people think sansa and gendry will rule and be married because gendry has been legitimized. they think jonsa "don't have that kind of relationship." but gendry and sansa do? gendry who is in love with her sister, arya? sansa who values family above all will get with someone arya is love with and be the perfect queen to his king when arya always resented sansa being a better lady than her? i wouldn't mind it if arya and gendry hadn't had such a romantic vibe this season, if it'd stayed as - 1
friendship plus a bit of childish attraction, but they love each other. he proposed to her. this is something serious. gendry’s a good dude but we’ve spent an entire season with an outsider (dany) coming between the starks. i don’t need to see arya hurt because the man she loves would get on better with her sister who embodies the role of a lady that she herself never found easy and then rejected. if i can’t have jonsa, i’d rather nearly anything else than this. - 2
I seriously do not see Gendry and Sansa, not at all. If Sansa will end up with somebody it won’t be someone she hasn’t even interacted with. That would be really very sloppy - not that I would put sloppy writing beyond D&D, but I can’t see GRRM doing that.
I honestly don’t get it. Sansa is shipped and paired with about any eligible bachelor (or even not bachelor, if you think about Stannis/Sansa shipping), and yet JON IS RIGHT THERE.
Jon who fulfills everything her father promised, who fits all the fairy tale allusions in Sansa’s arc etc. Jon and Sansa who have the Beren and Luthien, Aragorn and Arwen, Odysseus and Penelope paralllels.
I really want Jonsa acknowledged next episode, even if they don’t get to be together, just because I can’t fathom how the quagzillion Jonsa hints in the book would just evaporate into dust.
For our Jonsa thirst there will always be fic, but it makes zero sense to pair up Gendry with Sansa, and I would hate it as well.
