my main bitch. my ride or die. my bae. my numba one. i will bop to this bitch til the day i die 😎 🦄

I have seen a trend recently (though I’m sure it’s not actually a recent phenomenon) of Antis claiming that GRRM Himself is not on board with SanSan and has outright claimed that it is “creepy” and other such derogatory terms. In my almost-4 years in this fandom, I have never seen GRRM utter such a thing. The closest he has gotten (and perhaps what these people are referring to) is that one blog post where he expressed surprise that female readers have the hots for Sandor. I guess this is “proof” that SanSan is #cancelled because George -- the same man who was also surprised that people picked up on the UnKiss, like he literally thought he was BEING SUBTLE about that -- expressed shock that he wrote this dangerous wannabe-Byronic anti-hero whom one of his main female characters is actively fantasizing about and female readers are swooning over it, lmao. Yes, he’s been very coy and evasive over the years, but he hasn’t been outright discouraging.

But, you know, since y’all insist on bringing up GRRM, here’s a little reminder of some other things he’s said and done regarding SanSan... 

Like when he -- a man who wrote for the “Beauty & The Beast” TV series for years before AGoT was even written -- commissioned a B&TB-inspired portrait for the 2012 ASOIAF calendar

which is now HANGING ON THE WALL IN HIS HOUSE

or how about the fact that he was the one who wrote the BoBW episode of GoT

He also wrote Episode 8 of Season 1, and in the DVD commentary, he refers to the scene that he wrote for Sansa and Sandor “beautiful”... icymi that was this scene:

(like, even staunch SanSans think Sandor was being a creep in that scene, but GRRM apparently thought it was just lovely, lmao...)

But perhaps most important of all, the one thing that should end any Discourse™ over both the voracity of SanSan and GRRM’s willing complicity in it:

“There’s something there.” Period, end of discussion.

“Thanks again for coming with me Justin. I’m sorry it was last minute but I couldn’t think of any better arm candy to accompany me tonight than you.”

“I’m flattered you thought to invite me Nina. It’s not everyday a beautiful woman invites me to be her date to a swanky party. I wonder if there will be an open bar.”

“It’s a fundraiser Justin, not a wedding.”

“So what? Maybe we can snag a bottle or two of some fine nectar and have our own party somewhere else? I spied a couple little alcoves we could have some real fun in.” *leans in*

*leaning away* “Whew, are you warm in here? I think it’s getting quite warm. Why don’t we step outside for some fresh air?”

“Of course it’s hot in here. You, in that outfit, damn, it’s probably making every guy with eyes in here sweat.”

Nina: *rolls eyes* “Let’s go.”
