Winterfell's Daughter

Sansa Stark, Queen in the North. daughter of winterfell. Steel forged from porcelain & ivory. I'll never know why you favour that tone. Not one shred of hope, so I built up my own. Oh, but I'm not bitter, I'm just tired, No use getting angry at the way that you're wired. A dark politician will end up alone. Is it real? You believe you're guiltless independent, selective asoiaf blog. book & show influenced. au, oc, & crossover compatible. cared for by jules.

My DnD oc is ready to go! Follow @woodwarped & check out her bio :-)

Helloooooooooo.

I’ve been roleplaying for over 13 years at this point, and my tendency is to step away for short periods at a time (usually due to current life circumstances), and then come back around to being active. Now that I’ve finally got internet at my apartment, activity won’t be as difficult on that level. However, I am working a LOT right now; the leadership role I was given just before our pandemic-related closure has been pushed into high gear as we reopen.

ANYWAY, I have a question for y’all - well, maybe two questions. First, do you remember me? lmao. Second, if you do remember me, would any of you have an interest in writing with my DnD OC? I love Sansa, but I’ve become quite passionate about my OC in recent months, SO. I guess, like this or tell me if you’d write with her. She’s a changeling druid who grew up in a forest inhabited by wood elves. 

I hope you’re all doing well, lots of love, and I hope to be writing with you soon!

Sansa read her work over and over again, in a seemingly FRUITLESS effort to perfect the words upon the page. Several bits of parchment were scattered about the desk, her pot of ink running quite low for all the attempts she’d already made.

When she was finally satisfied (enough) with the letter’s contents, she sent it to be hand-delivered to Theon. She wondered whether his response would come in the form of a letter or in person. Either way, her nerves were bound to get the better of her, so she busied herself with a bit of reading in the meantime.

OPEN STARTER (mutual followers only, please)

“Do you ever wonder if you’re in the right place? If you were meant to be where you are, or if you just happened to be born into it?” Oftentimes it occurred to Sansa that she could very easily have been a nobody in terms of society. Would she have been better off as a subject than the daughter of a ruler? Would she be the same person she was now? Would she ever have found her FIGHT - or might she have found it sooner? There was no knowing. 

As much as she contemplated the notion, however, she always circled back around to the realization that she would not trade her life or experience (good and bad alike) for any other. Whether or not ruling had always been her intended fate, she had earned it with blood, grief, sacrifice, and RESILIENCE.

welp...I’m suddenly free from work for at least two weeks...dare I say it?

I’M BACK, BITCHES! #freethesansa 😂

LIFE UPDATE: 

basically...I’ve been promoted to a managerial role & have very little free time between that & lash clients. Obviously this is going to result in SUPER LOW ACTIVITY for the foreseeable future until I can get my life sorted. lmao. ANYWAY, please catch me in Tumblr IMs or on Discord in the meantime. LOVE YOU GUYS (FROM AFAR AT THE MOMENT, BUT STILL).

starter for @inlusttris​ (tormund)

“What’s this nonsense I hear about you LEAVING Winterfell? You’ve barely given it a chance at all and you’re set to abandon us already?” Sansa’s tone matched the ferocity in her heart; she had thought Tormund was enjoying Winterfell, that relations between the Northerners and the Free Folk were finally improving, and it had seemed as though--perhaps she’d only been imagining it--he’d begun to care for her, too. “How are we meant to repair the rift between our people if you aren’t HERE?” she demanded, all too aware that she was letting her emotions get the better of her. A lady ought not to act in such a manner, but what was a lady to do when one she cared so well for was about to make an AWFUL mistake? “You can’t just run away.”

HEY Y’ALL! I thought this was such a clever graphic, but now that I really look at it…ANYWAY, I’m here, I’m doing things, it’s all happening…WHO WANTS TO PLOT STUFF? Like this & I’ll come invade your Tumblr IMs. Mutuals can also ask for my discord!

How I know I’m old: I’ve only just figured out that I can connect my laptop to my phone’s WiFi via hotspot. Like 3 years later.

Thanks for tuning in to today’s episode of “when you start having senior moments in your early 30s” with Jules. Come back tomorrow to hear about all the photo editing features I still have no idea how to use.

“True change takes TIME.” Sansa was speaking to Val, but the words were true in many a sense. It would take time for her to free herself from the memories of her past, and it would take time for her people and Val’s people to put their past aside, as well.
