TOP CHARACTERS OF 2011: Sansa Stark, Game of Thrones
My beautiful, perfect queen. Basically, if you hate on Sansa using a specific set of gendered terms, we’re probably never going to be friends. I loved how so many times throughout the first season you see these perfect glimpses of how very childlike and naive she is, so beautifully played by Sophie Turner. As the show progresses and the courtly world of kings and queens and knights turns out to not be the fairytale she thought you can see her harden, crack a bit around the edges.She is so often reviled and put down in fandom for wanting to be girlish, not actively seeking to be a warrior like Arya. Sansa is called spoiled and selfish and hated throughout the whole series, and you know what? At the beginning she is. All the Stark children are. They want for nothing, they talk back and they behave as children do; they’ve always had the freedom. Her and her siblings grew up with a huge amount of love in their lives and parents who wanted them to be good and honourable. I think of everyone, Sansa had the farthest to fall. After watching her father die so brutally, then being forced by the prince she had once adored to look at his head on a spike and hear how her brothers will meet the same fate just killed me. The wild, broken look in Sophie Turner’s eyes just. I have so many feelings I can’t accurately express them.

way I view women...all literature. You don’t have...hero....
