there was a lot of "aerion was right to beat the shit out of tanselle" talk when the episode aired, and definitely what she was doing was risky as baelor points out. but this ~lowkey treason~ happens all the time and kinder rulers overlook it. see tyrion:
When the wine was poured, Lord Gyles rose to lift a cup to the king, and Ser Balon Swann was heard to remark, ‘We’ll need three cups for that.’ Many laughed …”
Tyrion raised a hand. “Enough. Ser Balon made a jest. I am not interested in treasonous table talk, Lord Varys.”
it's ridiculous to go after people for dumb shit. but let's note who does go after people for dumb shit:
The last case was a plump tavern singer, accused of making a song that ridiculed the late King Robert. Joff commanded them to fetch his woodharp and ordered him to perform the song for the court. The singer wept and swore he would never sing that song again, but the king insisted. It was sort of a funny song, all about Robert fighting with a pig. The pig was the boar who'd killed him, Sansa knew, but in some verses it almost sounded as if he were singing about the queen. When the song was done, Joffrey announced that he'd decided to be merciful. The singer could keep either his fingers or his tongue. He would have a day to make his choice.
wow it's almost as if.....aerion was overreacting bc he's a shitty little spoiled sadist who takes offense at a show for children just like the other main series shitty little spoiled sadist who takes offense at goofy shit. imagine that!
“- Princess Elia was there, his wife, and yet my brother gave the crown to the Stark girl, and later stole her away from her betrothed. How could he do that? Did the Dornish woman treat him so ill?
- It is not for such as me to say what might have been in your brother’s heart, Your Grace, The Princess Elia was a good and gracious lady, though her health was ever delicate.
- Viserys said once that it was my fault, for being born too late. If I had been born more timely, he said, Rhaegar would have married me instead of Elia, and it would all have come out different. If Rhaegar had been happy in his wife, he would not have needed the Stark girl.
- Perhaps so, Your Grace. But I am not certain it was in Rhaegar to be happy.”

MAIDEN:
“One of Persephones common Epiphets is Kore, meaning ‘the maiden’
“I dreamt of a maiden at a feast with purple serpents in her hair (...) I dreamt of that maid again, slaying a savage giant in a castle maid of snow.” — ASOS, Arya VIII
BEAUTIFUL:
“She [Demeter] was answered by Persephone, the most beautiful.”
“Ser Ossifer speaks truly, you are the most beautiful maid in all the Seven Kingdoms.” TWOW - Alayne I
FLOWERS:
She was picking flowers: roses, crocus, and beautiful violets.
When the white horse stopped in front of her, she thought her heart would burst. To the other maidens he had given white roses, but the one he plucked for her was red. “Sweet lady,” he said, “No victory is half so beautiful as you.” Sansa took the flower timidly, struck dumb by his gallantry. His hair was a mass of lazy brown curls, his eyes like liquid gold. She inhaled the sweet fragrance of the rose and sat clutching it long after Ser Loras had ridden off. […] Septa Mordane quickly took a hand. “Sweet child, this is Lord Petyr Baelish, of the king’s small council.” “Your mother was my queen of beauty once.” The man said quietly. — A Game Of Thrones, Sansa II
NARCISSUS (JONQUIL) IMAGAERY:
"It [the narcissus] was a wondrous thing in its splendor. To look at it gives a sense of holy awe to the immortal gods as well as mortal humans. It has a hundred heads growing from the root up. Its sweet fragrance spread over the wide skies up above. And the earth below smiled back in all its radiance. So too the churning mass of the salty sea. She [Persephone] was filled with a sense of wonder, and she reached out with both hands to take hold of the pretty plaything."
Dontos chuckled. "My Jonquil's a clever girl, isn't she?" -- ACOK Sansa IV
PLOTS TO MARRY HER:
She was given away by Zeus, the loud-thunderer, the one who sees far and wide. (...) She was being taken, against her will, at the behest of Zeus, by her father’s brother.
‘Petyr Baelish had offered to wed the girl himself, she recalled.’ – Cersei II, ADWD.
GOD OF RICHES AND COIN:
Hades is Ploutos [Wealth personified], who gives riches to mortal humans.
He serves as master of coin on the small council of King Robert I Baratheon.
ABDUCTION:
“The son of Kronos. The one known by many names. He seized her against her will, put her on his golden chariot, And drove away as she wept.
“As was bringing me here, when you swore to take me home."” — ASOS, Sansa VII
GRIEVING MOTHER :
“She sped off like a bird, soaring over land and sea, looking and looking. But no one was willing to tell her the truth [etêtuma], not one of the gods, not one of the mortal humans, not one of the birds, messengers of the truth [etêtuma]. Thereafter, for nine days did the Lady Demeter wander all over the earth, holding torches ablaze in her hands. Not once did she take of ambrosia and nectar, sweet to drink, in her grief, nor did she bathe her skin in water.”
“I should have let Lysa push him out her Moon Door. My poor sweet Sansa . . . why would anyone do this to her?” — ASOS, Catelyn IV
POMEGRANATE:
“but he, stealthily, put into my hand the berry of the pomegranate, that honey-sweet food, and he compelled me by biâ to eat of it..”
“Petyr cut a pomegranate in two with his dagger, offering half to Sansa. “You should try and eat, my lady.” “Thank you, my lord.” Pomegranate seeds were so messy. — ASOS, Sansa VII
SUBJECT OF JEALOUSY:
“Mint, men say, was once a maid beneath the earth, a Nymph of Cocytus, and she lay in the bed of Aidoneus; but when he raped the maid Persephone from the Aetnaean hill, then she complained loudly with overweening words and raved foolishly for jealousy […]”
“You can't want her. You can't. She's a stupid empty-headed little girl. She doesn't love you the way I have. I've always loved you. I've proved it, haven't I?” — ASOS, Sansa VII
HYMNS :
“Hymn to Phersephone. Daughter of Zeus, Persephone divine, come, blessed queen, and to these rites incline: only-befotten, Plouton's [Haides'] honoured wife, O venerable Goddess, source of life: 'tis thine in earth's profundities to dwell, fast by the wide and dismal gates of hell.”
“Sansa knew most of the hymns, and followed along on those she did not know as best she could. ” — ACOK, Sansa V
Based on @goldensunandgoldenstallion ‘s fanfiction link
Sansa Stark, Jeyne Poole and Beth Cassel at Winterfell. They are wearing sarafan, tradition clothing from Russia. Sansa is obviously wearing grey because she is a Stark. In my headcannon the North is based on Russia and Scotland. I’ll draw them in Scottish fashion in the future.
P.S. I checked the ASOIAF wiki after finishing this art. I forgot that Beth Cassel supposed to have curly hair. I’m so sorry
Sansa in Dorne! We switch from cool palette to a pastel one. The outfit is based on a painting by Andalusian native Fransisco Soria Aedo. I happened to own yellow lemon copic so of course I must use it for Sansa.
Sansa in Riverland style dress. I modeled the Riverlands after the Low Countries (Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg). Sansa’s dress is based on paintings from Dutch Golden Age, but in Tully colours. The lace have round edges to make it look like fish scales.
Last but not least, Sansa as a full fledged witch!!!
Sansa Stark, this generation Thread Witch, making the Fashion Statement TM of the century. Her outfit is based on Imperial Russia Court Dress. I simply don’t have the energy to draw the gemstones/little details. Use your imagination. I imagine that she eventually settled with the Northern Coven and the Northern Renaissance happened under her leadership.
“Now a woman in her early twenties, Arianne is buxom and beautiful, with olive skin, large dark eyes and long, thick black hair that falls in ringlets to the middle of her back…Arianne prefers to wear silks.On one occasion she wears a jeweled girdle and loose layers of flowing purple silk and yellow samite, with snakeskin sandals lacing up to her thighs,and on another she wears scarlet silks.Arianne has a headband of copper suns, and her jewelry includes an ornate snake with copper and gold scales which she coils around her right forearm.”
Hey, fat people deserve to have fun and get their needs met even if they’re the least healthy mf you know. Fat people deserve proper medical care, and carbs, and to wear shorts and so many more things! EVEN IF THEY ARE UNWELL AND ESPECIALLY IF THAT UNWELLNESS IS DUE TO THEIR WEIGHT!!! Fat people deserve the world and more. Not just the healthy fats or attractive fats or small fats or fats that are fat because of medication or disability.
