“All my life men like you have sneered at me. And all my life I’ve been knocking men like you into the dust”
The northern girl. Winterfell’s daughter.
sansa stark + people’s perception or expectations of her
(requested by @sansaspride)
Sansa, would you like to visit Highgarden? All the autumn flowers are in bloom just now, and there are groves and fountains, shady courtyards, marble colonnades. My lord father always keeps singers at court, sweeter ones than Butters here, and pipers and fiddlers and harpers as well. We have the best horses, and pleasure boats to sail along the Mander. ↳ sansa goes to highgarden and ends up being just as happy as she should’ve been
Jon to Arya (A Game of Thrones)
this quote haunts me tbh
(via lesbianshepard)
i made this post two years ago and this quote still haunts me. if this is foreshadowing im going to scream.
#forever grateful for oberyn martell #the only character who consistently criticised and fought and raged against the all-pervasive culture of rape & sexual sadism #and who sought retribution for the rape of his sister not because it brought dishonour to his family #or sullied her femininity #but because it was a heinous violation of a human being that got buried in silence #he was determined to give voice to it; and to keep giving voice until it couldn’t be ignored any more #to be as unflinching and ruthless and relentless as the man who brutalised the person he loved #jfc the show needed this embedded voice of resistance so badly; one voice against a tide of complicity and complacency #[this character was everything this performance was everything i’m so fucking torn up about it]
See how fierce she grows? That’s my son inside her, the stallion that will mount the world, filling her with his fire.
