#slap her in armor! she’ll be alone and stalwart forever!

[florence-pew]

The fact that every single woman in GoT - except Gilly - who gained power over the course of the show only did so by shedding each and every traditionally female attribute she had (romance/tenderness/familial ties/motherhood/etc) tells you all you need to know about how the writers couldn’t write a ‘strong female character’ (gag me) without stripping them of their humanity first

#this is coming from a sansa Stan #I hollered when I saw my girl walking in armor to her throne #but at a distance the move feels... #too easy? #too expected? #sure you can be queen! #but not until you shed every last scrap of humanity and family connection and romance you once wanted #and yes obviously romance is going to be tough even impossible in her situation #but that doesn’t mean that sansa can’t wrestle with this? #be frustrated by it? #even yearn for her once naive simplicity #but no #that’s too complicated for these dudes #slap her in armor! she’ll be alone and stalwart forever! #got #I’m still mad obviously 🙄
