@goodnightgoodnight asked: Stannis, Sansa, and Sandor
STANNIS
First impression: okay so the first chapter of A Clash Of Kings was the first part of ASOIAF that I read, it was a friend’s copy that she was reading and I picked it up when she didn’t have it and I just got sucked into it…the prologue with Cressen and Mel and Davos and the relationship between the Baratheon brothers and STANNIS everything about Stannis as a character and the whole situation was incredibly compelling to me. So I finished that chapter which was like a whole saga in of itself and then my friend wanted her book back and about a year later I started watching the show and then I read the books and the rest is history.
Impression now: my grumpy and melancholic son and still the best king Westeros has available
Favorite moment: honestly like any moment when he shows emotional vulnerability I instantly start crying…when he’s angsting over Renly giving him a peach…
Idea for a story: any Stannis + Shireen interaction
Unpopular opinion: Stannis is the best option for king and a deserving person and deeply sympathetic character
Favorite relationship: Stannis and his brothers or Stannis and Davos depending on what sort of pain I’m looking for…bittersweet heavy on the bitter or the sweet
Favorite headcanon: autistic Stannis ftw (and autistic Shireen!!)
SANSA
First impression: she’s so pretty lmao…and then instantly feeling for her as a Vulnerable And Traumatized Girl
Impression now: my love…the most wonderful…also honestly if I had to place a bet she’s the character I’d bet money on surviving the series I just KNOW thematically and spiritually that she will
Favorite moment: when she comforts the other women during the siege of Kings’ Landing honestly like even though she’s so tired and scared she PULLS IT TOGETHER TO HELP EVERYONE ELSE SHE IS TRULY THE BEST…an icon
Idea for a story: Sansa and Sandor and Jaime and Brienne all interacting…my faves…and so much potential
Unpopular opinion: Sansa is wonderful and deserves all the good things
Favorite relationship: hehe SanSan
Favorite headcanon: Sansa is also bi tbh
SANDOR
First impression: I honestly didn’t think much of him until his Horrible Childhood Trauma Backstory and his relationship with Sansa started to develop and then I mcfreaking lost it
Impression now: my large and emotional son, he’s trying his best
Favorite moment: when he tells Sansa about what Gregor did to him and he opens up to her and she shows compassion and love to him even though he scared her previously…I die one thousand times…also on a side note FUCK the show for giving Sandor’s Traumatic Background Reveal to Littlefinger it cheapened it SO much WHY would y’all not let him tell his own story it was such a powerful moment between him and Sansa
Idea for a story: anything with teenage immediately post-rebellion Jaime and Sandor interacting
Unpopular opinion: I think it’s kind of disrespectful for people (in the fandom) to call him “The Hound” all the time like…it’s not as bad as when people call Tyrion the Imp but it’s still kind of a pet peeve…it’s like, totally disregarding the impact of his story and that he has a name and isn’t an animal (even though he loves animals). Also I feel like people give him a lot of shit for saying that Bran would be better off dead after his accident and I think that’s coming from internalized ableism and self-loathing more than anything, like people hold him and Jaime almost equally accountable for saying that and their context is completely different.
Favorite relationship: Take A Wild Guess
Favorite headcanon: Sandor has never been kissed
