In the game of thrones, even the humblest pieces can have wills of their own.
“there are no men like me. there’s only me.”
(happy birthday, suzy!)
‘When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.’ Sansa’s not dead, so she must be winning. God knows I’ll raise a glass to that, and wait patiently for the courteous and well-dressed hellfire she will eventually rain down upon all those who have wronged her.
E.M. Freeburg, Femslash Friday: A Lady and Her Knight (via frankensttark)
#this is literally how i feel about the entire series #i want it to end with sansa smiling demurely over the ashes before daintily lifting her hem and stepping over the remains of her enemies #i want her to have to bite her lip when they perish #because it is uncharitable to laugh and sansa is nothing if not a lady #but she cant help it and she cackles as they beg for mercy #then she sits in her solar and does some exquisite needlepoint and lives happily ever after

In a room sit three great men, a king, a priest, and a rich man with his gold. Between them stands a sellsword, a little man of common birth and no great mind. Each of the great ones bids him slay the other two. ‘Do it,’ says the king, ‘for I am your lawful ruler.’ ‘Do it,’ says the priest, ‘for I command you in the names of the Gods.’ ‘Do it,’ says the rich man, ‘and all this gold shall be yours.’ So tell me—who lives and who dies? Power resides where men believe it resides.
“Bronn was no knight, that was true. Bronn was a battle-hardened killer.”

I love the Game of Thrones books. I’ve only watched the first season of the series, so this isn’t supposed to be true to that or anything, just a loose painting of how I’d like to portray Ygritte.
I’ve started to also post some work in progress type things on my twitter, this image has a couple iterations. So if you’re interested, I’ll hopefully post more!
