The things we do for love

Burned people alive

Destabilized a country’s economy

Committed mass murder of an entire city

Profited off slavery/made slavery favorable

Lost the love and support of Jon

Destroyed food

Allow r*pe and pillaging for her conquest

Disrespected Jon and his claim (Jon fires back with an “I don’t need your permission. I am a king”)

Died

Things Sansa has done that Dany hasn’t:

Been elected queen when other options were present

Cared about Dany’s armies after the Long Night

Cared about the food

Supported Jon and his claim

Genuinely loved her family and country

Stayed kind and caring despite trauma

Lived

These are just the facts. Sansa has always been kindhearted, loving, and caring. She doesn’t take pride or joy in the harm of others (she cries when LF is killed).

She will always be remembered as the loving Queen in the North who defended her home’s independence. Dany will be remembered as a mass murderer and subjugator.

Sansa dreaming of having a daughter that looks like Arya. (Arya looks like Jon)

Welcome to Jonsa classics, the only series on the internet where I waste the freetime I don’t actually have with revisiting the best classical Jonsa moments from 7 seasons and 5 books. To start this of, I’ll be taking a closer look at the most plot-relevant scene to ever plot-relevant. 

Jon approaches his totally platonic hot sister and immediately notices that she wears a new dress. Girls like it if their boyfriends brothers are attentive like that. 

I also look at people’s breasts first. That’s completely normal. What are faces, anyway? But, Jonny is so smol we can’t really hold that against him. It’s not his fault that Sansa’s boobs are eye-level for him. I’m sure his look won’t linger for long…

I suppose … he’s looking at her dress…

But it doesn’t matter either way, Sansa doesn’t seem to mind very much

Even if Jon noticing Sansa’s new dress had to be in there for some reason, was it really necessary for Sophie to do a beauty-shot? Slow blinking included? Here, have a another look at the last shot of Sansa, looking as radiant as possible in slow motion: 

Did we need that for a “sibling” bonding moment? A shot dedicated solely to illustrating that Sophie is in fact gorgeous as Sansa Stark? A shot with Jon looking her up and down as if she just walked down the stairs for their prom-date? 

Anyway, let’s look how Jonny reacts to “do you like it?”… or rather what he might be thinking…

This is of course only my interpretation. Just for good measure, once more in gif-format because Kit’s facial expressions are absolutely priceless:

CONCLUSION: 

Staring at his radiant sister’s wolf bits is the most targ Jon will ever get. 

In this meta, I will try to find the clues of Dance of Dragons 2.0 in Daenerys and Jon ADWD chapters. 

(I will be pointing out how these two are meant to be against each other) 

Mostly: I will examine the chapters that follow each other. 

Let’s start…

“I believe that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.”

This is in response to your post @tatticstudio55 The original by @thewokedragon was getting unwieldy with all of our reblogs so I’m beginning a new one. You don’t have to respond or if you want you can make your own and just tag me, I don’t know the Tumblr etiquette, but a lot of us use our phones and that baby was just way too long for comfortable scrolling.  

So, just to clarify, zero part of me feels the need to rain on other people’s parades. I only reblogged initially because it was in the Jonsa tag, and I felt like a Jonsa should explain our POV. I don’t like Jonerys, but if you like it, that’s fine. I’ll studiously avoid it, you can revel in it, and we can both be happy. I only got involved because the charge of sexism was being leveled at people I like and respect and it was being thrown in my face each time I looked in the Jonsa tag. I think it’s easy to be very free with calling people sexist, and I reblogged OP a second time trying to talk about that idea a bit.

Regardless, this is entertainment, we should only do this if it is fun, and because of how s8 went down, it was fun for no one. I feel awful for Bran fans, Dany fans, Jaime fans, Sansa fans, Jon fans etc etc. These characters all deserved better writing. There is very little you could say in criticism of D&D that I would object to, but, that does not mean that Dany’s villain arc is due to sexism or was a result of writing to help the male characters. In fact, my response was trying to point out that rather than any of it benefiting Jon, it was all in service of the desire to make Dany breaking bad a surprise. There is sexist writing in ASOIAF, there is sexist writing in GoT, there is sexism in the fandoms for both, but it doesn’t follow that the decision for a female character to break back is motivated by sexism.

I think it’s very important that women embrace a wide variety of representations of women in media, not just nice ones, not just the ones who represent us as an individual. In GoT alone I like Sansa, Arya, Brienne, Missandei, Yara, Cat, Cersei, Olenna, Dany etc etc. But that doesn’t mean I agree with them or think they’re always right. I sympathize with them, I enjoy them, but I can still say they’re wrong. I can still say, here’s the line you crossed and when you crossed it. We should definitely criticize sexism in entertainment, but just because we don’t like how a female character is portrayed or a female character’s fate, doesn’t mean it is sexist. Criticism is one thing, objecting to a character’s nature because she’s a woman seems like we’re getting awfully close to reverting to when a woman in media could only be one thing.
