Sansa Stark deserves better
I’m gonna get shot for this but...
I’ve noticed how some people view jonsa or Aegon (The real Aegon, Elia’s Martell’s son!Aegon) x Sansa as the next Rhaegar x Lyanna with Sansa Stark being betrothed to Harrold Hardyng and then any of these two would steal her away just like Rhaegar did to Lyanna. People make it seem like Rhaegar and Lyanna had the best “selfless” love story to emulate but here’s the thing, THEY DIDN’T. They were the worst two characters who were the catalyst of starting a war that almost broke the realm apart just because of their selfishness.

For all Sansa Stark’s character development and growing out of her ‘knights and song’ phases, I think she would have more honor and sense of duty than to run away without thinking of other people or her family. I am disappointed that you would think so lowly of her after what she had endured.
Also, please don’t make it seem like the Targaryens were owed Stark brides. Because news flash, THEY ARE NOT.
Jon should find better “role models” to emulate and Aegon (The real Aegon) would be unlikely to repeat the same mistake his father did that resulted in his mother’s and sister’s deaths which also ruined his life.
If it isn’t bad enough that you use Harrold Hardyng’s character as a prop in fanfics to make your ships look better, you continue to paint him as a worse version of Robert Baratheon or the bookverse version of Ramsay Snow. Yes, he offended Sansa but for fuck’s sake, he didn’t rape her.
He apologized to her for his insult and HE EVEN SEES HER FOR HER WITS. We just saw a glimpse of that guy and y’all are judging him already.
Also, how do you think it would affect Westeros if another Targaryen steals away another bride from who could possibly be another Lord Paramount?
