Good morning! Welcome to a new day of âSansa is so uninteresting that I talk about her 24/7 just to expose how uninteresting she isâ ¯\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
GRRM spells out Arya Lyanna similarity but stans think Sansa is LYANNA2.0.
Are you 100% sure about that? Like really, really sure?Â
As I said before somewhere,
Antis and haters gonna oppose and hate. Thatâs their thing. They questioned and denied every parallel that Lyanna and Sansa actually share, and proceed to attack anyone who dare to say they share those parallels. Â Whatâs knew about that?
Lyanna and Arya parallels are textual evident, they are easily spotted but they could be easily questioned as well, especially because most of the statements about Lyanna came from Ned, and he is not only an unreliable narrator, but his memories of Lyanna are embellished by love and trauma. Â If you contrast what Ned said about Lyanna with other sources, not so biased, Nedâs statements about her donât look so evident and solid anymore. Â Â Â
Everyone count as Arya and Lyanna parallel that they both are fond of flowers. In the Books Ned says that Lyanna was fond of flowers, and later Sansa tells us about Arya collecting flowers for Ned. From those two passages the whole fandom concludes that, just like Lyanna was fond of flowers, Arya is fond of flowers too. Just like that, so evident and easy!Â
I mean, why not to conclude that? The Books never said that Arya hates flowers or something, right?Â
Lady Smallwood welcomed the outlaws kindly enough, though she gave them a tongue lashing for dragging a young girl through the war. She became even more wroth when Lem let slip that Arya was highborn. âWho dressed the poor child in those Bolton rags?â she demanded of them. âThat badge ⌠thereâs many a man who would hang her in half a heartbeat for wearing a flayed man on her breast.â Arya promptly found herself marched upstairs, forced into a tub, and doused with scalding hot water. Lady Smallwoodâs maidservants scrubbed her so hard it felt like they were flaying her themselves. They even dumped in some stinky-sweet stuff that smelled like flowers.
âA Storm of Swords - Arya IV
âThey even dumped in some stinky-sweet stuff that smelled like flowers.â
Right. She really seems fond of flowersâŚâŚâŚâŚ.
Why donât you compare her with Cersei like how both abused their siblings when they were youngÂ
âJaime told me once that he only feels truly alive in battle and in bed.â She lifted her cup and took a long swallow. Her salad was untouched. âI would sooner face any number of swords than sit helpless like this, pretending to enjoy the company of this flock of frightened hens.â
The queenâs face was hard and angry. âWould that I could take a sword to their necks myself.â Her voice was starting to slur.  âWhen we were little, Jaime and I were so much alike that even our lord father could not tell us apart. Sometimes as a lark we would dress in each otherâs clothes and spend a whole day each as the other. Yet even so, when Jaime was given his first sword, there was none for me. âWhat do I get?â I remember asking. We were so much alike, I could never understand why they treated us so differently. Jaime learned to fight with sword and lance and mace, while I was taught to smile and sing and please. He was heir to Casterly Rock, while I was to be sold to some stranger like a horse, to be ridden whenever my new owner liked, beaten whenever he liked, and cast aside in time for a younger filly. Jaimeâs lot was to be glory and power, while mine was birth and moonblood.â
âA Clash of Kings - Sansa VI
Cersei disliking the activities Sansa loves?
Cersei wanting to wield a sword, dressing as a boy so she could spend the day doing what Jaime does, like training with swords with the Master of Arms at Casterly Rock, perhaps?Â
OMG Cersei sounds so much like Arya. Who woulda thought?
And both Arya and Cersei have killed a child while being a child themselves, among others parallels.Â
And this isnât something âSansa Stans made upâ, you just have to look at reddit and you will find posts like this one exploring more Arya and Cersei similarities.Â
Itâs funny how haters will claim that Sansa abused her sister, or that Catelyn abused Jon, something that GRRM has already rejected; but they will jump at our necks when we call abuse what people like Littlefinger, the Hound and Tyrion did to Sansa.
But, When was Sansa physically violent against Arya the way Cersei was with baby Tyrion, or the way Arya knocked Sansa down to the ground and proceeded to pummel Sansa [A Game of Thrones - Eddard III]?
When was Sansa psychologically violent against Arya, the way Cersei was psychologically violent against Tyrion? Because both Arya and Sansa were offensive to each other, and Arya was not the only sibling that used to call all of Sansaâs beloved activities stupid. Minus Jon, bless him.  Â
Itâs also funny how haters will claim that the only possible endgame for Sansa that we want for her is being crowned Queen, despite all the stress and responsibilities of being a monarch would mean to a teenager, but they are the same people that are OK with Arya, Bran and Rickon being monarchs, all of them younger than Sansa. Â
or Lysa that how both of them allied with LF to kill Lord of Eyrie?
âThey all tried to take him from me. My lord father, my husband, your mother ⌠Catelyn most of all. She liked to kiss my Petyr too, oh yes she did.â
Sansa retreated another step. âMy mother?â
âYes, your mother, your precious mother, my own sweet sister Catelyn. Donât you think to play the innocent with me, you vile little liar. All those years in Riverrun, she played with Petyr as if he were her little toy. She teased him with smiles and soft words and wanton looks, and made his nights a torment.â
âLet her up, now. Let her away from the door.â
âNO!â Lysa gave Sansaâs head another wrench. Snow eddied around them, making their skirts snap noisily. âYou canât want her. You canât. Sheâs a stupid empty-headed little girl.â
âNor have I. Weâre together, just as you always wanted, just as we always planned. Just let go of Sansaâs hair âŚâ
âI wonât! I saw you kissing in the snow. Sheâs just like her mother. Catelyn kissed you in the godswood, but she never meant it, she never wanted you. Why did you love her best? It was me, it was always meeee!â
âA Storm of Swords - Sansa VII
That pretty much sounds like this Arya?Â
It wasnât fair. Sansa had everything. Sansa was two years older; maybe by the time Arya had been born, there had been nothing left. Often it felt that way. Sansa could sew and dance and sing. She wrote poetry. She knew how to dress. She played the high harp and the bells. Worse, she was beautiful. Â
âA Game of Thrones - Arya I
âYou rotten!â Arya shrieked. She flew at her sister like an arrow, knocking Sansa down to the ground, pummeling her. âLiar, liar, liar, liar.â
âArya, stop it!â Ned shouted. Jory pulled her off her sister, kicking. Sansa was pale and shaking as Ned lifted her back to her feet. âAre you hurt?â he asked, but she was staring at Arya, and she did not seem to hear.
âA Game of Thrones - Eddard III
Yeah Sansa has so many similarities with Lysa⌠¿Or are those contrasts, something more like foils? Â
Yeah Sansa is Littlefingerâs âallyâ, not his hostage or his victim, but his ally, they are equal, they are the same, and they joined forces to attain world domination.Â
Yeah Sansa is âconsciously and willingâ poisoning Sweetrobin while she also wishes that one day he would marry a girl that loves his hair. Sheâs such an evil creature!
But you know who would consciously know about the right dose of poisons? Someone who is having training about killing by poisons. Or a Maester, like Colemon, the adult in charge of Sweetrobinâs medical treatment.    Â
Ppl donât hate Sansa but her stans make everything in the story about her. Â
Please send all your complaints to the man that writes Sansa Stark. GRRM is very aware that most of his readers dislike Sansa, but he always has a good answer to those readers.Â
Have a nice day, I guess.Â
