OAK AND IRON, GUARD ME WELL

10 years ago, on this day, Jon Snow and Sansa Stark reunited on Game of Thrones. 💕

[Show: Game of Thrones

Episode: Season 6 Episode 4 'Book of the Stranger'

Oh man, Sansa and Good Queen Alysanne parallels are my FAVORITE.  I’ve written about it here and there on twitter, but it’s right there.  

Well loved, beautiful, tall and elegant with high cheekbones and blue eyes.  She forced the Starks to give the Night’s Watch the New Gift (which, Sansa and her eldest surviving ‘brother’ Jon will more than likely be in the position to do what Ned had planned to do, which is resettle it. And who better than those seeking refuge from the Others?).

Sansa’s want of being a good queen is more than just a nod - there are few good queens in history.  Sure, there are Targaryen Warrior Princesses, and a scattered amount of women that put up with a male Targ’s shit for a while, but there aren’t many loving, pure, champion of the small folk queens out there.  Queens just… exist in ASOIAF.  Alysanne sticks out for a reason.
