IF YOURE SANSA MANDERLY STARK
And you realize, after your uncle Edric dies, that your husband Jonnel is going to name not Edric’s son Cregard his new heir, but his other brother Barthogan as his heir. He is doing this specifically because “Cregan died after Rickon, so since Rickon wasn’t a Lord, it passes to Cregan’s next born son. Since Edric wasn’t a lord, it passes to Barthogan.” You are very mad because you and your sister Serena have been raising Cregard to rule and now you’re worried about her daughters, and her sons, and what becomes of you if Jonnel also dies, and you’re still mad you were passed over, so you decide “yeah fuck it i’m not just going to set myself up well, i’m going to make sure i have the ability to take the lordship, make myself ruling lady, and make things easier for a woman to inherit because now i’m pissed off”
What do you like. Do. Marrying all of Serena’s kids well is important but what would “marry well” mean. Someone rich and southron who comes with money & a household that is loyal to the two of you? Someone Northern, who will back your claim because they have a vested interest in you ruling? A mix of both?
You have to get the King on your side right. Have an in with him so if someone complains he’s like “well a daughter before an uncle blah blah blah.” You want LYANNA and HER husband on your side, and you want all of ALY BLACKWOOD’S daughters and THEIR HUSBANDS on your side because if your ultimate goal is ABSOLUTE PRIMOGENITURE you want the older sisters on your side right. You want the people of Winters Town to like you more than Barthogan and Jonnel. You want to do good things for them, so you want money (again - good marriages for Serena’s children). You want to be more competent or at least seem more competent. You probably want like….what Barthogan and Brandon like Not In Winterfell with you…….
#like you need Some Fighting Dudes and Some Money. that’s the most important.#i can’t wait to get she wolves of winterfell and have canon serena be nothing like the one in my mind akskskdk#getting on my soap box#this is why i want a book about nymeria and mors. Fuck the targaryens i want a short story about how Nymeria & Mors set things up#so their oldest daughter could inherit. was there a conflict? that she just like. won?#after this i’m gonna write a whole family tree for nymeria & mors aksksjdjdj#i’m also thinking about like. well the north could have it post canon bc there’s just no men.#they’re all dead. whomst is gonna stop them. and that’s different akskdkd#and obviously the iron islands are gonna lighten up under asha.#who knows WHATS cookin in the rest of westeros tho.#i mean IN CANON jeyne arryn faces a few usurpations so IF sansa & serena take it from barthogan.#they are probably gonna face some issues from him and brandon for a MINUTE right
