The girl who was on fire

This is basically my reaction during every one of her scenes. Nothing against the actress, I just hate Sansa’s character. She’s a dumb bitch to her whole family the first season and then basically just suffers because of it throughout the rest of the series. Her only real purpose in the plot is being the party through which we see what viscous cunts the Lannisters are, and the one Lannister who doesn’t treat her like shit, Tyrion, gets nothing but disgusted looks and general loathing from her.

you know.. i wasn’t gonna reply, i tried not to, but i just can’t. you’re fucking kidding me right? don’t get me wrong, you’re completely open to your own opinion, but once you add to MY photoset that said character is a “dumb bitch”, that makes it kind of hard not to say something. in the first season, sansa stark is not a “dumb bitch” to her whole family, she is a fucking child. she had dreams and aspirations and yes, childish notions of what her life was going to be like, but she had no clue about how things really are. she was TOLD her entire life that one day she would marry a handsome lord (in this case joffrey) and she obviously thought that’s how things were going to be. everyone is allowed to have this allowance of “stupidity” when they’re young: it’s called innocence. before she knew what was happening it was fucking shattered: her father murdered, her sister missing, her brother and mother hundreds of miles away basically plotting against the crown, the same crown that held HER prisoner and had her beaten and tormented daily. she doesn’t suffer in the rest of the series just because she was a “dumb bitch” in the first season. she’s not paying for anything. she didn’t DO anything. what do you think she SHOULD have done? killed joffrey? that’s punishable by death, but she almost did it anyway. run away? she wouldn’t have made it in the situation like arya is in, BUT ARYA WOULDN’T HAVE MADE IT IN THE SITUATION SANSA IS IN. SHE WOULD HAVE SPOKEN OUT LONG AGO AND GOTTEN HERSELF KILLED, BECAUSE IN SANSA’S SITUATION IT’S WORDS THAT MATTER AND SHE’S LYING THROUGH HER TEETH TO STAY ALIVE. “her only real purpose in the plot is being the party through which we see what viscous cunts the lannisters are” wow really? i think if the show wanted to show those “cunts” as you call them, they could (and oh wait, THEY DO) without needing sansa’s point of view. sansa isn’t a fucking plot device to show cruelty, she’s a main character who gets shit on for being a young girl. tyrion shows her some kindness, that’s true, but what do you expect her to do, kiss his feet and thank him for treating her like a human being? sansa stark is actually really fucking smart, thanks very much, and if she was a “dumb bitch” she wouldn’t still be breathing. she can barely find it in her to lie to joffrey and cersei without breaking down, and she can’t trust anyone. I REPEAT: SHE CANNOT TRUST ANYONE. TYRION IS A LANNISTER: AT THIS POINT, THAT NAME IS POISON TO HER. IN HER EYES, ONE WRONG WORD TO HIM COULD EASILY BE TOLD TO CERSEI AND THE KING AND BEFORE SHE KNOWS IT HER HEAD IS MOUNTED ON A SPIKE BESIDE HER FATHER’S. SO BASICALLY: SANSA STARK DOESN’T OWE YOU SHIT.
