This is something I asked myself so often. Technically I wouldn’t spend much thought on the ship if the fans wouldn’t make depictions which are bafflingly OOC, and make claims about the book canon which I can not subscribe to. (Sure Natalie Dormer dropping the line “[…] or girls” might been the straw that broke the camel’s back to motivate shippers yet show =/= books, and Dormer!Margaery keeps on using charm and light flirtation as means of persuasion, if not manipulation.) There’s so much in this ship I can not understand in their chracrisation and their dynamic… Rant under the cut

So the entire “uwu pastel lesbians holding hands and being nice” attributed to this ship not only causes a knee-jerk reaction in me (can the “women are always docile and soft” trend as default for f/f-reationships die out please? There’re several reasons why this trend is short sighted) but is also not Sansa and Margaery at all…

Sansa is gentle, a bit naive, and likes feminine things - BUT she’s also introverted, oberservative, politically tactical (she dresses and chooses words to persuade or avoid antagonizing actions of Jeoffrey, Cersei, and is highly aware of her social position in the King’s Landing court, at the age of 11!), and actually grows healthily suspicious of lulling friendliness. Also, the WoW-sneak-peak in which she vocally, and publically confronts Harry being a stuck up idiot? Sansa seems sweet and soft but she has bite and isn’t easily trusting anymore. Amongst others, Margaery and her Tyrell entourage were part of her reasons to leave her dellusions behind. And Margaery… there’s so much I don’t get about her fandom depiction. Frequently the intriguies at Highgarden are mentioned, she’s the closest her Grandmother, who’s a sheming personality herself. Margaery and her family take over the throne at King’s landing after Tywin’s death, pushing the Lannisters into secondary postion, and cultivated their image as the saviors of King’s Landing when they actually caused the city to starve before. The Tyrell’s have ulterior political goals, primarily putting Margery in a significant positon as Westeros’s queen. This family and Margaery herself are political opportunist for the chance to grasp politial power. But overall Margery is a schemer herself. Her being sweet, seeming gentle is an appeal for her to seem persuasive. Her upbringing made her strategically versed, Margaery isn’t just a sweet girl. She has a bite too. Where does the idea come from that both are soft and perfectly matchable when Sansa and Margaery are both intelligent but also conspiring, with different poltical goals - Sansa prefering to avoid violence and revenge, whereas Margaery accepts opportunism, and using others to reach her political goals.

What I mean is, she’s even more dangerous, as she has a luring method to draw people in with emotional appeal by kind words, and compliments. Her strategy isn’t aggressive which is why she’s so suscessful at getting out of people what she wants. (Frankly, Cersei did the same with Sansa before Ned got imprisoned by sweet talking Sansa to tell what ned planned for the price to continue residing in King’s Landing.) Olenna and Margaery invite Sansa to a common meal to find out more about Jeoffrey. And then they continue to keep her close to convince her to marry Willas. And why would they want the daughter of a traitor to the family Margaery marries in, to marry their heir? Tywin spells is out: The Tyrell’s would’ve the powers of North. Meaning, the Tyrell’s would overpower the Lannisters - in Westeros, when they already recieve greater public support in KL than the Lannisters. But the moment Sansa is forced to marry Tyrion, all Tyrell girls, including Margaery, drop out of the picture, avoiding her, now that she can’t be used for the Tyrell’s political plans. Sansa herself reflects on how she was left alone by Margaery. Rereading the Sansa-Margaery-scenes was kind of discomforting when I realized how many questions were goal oriented to gather information, rather than being actually compassionate.

The only Tyrell approaching Sansa and Trion, being kind the couple as whole and to them individually is Garlan. Tyrion, taken away all credit for him actually saving KL, already despised by many, mocked because he doesn’t force Sansa to consumate their marriage. Sansa, avoided as being Ned’s daughter, are the couple with the socially most disregarded couple in the KL-court, and still Garlan is nice to them. He had nothing to gain from his friendliness but he was friendly anyway - when Tyrion and Sansa were both miserable, even more because they couldn’t express their emtions in private. Garlan was unconditionally kind. Not Margaery.

Full offense the entire fandom depiction of Margaery being a Sansa-defense-squad-leader, or being besties is simply above my understanding because BITCH, WHEN DID MARGAERY ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT SANSA AS A PERSON INSTEAD OF A POLTICAL TOOL TO BE DROPPED AFTER SHE COULDN’T BE USED ANYMORE?! Also, what OP said!

AND I COULD THROW A FIT FOR EVERY DEPICTION OF SANSA AND MARGAERY AS BESTIES! Margery is kind after the battle of KL but as I mentioned, this was a strategical movement. Sansa’s given everything she wished for, Lemon cakes a fancy, seemingly sweet friend to be persuaded into marrying Willas and spilling the beans about Jeoffrey. Sansa admires her grace - until Margaery drops her in an instant, and Sansa only thinks about her being mislead. Sansa’s best friend is Jeyne Poole who she misses dearly. She thinks about her, Jeyne recounts her friendhsip to Sansa to Theon- the were actual friends. Did the fandom collectively forget about that?! Plus, we know have the potential of Myranda Royce and Mya Stone becoming Sansa’s friends at the Eyre. However, sure, let’s take the one that planned to use and finally abandoned Sansa as BFF.

The ship could be interesting with to ambitious and secretive characters but the fandom creates the perhaps most OOC characterisation and all-edges-sanded-off-version out of these two. I’m so annoyed.

I’m really the only person who doesn’t like sansaery? I mean, Margaery doesn’t give a damn about Sansa, she uses her for what she needs and then she is more than willing to put her aside or watch her turn into the scapegoat of Joffrey’s murder. Seriously, where does that idea of Sansa and Margaery as best friends or girlfriends come from?
