#my face @ sansa haters rn #whatchu even doin #the political game is predicated upon the rhythms of stories asshats #and the king’s court and all its occupants are just dancing on the strings of the narratives handed down to them #jaime lannister is three times this girl’s age and deludes himself to how much his life is ruled by the chivalric tenets of medieval life #whilst she #a prisoner of war; abandoned daughter of a ruined house; betrothed to an unrepentant megalomanic #can scrutinise her surroundings and see the edges where the story has started to fray #and don her courtly armour sans chink so no one can recognise what’s ticking beneath those porcelain doll features #(except for oh idk littlefinger and tyrion - two of the game’s most astute players - who see her as a powerhouse and a threat) #if clear-eyed perception in the middle of a war zone #and weaving a dance as intricate as the motherfucking adult most consummate players in the kingdom #isn’t bad-ass than i don’t know what is #sansa stark is the beating heart and strong centre of these books #don’t like her; that’s your prerogative #but if you think she’s THAT narratively irrelevant that she can be tossed aside then you need to back the fuck up#sansa stark is coming for the whole of your goddamn story fools
