I Love Gendry

| game of thrones | gendrya | Sansa is the one true queen |

[geraltcirilla]

One of my biggest issues with season 8 is that it was so rushed that many scenes of important character dialogue and reflection had to be cut. Therefore I’ve complied a list of canon-compliant cut-scenes or outright fix-its for various episodes. The scenes we deserved to see but were robbed of.

I haven’t spoken about my son, Gendry, in a cool minute so I’m just gonna make a list of all the reasons I love him:

he’s a rude boy to his future father in law

constantly says “fuck the patriarchy”

talks shit about his own dad even though he doesn’t know that’s his biological father

is a stubborn boy who refuses to change his stance

is promptly called “the Bull”

is a very skilled blacksmith despite only being an armorer’s apprentice

distrustful of people of high status

only trusts Arya

is loyal af. the epitome of Ride or Die

even though Arya calls him “stupid”, he’s actually very perceptive

playful with only Arya

smiles and laughs only when in company of Arya

Ser Gendry of the Hollow Hill

currently protecting orphans in the war torn Riverlands at the last place Arya was spotted

also currently working/following Lady Stoneheart

his attitude toward Brienne (the most precious bean of all) is downright hilarious

while also showing you the huge contrast of his behavior and attitude post!Arya

always ready to throw hands and throw down

“Lords and Ladies”

is rude to poor Ned Dayne because of Arya

petty arguments with Arya that end up with him following her anyways

his interactions with Arya in general

there’s a bunch more but these are just the ones off the top of my head. feel free to add more.

The other “Last Targaryen”

So let’s just take a moment to simmer on the fact that there is technically another Targaryen left in the world. During Robert’s Rebellion, the Maesters justified Roberts claim to the Iron Throne due to the fact that his grandmother was Rhaelle Targaryen. Having Targaryen lineage justifies his claim to overtake the Iron Throne from the Mad King. So yes.. Robert and Daenerys were actually cousins (2nd?).

So yes…ladies and gentlemen…the other Targaryen left besides Jon with a legitimate claim to the Iron Throne, who in an ironic twist of fate was legitimized by Daenerys herself, is none other than this baller right here….

The great grandson of Rhaelle Targaryen

they really said fuck acorn hall, the peach, the my featherbed song, the foreshadowing, the ‘you have a son, i have a daughter, let’s join our houses’ line, the robert/lyanna parallels, the years they spent on the road together, the ‘i can be your family’, their friendship connection, their romantic connection…they really said fuck the fans lmao

End Credit Scene

[cesei]

you know what was really beautiful?

the entire show, sansa’s hair has ALWAYS been inspired by her female mentors. she had hairstyles inspired by catelyn, cersei, margaery and even myranda, depending on whose control she was under. but when she finally became queen in the north, her hair was long and loose, for the first time ever. she was finally sansa stark, free from other people controlling her.

In Season One, Sansa Stark showed me that there’s no shame in being naive, making easy mistakes or being innocent, and that all of these traits don’t mean that you will never be of worth in life. They just mean that you’re a child, and that you have a full life to pick yourself up and be the person you were destined to be. 

In Season Two, Sansa Stark showed me that physical strength isn’t the only one of worth, as emotional and intellectual strength matters just as much. She quickly adapted to her new environment filled with the worst players in the game of thrones, yet she faked this facade, navigated the court like an expert and despite all of the abuse she was being given, kept her head high, kept believing that things could be better, and she was still full of love and empathy for others. 

In Season Three and Four, Sansa Stark showed me that even the humblest of people, can learn and grow slowly, and better a force to be reckoned with on their own. Sansa was passed around like a political pawn all in order for other people to gain advantage, and everybody underestimated her importance and her worth, but she grew, and quite quickly at that, and ended up managing to manipulate grown men and women in power all to further her own goal. 

In Season Five, Sansa Stark showed me that the key to surviving isn’t brute strength or pessimism, but rather, a gentle heart and soul. She found Theon, the same person who took her home from her brother’s hands whose action led to the suffering of many, and helped him embrace his true identity as Theon Greyjoy of House Stark. It was through love that she was able to get his allegiance, and that love pushed him to help Sansa escape Winterfell. 

In Season Six, Sansa Stark showed me that strength doesn’t come from abuse, it’s there despite it. She went through trauma others wouldn’t even dare to imagine, and yet it was through the fire that was always in her that she was able to start a rebellion right after what she went through, convince her brother to embrace his identity as a hero, to help gather all of the northern houses, and to at the end of the day, win the war and kill her abuser, all for herself, for her family and for the people in the North. The little bird truly has always been a phoenix. 

In Season Seven and Eight, Sansa Stark showed me that it isn’t fear or simply killing the enemy that will make you earn the respect of the people, it’s through love of who she is and what she represents and respect what she does. Sansa strategically handled the rations to make sure that all of her people would have access to food for the rest of the winter, she puts importance to what the lords and ladies of the North have to say, she listens to her advisers and ask for their input on matters she knows less about, she cares far more about the safety and health of her soldiers than she does about having revenge on her abuser, she kept the castle open for her people till the very last moment despite the contrary would be more convenient for her, and at the end of the day, her guards respect her, the lords respect her and the people respect her. 

Thank you Sansa Stark for messing up and picking yourself up again with grace, dignity and strength, for being a source of light even when your life was as it darkest, for empowering yourself when everyone else dismissed you, for being strong because of your gentle soul that touched many in and out of the story, for having such a truly empowering journey not because but despite the abuse you suffered, and for being the best queen we could have ever asked for. 

Thank you so much.

The Starks have ruled as the Kings of Winter from their seat in Winterfell for thousands of years, long before Aegon’s Conquest of Westeros. They became Lord Paramount of the North after King Torrhen bent the knee to the Targaryens. During the War of the Five Kings, Robb Stark became the first King in the North in centuries. In the aftermath of the Battle of the Bastards, Jon Snow was named King in the North. After the death of Daenerys Targaryen in her Conquest of Westeros, and the election of Brandon Stark to become the ruler of Westeros, Sansa Stark, once again declared Northern Independence and was crowned the first Queen in the North.

ok, so i get that in the past make up was a thing, but how does sansa just get the full beat with a smoky eye. what’s she using? ashes from kings landing? i need the palette sis

on the other hand, i wish they left sansa how she looks normally in terms of face, sophie turner has great skin and i wished they showed her great natural rosy cheeks

[icanbeyourfamily]

question: why is brienne part of the kingsguard

she serves the stark sisters

wouldn’t it make more sense for her to be a part of sansas queensguard

[icanbeyourfamily]

i swear if D&D don’t give me what i want from gendrya i’m going to riot!!! i need gendrya to happen so i can finally live my best life

also, if their excuse for no gendrya is the same bullshit excuse for the nymeria and aryas reunion i will fight everyone. ‘oh aryas too independent she don’t need a man’ fuck off i need this

[icanbeyourfamily]

thank you d&d, love you, will give you my firstborn, thanks for gendrya and the season will now be great

[icanbeyourfamily]

...

oh, my sweet summer child

[icanbeyourfamily]

so not one of those lords thought ‘oh, you know what might be a good idea, placing the crown back in baratheon hands, because roberts rule wasn’t that bad’

Team Gendrya, today is the day. We’ve endured seasons of Gendry rowing his boat, to them finally flirting, to forge sex, to a failed proposal. To Arya being bubbly and caring to being cold and reserved.

NOW TODAY IS THE DAY WE FIND OUT IF OUR SHIP HAS SAILED!

TEAM GENDRYA ARISE!!!!

[brandisego-deactivated20221106]

Is this just a coincidence? I THINK NOT

S8 Wishlist 50/?

*Arya’s pregnant*

Gendry: Oh god, we can’t raise a baby! How are we supposed to look after someone so weak and helpless?

Arya: I mean, we had Hot Pie.

[love-too-believe]

The amount of fanfics that exist where Gendry hates the idea of becoming a Lord shows how fans understand Gendry more then D&D

[leviloviatar]

Hey since the show is shit, can you tell me what your favourite things about arya and gendrys relationship in the books are? Love your answers!

What a fucking great ask, Anon, thank you!!!

There is literally so much to talk about when it comes to their relationship, but since we have all been dealing with HBO’s fanfic I thought I would give you a sweet dose of the canon material to cleanse your soul. 

So, with that in mind, here is an extensive list of my favorite aspects of Arya and Gendry’s relationship from the books:
