Young Griff sounds like name of a rapper

Darkstar sounds like one of the X-Men.

Lol they are coping. The outline mentions Sansa's resolve to become Sansa Stark which means that it's an internal decision on her part to push away Baelish's consistent forcing of Alayne persona onto her. Secondly the white harbour news is mentioned for a reason. It's mostly likely the catalyst that triggers her to shed away her Alayne identity and resolve to come back into her own. Very much likely that it's going to be the news of Arya's marriage to Ramsay.

Yeah, it’s selective reading and plausible deniability working overtime to make their moth-eaten, barely standing arguments make sense. As always.

Exactly. The argument that ‘take north’ is Baelish’s plan falls in front of the news of White Harbour, whatever that may be - Arya’s wedding to Ramsey Bolton or that Rickon has been found alive on Skagos and brought back. Both are very compelling and will no wonder push Sansa to take matters into her own hands. Though I feel that the news will contain some information that will antagonise Baelish to Sansa fully and finally, making her resolve to run even stronger. So it could be the Arya news. I mean, selling your sister to a barbarous political enemy does make Baelish enemy no. 1. But that is all speculation at this point, considering the outline is 20 years old and solely for GRRM’s own reference.

What is with George and his blorbos choking women? First Tyrion and now Daemon. Seriously if the man thinks this kind of acts are adding more complexity to his faves' characterisation then the dude is on crack.

He thinks Daemon being a pedophile means he is a morally grey character lmao, that man has a very skewed idea on what a morally grey male character means.

To add to the JoJo analysis, Sansa considered Joffrey as her Prince Aemon which her father said that he was not. Later when Sansa is forcibly wed to Tyrion and Joffrey threatens to take her as his mistress, he compares himself to Aegon the Unworthy who was Prince Aemon's brother. Also there is that line about how bastards are not allowed to swordfight with princes when Jon says why he isn't allowed to spar with Joffrey.

Yes to all that. I wrote about it in some other metas.

Thank you :)

I have never understood why people use Sansa administering sweetsleep as motivation to kill Robert. The sweetsleep administering starts in the Eyrie itself. The question about Harry the Heir enters into the equation when they are at Gates of the Moon. By this time, she has ordered two dosages of sweetsleep and so I don't understand how people tie that as a motivation to her end result of Harry's betrothal because all of this i.e the sweetsleep doses have happened before the conversation about the betrothal even takes place. It means that Sansa is already trying to kill him before she even comes to know about Harry lol.

Secondly the dosages are administered in order to stop his epileptic fits. Another thing that Baelish tells her that they need to keep Robert healthy so that the lord's don't question them. Baelish also says that Robert is the key and is even self aware to admit that lowborns like him shouldn't target the Seat of the Arryns which also makes far more sense in the fact that the whole Harry plan is a sham and his key to the power is Robert.

Great thoughts as always, nimbledick.

What can I say? This fandom's specialty is struggling to follow events in chronological order.

The sweetsleep issue is indicative of their desperation to pin any fault on Sansa. It's almost unjust how much more we have to work with compared to them.

My most unpopular theory is that Littlefinger's grand plan is marrying Sansa. Thats it. I don't think there is anything more and I don't see any surprise reveals awaiting regarding his grand master plan. As far as his political plans are considered I have always felt he is a dynamic player and he doesn't have any definite endgame in his mind except marrying her. Whatever comes in his way he will grab that. Harrenhall is not something he was interested in nor has he ever expressed any ambitions to become Lord Paramount of Riverlands. It was simply a ruse so as to make himself of eligible station to marry Lysa. The fandom tries to overcomplicate him as some conflicted greyish dark villain when in truth he is like a non magical version of Euron Greyjoy.

Not an unpopular opinion on this here blog!

That man has only two priorities: climbing the ranks of power and Sansa Starks. Everything else is impulsive and subject to rapid change.

The whole point of his character is that she is his weakness, which will inevitably lead him to make incredibly foolish decisions, resulting in his downfall.

Even if someone is trying to look at the Duncan angle while analysing Ashford Tourney doesn't it make sense to apply that to Brienne instead of Sandor?

Oh, you mean the confirmed descendant of Duncan the Tall? That Brienne?

Yeah, that would make a lot more sense, wouldn't it?

But you know, we can't let reality get in the way.

Post: Every single event in The Hedge Knight should be tied back to Sansa, actually.
