The scene that made me start shipping Sanrion in the first place?: This one

So for personal context: s3 aired in 2013 and I had just turned 18 around that time. I wasn't really that into got before but it became a comfort show. And I remember thinking that, for some reason, this scene out of all things I'd seen was the height of romantic.

Because Tyrion was in a position of power, because by law they were married. and out of all the things he could have done. He could have walked out, he could have just said 'not until you're older and less terrified' or simply pretended the problem wasn't there. Out of all the things Tyrion Lannister could have done He gave the power to Sansa.

He said 'not until 'you want' me to' essentially saying 'in this marriage if you don't ever want to have sex, we don't have to, forget whatever "I" want, because unless you want to do it first, I'm not taking that power away from you'

And when you're at the age of 18 and you see Peter Dinklage deliver that line like with all the seriousness of a man aware of what he is doing. Then wow. It leaves an impression.

I don't know any other scene on tv where the matter of sexual consent was treated as directly as in this scenario.

The scene being that two characters got married, they were supposed to have sex, he told her her consent came first and she said no to sex and he accepted her decision

Because in other shows scenes like these are usually followed by something that invalidates the consent previously denied. Either the consent is taken by force or the plot turns into some romantic bs where she's persuaded into falling into bed (in both cases her no is invalidated)

But to me at 18, it was the height of romantic that Tyrion Lannister, the least romantic ish hero in all the series. Didn't even try to talk teenage Sansa into changing her mind. She said no, and he was fine with taking the no. Sure he got drunk afterwards (with a wedding like that who wouldn't) but he never blamed or judged Sansa for her No.

Leaving aside the whole plot with Shae and the death of the Starks. The scene is still excellent as a stand alone example of what a man accepting the denial of consent looks like

And that's the day I began shipping Sansa and Tyrion. Because a part of me wished that these two characters would have separate plotlines and grow into their own and years down the line, when they were free to make their own choices again, after things were less messy. Finally free from being forced to do what they didn't want to do for duty or for fear. They would choose each other.

Not because there wasn't anyone else available, or because of some grand prophecy of destiny. But rather because Sansa would know that Tyrion would still love her and respect her even if she said No. Heck he wouldn't even try to change her mind if she said no. And Tyrion would know that Sansa would also be the same with him. She would respect him and care for him even if he said no too.

Okay this post got too long but yeah for those wondering why I started shipping Sanrion, it was the consent thing that made me feel super fuzzy and shippy about them 💘💘

Was trying to get a proper picture of Sansa and Tyrion from the ai art generator and it kept giving me pics like these so I got really annoyed

But I do think it opens up an interesting venue of conversation about ableism in shipping. Think about it If Tyrion hadn't been born with dwarfism, if he was just a normal wastrel second son, who was forcefully married to Sansa for his father's political motives. More people would be shipping Sanrion. If Tyrion as a abled bodied male, had shown Sansa the protection and respect he did in fact show her in GOT. People would be clamoring for them to make their marriage work. And it's sad that a lot of times, it really does seem like the reason people don't think Tyrion deserves a chance at love is exactly the same reason Tywin uses.

The guy deserves more respect than all the men in position of power that he's surounded by and he's treated like a glorified sidekick by most of the fandom. And I can't help but think that it's at least 50% influenced by ableism. But were not ready for that conversation yet

I agree with you 100%! I think it's very telling that even an AI image generator couldn't produce a picture of Tyrion as he really is. It says a lot about our society as a whole. It's both disheartening and disappointing.

If Tyrion didn't have dwarfism, I have no doubt that hordes of people would ship him with Sansa. He's one of the most beloved characters on the show, yet try to ship him with anyone--anyone at all--and people get all weird and squirmy about it. It is ableism at work, and it's a shame. As far as many in the fandom are concerned, Tyrion is allowed to be the cunning politician or the witty comic relief, but never the romantic lead.

one thing i've never seen anyone talk about in regards to sanrion is tyrions line "and so my watch begins" after sansa's rejection on their wedding night, because to me that had implied that he would remain faithful to her regardless of if their marriage was ever consumated

YES! It is so underrated, and not spoken about enough. Tyrion promises, regaurdless or not if they ever consumate their marriage he plans to honor his vows. And we see that he does (in the show)! And there are times I almost wish somehow, in a not weird or uncomfortable way it could have come up and Sansa find out about that. How Tyrion even respected both her wishes and the vows he made her when they were seperated for all that time.

Idk...maybe somehow in a verse where Sansa and Dany are less at one anothers throats. Maybe they even get along. Dany mentions she doesn't understand Tyrions reputation in Westeros at ALL because she has never even seen him really persue woman. Sansa nearly chokes, having assumed any fidelity he had to her would be out the window when she left the Red Wedding. It brings up, interesting questions that her curious mind can't let go of no matter what she does to try and not focus on it.

Did I add a WIP to my stupidly long list? *sigh*. Yes, yes I did.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love! 💞

Ooh! I can do this! I'm going to try to stick to Reddie centric but there's one that keeps calling to me from another Fandom.

Exit Light, Enter Night (Losers Nightmare On Elm Street AU that I LOVE but I don't think anyone has read no matter how much I beg.)

Come Out Of The Things Unsaid (viral tik tok quarantine roommates au)

To Me That's What You're Worth (Gilmore Girls Au that I freaking adored writing, especially Eddie and Ben's bestie dynamic.)

the path to paradise (Orpheus and Eurydice au. There's even an optional ending if you need a happily ever after)

The Everything Has Changed 'verse is my crowning achievement, I think. It's my favorite thing. Sweet, sexy, sad, funny, so much depth, character development, Canon adjacent/fix-it. Chapter 9 of feeling like I've missed you all this time is one of my favorite chapters I've ever written.

Bonus entrant: As I Lay Beside The Fire. Sansa and Tyrion from game of thrones post s7 get back together and grow closer, both dealing with the difficulties of their mental health after everything. Chapter 10 is another of my absolute favorite sections I've ever written.

I know nothing abt Sansa and Tyron but I'd LOVE to hear abt their dynamic and what they're from

Soooo Sansa and Tyrion!

Now bear in mind that everything I say here is relevant specifically to Game of Thrones, not A Song of Ice And Fire. I did start reading the book series but never finished. Also I don't remember everything very clearly, so this is just the gist of it.

This is Sansa Stark: (One of the rare young female characters who deserves the title of babygirl, but I digress)

Her life was going swimmingly. Her father ruled the north, she was young, naive and pretty. She had a big, loving family, and she was about to be betrothed to the the son of her dad's bff: a rich, handsome prince.

Unfortunately, the prince turned out to be a psychopath born out of incest. A lot of horrible shit happened. The king died and his 14 year-old son took the throne, her dad was executed for treason, her was family split asunder, and she was held captive as a hostage.

Now little King Joffrey belonged to a long line of rich, scheming shitheads known as the Lannisters. One of the slightly less shit of these was Tyrion:

Now don't get me wrong. This guy is no angel. He has problems, and they started the day he was born. His father and his elder sister (the late king's wife) absolutely hated him, both because of his dwarfism and because his mother died birthing him. Tyrion grew up bitter and basically wasted his life away with wine and prostitutes. The couple of times he did actually fall in love ended in absolute disaster.

Now Tyrion's father basically wanted to play politics and solidify his claim on the north, as well as humliate his son and the poor terrified girl they were holding hostage, so he forced them to marry.

Sansa herself was still a teenager and deeply unhappy with her new husband, but Tyrion, despite his love of sex, refused to touch her or hurt her in any way. He was one of the few people in Sansa's own private hell who truly respected her, and had she not been so young and afraid, in time she may even have been able to open her heart to him in return. Nevertheless, for the short time they were together, they did develop quite a sweet friendship.

Soon after their marriage, Sansa is rescused from her prison, and they go their separate ways. Sansa is dragged through various more fresh hells (including a MUCH less respectful marriage to an extremely unpleasant man), but only grows stronger and wiser through her torment. Meanwhile Tyrion gives his abusive family the middle finger, murders his father and goes on the run and ends up pledging alliegance to the queen of dragons instead.

A few years later, after a lot more shit has gone down, Sansa and Tyrion meet again, this time on the same side. Against all odds they both survived, and she sheer pride on Tyrion's face when he sees what Sansa has become just... argh! And Sansa never forgot the kindness of her first husband.

So when all is said and done and peace is finally restored, Sansa is Queen of the North, and Tyrion is Hand to the King (Sansa's younger brother). And I am among the group of people who just look at these two and are overwhelmed with feelings about the complicated mess of a relationship they have shared. I shift back and forth on whether I see them renewing their marriage out of a growth of genuine romantic love, or just simply bonding as besties who have been through hell and back. But either way - Sansa and Tyrion are in my mind the greatest power couple in all of Westeros.

I actually wrote a short post-canon reconciliation fic for them back in 2017 after GOT finished airing.But as a disclaimer I haven't read it for years so it might be shit lmao.

Love Interests and TWOW/ADOS speculation - Why Tyrion And Sansa Make Sense To Me

I've been wanting to make a contribution to the Sanrion fandom for so long, but I can't do anything artistically and only write once in a blue moon, my only real fandom skill is rambling. So, rambling time!

1) The Original Outline

Yeah, I know. I know, sorry. In the original outline, Tyrion is controversially involved in a love triangle with Arya and Jon. I'm not interested in the notion that GRRM repartitioned this love triangle amongst the Stark sisters or anything of that kind, nor in the idea that nothing actually changed from it. I think it's most likely that Jon and Daenerys will be romantically involved, and that Bran and Arya will see the completion of their relationships with their secondary love interests in the epilogues/ADOS, though that obv can only be a theory. What do I find relevant, then? That

1) Tyrion is said to befriend Sansa. While their nonconsensual marriage has its sweetness and they think comparatively fondly of one another considering the terrible situation, they can't be said to be developing a friendship in canon. That might be for the future! Still, it is very interesting to think how that may have happened. It Is possible that Sansa died in the original outline (no, its never actually mentioned, contrary to popular opinion, its only implied her baby is killed) but clearly she lives long enough to bitterly rue her choices, and it seems to be implied Tyrion befriends Sansa before he does Arya by the wording. Was this friendship developed in facing the horrors of the court and the issue of their conflicting loyalties together? Was it an important part of Tyrion's choice to defect, after having gone so far for his family as to burn Winterfell? There's so much room for speculation.

2) On a meta level, GRRM explicitely parallels them here as his grayest protagonists, the most conflicted and hardest to love. They both have sweeter journeys in the finished canon, but I think the intention was the same, and for me, the execution sealed the deal splendidly.

2) Fondness

Tyrion and Sansa have every reason in the world not to be fond of one another, but they are. Supposing that their marriage did not happen just because GRRM didn't know how to occupy valuable writing space in ASOS, the purpose must be to make them hate one another or to grow closer: they very clearly do not hate one another.

Tyrion is protective of Sansa over and over before and after they are wed, he's kind to her at Joffrey's nameday tourney, is interested in her wellbeing after the dissolution of her betrothal to Joffrey, protects her when Joffrey has her beaten for Robb's victory, puts himself at risk to avoid her a bedding ceremony, and does his best over and over to ease her suffering during their marriage, independently of whether he succeeeds. Often, though not always, he's also quite self aware and understanding of the fact Sansa is mistrustful and not overtly appreciative of his kindness, in a world where people are always wanting Sansa to be "grateful and obedient". Even at his bitterest and more pissed at Sansa, he protects her in his testimony about Joffrey's murder. These repeated instances are not needed for us to know that Tyrion is kind and fond of children, we've already been shown that very well. This is so obvious it hardly bears repeating, and this is a Sansa Month meta, so let's see Sansa's more subtle fondness.

We see in Sansa's thoughts once she's free and able to collect herself that she is, in fact, grateful to Tyrion's actions. He was kind to her. He protected her from Joffrey, not Littlefinger. She immediately protests his innocence of Joffrey's murder to Littlefinger. She finds herself wanting to tell Lysa that he was kind, but having to say he "had whores" instead, much like she was forced over and over again to dissimulate her loyalty to her traitor mother and brother.

We even have this pretty damning quote

Moreover, even when Sansa is desperately trying to be as unengaged as possible in the marriage and not attract attention in any way as she waits her chance to escape, she does have an interest in caring for Tyrion as a wife. She tried to curb his drinking on their wedding night in a way I don't think is out of self-preservation, because I don't think she would consider him being slightly drunker while he's already sloshed to be a greater danger to her than him being pissed because she dared contradict him, based on her experience. She is apprehensive about him confronting Joffrey again, she wishes to dance with him at their wedding, and she shows an interest in what he'll wear to Joffrey's wedding even though she knows she'll be peacing out right after it! It doesn't really reflect on her in anyway! Yet it's a role that comes quite instinctive to her. It's painful to see a 12 year old feel the need to do that, but it is how she as a very traditional person expressed her feelings.

Obviously these are sweet nuggets in a very bitter sea. Sansa and Tyrion in the books are sadly two people who don't trust each other, who hit on each other's negative baggage quite heavily, who have no wish to hurt one another, yet they do basically everytime they talk because of a situation they have more or less been forced in. Yet it's a dynamic GRRM thrives on and it's something that works as extremely shippy for me.

3) Endgame Desires

I'm someone who doesn't give that much thought to TWOW/ADOS, as someone who's bad at predictions and doesn't have too much hope for them to ever come. However I've developed the idea that Sansa's ultimate return will be to a rebuilt King's Landing. For Arya and Sansa to me the most significant place will be the one where they started their journey, where they quite literally poured their blood and tears and knew intimately in the darkest details and that shaped them as people before they even had agency enough to enbark on their developmental journeys in Braavos and the Vale. So I'm enamored with the idea that both will return to Winterfell, but ultimately Arya shall be lady of Harrenhal or anyhow have an important role in the Riverlands, and Sansa will come back to court not as a pawn but as a player once she has been given back the sense of home and safety and belonging she lost.

It's very widely theorized and foreshadowed that Tyrion will be Dany's hand and that Dany may be the endgame ruler, there's no need of my rambling for that. What struck me recently is how Sansa has been in the later books given an arc heavily antiparallel to the tragic story of her aunt Lysa, who before she was the lady of the Eyrie was the Hand's wife. Sansa's journey is paralleled-with-a-twist to hers in many ways (notably her making many of the mistakes Lysa made as a child and seemingly going towards mending them as an adult) and it would be satisfying to me to see her take up this role in a way that allows her to reach, unlike Lysa, real political and cultural agency in the environment of court intrigue that is to her most natural.

This would be a role of particular responsibility and influence, of course, in a court that lacks a Queen consort, perhaps because there is, you know a queen regnant instead 🤭 Dany and Sansa are Cersei's closest foils, and it would be so satisfying to see two "younger and beautiful queens" take up the role which she despised and the role which she failed at, that of chief lady and patroness of the court and that of ruling queen, and be so much better at them than she was.

4) Small things in common and foreshadowings

We know from Tyrion's bitter memories of Tysha that he enjoys

1) a girl who sings

2) blue eyes in which you can drown

3) this banter about the need or lack thereof of highborn people to be able to make their own fire, which i suppose there's a different attitude to in the North but it struck me

During their wedding, Sansa stands in defiance when Tyrion attempts to cloak her, but does kneel for the kiss, maybe foreshadowing refusal of him as a Lannister but acceptance as a person.

They both have their actions uncredited during the Battle of Blackwater, but they also both have a moment of not underestimating the other where everyone else does:

I think they genuinely just want similar things in life? In ASOS, they both have some of the loveliest passages about yearning for children and domesticity of the whole series. They enjoy city life and luxury and books and the pleasures of the table. Though Sansa is so new to it, they're both energized and intellectually gratified by feeling they get people's motivation and are on the top of the intrigue. They also get some parallel descriptions of their skill:

Sansa would have known who he was, and the fat one too, but Arya had never taken much interest in titles and sigils.

"The Boltons skin their enemies." Jaime remembered that much about the northman. Tyrion would have known all there was to know about the Lord of the Dreadfort, but Tyrion was a thousand leagues away, with Cersei.

They both have very complex ways of processing trauma that it would be very long to write about, but it breaks my heart how they both describe it in similar ways:

Finally, I think its very interesting that Seasons of My Love is given to us as the leitmotive of Tyrion's love life, yet the verse about sunset-colored hair never happens in his chapters... Yet? 🤭

#sansamonth2023 #sanrion #op #i def forgot some things lol. ive just been rotating this for months and its so self indulgent in all the little details. it was nice to #embrace that fandom tradition
