the sansan princess/knight trend i promised! (show version)
The Alayne Stone situation is five concentric circles of petyr baelish being psychologically broken:
Named after his mother. insane opener. this alone shouldâve gotten him escorted out of the narrative. GRRM did not do this by accident. Names matter to Petyr, and tying Sansa to his mother is the first red flag of how deep the rot goes.
Daughter of the woman he wanted (Catelyn) so sheâs already a living reminder of the rejection that defined his entire personality. Catelyn is the wound. Sansa is the scar that walks and talks.
His imaginary daughter with Catelyn this is where it crosses into Freudian horror. Petyr gets to roleplay the life he thinks he was denied: Cat + him + child. Except the child is also the girl heâs grooming. Cool cool cool.
A girl he desires now and this is where all plausible deniability dies. He is actively sexualizing her while insisting on paternal authority. That contradiction is not accidental itâs the point.
A replacement for Catelyn herself. Sansa isnât just âlikeâ Catelyn. Petyr is trying to overwrite Cat with a version that will finally choose him. Younger, more malleable, socially isolated, dependent. Thatâs not romance, thatâs revisionism.
What makes it worse is that Sansa clocks this. She doesnât fully have the language for it yet, but she feels the wrongness. Alayne Stone is her survival strategy, but itâs also her cage.
And the real kicker? Petyr thinks heâs in control, but this dynamic is already unstable. The more he projects onto Sansa, the less she resembles the fantasy. He wants Cat, but Cat wouldnât play along. Sansa will until she doesnât. This isnât meant to be sexy, tragic, or misunderstood. itâs meant to be deeply unsettling. Petyr is not a âmorally grey mastermind.â Heâs a man who turned rejection into ideology and entitlement into strategy.
So yeah. not âkill this manâ in a literal sense. but end him narratively, strip him of power, expose him, and let the illusion collapse? absolutely. the story is already sharpening the knife.
Commission for @/superdanganisle on Twitter:3
Do you think âshe will be singing to the Stranger, begging for his kissâ can be considered Sansan foreshadowing?
in a sense, it has already happened. she has sang to the stranger (sandor in the bobw) and she has begged for his kiss (the unkiss). but yeah, it could be foreshadow for something deeper.

I have no hate in my heart when i say this but it bothers me so much when the idea of Arya and Daenerys and Brienne being happily in love find so many critics..from their - so called - fans on tiktok.
"Daenerys doesnt need a man to be the greatest" nor Aragorn son of Arathorn needed Arwen to make his character complete and compaling enough to become one of the greatest fantasy heros of all times..yet he has her on his side, sharing with her a love so deep and pure that she refuse to be immortal for him. Why Daenerys cant have someone that loves her this much and still be cool?
"Arya reject gender roles and thinks women are important too and she is wild and fierce, and she chose her destiny for herself and has no need of a man" and so does Ăowyn the shieldmaiden of Rohan that killed the most ferocious, insidious and cruel creature her world has ever seen..yet she is not less cool just because she felt in love with Faramir of Gondor and lived happily with him.
"Brienne doesn't need a man because she's managed to get a place in society that is usually only for men, she's not a useless damsel in distress" first of all, Brienne would immediantly dislike you for think that the maids in her so loved songs are useless..secondly Galadriel "the mightiest and fairest of all the Elves that remained in Middle-Earth" too attains absolute power, far greater than Brienne's, and I say this as Brienne's lover, so much so that if she would touch the ring they wouldn't be able to stop her ever..yet she is happily married with Celeborn. Is she less cool? I do NOT think so.
The idea that a female character, to be cool, NEED to be as much detached from anything it was once perceived as typical feminine as possible is already so disgusting that i feel like i am talking with alt right pro Russia father - that also pretend to be a feminist when spent the whole time at the family christmas gathering decomposing the chemical of my brain while talking about how much women need men - but to think that a woman cant be a cool badass heroine and still find love is beyond me. Who said that? Why men can have both but women dont?
- please Lord of the Rings fan do not come for my neck, i only watched the movies and a long time ago..i promise that i will read the books.
all i'm SAYIN is that sandor and sansa have a CONNECTION and he's a WEEKS RIDE AWAY and sansa predicted he'd win the tourney of the hand and LITTLEFINGER NEVER COUNTED ON HIM OR CONSIDERED HIM he's the SMOKING GUN he was IN THE ROOM WHEN LF HELD A KNIFE TO NEDS THROAT, he's going to haul his ass UP the high road and put a stop to the suitor bullshit at the tourney JUST LIKE DUNK DID AT THE ASHFORD TOURNEY and then he's gonna be her SWORN SHIELD and everything will have come FULL CIRCLE from joffreys bodyguard to SANSAS TRUE KNIGHT and rekindling his faith in both HIMSELF and THE IDEALS he abandoned as a child!

People criticizing Nosferatu for 'romanticizing abuse' donât seem to understand the essence of Gothic romance and literature. These stories aren't meant to make you feel comfortable or align with conventional morality. Gothic romance thrives in the tension between beauty and horror, weaving together the sublime and the grotesque to evoke emotions that are complex, raw, and hauntingly human. Itâs not about endorsing behaviorâitâs about exploring the darker corners of desire, fear, and the human condition. đ¤đđŞť
Seeing the reactions to the Orlok & Ellen relationship is when I realized that gothic romance is really being disowned these days to simply portray it as the worst forms of abuse. Seeing people often say that Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre aren't romances was already a big clue, but seeing firsthand how people must receive gothic romance with the recent release of Nosferatu hits me even harder. Not only is media literacy dying, but a genre of literature and romance seems to be dying as well.

an appetite, nothing more.
I cannot take any anti SanSan seriously when someone says they prefer TV!Sandor over Book!Sandor
âBefore she could summon the servants, however, Sweetrobin threw his skinny arms around her and kissed her. It was a little boyâs kiss, and clumsy. Everything Robert Arryn did was clumsy.Â
If I close my eyes I can pretend he is the Knight of Flowers. Ser Loras had given Sansa Stark a red rose once, but he had never kissed her ⌠and no Tyrell would ever kiss Alayne Stone. Pretty as she was, she had been born on the wrong side of the blanket.
As the boyâs lips touched her own she found herself thinking of another kiss. She could still remember how it felt, when his cruel mouth pressed down on her own. He had come to Sansa in the darkness as green fire filled the sky. He took a song and a kiss, and left me nothing but a bloody cloak.It made no matter. That day was done, and so was Sansa. â
Unfinished unkiss piece I decided to merge with a quick sketch of Alayne and Sweetrobin to somehow depict the passage I posted .Â
I know many SanSan fans think Sandor says "I should have fucked her bloody" just to goad Arya into killing him, but I don't think that's all. Sure, he blames himself for not being able to save Sansa, but he *thought* about raping her and I think he's confessing to that.
yeah, possibly. but I personally don't tend to take sandor's behavior during the blackwater battle as speaking of his true character because in that moment he was not really himself. he had an episode during the battle, which on its own is already enough to mess up one's train of thoughts. and then to make matters worse he goes and gets black-out drunk. but of course things are so bad that not even excessive alcohol is enough to numb his mind anymore. so on instinct, he goes to sansa's place, because despite himself he has learned to view her as a safe space.
so when he finally meets her in her chambers he doesn't really know what to do. a myriad of thoughts go through his mind at once. and because he is not a good man, thoughts of violence obviously also go through his mind. this paragraph is very emblematic of the point I'm trying to mke:
"I could keep you safe," he rasped. "They're all afraid of me. No one would hurt you again, or I'd kill them." He yanked her closer, and for a moment she thought he meant to kiss her. He was too strong to fight. She closed her eyes, wanting it to be over, but nothing happened. "Still can't bear to look, can you?" she heard him say. He gave her arm a hard wrench, pulling her around and shoving her down onto the bed. "I'll have that song. Florian and Jonquil, you said." His dagger was out, poised at her throat. "Sing, little bird. Sing for your little life."
he begins by offering her protection against anyone who might wanna harm her, and then he finishes it by threatening to kill her himself. see what I mean by confusion? this man was Not Well in the head. this little excerpt is enough to make us understand why sansa didn't escape king's landing with him, it was because at this moment he was completely unreliable. so yes. he probably thought about assaulting her, he thought about killing her, he thought about saving her, he thought a million things at the same time. good thing he had some sense to understood that he crossed the line and left her alone. even if the guilt of what he let her go through in KL and what he made her go through in this moment will eat him away forever.
Just adding here that anon left out, what I believe is, a crucial part of the text (that is regularly overlooked) if weâre going to double-click into and analyze this scene.
âI meant to take her too. I should have. I should have fucked her bloody and ripped her heart out before leaving her for that dwarf."
Iâm not here to say that Sandor did or did not want to rape her (though I genuinely donât think he did), or want to have sex or take some form of intimacy from her. But what the text is saying here isnât an admission of truth, itâs a comparative statement.
Sandor fucking hates Tyrion. Heâs probably the person Sandor hates most after Gregor. Going into why would require a whole other meta, but letâs remember that this man basically drank himself into his grave after finding out that he and Sansa married. There are some interesting metas out there that outline how Sandor believes that death is WAY better than suffering, and I think what transpired in this Arya chapter is a perfect illustration of that belief.
What the text is saying above is clear: Sandor believes that being with Tyrion is a fate worse than death. And him â an ugly, brutal, disgusting Hound â fucking and killing Sansa would have been better than him (unknowingly) leaving her in Kingâs Landing after the Blackwater, and right into the hands of Tyrion. THATâS how much Sandor hated Tyrion, how much heâs convinced that Tyrion is the worst person Sansa could have ever been bound to.
Why? I think thereâs a lot to go into regarding Sandorâs loathing of Tyrion, but Iâm sure one element, at the very minimum, is likely Tysha and how everything with Tyrionâs first wife transpired. As readers, we know how it truly played out and Tyrionâs own feelings of guilt and sadness regarding it, but on the surface, from a one-sided vantage point that surely made its way through the halls of Kingâs Landing, Tyrion and the Lannisters brutalized this poor woman. And Iâm sure thatâs only one reason Sandor is so convinced that Tyrion is a terrible fate to Sansa (like I said I think this could be a whole other meta!)
So Sandorâs statement here is kind of like saying âI would rather eat glass than take that examâ or âIâd kill myself before ever going out on another date with that personâ â extreme examples but you get the picture! That being said, two things can be true at once and Sandor could have still had those desires when he was with her, because, you know, he was in the midst of some PTSD-ridden menty b, but I really wish that this scene wasnât taken at face value.

One of the things I find so deliciously intriguing to consider about a future Sansan is thinking about the inevitable reveal of their relationship and how their close circle will interact.
Like, can you imagine Aryaâs astonishment? Her prim and proper, uppity lady of a sister is canoodling with the Hound? A Lannister lackey? A man who lugged her around half of Westeros for ransom, who used to be on her list for killing her friend? Whoâs ugly AF and whose birth is barely above that of smallfolk? Or Tyrion, realizing that his wife who could barely look at him, who wore her courtesies like a lead shield he could not penetrate even when they were alone⌠fell for Joffâs bodyguard? His mean dog? A man so fearsome and brutal and ugly most could not bear to look at him or face him in melee?
Tell me the look on Littlefingerâs face wouldnât be absolutely scrumptious as his entire plan to use Sansa and make her his freaky little wife/daughter figure completely unravels because, despite his insistence on expecting the unexpected, he really could not predict in a million years that Sandor Clegane would commit to anything or anyone outside of his unwavering hatred for his brother, and that Sansa, his little sweet and proper Catelyn 2.0, would take a step outside her known world to reciprocate his affection.
From their perspectives⌠in what world would either of these unlikely individuals come together at all? Let alone come together as two kindred spirits completely and wholly devoted to each other. But us readers⌠oh, WE KNOW.
youre so right
whatever romantic or platonic Jon and Arya ARE soulmates and they will always choose each other before anyone else
Yes!! There truly is no other bond quite like theirs in all the books. I don't often talk about Jon and Arya because, well, lol lmao (if the person who keeps commenting on my ao3 is reading this, kindly leap, as Victarion would say). But really those two just bring me so much joy.
Do I think romantic Jonrya will happen? No. Or, not exactly. I really doubt it will ever be anything explicit; if GRRM does explore that thread, I think it will exist in the liminalâin glances, in quiet (tormented?) longing, in the unsaid. (And isn't that sweeter?)
So let us discuss in ambiguities.
I ended the other ask with: âDuty this, desire thatâthey always, always choose each other.â To elaborate: they are the reason the other endures, the reason the other isânot as duty demands, but as truth allows. They draw the other back from that inexorable death of self.
When Arya (as far as he knows) hangs in the balance and Jon is meant to be Lord Commander of the Nightâs Watch, he breaks and chooses Aryaâand thus, Jon Snow. When Jon (Needle) is on the line and Arya is meant to be No One, she breaks and chooses Jonâand thus, Arya Stark. They are mirrors and anchors. They are each otherâs soul, salvation, heart (âWhat do you know of my heart, priestess?â), and smile (âNeedle was Jon Snow's smileâ).
And yet... they have changed. Jon is no longer the boy of Arya's childhood (âKill the boyâ), and Arya is no longer the little girl of Jonâs (âShe could feel the hole inside her where her heart had beenâ). Still, they imagine the other as untouched, as preserved in the amber of those sweet moments. These thoughts keep alive the core self, but the self has grown a shade darker. A shade colder.
To borrow from Dick Diver in Tender is the Night, âI'm not much like myself anymore.â
How do you come back to someone after so long? After horror, after blood, after choices you never thought you'd have to make have torn you apart and stitched you into something else? After your world has turned inside out and upside down and shaken you until your teeth ache and your head spins and you know you are just not right anymoreâall while you were alone? All while the other was not there to bear witness? What can you possibly say to them?
Will they still know you? Will they still love you?
I think, against all reason, the answer is undoubtedly yes.
Which leads to how Jon and Arya stand as foils to Jaime and Cersei. Both pairs share physical features and deep childhood companionship, yet where the latter was wont to withhold truth (âWhen Jaime had discovered [the picture of her and Rhaegar] she told him it was Queen Alysanne and King Jaehaerysâ), the former shared it freely (ââŚdonât⌠tell⌠Sansa!â).
There is something unconditional in Jon and Arya that the Lannister twins never knew. Time and distance made them only closer, only fonder, while those same forces fractured Jaime and Cersei to the point where he burns her letter and walks away. Of course this finds its echo in Jon receiving the Pink Letter; the moment where, as mentioned earlier, he breaks his vows for âAryaâ and ultimately dies for her.Â
The parallel letters expose love under trial. One is consumed, the other endures.
And this isnât even to touch on how Jon will be altered post-resurrection. Any theoretical/logistical speculation is way above my pay grade of basic character analysis, so I wonât attempt it. But we do know this: resurrection fixates the subject on their dying purpose, their âunfinished business,â if you will. Jonâs mission up until the mutiny was to save Arya (âI think we had best change the planâ). His last thoughts were of Arya (âStick them with the pointy endâ).Â
Iâll end it here:
Consider not how these darker, colder versions of Jon and Arya (anchored by each other but changed nonetheless) will connect with each other. Consider instead (!) how they will connect with anyone who isnât them.
If you have been successfully Jonrya-pilled and are interested in how this plays out in a timeskip AU, I am attempting it here :)
