Eleanor Roosevelt and Lyudmila Pavlichenko. Lyudmila Pavlichenko was a Soviet sniper credited with 309 kills, she is regarded as the most successful female sniper in history. She visited with President Franklin Roosevelt, becoming the first Soviet citizen to be welcomed at the White House.

Your abuser’s trauma does not justifiy them abusing you. Your abuser’s disability does not justify them abusing you. Your abuser’s gender does not justify them abusing you. Your abuser’s illness does not justify them abusing you.

For everyone that needs to hear this: there is nothing you could ever do that’s punishable by abuse, and there is NOTHING anyone could ever say to justify the abuse you experience(d).

Omg yes for clothes not being reckognized as important in fandom! Bookwise when Arya ruins Sansa’s dress that was a present for her betrothal: Sansa isn’t just being petty to be angry about it. A dress is an incredibly valuable item, even for someone in her station. And being from the queen it was probably in the expensive end even for that. Arya’s offer to make her a new one WAS unrealistic. It’s like the equivalent of your sibling ruining idk what... your bike that you saved for for months

that dress was probably the most expensive item sansa owned and it might have been a sign of the queen liking sansa (after causing the death of sansa’s pet) again. also the dress reminded sansa of lady. sansa blamed arya, joffrey and the queen for lady’s death but slowly sansa convinced herself that joffrey and the queen weren’t bad because she was scared of them and she has to live with them for the rest of her life. arya became an easier target because arya didn’t want to hurt sansa like cersei and joffrey did. they would fight but when ned bothered to act like a father, sansa was friendly with her sister.

dress wasn’t just a present, it reminded sansa of lady whose death traumatised sansa and made her feel like she had died. so arya throwing fruit at sansa caused her first emotional outburst. then ned said he was breaking sansa’s betrothal but allowing arya to have her dancer which caused the second outburst. in many ways he recreated lady’s death. since leaving king’s landing, sansa has been losing things important to her and she only had septa mordane and jeyne poole to lean on. meanwhile ned’s favouritism of arya kicked into high gear, she does whatever she wants with ned’s approval, something that sansa resented since before the incident at the trident. sansa needed to behave while arya, in sansa’s eyes, can get away with anything including hurting sansa.

sansa spent the books repressing herself because ladies are not expected to be emotional (see her reaction to watching a man die right in front of her), she rationalised people’s behaviour and she acted out in some ways due to trauma so when arya destroyed the dress, sansa couldn’t take it anymore and exploded with anger.

Whenever I read shit like that I always question if those people know anything about Textile work/sewing. Because I do, I’ve made highly complicated dresses like the ones Sansa would wear. Even tough I made them by machine it still took months because of the amount of fabric and the detail. Doing it by hand would take at least 4 times as long. (They are also insanely expensive if you want high quality materials)

Noble woman would wear dresses that would take months to make, especially royalty, like Sansa would be in not too long. They would also be extremely expensive because of the amount of time, fabric and the quality of the fabric.

Arya ruined something that is almost not compareble to something a child in this day and age would own.

That dress is something that blood, sweat and tears went into. If someone destroyed one of my quilts, or embroiderd tapestries they would be met with physical violence.

In the show Arya throws food on a dress Sansa made herself. I can relate even better to that, but in the books Sansas reaction is absolutely justified too, because presents like that are once in a lifetime things.

My mom once made me a quilt that she put in over 400 hours of work. It took her almost a year to make. If my sister spelled ink on it or anything like that I would ruin her life.

@sayruq so sorry for going off on your post like that, but this topic angers me soo much. As an Textile artist I relate to it so much and the dismissal of most of the fandom (even some Sansa fans) angers me to no end because it also invaluates my work and the work of other artists like me. And genreally related back to woman art being seen as of less worth.

#this is a really good point#historically fabrics and textile production was not only hugely valuable but also a clear indicator of social status and favour#certain fabrics designs and colours were reserved for the royal family OR to those who had earned their patronage/favour#while I’m not necessarily condemning Arya or anything (while an awful thing to do she is still a child as is Sansa)#a lot of people do tend to gloss over Sansa’s (rightful) anger as ‘bullying’#forgetting that this dress likely cost more than would be needed to sustain Winterfell for a good few months AT LEAST#and was not only a beautiful dress but also a symbol throughout the realm of Sansa’s royal favour and new status#damn right she’s upset#sansa stark#got/asoiaf#history ( @3-and-a-half-penguins )

Ladies and Gentlemen, remember this advice, for it will be the most important information to know and remember: Punch a nazi, you won’t regret it cuz you’re punching a fascist scumbag

brunhiddensmusings

the only reason people say ‘we should be nice to the nazis and listen to them politely’ is because thats how nazis win- they get others to cede the floor to their voice and then they never give the floor back
