Nothing fucks with my baby Arya

Jinx isn't actually irreversibly Jinx. and also Jinx isn't just a part of her identity that's basically a neurodivergent person's self-hatred (and therefore part of the commentary). Jinx was a phase and she gets over that phase and so that part of her life can simply be left behind. just like that. If a joker can just take a break and chillax to the point of not even identifying as a joker anymore then whatever was going on was a them issue and not a systemic issue. and ofc it was not that serious if it could be easily undone. no need to have to explore Piltover's oppression of Zaun anymore.

I write this in reference to my previous post in defense of the insults that the character of Sansa receives, and I am sorry that a part of what I wrote has been misunderstood by some people so I want to clarify this topic!

I'm not belittling Arya! In fact, she's one of my favorite characters in all of ASOIAF and I love the relationship she and Sansa have. What I said is simply my opinion (which I decided to write because it is one of the most discussed topics in the fandom).

That being said, I truly believe that Arya would not have survived what Sansa went through just as Sansa would not have survived what Arya went through.

Clearly I wasn't trying to defend Sansa by saying this as I think she would have died right away if she had found herself in her sister's situation. Sansa, as intelligent as she is, does not have the skills and personality of Arya and that would have killed her.

Same thing for Arya, as much as her character has grown and become strong, this in my opinion would not have happened in King's Landing because she wouldn't have received the same training, therefore she too would have died immediately. Arya, as sly as she is, is not as smart as her sister sansa.

I love how different they are, and as much as I hate what happened to both of them, these are the right experiences for them because they contributed to the growth of their characters and what they have become.

I seriously get the feeling you have not read one Arya chapter after AGoT.

Arya is a hundred times smarter than Sansa. She saw right through Joffrey immediately while it took Ned losing his head at the end of the book for Sansa to realize the cartoon villainy of both Joffrey and Cersei.

Sansa survived in KL because she was Ned Stark's daughter and a valuable political hostage. That's it. No other reason. She didn't survive based on her intelligence or wits. The adults didn't kill her because they were arranging marriages for her with Joffrey, Tyrion and Willas and she was useful to them that way.

The same way they would not have killed Arya because they would be busy arranging marriages for her to secure the North and Winterfell. Fortunately for Arya, she was smart and could see through the Lannister guards in disguise that Cersei set near the ship to capture her and made her escape.

It was harder for Arya to survive the Riverlands and Harrenhal because she was just one of many peasants being slaughtered by opposing armies. And Arya did it by observing, planning and using the lessons learned from her teachers like Syrio and Ned.

Arya had no one looking out for her - and she's two years younger than Sansa! She planned and executed her own escape from Harrenhal and was the leader of her little pack.

I'm tired of seeing constant insults in reference to this character and the most hilarious part is that the only reason they give you to hate her is "oh my god she's so annoying"...like stfu (an eleven year old girl btw).

you sansa haters clearly DID NOT understand her character, you have zero and I mean ZERO empathy for a little girl who had to survive both physical and mental abuse, followed by torture and brainwahing by the ones she thought she could trust.

and most important thing, she lost everyone in her family even being laughed at from all King's Landing.

and no, Arya WOULDN'T have survived that shit, just like Sansa wouldn't have survived what Arya had gone trought.
