Finally getting around to finishing Vikings. Left off at season 2 and I’m…I’m an Ivar girlie?? I am. I’m a whore for Ivar.

Never thought I’d betray Bjorn but honestly he’s so boring compared to Ivar.

Sansa as Queen in the North is so grief coded to me I cannot bear it. The girl who has been trying to get back to her family for years only for her family to leave her once they are reunited. Winterfell is her home yes but what is left of it? Ash and Snow.

A girl who is keeping a promise her father made to his people, her brother made to his people, her cousin made to his people. They are her people now as they have always been, but they are not her family, and they are loyal at first because of her name and only later because of who she is.

Most of her brothers are dead. Theon is dead. Bran is King of the Southern Kingdoms. Brienne is his Kingsguard. Arya has left to find what lies beyond the distant shores. And Jon is North of the Wall.

Leadership is isolating and lonely and as much as she may have been groomed to be a wonderful ruler she was not made to live alone. She survived being alone to come back to her pack and now she rules over a ruin and the crypts beneath it. She must endure as the last Stark in Winterfell. Her duty demands it. Love is the death of duty and she is her father's daughter.

What is it like, I wonder, to be Queen of what remains?

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

7. How many ideas for fics do you have right now?

13. How much planning do you do before writing?

6. I for sure have a couple of old favorites that I periodically come and revisit.

I Want Something So Impure by silentfrenzy is a classic in my mind. It's got loads of Jonsa angst, and was especially something I read a lot after s8 came and kneecapped me, personally. It's a one shot, and is actually a songfic, though I forget that all the time, and is mainly an extremely cathartic fight between Jon and Sansa, showverse

 strike hard and true, crow (or i'll come back and haunt you) by Hatice is another dark Jonsa that I used to read all the time. Dark, angsty Jonsa was my absolute fav back in the day (still is, really). Really goes hard into implications of resurrection based on book canon, and I enjoy that immensely.

Of Ribbons and Barbarians by SainTalia is, unsurprisingly, another Jonsa fic, but this time set in an amazingly imagined AU where the Targaryens never came to Westeros. This is the kind of fic writing that I aspire to.

and to prove I do read fic other than Jonsa, there's also we get dark, only to shine by Elizabeth (aghraine), which is a LucreziaCesare fic, which mixes the showtime Borgias with the actual history

there are a couple others that I personally have on my laptop, but have been deleted from ao3 😩 Rip "your mess is mine" you will always be famous.

7. At the moment, I really only have one major fic idea that I've been working on and off for ages. I've resolved not to publish it until its finished, which may be a long time, lol. A couple of years ago, there was a Jonsa week prompt set that used one of the Seven for each day. I ended up writing a short one for the Smith, and then shelved it because I wasn't happy with it. I ended up reopening it last year, and trying to write a multi part series with each chapter being themed after one of the gods. The main thing that inspired me to reopen it was, uh, some chats about Sansa bathing in the godswood a la Jonquil and how that fits the Maiden theme, hahaha. I have a couple of other Jonsa ideas that I periodically work on but I doubt will ever be posted. Oh, and there is a Maris/Aemond fic that lurks in the back of my ASOIAF fanfic folder. It predates "a poison tree", but I got sidetracked with that project, lol.

13. I actually plan a lot before I write. I do a ton of outlining and spitballing before I ever end up typing anything, and I also don't write chronologically. It's one of the reasons why I struggle to put out chapters regularly, because I am rarely writing in order, and am usually writing way out in the future, before circling back. I actually have more plans for my inactive published fics, but I haven't written the connecting pieces to what's already has bee published, lol. But I do spend a ton of time just thinking about what I want to write and where I'm planning to go. Which then gets frustrating when I end up scrapping a lot, lol.

What’s up with all the antis in the tag again lately? Why did they crawl back out from under their rocks?

He really murked her ass. Disrespectfully.

Jon: "I had a choice."

"Keep my crown"

"Or protect the North"

"I chose the North"

[devthefangirl]

My favorite Jonsa crack fic is the “time travel all the Starla are alive” verse but almost none of them are complete works.

[devthefangirl]

It would be so sweet to see them in Winterfell again

I really can’t deal with Sophie’s long red hair and Kits curls coming back at the same time. It’s not fair of them honestly.

None of my on-going Jonsa fics im reading have updated in DAYS and I’m dying

Fic recs:

Give me Shelter by Just_a_dram - Jon raised in Essos coming to conquer the North with all the Sharks alive. Tasteable Jonsa tension.

The Mating Game by ganymede_elegy - Modern AU Rich people arranged marriage, fake relationship but they fall in love.

Not a Jonsa post but honestly you guys are they only ones I talk to… but I miss Maisie/Sophie friendship content 😭 they haven’t blessed us in a while

#jonsa

[devthefangirl]

Sees Sophie’s insta story. Runs to Jonsa tumblr.

#jonsa

[devthefangirl]

Any Jonsa fic Recs where Sansa is low key desperate to carry on the Stark name for Ned’s legacy? Like won’t stop for anything. I feel like that’s a thing in the subtext. For Winterfell. For her Father. For her.any fics with that vibe? Send ‘em my way

[devthefangirl]

I know it’s bad for her situation but I adore how there were all these metal rumours abt Sansa killing Joffrey. Suddenly she’s a wizard, shapeshifter, she can fly and she has blood covered direwolves around her??? Y’all say she’s the least northern of the kids but kings landing doesn’t seem to think so.

[devthefangirl]

Why did Jon tell Sansa about R+L=J? I ask only about Sansa because D@ny doesn’t mention Arya when she commands him not to say anything. She does mention Sansa. Focuses on Sansa.

So why? Why do Sansa and Arya “need” to know?

Contrary to the “you know nothing” line Jon absolutely knows things.

Jon knows Arya will never see him as anything but a brother, knows it won’t matter to her in any way.

Jon also knows what Sansa is. Who she is. What she will do with the information.

He could have kept it to himself. Arya was a non-factor in this. Why did he tell Sansa?

His Ned Stark honesty aside, he could have rode south with the “love” of his life and remained Jon Snow. He didn’t. He gave the biggest secret in Westeros to one of the most powerful players in the game. A player he knew hated “his queen”. A player he knew would use it, can’t convince me otherwise.

So why?

Just some of the things I still think about.

#jonsa

[devthefangirl]

Why do they keep playing us? Why do we let them? Cuz we love this shit

the j word agenda is thriving!
