I'm currently rewatching Game of Thrones (only to certain extend, maybe end till season 5 or 6 because the later seasons were shit) but anyway I was looking my blog's archive for GOT content and GOT edits were honestly the prettiest like?? the talent of got fandoms gifmakers and graphic makers just????? insane.

david benioff and db weiss were so turned on by the viewer response to ned stark’s death, bc they were so surprised by the death of the show’s main character, that they just rode that wave all the way to killing daenerys, another main character, just for the shock value and for the fact that people would then be talking about the show in this ted talk i will—

Q: Would you ever entertain the idea of returning to this character [Arya Stark]?

I can hand-over-my-heart say that I don’t think there’s going to be a spin off. The show was only what it was because of David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss], the show’s creators. They brought me into this world and it would be strange to do something without them. But I do think playing Arya again would be wonderful. I miss her a lot. I think the show needs to stew for a little bit, but maybe a ways down the road?

"this obsession that is has to be jon or gendry who love sansa doesnt make sense to me" i think this obsession is born from the fact that there are very few decent and handsome men of Sansa's age around lol - at least none that i can remember. people have also paired her with dickon tarly and podrick, which i admit are nice options.

I do think that’s a huge contributing factor to this. Just look at Sansa’s paired canon love interest: 

Tyrion - A much older man she was forced into a marriage with WHILE his family’s political prisoner. A family that executed her father and killed her mother and brother.

Sandor - A much old man who is cruel, rude, and abusive. One of the “romantic” scenes between her and him is literally him holding a knife to her throat and forcing her to sing as she cries and then blacks out, and she was so traumatized her brain changed the encounter to him kissing her.

Petyr - A much older man and pedophile grooming her to be his child bride. Also emotionally manipulative and abusive, he consistently gaslights her. And is responsible for manipulating the events that killed both her parents.

Joffrey - Physically, emotionally, and psychologically abusive. Is always 3 seconds away from killing Sansa at any given moment.

Ramsay - Her rapist. Abuser. Absolute monster.

I don’t have much sympathy for people shipping Sansa and Gendry because that’s just…. kinda spiteful IMO since Gendry is blatantly Arya’s love interest. 

That being said I do have a lot of sympathy for people who ship Jonsa. Imaging watching 6 seasons of men just being the ABSOLUTE worse to Sansa, and then Jon shows up and he treats her with dignity and respect, he protects her, he never sexualizes her or takes advantage of her, and he’s just overall selflessly kind to her. Then adding on the factors that he’s biologically her cousin (which in ASOIAF isn’t even really considered incest) and they weren’t close as children so they don’t extremely view one another as “brother and sister” like Jon might see Arya, Robb or Bran… I understand where the shipping logic lies in that.

Sansa stans have almost no viable options for her that aren’t blatantly pedophilic with abusive undertones. Maybe Margaery but Sansa has now been permanently torn from her, they likely won’t meet again, and it’s unlikely GRRM was ever writing them as love interests to begin with.

I get it. I don’t ship it myself but I’m not about to sit here on a high horse and act like I don’t understand why other people DO. Like you said it’s the same logic of shipping her with Podrick or Dickon. “Wow, two appropriate men in her general vicinity who wouldn’t rape her”. That’s the qualifications we be looking for on resumes now.

Honestly on a random side note Podsa would have been SO ABSOLUTELY CUTE and wouldn’t have even been absurd or unreasonable. Pod is from a noble house, he’s a knight, and he was Brienne’s squire so he spent a lot of time around Sansa. It could have made a lot of sense for them to come together in some capacity. Also at least in show-verse I think Theon was a genuine contender for love interest. I do feel his last few episodes alive they writers were heavy-handed with the romantic undertones with Theonsa, and they weren’t afraid to go there because they knew Theon was gonna die so they didn’t need to worry about “well what if Sansa wanted to marry him”, because they took away her choice.

It just kinda fucking sucks Sansa ended the series completely alone when she coulda have Pod or Theon by her side. I’ve definitely talked myself into a circle here and lost sight of what the point was.

I agree with you.

That one is a good one!

So apparently Game of Thrones will show up at San Diego Comic Con one last time. And these fucking cowards (pardon my language) won’t be there! Dumb and Dumber will keep hiding in their little cave for eternity.

Like you made this season. At least have some dignity, show up and admit that maybe (definitely) you made some (a lot of) mistakes. And if you want to stick with the ending, have the courage to explain what made you create it.

It was their show, they were responsible for it. They fucked up and now they’re hiding.

Of course people would trash them and it wouldn’t be pleasant. But by not showing up with the cast and George, they’re not making things any better.

And the reason why they’re not coming? They have no explanation, they don’t know how to defend it, they know they’re a joke and people like them won’t admit to a failure. And if they would come and admit it it could cost them their Star Wars deal.

They are hungry for money so they stopped caring for the show. They won’t show up because then they would have to answer uncomfortable questions. They’re disrespecting the cast, the crew and George. Spitting on them by making them face the rage and disappointment. And they don’t care about it as long as they can get that sweet Disney money.

Disgusting. Disgraceful.

My only request is for people at SDCC to be kind for the cast, crew who’ll be there. Don’t trash them, don’t hate on them. Cheer on them, thank them for all those years, they did their job excellently and deserve the praise.
