This is my Ao3 page for anyone interested in my writing. It’s mainly Sansa Stark centric stories. Unless stated otherwise, all incomplete fics are NOT abandoned. Sometimes I burn out from the story and need time away, which can be months. But I do plan to finish them.
Also, my works tag on here is: my writing
I do take prompts depending on the topic and my mood. So hit me up with any ideas you may have!
phm is decently popular in japan and i mostly see this when i check twitter and see accounts posting pictures of handmade rocky plushies that are so fucking round looking it brings a tear to my eye
he keeps me sane
dany fans when you say that irreconcilable political interests is a valid reason for sansa to not wanna kiss her ass
Trying out new brushes plus my girl Sansa
if anyone needs me i’ll be alone in my tower
sansa’s hairnet being used to poison joffrey without her knowledge is so horribly poetic because it perfectly embodies her role as a political pawn. by attaching the poison to her hairnet, sansa’s physical body is quite literally being used as a political tool by littlefinger and the tyrells without her consent, which they get away with by pretending to care about her in a very surface level way (olenna fussing with sansa’s hair like a mother would so that she can secretly take the amethyst from her hairnet). and if something goes wrong, the hairnet/poison is physically on sansa’s body, so the blame will be pinned on her.
basically it’s just literalizing the way that the bodies of highborn women and girls are regularly traded/sold for political gain through marriage pacts and alliances as an inherent part of how the ruling class functions (sansa and tyrion, dany and drogo, “arya”/jeyne and ramsay, lysa and jon arryn, cat and ned, alys and sigorn, edmure and roslin, arya and elmar, etc.). unless of course those women intentionally or unintentionally transgress those social boundaries in any way, in which case they’re quickly discarded and treated as objects of blame and disgust (losing their perceived honor/virtue/purity if they have sex or children outside of marriage) because women and girls are reduced to their physical bodies and the reproductive labor that is expected of them, so the blame for sex beyond the confines of marriage is placed entirely on them. and now sansa’s own body is being used as a weapon against her in the most literal way possible. lucky girl.
one part of the trident scene that I find so compelling is sansa’s reaction to joffrey holding a sword to arya vs arya holding a sword to joffrey. obviously I love sansa so this is not to disparage her as a heartless sister or anything like that (not that she’s a good sister to arya but that’s a pretty reductive way of understanding sansa’s psychology in this scene), but more that it’s such a great way of introducing sansa’s tendency to repress or rewrite memories in order to make trauma easier to cope with.
to start with, here is her reaction when joffrey holds a sword to arya:
Sansa was shrieking, "No, no, stop it, stop it, both of you, you're spoiling it," but no one was listening. Arya scooped up a rock and hurled it at Joffrey's head. She hit his horse instead, and the blood bay reared and went galloping off after Mycah. "Stop it, don't, stop it!" Sansa screamed. Joffrey slashed at Arya with his sword, screaming obscenities, terrible words, filthy words. Arya darted back, frightened now, but Joffrey followed, hounding her toward the woods, backing her up against a tree. Sansa didn't know what to do. She watched helplessly, almost blind from her tears.
(AGOT, Sansa I)
here sansa is specifically described as being BLIND from her tears. she cannot make sense of joffrey’s behavior because it doesn’t fit into any narrative that she’s ever been taught about princes, knights, people in power who are supposed to defend the innocent. she initially screams at both of them to stop, but when joffrey gains the upper hand, sansa freezes and is so overwhelmed by confusion/shock that she becomes “blind” with emotion. she doesn’t (or doesn’t want to) fully see what’s right in front of her, which paralyzes her into inaction while her little sister is being threatened (think of her coping mechanism when joffrey forces her to stare at ned’s head, “He can make me look at the heads, she told herself, but he can't make me see them”).
compare this to when arya holds the sword to joffrey:
The direwolf let go of Joffrey and moved to Arya's side. The prince lay in the grass, whimpering, cradling his mangled arm. His shirt was soaked in blood. Arya said, "She didn't hurt you . . . much." She picked up Lion's Tooth where it had fallen, and stood over him, holding the sword with both hands.
Joffrey made a scared whimpery sound as he looked up at her. "No," he said, "don't hurt me. I'll tell my mother."
"You leave him alone!" Sansa screamed at her sister.
now she’s screaming at arya for doing the same thing back to joffrey, not because she hates her sister or doesn’t care if she’s hurt, but because arya acting out makes sense to her. it’s been drilled into her for her entire life that arya is the “bad” sister because she refuses to conform to highborn womanhood, she mingles with common born people, she doesn’t have respect for authority, etc. and now sansa is literally watching arya use a sword against the crown prince, all of which fits the narrative that she’s been fed by the adults around her. she finally finds her voice and screams at arya because she can, it’s something that she feels is within her power/understanding to do something about (also because it’s easier for her to stand up to her little sister than it is to stand up to a prince).
and ofc sansa latches onto this image (arya holding a sword to joffrey) to later rewrite the entire memory in her head until she fully remembers a different version of events and doesn’t understand why arya is accusing her of lying. in fact she already starts doing this right after arya and nymeria run off (although not completely since she goes back and tells ned the truth of what happened, and only fully rewrites this memory when she’s unwilling to blame joffrey for lady’s death):
After they had gone, Sansa went to Prince Joffrey. His eyes were closed in pain, his breath ragged. Sansa knelt beside him. "Joffrey," she sobbed. "Oh, look what they did, look what they did. My poor prince. Don't be afraid. I'll ride to the holdfast and bring help for you." Tenderly she reached out and brushed back his soft blond hair.
none of this is to say that sansa dealt with this event in a healthy or commendable way, but I do think that it gives us a really interesting look into how this sheltered and terrified 11 year old makes sense of an incredibly traumatizing event, especially when she’s inclined to cling onto the familiar/comfortable already. super fascinating!
My fave vale gals (mya, myranda, sansa)
cersei forcing sansa to prove her loyalty to the lannisters by writing a letter that incriminates her (innocent) father vs ormund forcing daeron to prove his loyalty to the hightowers by executing an innocent man. manipulating them into obeying by accusing sansa of having the “traitor’s blood” vs daeron of having a “taint” in his blood that can only be cured by doing as they’re told. sansa insisting that she’s “good” vs ormund assuring daeron that he’s a “good boy” (so long as he obeys). cersei having lady killed vs ormund chaining up tessarion because they view them as dangerous beasts who also keep sansa and daeron connected to the rest of their family. isolating them from their loved ones to make them easier to control while pretending to play a parental role. SICK!
I ship them now🤣
re: failed king's landing escape, everyone sees sansa as this big bad 11 year old who betrayed her father but all I see is ned desperately trying to save his daughters and failing and then sansa desperately trying save her father and failing
When you see a Prep in hottopic
“This Prep is ready for war bring it you emo fuck”

queer people who have done zero self reflection when they see someone who doesn't look fem in their space
ACTUALLY FUCKING THO
#the bioessentialism is gross and inescapable#‘oh i’m just not comfortable around this person bc i don’t know them!’#is that it? or is it that they’re masculine presenting and you only think of non-binary people as girl lite
saw someone say that they don't read fics under 10k and had to laugh because more fool you, that is where all the bangers are. obviously I'm biased but truly nothing hits like a 1.5k fic with a lowercase title from some obscure poet where nothing actually happens and yet you emerge blinking with a completely new outlook on the character. infinitely rereadable. like a perfectly crafted pastry. I'm gobbling them up!
Someone linked me this beautiful poster, and I'm just really impressed.
My contribution:
The three types of kink are
* you have power
* you're safe
* feet
this is a shitpost but I think it's not THAT wrong. Most kink is either one of (or a combination of):
You get to play at having power over someone else. This is your dominance sorts of things, your sadisms, etc.
You get to play safely. You can play with scary things while knowing there's safewords and a dom/top who loves you.
Feet. By which I mean, there's some normal part of the human experience that your brain has for some reason fixated on. Maybe you're into red hair, or glasses, or fluffy tails.
"safety" can also present as "useful". You have some intrinsic value that cannot be taken from you (because of some sex/kink thing). The safety is from abandonment, because you're useful, despite everything. And "useful" is a bunch of kinks (none of which I'm comfortable mentioning here).
oh no, animal ears are feet
yeah. cat ears are feet!
can someone turn this into the calvin's dad dialogue
oh god, this is so obviously calvin's dad dialogue that now I'm worried that I plagiarized it without realizing it
the two types of tumblr post are calvin's dad and rule 34. all posts fall into one of these two categories. despite being kink-related, this post is actually calvin's dad.
