She's finally finished!!! QITN Sansa Stark from my fic 'Winter's Child'. PLEASE full view- there are so many details on this thing. I drew all the patterns by hand, drew SO much ice, and spent like, three whole days designing the throne.
Is she too detailed? Probably. But I was having fun drawing 8 million different kinds of ice/frost and learning how to use procreate. Whether Sansa painstakingly embroiders ice motifs on her clothing or just magics up frost to decorate her sleeves in painstaking detail is up to interpretation. She's SUPER ice queen here to show the northern lords and any pesky invaders that she's every inch a Stark and that she Means Business.
Bonus: Throne Details! They get kind of covered up by the frost and her robes, but I spent so much time designing her throne and I'm wildly happy with how it came out, so have some close-ups!
The top part I wanted to have the wolves on either side fading into weirwood leaves and vines (which was harder than it sounds), and her armrests have a stylized weirwood tree carved into them. There was going to be a tiny raven sitting on the tree in that space between branches, but I've gotta sleep at some point, tbh. Took forever, but was totally worth it- I love how both designs came out, and I think her throne is my favorite thing about the entire drawing.
Just saw GRRM's old drafts for AFFC and Sansa's arc in the book before some of her chapters were pushed to TWOW was supposed to be about her "resolve to be Sansa Stark (after her stint as Alayne in the Vale and after receiving some news from White Harbour) and take the North"
"Sansa was a lady at three, always courteous and eager to please. She loved nothing so we'll as tales of knightly valor. Men would say she had my look but she will grow into a woman far more beautiful than I ever was, you can see that." - Caitlyn Stark
who would you have preferred Brienne to be with? ALSO I AM A 100% JAMIE HATER FUCK JAMIE
ummmm honestly idk. there’s some potential with her and sansa (the whole true knight thing the both of them have going) but other than that i don’t really see romance as a part of brienne’s story.
devotion? love? absolutely. i just don’t think romance is the way “brienne the beauty” is going to be subverted. i think it would be lovely if brienne was like the commander of sansa’s queensguard and that mirroring her position with renly. i think that would be a sufficient ending for that whole storyline of hers.
All this talk of kings and queens these days has me thinking...
As much as I love Jonsa (I will go DOWN with this ship!), I’m so, so glad we got to see Sansa as the Queen in the North. If this is where we’re at when the books end, with or without Jon at her side, I will be a happy woman.
It goes without saying that a Jonsa ending would put me over the moon.
