Why do you ship Sansa with littlefinger- it’s gross and disturbing.
So, I've let this sit in my inbox for a little while and debating if I was going to answer it.
First things first, find me a ship in the ASOIAF universe that isn't disturbing in some way. Hell, even Ned and Catelyn (who had probably the healthiest relationship in the books/show) was somewhat toxic- Ned either cheating on his pregnant wife and having Jon or lying about who Jon was. No matter what ship it is within GoT- its going to be disturbing in some way.
Second, all of my ships involve things that I would NEVER condone or enjoy in real life. If I met Petyr Baelish in real life, I'd run like mother fucking hell.
So, to answer your questions, all of my ships always have two things in common.
1) it's an older guy who falls for a somewhat naive woman with impeccable character growth.
2) there is some sort of power imbalance that will eventually even itself out- most likely with the female character growth.
But let's talk about Petyr and Sansa specifically. Petyr Baelish is one of my favorite characters due to his complexity. He has a tragic villain origin story that molds him into this man who is able to pull strings like a master puppeteer. He is not a good person by any stretch of the imagination and has little redeemable qualities. However, he is brilliantly smart and possibly one of the best players in the game, that is undeniable.
But he has a weakness and that is Sansa.
Sansa is a naive girl who believes the world to be a wholly good place. That is stripped away from her in a brutal fashion and we see her learning to play the game in order to survive it, and she is good at it. She learns to hold her emotions in check, not let her true feelings be known to the court at large and is far smarter than anyone gives her credit for. She is one of the characters I'm excited to see the most of in the coming books- because she will be badass. Not only that, but Sansa is not as good and innocent as people think she is.
With their dynamic, it is gross, grooming and very inappropriate. I get that. However, it has this power imbalance that you can see shifting. Petyr, who holds all the cards is loosing them to this girl who has become his weakness and will be his downfall. He sees her as everything he never had and always wanted. Sansa, who is going to grow into this fantastic female character, is going to be the end of Petyr Baelish and it is a poetic end to a character who is so broken, damaged and evil.
With fanfic, we have an ability to really play with this dynamic. Most of the time, Sansa is aged up and the gap is smaller between the two. But it's this dynamic of power imbalance rightening itself and allow two characters to grow and change with one another. Sometimes it ends in tragedy while other times it does not. There is endless possibilities that this pairing allows (as do any other ships) but it comes back to basically this:
A powerful man falling for someone who becomes his downfall, and would most likely do anything for. A woman learning about herself and the world around her with the guidance of her partner; until she is able to step out on her own.
Is this ship for everyone?
No. Absolutely not.
Do I see why it is problematic?
Yes. I do.
But do I love it anyway even if the canon material is gross and disturbing?
Fuck yes I do.
Plus, I have a weird love of seeing Sansa go dark and just get blood on her hands but that is totally a me thing.

So I've made a couple of wooden handles out of a mixture of needing handles for things and wanting a hobby and I have been doing simple stuff with metal; grinding things into blades, sharpening machetes and axes, re-tipping knives for a while now. I'm going to try to get some wood working hand tools together (Imma buy what I can at pawn shops and the like and what I can't find, can't afford or both I'm going to make. At some point I'll post a picture of some handles I've made. Please note I am a beginner at this and I am not using proper tools so they are crude at best. Please do not be overly critical about my handy work. I plan to continue making handles and eventually work my way up to carving things out of wood and carving designs into wood.
