He pushed himself to his feet. “Don’t lie, Sansa. I am malformed, scarred, and small, but…” she could see him groping “…abed, when the candles are blown out, I am made no worse than other men. In the dark, I am the Knight of Flowers.” He took a draught of wine. “I am generous. Loyal to those who are loyal to me. I’ve proven I’m no craven. And I am cleverer than most, surely wits count for something. I can even be kind. Kindness is not a habit with us Lannisters, I fear, but I know I have some somewhere. I could be… I could be good to you.”

i like pepper potts, but i wish her slut-shaming tony's exes (for example the reporter she calls trash, she screamed at black widow and was very suspicious of her) would be treated as a character flaw instead of something cool. in the third movie she finally made a female friend (kinda, after the iffy start), but that all got blown to hell once more :o

Tue, 21 May 2013 20:00:00 -0400

I honestly never got the impression that we were actually supposed to think Pepper was perfect - she certainly has faults, like every other character ever. I just meant I really loved her when I said she was “perfect.” Just like how she’s perfect to Tony. <3

what

I'm a show-only fan. Can you explain to me exactly why Sansa ISN'T being a shallow brat right now? I'm honestly asking, because maybe the books explain it better but from what I can see on the show, that little girl is exceedingly lucky in being married off to Tyrion (as opposed to Joffrey), and I want to smack her upside the head for not seeing it. And it was just plain RUDE to say "What if I never want you?" Poor Tyrion. So what am I missing here? I'm honestly asking.

Tue, 21 May 2013 19:38:00 -0400

I don’t think it’s at all necessary that you read the books in order to understand Sansa’s plight here - it really just takes a base amount of human empathy.

I mean, how about you consider the fact that a forced wedding is a forced wedding, no matter the groom - and no one should be judged for not jumping for joy when faced with one?

Or perhaps the fact that Tyrion is a man twice Sansa’s age who she doesn’t know or trust?

Or the fact that Sansa has literally no one she can trust in this situation? That no one is looking out for - or even remotely interested in - her safety and happiness? (I’d argue that Tyrion is concerned for Sansa’s well-being, but how could she know that?)

Maybe the fact that Tyrion has worked really hard to cultivate the image of a lustful, emotionally unaffected drunk, and Sansa - unlike the audience - hasn’t been given much of a chance to get to know Tyrion beyond that?

And I would especially ask you to entertain the notion that Sansa is still a child forced into a very adult situation over which she has no control. That she goes into her wedding day fully expecting to be raped that night - and that there is absolutely nothing she can do to stop it. That if, at any point, Tyrion changed his mind and decided to exercise his “marital rights,” Sansa would have to comply.

Add to this that this terrifying ordeal is being orchestrated by a family that has happily abused and tortured her for the past year (after murdering her father right in front of her eyes) - and that Tyrion is a part of that family, even if he is the least threatening of them - and it really doesn’t take much consideration at all to see why Sansa is less than thrilled.

She is, in fact, rightly terrified - and that has nothing to do with what we know of Tyrion’s character.

the Sansa/Tyrion scene in the last episode didn't just break my heart, it like tore it out of my chest and jumped on it.

I’m not even sure how I’m still alive tbh. HOW DOES ONE SURVIVE WHEN THEIR HEART IS NO LONGER INSIDE THEIR BODY?

I had an awful Monday, which I spent listening to co-workers relentlessly bash Sansa Stark after the latest GoT episode. Less frustrating but still irksome was the fact that their comments about Tyrion, though all positive and sympathetic, were superficial and missed the point. As soon as I got home, I made a beeline for your blog so that my faith in humanity could be restored. Bless you for existing.

Tue, 21 May 2013 18:17:35 -0400

and bless YOU for existing, as people like you are pretty much the reason I keep this blog going <3

Since you're as big a fan of Sansa as you are of Tyrion, does it bother you at all that the show rather neglected Sansa in the wedding scene? Don't misunderstand, I love Tyrion and am glad his trauma was given its due attention because his storyline is highly important. But at the same time, I can't get over my disappointment that Sansa's trauma was so obviously minimized and dismissed in comparison to his. And I won't lie, I'm pissed that they had her kneel for him immediately. Your thoughts?

Tue, 21 May 2013 18:13:00 -0400

I have to be honest here and say I wasn’t nearly as upset by GoT’s portrayal of Sansa and Tyrion’s wedding as many (some of whom I consider close friends) were. Perhaps it wasn’t perfect, but for me it was darn close. Of course, a lot of that has do with the ways I’ve come to terms with Sansa and Tyrion’s characters - and that’s deeply personal.

Like, for me, Sansa’s quiet stoicism in the face of her fear and humiliation and suffering is spot on - her saying nothing is, to me, more telling than any line they could have written for her. I worry, however, that show-only fans might miss this and instead see the entire ordeal as Tyrion’s wedding - Tyrion’s suffering - because his display, as befits him, is so much more public than Sansa’s. It’s tough - and it’s something that I think could have been helped by letting there be more moments where Sansa’s silence was the scene’s focus, rather than just letting her fade into the background in the face of Tyrion’s incredible drunkenness.

(I’ve already talked about how I think Tyrion’s drunken state was both in-character and a good indication of the way his own traumas have affected him. I see Sansa’s silence as a good indication of hers, get it? I don’t have a problem with either of these portrayals. It’s just unfortunate that D&D don’t really seem to have thought through how one would overshadow the other.)

that sad moment when you realize the posts where Tyrion is a monster who barely restrains himself from the sexual violence he so craves and Sansa is a shallow, heartless bitch who enjoys Tyrion’s humiliation will always outweigh those where they’re both victims who deserve our understanding and applause for actually conducting themselves quite admirably given the circumstances :(

You’re right. I have no idea how you feel and you have no idea...

You’re right. I have no idea how you feel and you have no idea how I feel. But I promise you one thing, my lady. I won’t ever hurt you.

How to be a (tm) "good feminist":

Tue, 21 May 2013 14:33:01 -0400

step one: dismiss all forms of oppression other than misogyny. racism? ableism? fuck that.

step two: there is no step two. you’ve already made it. congratu-fucking-lations.

“And then there’s the wine, which is grape juice. Everyone hates it. Peter has to drink it all the time. It’s nice for one or two scenes, but Peter is constantly downing that stuff because Tyrion does. So he’s always like, “Can we get a break from the grape juice? Please?””

He pretty much spends all of the “Blackwater” commentary complaining about the grape juice and calling Lena out for never actually drinking it.

Speaking of quality people. Who do you follow that is bamf? Others that i can get awesome shit from?

Mon, 20 May 2013 22:03:00 -0400

Okay, so the thing is, I only follow a handful of people, really - less than 100 - so if I’m following someone, you can bet I think you should be following them too. But I’m going to assume you’re asking for ASoIaF blogs specifically, so let me direct you to a few really great ones! (Really though, follow everyone I follow - they’re pretty much the best people on tumblr.)

spasil: quality, quality Tyrion fan who has great insights into how ableism affects fandom’s relationship to Tyrion - also posts heartbreakingly lovely art.

sansasnark: one of the fandom’s best and most prolific Sansa fans - also happens to stun me regularly with her intelligence.

lyannas: fabulous and fashionable and a Dany fan NOT to be trifled with. putting up with none of your bullshit, tbh.

joannalannister: literally my first follower and the most quality gal on tumblr. if you follow no other ASoIaF blog, follow this one. also, she recently started making graphics and they are rather kick-ass, if I do say so myself.

theongreyjoy: what can I say - everyone knows Nana. XD but this is the girl who put me on the ASoIaF map and who continues to amaze me with her meta/photoshop skills daily. she had to have a spot here.

barbreyryswells: the only social justic blog you ever need to follow, Iman is as fierce as they come.

theonflayjoys: lovely for a myriad of reasons, most having to do with an admirable ability to find understanding with most any character.

theoldgods: intelligent criticism of ASoIaF and GoT, with a dose of what social justice should be.

azorahai: brought to me by Nana, Chelsea makes me vaguely terrified but in a good way. always there to call you out on your bullshit and remind you why overlooking Jon doesn’t do you any favors.

onlyalittlelion: a frighteningly intelligent and eloquent fan of Tyrion, Sansa, and Sansa/Tyrion. it’s kind of my aspiration to be more like Jess. XD

thestarkinhighgarden: best fanfiction in this fandom, hands down - plus some great text posts!

daceymormont: all I can say is, we Tyrion and Jorah fans have gotta stick together - and this girl is pretty much the best Jorah (and Mormont family as a whole!) fan there is.

bitchofaseige: another Jorah fan who will consistently astound you with her quality and wit.

thenorthdismembers: an eloquent and passionate Catelyn fan who will never let you forget this important northern lady - even when the television series seems determined to do just that.

freefolking: Jon and Theon and Ygritte (this girl IS Ygritte, okay?) and some fucking beautiful graphics. what’s not to love?

swordinthedarkness: probably the most intelligent and well-informed ASoIaF fan out there, tbh.

ateacupinastorm: there is literally no one in this fandom whose opinion I value more than Josh’s. also does his damnedest to call attention to ableism in the ASoIaF/GoT fandom.

sansaandtyrion: another one of my first followers, Annie’s is the only blog you’ll ever need to keep you adrift in Sansa/Tyrion feels. also she’s just a sweet, sweet lady and I can’t get enough of her.

taeko-yasuhiros: I met Stephanie back in college where I introduced her to ASoIaF and now here she is writing better meta than I could ever dream HOW IS THIS FAIR?

Mehhhhh I hope I didn’t leave anyone out, I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS OKAY.

wasn't peter's acting great?
