“When you play the game of thrones…” All my past GoT fanart have pretty much been photo copies, so I really wanted to do something different this time :)  If anyone thinks this is spoiler-y let me know, I personally don’t think it is but sometimes I’m wrong lol

In winter we must protect one another, keep each other warm, share our strengths.

Sansa Stark for @nightshade-zoe 

“My skin turned to porcelain, to ivory, to steel.”

[trashy-greyjoy]

‘if you please, my lady, will you take my arm?’

‘no.’

‘lord ramsay, he said i am to take your arm.’

‘i’m not touching you.’

“It was only a castle when she began, but before very long Sansa knew it was Winterfell.”

I never met my mother. My father wouldn’t even tell me her name. I don’t know if she’s living or dead.

If I am ever a queen, I’ll make them love me.                 I want to make my kingdom beautiful.

28. I'm not putting ships because I want you to write what you feel in your heart

Ice.

That’s the first thing Daenerys thinks when she sees Sansa Stark’s eye. Blue and beautiful, to be sure, but they are like ice.

She does not like me already. 

That’s alright. Lots of people don’t like Daenerys before they meet her, and many of those people don’t like her even after they have gotten to know her. She isn’t here to be liked. She is here to rule, and at this moment, to save the North.

.

Sansa Stark’s iciness does not melt, no matter how kind Daenerys is to her. The Lady of Winterfell is as cold and unyielding as the rest of the North, and Daenerys decides she will be glad to put this horrible, miserable place and its horrible, miserable lady behind her. 

.

The Battle for Winterfell nearly destroys them. Thousands of men die, and Daenerys weeps for them all, but none more so than Ser Jorah. He was her oldest friend, her most trusted adviser, her Sworn Shield.

And now he is dead.

There is a feast after they burn the bodies, to celebrate their victory...but it is a hollow victory. Daenerys excuses herself as soon as it is polite to do so, preferring the solace of her chamber to the din in the hall.

She never makes it to her chamber, because in the turret stairs she finds Sansa Stark standing at the window, watching the pyres burn. When she turns to regard the intruder, Daenerys sees tears streaming from her eyes. 

The ice is melting, she thinks bizarrely.

And then something even more bizarre happens; Sansa Starks throws her arms around Daenerys, burying her face in her shoulder as she sobs.

She lost someone she loved, too, Daenerys remembers, putting her arms around the other woman. Tears fall from her own eyes. Maybe this won’t change anything, and in the morning, maybe Sansa Stark will still hate her...but for now, it feels good to hold and be held.

If one thing had been different would everything be different?

[greyjvy]

just a reminder that i’m not an anti daenerys, even if i have a show! sansa icon. i like/love/tolerate most characters on the show and i started reading the books and my sentiments are the same. 

i will never reblog or post something that is anti daenerys, especially since she is one of my favorite characters <3

game of thrones fashion + sansa stark

Michele Clapton talking about Sansa’s costumes:

It’s important that the costumes reflect each character’s individual journey. I always like to tell a story through the clothes, and I think it helps the actors, too. Sansa is a perfect example of this. She leaves Winterfell for a life at court early in the first season and begins to take on more and more of Queen Cersei’s traits as season one goes on. By the end of the season, she’s really starting to look like her. But in season two, her dresses are destroyed in the first half of the season, and Sansa starts reverting back to her childhood. The colors start coming down, and she’s trying to alter things back to where she was. So at the end of it, she’s wearing something closer to her mother’s look. She’s come full circle.

A lot of people said her costume doesn’t fit. Well, of course it doesn’t! She’s a young girl trying to copy someone. Not everyone wears things brilliantly or beautifully, or has the access to do that. I think it’s really important that some things don’t fit. Some things are slightly odd.

(about the wedding dress) Her story starts at her lower back where the Tully fish and Stark Direwolf entwine as we move round to the front the Lannister Lion is becoming dominant over the Diawolf and at the back neck the Lions head is stamped onto Sansa. The dress colour was still very much Sansa Stark and the embroidery had pale golden tones but woven through the story are ripe red pomegranates, the red colour symbolising the growing Lannister influence over her.

Kevin Alexander talking about Sansa’s hair:

Everyone is breaking Sansa, all the way through the third season. They’re chipping away at her bit by bit. As time goes on, she starts to not care. We didn’t want her to go too glamorous.

Alexander tells he was really excited to do Sansa’s hair in the elaborate wedding style, because as he put it, the team is usually “deconstructing” hair on the show, making it look dirty and disgusting. For Sansa’s big moment she wore twisted braids woven through with tiny pearls and gold thread.
