heir to winterfell is foreshadowed to be sansa, creating the same stark/targaryen marriage dynamic foreshadowed by the pact, only gender swapped. 3/3

the fact that mushroom claims jacaerys’s dragon left a clutch of eggs at winterfell is interesting because it reads less like figment of mushroom’s imagination that is meant to be laughed off and more like fertility symbolism. the eggs represent the child jace and sara snow 1/3

would have had together and, through her, the future fulfillment of the pact of ice and fire. and what’s even more interesting is that around 150 years later, rhaegar and lyanna (whose story echoes jace and sara’s) seem to realise that symbolism. they have a son, while the 2/3

[he thought] of sansa, brushing out lady’s coat and singing to herself. you know nothing, jon snow.

@ladyofwinterr yeah, and the material is him almost committing sexual assault on the day she got her first period, and he only stops himself because sansa sings a song about protecting women and children. not really romantic, is it?

[❀ @dancewithmeanon]

they’ll be all about these technicalities once jon’s parentage is revealed

“you shouldn’t kiss me. i might have been your own daughter…”
“might have been,” he admitted, with a rueful smile. “but you’re not, are you? you are eddard stark’s daughter, and cat’s. but i think you might be even more beautiful than your mother was, when she was your age.”

[❀ @dancewithmeanon]

@baelishbones and the way it correlates to his desire to actually break into sansa’s castle, (that is, to steal winterfell away from her) is a recurring theme for a lot of her “love interests” (contrasted w jon’s “winterfell belongs to my sister sansa”) 😝

i’m glad they understand who winterfell belongs to

a storm of swords, jon iii + a storm of swords, sansa iii / no choice but to sleep with the enemy

It is incredibly horrific to have to actually make this thread, but recently maranwood/Weirwoodwed who is very active in asoiaf circles on twitter, tumblr, tiktok, and instagram has been discovered to be Israeli…she has truly broken my heart and hurt me deeply…

experience in king’s landing, which is supposed to mold her into the ideal noble lady. her journey is all about reclaiming her agency and lady’s death marks the beginning of her losing it. 2/2

[❀ @dancewithmeanon]

it always seemed fairly obvious to me that lady’s death was meant to foreshadow ned’s eventual execution. but beyond that, it’s also meant to symbolise the “declawing” of sansa herself, as in the stripping away of her instincts, agency and identity that she is bound to 1/2

with the actual text. 2/2

[❀ @dancewithmeanon]

sansa doesn’t really fit the “tradwife” label when you remember she’s been terrified of marriage ever since she was forced to wed an older man whose family murdered hers, and that she only agrees to remarry in order to go home. but ig stan wars can be more fun than engaging 1/2

@ItsAMeDaario a winter rose turns black and dies as jon is born and his life is spared, just as the winter rose placed on the bed of the stark maiden is replaced by her bastard son once he is born. exactly.

[❀ @dancewithmeanon]

no stag can find sansa, but a dragon might. i wonder what this might mean for a girl whose betrothed is called ‘the dragon’s heir’…

@weirwoodwed surprisingly they’re not the most annoying people in these replies
