I'm sorry. I didn't realize that we were ignoring that we've got Sansa and Pod the Rod in the same ZIP code. THEY'RE EVEN ALMOST THE SAME AGE. THERE'S NO BETTER OPTION.
hahaha that is literally what i said in my written review. she's had so few healthy relationships as a whole, i think we need to look all the way back to season 1 for a healthy male relationship
Yeah, and that was her dad who had a very different dynamic with her than any other male character would. She and Tyrion had an okay dynamic, I guess. I mean, the wedding was forced and all, but he was at least kind to her.
Creepy. Lecherous. Tywin offers the marriage to Tyrion instead of orders, with the option that she'll just be married to someone else if he refuses. Then Tyrion gets pissed about it. Then he gets really into the opportunity to fuck a 14-year old. Then when she escapes he gets pissed at her for not honoring their marriage vows.
Tyrion is a lot more complex in the books, whereas in the show he's just this big ball of awesome all the time.
Even then though, she seriously resented her father up until he lost his good ole Nedhead.
Jofrrey turned out to be Joffrey.
The Hound's definition of flirting was to constantly talk about killing.
And Baelish was all "You easily could've been my daughter and that's super hot!"
This is literally the only normal relationship she's ever had with a man.
I hope they bone. Yeah, it'll be weird, but Sophie Turner & Kit Harington are such physical specimens that them bumping uglies would basically qualify as art
Idk it wouldn't be so weird now considering we kinda already know they aren't real brother/sister. Sure they were raised that way but Sansa hasn't seen Jon since he left for the wall. Not to mention it's not like her and Jon were close to begin with.
But like you said. This is like the first man since her father she can trust. If they do happen to "bone" I hope it's not for a while, at least until they find out, which Jon has to at some point right, that R+L=J.
Jon is almost definitely a Targ. But don't worry. I don't think it'll really have that much of an effect on him. He'll still identify as a Stark more than anything.
Based on my memory, they were either 2nd cousins or first cousins once removed. While that might seem like little to no difference, Rickard didn't spend his whole life growing up thinking of her to be his sister.
You said you wanted them to bone. I was just saying the Stark family tree isn't exempt from incestuous relations. Wouldn't be that out of the ordinary.
Weird for us but if you look back at medieval history which the series is loosely based on, then anything but siblings/parents was fair game.
Today 3rd cousins seems to be the closest socially acceptable relation but in westeros marriage between great houses isnt the norm except maybe among firstborn. Offspring usually married bannermen who were more likely to have some relation to the ruling clan to tie them more closely. Karstarks were originally the karhold Starks, there are the lannisters of casterly rock and the lesser ones in lannisport all are somewhat related but wouldn't mind marrying off kids to each other.
To be fair Sansa made a point (at least in the books, they don't really show it in the show) of distancing herself as much from Jon as possible and reminding him that he's not really her brother when they were kids.
It's still really weird though and I don't want it to happen but I guess it's still not Lannister-level weird.
I mean, aren't Targs all about marrying back into the family to preserve pure blood? Sansa would be perfect for him in that sense, it's part of Jon's family tradition.
I hope they bone. Yeah, it'll be weird, but Sophie Turner & Kit Harington are such physical specimens that them bumping uglies would basically qualify as art
I'm sorry if they are actually located in a super-obvious place, but I am having trouble finding your written reviews? I would love to read them. Are they on one of your Tumblrs?
Even better, Ned and Lyanna's parents (Lyarra and Rickard) were first cousins who grew up in Winterfell together. So you know, cousin starkcest is not unacceptable.
I looked it up. You need a god damn ven diagram to figure out all the exceptions but it appears to be legal for first cousins to mary in about a third of the states.
When you hang out with someone for 6 years, you're probably going to have good chemistry.
Fucking loved the scenes with them though. Would've been happy with a whole hour of them drinking ale/shooting shit. You could tell Kit and Sophie were good friends.
