READ THIS. READ THIS NOW. BECAUSE IT IS PERFECT.
SANSA. LET US TALK ABOUT SANSA.
Up-front statement (of fact): best construction of a character/arc in all of the books. THE SINGULAR BEST. Top form, most perfect writing, most worthy of analysis, deepest, most…
In honor of Cersei and Sansa & for my friend Olivia X)
{also for stupid school}Strength As A Willpower, Not As A Physical Ability.
ASOIF Major Arcana | The Strength is about combining two strengths to overcome weakness. The Maiden is weak of form, but her mastery of herself is powerful. The Lion is strong of form, but weak when it comes to mastering himself. The Maiden’s commands overcome the Lion’s weakness, and his form overcomes the Maiden’s weakness. This is why the Maiden doesn’t try to harness the lion to a chariot, nor does she run from it or try to kill it. She meets its eyes, touches it, embraces it. This is a card about understanding our wild natures, accepting them, yet also gentling those passions so that they work for us rather than against us. Putting these two strengths together creates perseverance, personal honor, and courage.

“Another lesson you should learn, if you hope to sit beside my son. Be gentle on a night like this and you’ll have treasons popping up all about you like mushrooms after a hard rain. The only way to keep your people loyal is to make certain they fear you more than they do the enemy.”
“I will remember, Your Grace,” said Sansa, though she had always heard that love was a surer route to the people’s loyalty than fear. If I am ever queen, I will make them love me.”

Every once in a while you stumble across something in fandom that really cracks an issue open for you and lets you see inside it as if for the first time. I wish I could remember who pointed out this to me, but here’s one of them.
Lots of people hate Sansa, in large part…

“Queen you shall be … until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.”
I’m not judging you, but I’m honestly wondering how you can read this series (assuming you’ve read the series) and actively dislike her. I honestly think that that’s crazy. What I’ve found with people who dislike Sansa is that they don’t understand what the context of ASOIAF means…
I will not cringe for them {Cersei Lannister} She would show these northerners how strong a Tully of Riverrun could be {Catelyn Tully} I have never been nothing {Daenerys Targaryen} Brave, I’m a Stark, yes, I can be brave {Sansa Stark} Fear cuts deeper than swords {Arya Stark} Winter will never come for the likes of us {Brienne of Tarth} The night is dark and full of terrors {Melisandre}
The women are the strong ones, truly {The Soiled Knight}

Dear Sansa Haters,
Remember that time that you were eleven and pushed into an arranged marriage by your family, and in the process of trying to please the family you’re marrying into you discovered that you had no chance of keeping everyone happy, but tried anyway? And then you fucked up because,…
