You just gotta remind yourself that just like this deer, you are in the situation (social) where everyone is expecting this situation to occur (social situationing), and many other people may even be expressly looking forward to it (seeing you/the deer). Seeing the deer (you) may be the best part of the situation for them.

Exactly!!!!

and even if it wasn't the sole or only reason they are there, they came KNOWING there are 1,300-1,400 deer (you) free roaming in Nara Park (in social situations) and you're going to be a delightful part of the experience. (As long as you don't bite anyone for crackers. Or headbutt them.)

This is the map of Nara Park area, btw. The bus terminal is literally right on the entrance to the park. Also the city mascot is a sika deer named Shikamaro-kun. The little blue path from the terminal is where I bought deer crackers to feed the deer in the photo on the approach to Todaiji temple. (The deer enclosure I think is Rokuen which is where the sick or pregnant deer are cared for in safety.)

Anyways! The deer are expected and beloved and also protected as messengers of the gods within Nara.

(look at this guy!! Imagine he is the same deer as in the first photo, it's just months later with his antlers grown in more and he's napping in the sun in front of a sign that says deer! he was never out of place, he just needed a sunshine nap!)

Deer (you) isn't actually out place at all! deer is important and appreciated. Also if people make deer (you) feel like you don't belong in their (your) own house, you can tell them to leave.

On the Edge of a World So Cold

Modern AU, College AU, Inspired by Sydney White/Snow White

Rating: Not Rated

Status: Complete

Summary:

When Sansa Stark, the darling of Winterfell, had been told she’d have to transfer to Castle Black College for her final year, she knew it was for the best. It would be easier to do what her parents asked of her this far north--to keep her head down and stay out of trouble. The media would never think she would be at CBC.

And really, Sansa didn’t want to return to the Vale. Not after what happened. A new, fresh start sounded appealing to her.

But CBC is nothing like she expects, with an entire social system that no one prepared her for, and no sororities like she had been hoping for. Instead of joining a sisterhood, she winds up in a house with seven men.

the author kingsansa actually has a hunger games au fic i think you’d really like!! it’s called “tear it with your teeth” and it follows the first book really closely.

also, in regards to your potential fic, will it follow the books and be a proper au or will it just be set in the same universe as thg with jon and sansa being their own characters? or will it be more like the ballad of songbirds and snakes or a sunrise on the reaping au? 👀

might i add that the ballad of songbirds and snakes au has the potential to have a very very very toxic and angsty jonsa relationship and as you know, i do love me some angsty toxic jonsa. 😋😋

My dear angsty anon hello!!

I just posted a bit of a summary/context for my AU. Here it is!!

I’ve had that one saved for over a year to read it!! I recently rewatched all the movies with my nieces (a joy to introduce a new generation to THG tbh) and it reminded me I haven’t read it.

When Jon was a little boy, mom had sat him down and told him that their family had a special gift. A polite way to put it, since it's not really a gift. More like a curse. "It's normal to want to help them," mom had told him, holding his little hand in hers. "It's normal to be curious and want to talk to them, but you can't. You have to pretend you don't see them."

Summary:

“Guys,” she says loudly, stopping in her tracks and halting Jeyne and Randa along with her.

All her friends' attention turn to her, but her mind is reeling because she just realized that if she misses him this much and she wants to be with him all the time, then doesn’t that mean -

“I’m in love with Jon,” she admits aloud, her tummy suddenly swirling with butterflies at the mere thought.

All her friends groan in response, and Randa says, “We know.”

Modern AU, Single mom Sansa

Rating: G

Summary:

Purely fictional, of course. Sansa knew that something like that would never happen. She and Jon were so far removed from another, she couldn’t remember the last time she and Jon had exchanged words. (Lie. She knew it was at the small baby shower her mother threw for her before Brandon’s birth and Jon had gifted her a pirate ship bath toy.)

I was wondering, will you be making and releasing more art of Jon and Sansa? The ones made so far have been great!

Hi! Ty it's so nice to hear from you :) I've been stuck on this wip for too long and I lost momentum booo

But the idea of Sansa going to KL with an army to rescue Jon makes me so 🥺

Jon did not move much. He had wept there. He did not remember when he had begun. He did not remember how long it had lasted. He knew only that, at some point, he had been on his knees before the statue, his brow almost touching the stone and his hands clenched until they hurt. The tears had come with shameful force, soundless at first, then with sobs he had tried to hold between his teeth. He had not managed it. The crypt had heard. The dead kings had heard. The old Starks of stone and iron, lying beneath their worn swords, had heard the bastard of Winterfell sob like a child who had lost the way home. There were no tears now. His eyes burned. His throat felt scraped with salt. His chest ached, not only where the knives had gone through him, but somewhere deeper, a place no maester would know how to bandage. The wound in his arm throbbed beneath Luwin’s dressing. The one in his heart did not.

(...) “I thought you said you would never leave Winterfell again.” “I thought you said the same.” They exchanged smirks, and Arya kept on talking. “I used to think that, once I got home, I would never want to leave. But now that I’m here, I realize that things might never be the same again. Everywhere I turn, I see ghosts. I look in the mirror, and I see ghosts. I don’t think I can keep living this way.” Turning her eyes downward, Sansa chuckled rather bitterly. “I understand.” “Maybe there’s some big discovery for me to make out there. Something that will help me look at the mirror one day, and recognize the girl I see in the mirror once more. I just… I don’t think I’ll find it here.” “Being here is too comfortable.” Sansa agreed, almost against her own will. Talking about it made her palms tingle, and her head felt as if it was submerged in icy water. Arya raised an eyebrow at her. “I don’t mean to offend, but you don’t look very comfortable.” A million sharp answers crossed her mind, one more cruel than the last.  “There’s comfort in discomfort.” She said instead. (...)

Sansa Stark meets Aegon Targaryen, the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna Targaryen, who was raised by them in the Capital. Their strange, cosmic, and fateful meeting leads to a series of encounters between them, both completely unaware of the blood and relation they share. All Sansa knows of him is the name “Jon,” which he revealed to her, not knowing his own true identity in that moment. What happens when Sansa realizes that the feelings dwelling in her mind have been for a person with whom she already shares a relation? As a strange love begins to blossom between them, it ignites a profound complexity. The moment they step into the sphere of their true feelings and real connection, everything changes, shaping an intricate and difficult bond they must now confront.
