             “You jousted well, Ser Harrold,” It was fact; not bitter, not in girlish admiration as she bowed her head just slightly. Certainly she had gifted her favor to another, the loyal knight Ser Lothor Brune, and though not a particularly handsome man, nor as successful in the tilts, he was good and kind and the reaction from Harry the Arse was more than worthwhile. Sansa had not waited by the stables like some poorly dog, yearning for its master’s attention, but happened by their entry as the Young Falcon exited, caught unawares too. His squire had helped dismantle his plate armour and leathers, and beneath she could now see the injuries he’d sustained, mottled bruises, perhaps even a cut or too. How bold of him. In a mocking tone, she murmured. “No one told me you were brave.”

Overall? Overall I’m pretty meh about it all tbh.It’s really drawn out and nothing really happens and it’s still GRRM not really knowing what to do. Because a bunch of characters didn’t actually do much in that 5 years gap and now they have to do something that’s gonna need to be more drawn out because they have almost nothing going on while others like Jon, Dany, and Cersei have all these things happening. So Sansa and Bran get like 3 chapters each in AFFC/ADWD, while others get 10 and until we catch up, that’s gonna be a thing.As interesting as new characters seem, they also seem to be simply brought out to expand the universe more than it should. I don’t know if this makes a lot of sense but I do love Sansa very much, I do love the whole world very much, but I do not need any more. At this point, I want GRRM to start writing towards an end. If truly we are past the midpoint of the story, then I want to be able to see where things are gonna converge and climax and that’s not something that will happen if we keep adding material and characters and sideplots that go nowhere.Is it unfair of me? Maybe yes. Maybe I should just take what I can get and I do love Sansa/Alayne and the ways her mind works and getting to see the power games going on in the Vale. But I can’t help but think that the story is bigger than that and that everything political that I do enjoy very much is delaying the big magical plot with the dragons and Citadel and White Walkers and dragonglass I’m more interested in. I’m more interested in the big picture.Because when I started this, I was promised fantasy. I was promised this bigger than life battle for the fates of mankind and that’s what I want to see here. I know it’s partly because GRRM is so interested in history and he can’t help but just dwell and dwell and dwell on it until the end of time and build a hundred and one machinations inspired by the real history. But, in the end, it’s a fantasy book about this looming threat that makes for the very FIRST chapter and keeps going nowhere cause the politics  ( that are gonna boil down to nothing when Winter comes )  keep getting in the way and wasting our time. I do understand it’s a really complicated balance to maintain and Sansa has always been very far removed from anything in the magical front so there will be chapters that play on the big scheme. Bran, Jon and Dany have always been the best characters for that and we’re slowly introducing Sam and Arya to it. But everything LF does just grates on my nerves cause dude is gonna end up with more chaos than he can possibly manage on his hands and he’s gonna regret every single plot but I keep having to deal with his thousand and one BRILLIANT ideas that endanger my bby -.-

Honestly, it depends very much of who Harry is… I mean, bby girl is already scared enough that she's supposed to marry again and she already had tried to talk to Lysa about NOT marrying Sweetrobin that…In canon I don't think it's gonna end well, nothing ever does in canon and there I'm just very into Sansa using him to get the hell away from the Vale anyway she can, but rping is different and I dunno??? I could be into, I think, it if it works with the absolutely traumatized child Alayne is =/

Sansa blushed fiercely, shifting in embarrassment. "Ser....my lord..." Seven hells, what was his title? She could barely think now at such news. "I'm honored, my lord, truly...." 

with less skeletons in her closet. ❞
