because the threat of the Night King is real, but also... I wanted to see you." He admits softly, voice raspy, a thread. It's true, they hadn't had the best relationship as kids, but she was the only family he had left. He had to see her.

Across the room, Shae ducks behind a curtain, out of sight, but a chaperone to the queen's good name. She knows what will happen if word got out that a man had visited the queen's rooms, half brother or not. "He won't rest until you give up your crown." She says softly, shaking her vibrant red head, blue eyes finding his. "Not with Cersei in his ear." She worries for him now, making an enemy of the Lannister's. She knows what they can do to people they view as a threat.

"I care little for the crown, it should be yours, anyways." Jon says with a shake of his own head. "It won't matter when the Night King comes. He will kill us all if we don't do something to stop him." In the movements of their embrace, the long chain she wears tucked against her chest has come loose and it hangs over her gown, prompting Jon to reach for it. It's a well made silver direwolf pendant, something Ned Stark had given her for her nameday that summer before they had all left Winterfell. Returning his gaze to hers, Jon smiles, his heart skipping a single beat. When Sansa's lips curve with a smile of her own, Jon feels a warmth rush through his entire being, a feeling quite unlike anything he's ever felt before.

She gestures then for him to sit and she pours him a goblet of ale from the pitcher on her desk. They settle into chairs and they begin to talk; they talk until they laugh, until they cry. They talk about the past and they talk about the present. It isn't until hours before the morning call comes that they part ways, Jon returning to the rooms given to him earlier that day. "Get some sleep," she says as he slips from her rooms and into the darkened hall, unaware of the eyes that watch him go from around another corner.

When she shuts the door behind him, Sansa leans back against the door, her heart racing. She dares not feel happy, but she can't stop the flicker of it from rising up in her body. For the first time in years, she had something to hold onto.

But she was right to be wary, for what good thing could ever truly last?

alright so here’s going to be my thoughts / breakdown of the new trailer. im actually really excited to do this because ive not done a game of thrones trailer before!! 

so i hope you guys enjoy.

also, shoutout to everyone who has taken the time to gif this trailer, i hope no one minds me using their gifs (with the proper credit of course!) 

anyways, under the cut for SPOILERS and length :)

we immediately cut to arya running off, her breathing heavy, she even makes a frightened sound as she takes off. we watch her run, looking over her shoulder, true fear in her eyes and on her face. but i dont think this is fear for herself. i can only assume that these opening seconds are post battle with the ww/nk because she’s covered in blood (also WHO’S blood?) and sweat. something or someone (jon  👀) has sent arya back to winterfell and we all know what the reason is: sansa fucking stark. 

something has struck fear into jon or arya for their beloved sister/cousin and arya is 100% going after sansa. because she looks over her shoulder, i imagine she’s running away from whatever has come for sansa- she’s leading it away, perhaps in hopes that it will give chase to her and give sansa a chance to escape. maybe not, maybe the look over her shoulder is at someone else chasing after her to rescue sansa (jon? the hound? brienne?). either way... this is true fear we see on arya’s face. she’s terrified that something has happened to sansa. 

worse yet... what if she’s running from someone who she loves that’s been turned into a white walker? i hate the thought of that but wow that could be something else, huh. 

what i find really interesting throughout this scene (besides arya’s voice over) is the three bell tolls. they say death comes in threes. the three bell tolls could signify the deaths of the characters we see as they chime (davos, varys, and arya herself / whoever she’s speaking to). i will literally lose my mind if davos dies, i cant even THINK about that. but, its definitely a very real possibility as we move into this final battle. 

arya’s voice over is chilling... i know death... it’s got many faces... i look forward to seeing this one. What i LOVE about this is its all voice over until that final line. she’s saying that to someone on her list. she’s clean in that moment, meaning its before or after the opening moments. my guess is its after and she’s speaking to cersei. cersei has been on her list from the beginning and it’s absolutely without a doubt that arya will rush off to king’s landing to rescue sansa. if cersei doesnt die in childbirth like i think (we’ll talk about that later) it would be arya to get the kill. and i know, the old witch told cersei it would be her brother that killed her... but let’s talk about that for a second

it’s going to be tyrion. he’s going to get them into king’s landing without cersei knowing and he’s going to be the reason they’re able to take cersei out. so really, he’s her undoing. he causes her death. this also feeds into my thought that tyrion won’t stay loyal to dany. if dany lives past the fight with the night king, something tells me she wont want to rush into king’s landing just to rescue sansa. she wont view her as important any longer and wont want to risk harm to herself or her dragons by immediately leaving one fight for the other. not for sansa stark. that will be tyrions breaking point. 

these are a few of the shots we get while bran’s voice over plays. everything that you did brought you to where you are now... where you belong. home.  we also see king’s landing & sam looking over his shoulder with bran in the background. the moment bran says home we’re hit with a shot of dany’s army marching towards winter fell, of course with jon and dany on horseback coming up at the rear? the middle? im not sure but i also dont think it matters much.

i think its obvious this is bran speaking to jon. he’s reminding him that despite this reveal of who his parents really were... he’s still a stark. he’s still home there at winterfell, in the north. he’s still got a family. everything jon has done up until this point has been for the north or for sansa. he went to war with the boltons to take winterfell back, to avenge what happened to sansa, to protect what family he had left. 

next is cersei, she’s clearly overlooking a ship coming into the harbor or someone riding up on horseback / in a wagon. i wont lie, im not versed enough in the ins and outs of king’s landing to know, or if you can even travel from winterfell to king’s landing... but i would assume there’s a way considering the golden company is most likely sailing there from king’s landing???

anyways

i think cersei is watching sansa being brought to her. she’s smirking because she think she’s won. she thinks she’s going to be the queen on the throne in the end of this fight. she’s untouchable. she’s pregnant with the future heir to the iron throne and she has who she believes to be her son’s murderer almost in her grasp. not just that- this is sansa stark, the key to the north. her “brother” is king in the north (well kind of) and now she has leverage against him. her life for something. i cant imagine word of jon’s parentage would have traveled to cersei yet (although... who knows) so she cant use sansa as leverage for jon to give up his claim to the throne. maybe sansa for dany? give up the dragon queen and ill give you back your sister, type thing. im not sure. i truly believe at this point, cersei still hasnt let go her belief that sansa helped poison joffrey & i think that’s the biggest motive for her here. everything else is just gravy. especially if she DOES learn the truth about jon while she’s in her keep. 

yeah so here we have dany and jon riding into winterfell, looking very much like a king / queen riding into battle. i dont have much to say about this moment other than they both look very stoic, not that is surprising for jon. dany seems to be just ahead of him, as if to remind everyone she’s the queen. i do like the contrast of her white outfit compared to the darkness of the dothraki and jon. but those blood red gloves? girl. talk about having blood on your hands.

now this is the part im LIVING FOR

MY GIRL HOLY SHIT.

the shot continues with sansa taking a few steps towards the other side of the walkway, her eyes never leaving the dragons. first of all, can we talk about how all the men in got have reacted to the dragons? THEY COWERED. THEY RAN. THEY FLUNG THEMSELVES ONTO THE GROUND. jon literally threw himself on the ground out of fear and shock. but not this girl. not my stark sisters. they literally show no fear as the dragons fly overhead. 

sansa is wearing the same gown here as she is when she meets with jon and dany. i definitely think this is her watching the arrival of the army and dany. the dragons arent hard to miss and im sure someone alerted her of them being sighted. she’s up there watching their arrival, knowing any moment jon would be back in winterfell where he belonged.

im sure she’s thinking about hundreds of things. how am i to feed all these people without the north starving? how are the dragons to feed without starving us all? why has jon brought her back with him? why do they ride side by side like husband and wife?  part of me wants to believe that this is all planned out ahead of time, but i know it isnt. if jon wants this political agenda to go through the right way he has to make every last detail seem believable. he knows sansa cant lie for shit (bless her heart) and if he doesnt make even her believe he’s with dany, then this whole thing will fall apart. 

he’s doing this for her, after all.

next we see jon already in the crypts and daenerys coming to join him. we have jon’s voice over as she walks they’re coming, our enemy doesn’t tire.   what’s interesting to me is the placement of jon’s words over this particular scene. it pans in to dany looking upset as she approaches jon (who looks downright miserable) as if she means to console him. it’s here that jon says the enemy never tires. are we to take this literally as dany is the enemy? its a trailer so its hard to say. we can only infer things at this point. i definitely believe dark!dany is coming whether this trailer did this or not, so i cant really use it as proof of anything. 

i just find it odd that jon is NEVER smiling or happy (it seems) when he’s with dany. now this post isnt about a ship war (but if you follow me, you already know where i stand) but i find it odd that for the couple we’re supposed to think is end game... they never seem happy. if jon’s in love with dany, why doesnt he show it? in his past relationships we see him smile and laugh. yes, i know, jon is definitely the brooding type but we KNOW he can smile, we’ve seen it before with sansa & ygritte. so why not with dany? that alone is proof enough for me that jon and dany are NEVER going to end up together. 

anyways moving on before the stans come for me  👀

doesnt stop, doesnt feel... Jon’s voice over continues as we flash to Gendy (looking like a whole ass snack, hello) Jorah riding into battle, and Grey Worm with Missandei sharing a kiss. also i think its important that we’re shown them kissing as jon says dont feel, implying that only the living can of course feel, while the night king feels absolutely nothing at all. their kiss is a reminder that happiness can be found even in the darkest of moments (thanks for the quote, albus) and its bittersweet too because this very well could be the last time they see each other. 

(credit to @vavaharrison for this gif as well) 

we cut then to a battle scene with brienne and jaime. i love the background of this scene- all fire and ash, brienne slicing through a white walker (i hope lol) as intense as ever. it cuts to jaime shouting for bronn which has me SHOOK because does that mean something has happened to bronn? is jaime trying to get his attention BEFORE something happens? just needs his attention so he can send him elsewhere on the battlefield? its hard to say. 

looking very closely, jaime is wearing northern armor here, the same set he was wearing in the one set of hbo stills. there’s been a lot of speculation that it’s robb’s armor he’s wearing and i love that idea. 

the scene switches immediately after this and we get something INSANE and AMAZING all at the same time.

without a doubt, that’s sansa there in king’s landing, standing before cersei. i think its safe to assume the person next to her is the commander of the golden company, the uniform he’s wearing is pretty spot on, at least from the distance of the shot. 

obviously they did this for a reason. they dont want us to be 100% but we know. but you cant miss sansa’s frame or the way she styles her hair. even in such a small, far off shot you can tell it’s sansa standing there. you can even just barely make our her fur wrap around her shoulders, the black cloak she wears a dark contrast to the room. 

now, i touched on this earlier... the kidnapping plot. 

i’ve been a big believer in this since i first heard of it. it makes sense, it falls perfectly into the plot.. it works. i wont repeat myself (much) from what i said earlier, but sansa has been brought here because she’s the key to the north & the whole joffrey getting poisoned at his own wedding. cersei blamed tyrion and by default sansa too... because besides sansa, who else could want him dead THAT MUCH? i mean to us, the answer is a LOT of people, but to cersei... sansa is the only answer. she was mistreated by joffrey from the start and he had cut of her father’s head right before her very eyes. of course sansa would want him dead. 

and its so easy to blame her. poor little sansa stark. she’s jealous of sansa, i’ve always thought so. a beautiful girl, well loved by her family and everyone around her. even at king’s landing people were drawn to her. she was a shining example of what a lady was supposed to be, untainted by the darkness like cersei. she was pure, like myrcella was. she would grow to have a nice life eventually, even if it meant she remained married to tyrion. and her own son, evil as he was, he was still hers, he would grow cold in the dirt. cersei needed someone to lash out at, someone to blame. and there was no one better than sansa stark. 

the shot of the hall is followed by that one of cersei, looking teary-eyed and drinking wine.  we already knew she was pregnant (or was she? now im not sure what to think!!) and avoided the wine when talking with tyrion. but here she’s drinking again. we know how much cersei loves her wine. i suppose its safe to assume there’s no more pregnancy, there’s to be no heir to follow after her for the iron throne. and now that jaime is gone from her... there’s no one left in this world that she loves or loves her. that child was her one last chance to start over, to be a good mother, and rule the seven kingdoms. now its all gone. its like she’s asking herself here what’s the point now? why continue? she’s wearing what looks to be a dressing robe, so i can only assume this is after she’s been cleaned up from her miscarriage. maybe she’s even brought sansa in and is talking with her, a call back to the conversations they used to have in the earlier seasons. 

i think we’ll get a lot of drama from this- everyone is going to witness jon losing his mind over sansa’s kidnapping. blaming himself, arya blaming herself, and probably brienne too. let me tell you... i live for that. i think this will be the moment where people realize just how deeply jon feels for her. this will be where the political plot unravels. 

*cue the dramatic music*

we get a shot of the dragons, a repeat of arya seeing the dragons, grey worm putting his helmet on, and an amazing shot of jon in the godswood (which ill talk about below) all while jaime has a voice over i promised to fight for the living... i intend to keep that promise! just like with arya, it starts out as a voice over, but the last line is him actually saying the line to whomever he’s speaking to. i believe this is part of his speech as he pledges himself to sansa / house stark. 

ive read a few posts about this moment- some speculating that there’s someone sitting there that we can’t see, others saying we’re seeing this in the POV of someone walking towards jon. im more inclined to believe the latter. its almost like jon’s waiting there for someone. i think we’d still get a glimpse of skirts if it was sansa or silver hair over his shoulder if it was dany. i guess you could argue it could be arya who’s so small he would obscure her or bran even, but again, i think its most likely this is the pov of someone walking towards jon.

but who?

i think its sansa. my little shipper heart would LOVE to believe this is a secret wedding or the moment they’ll confess their feelings, but its a long shot i know. anyways. if its not sansa... then i dont know. at this point, im assuming this is after jon’s parentage reveal. he’s struggling with who he is. all along he’s wanted to be a stark, not just the stark bastard. now he’s a targaryen? who’s the one person who told him he was a stark when no one else would? Sansa. im not a stark, you are to me. jon doesnt have the stark name, but i do. together, they are house stark. if he married her, he could claim the name he always wanted. it would be an amazing call back to ned & cat under the godswood back in season 1 if we had jon and sansa here as well.

all i can think about when i see these scenes are something i mentioned above: how are the dragons going to feed without putting the whole north into starvation? originally id been worried about the army dany was bringing with her but this... this is the real problem. look at all the bones jon and dany have to cross to get to her dragons. how much livestock and wild animals have died to feed these things? how many more innocent children / people have been killed already in wintertown? that livestock / animals could be feeding the people, but they arent. 

this leads me to this next moment

wow my girl looks so sad here :(

im having a LOT of mixed feelings about what’s got sansa so down. she’s in a new dress entirely (note the neckline) so im not sure where to place this in the timeline of everything. i could refer this moment to SO MANY THINGS. is she watching jon and dany? a new thought that has come to me is... have the dragons burned someone? is this her reacting to someone crying over a dead child / loved one? im having a lot of flash backs to how dany looked when the father brought her his daughter’s charred corpse. 

her lips are parting like she means to say something but cant find her voice. she’s standing in winterfell’s courtyard, so who else is around her? we’re not privy to anyone in the background or before her, so again, we can only infer from what the trailer is giving us. 

is she watching jon and dany as they walk away to visit the dragons? have she and jon just argued? is she watching HIM walk away to brood in the godswood, feeling down himself after learning who his parents were? it could literally be anything that’s making her look this sad. im leaning towards it being jon related, but wow if it were something to do with the dragons burning someone... wow. 

i feel like this is where im going to end.

the rest of the trailer are quick glimpses of scenes and faces. arya fighting with the same background as brienne, tyrion looking hella depressed, drogon hitting us with a fire blast, the dothraki & brienne/jaime/ ect in line to fight, and of course the epic moment where we see the first glimpse of a white walker.

overall, this trailer was great. 

it gave us just enough without being TOO much. i thought id be let down once we did get a trailer only because we’ve been waiting so long!! but it’s amped me up and got me even more excited for the season to come!!

if you’ve made it this far... thanks for reading! lets chat about all things game of thrones! my ask box is always open~! :)
