She's finally finished!!! QITN Sansa Stark from my fic 'Winter's Child'. PLEASE full view- there are so many details on this thing. I drew all the patterns by hand, drew SO much ice, and spent like, three whole days designing the throne.
Is she too detailed? Probably. But I was having fun drawing 8 million different kinds of ice/frost and learning how to use procreate. Whether Sansa painstakingly embroiders ice motifs on her clothing or just magics up frost to decorate her sleeves in painstaking detail is up to interpretation. She's SUPER ice queen here to show the northern lords and any pesky invaders that she's every inch a Stark and that she Means Business.
Bonus: Throne Details! They get kind of covered up by the frost and her robes, but I spent so much time designing her throne and I'm wildly happy with how it came out, so have some close-ups!

The top part I wanted to have the wolves on either side fading into weirwood leaves and vines (which was harder than it sounds), and her armrests have a stylized weirwood tree carved into them. There was going to be a tiny raven sitting on the tree in that space between branches, but I've gotta sleep at some point, tbh. Took forever, but was totally worth it- I love how both designs came out, and I think her throne is my favorite thing about the entire drawing.

Just saw GRRM's old drafts for AFFC and Sansa's arc in the book before some of her chapters were pushed to TWOW was supposed to be about her "resolve to be Sansa Stark (after her stint as Alayne in the Vale and after receiving some news from White Harbour) and take the North"

"Sansa was a lady at three, always courteous and eager to please. She loved nothing so we'll as tales of knightly valor. Men would say she had my look but she will grow into a woman far more beautiful than I ever was, you can see that." - Caitlyn Stark

The key to the North.
It’s your claim they want to marry.
Winterfell’s daughter.
The blood of Winterfell.
Rebuilding Winterfell out of snow.
These are 👆🏽all foreshadowing for a Queen in the North. None of them are about Arya.

"The dwarf's wife did the murder with him," swore an archer in Lord Rowan's livery. "Afterward, she vanished from the hall in a puff of brimstone, and a ghostly direwolf was seen prowling the Red Keep, blood dripping from his jaws."
He dreamt he was back in Winterfell, [...] The crypts were growing darker. A light has gone out somewhere. "Ygritte?" he whispered. "Forgive me. Please." But it was only a direwolf, grey and ghastly, spotted with blood, his golden eyes shining sadly through the dark . . .
There was ice underfoot, and broken stones just waiting to turn an ankle, and the wind was howling fiercely. It sounds like a wolf, thought Sansa. A ghost wolf, big as mountains.
What the fuck is going on

Honestly, best part about watching HotD was that it gave me a free blocklist to weed out any jonsas (because ridiculous number of the green stans seem to be jonsas!) I might've missed the first time around with GoT. But what's absolutely baffling is how many claim to be feminists. I'll go to their blog to block them and their bio will be something like "She/her, feminist" and it's just like... what kind of mental acrobatics do you have to be doing to believe that??
Let's see, shall we? Just off the top of my head, jonsas (and fairly often Sansa's more... "special" stans) like to
Put down Dany and Arya for not being "feminine enough" (i.e. their ideal femininity, which ig means women can't be anything else). As if expecting women to conform to a standard of what's "feminine enough" isn't part of the problem :/
Constantly claim Sansa can't be held accountable for her mistakes because she's a child, but then regularly claim another child is unforgivable for her mistakes and should die for it
Imply (and sometimes even say) that Dany shouldn't be breaking the wheel. You mean the patriarchy? You, an alleged feminist, don't think the patriarchal system ASoIaF has is awful and dumb??
Suggest that Jon is actually going to politically manipulate Dany by pretending to love her but really he's doing it for Sansa. That is... disgusting on more levels than I could count, but I'll simplify it to "wanting to see an ending where a woman is manipulated sexually and then murdered by her male lover when she's no longer useful is gross and you should feel gross" because apparently they can't read at more than a 2nd grade level
Ignore the fact that this already-misogynistic plotline would be, in their dreams, so the man can get together with their favorite woman instead. Because putting down a woman like a dog in favor of another woman isn't bad, apparently
Absolutely hate the fact that Dany is a subversion of the prophecied hero trope because she's the "Princess who was promised". This would be a wonderful twist on the trope instead of the sexist "but actually it was the man all along!" one, which has been done to death already
Crack jokes about Dany being infertile and how that would "make Sansa a better wife for Jon, bc she can give him an heir". Ah yes, implying it's a woman's duty and purpose to have kids and that anyone who can't is broken. Wonderful example of feminist rhetoric, you guys
And this very much extends to the green stans too! Little wonder so many stansas seem to love Alicent, since they're both "women who have to suffer through the patriarchy". Let's see what our precious, definitely-feminist Alicent has done, shall we?
The big one: actively trying to prevent a woman from rising to the Throne so she can be replaced by her son, a man
The son, I should add, being utterly unfit to rule and she knows it (unless she's absolutely fucking stupid, there's no way she could not know Aegon would be a bad king). I mean, he assaulted serving staff, disappears to the slums to watch his bastards fight to the death, and when he was supposed to be king he fled. Rulership material indeed :/ But Alicent seems to think a penis makes him suited to rule despite all that
Straight-up admits that Viserys was less suited to rule than Rhaenys on account of temperament... but then in the next breath ask Rhaenys to help her uphold the male succession that fucked her over, in favor of a man even less suitable for kingship than Viserys was
And on the note of the serving girl... silencing rape victims is not feminist. At all. I recognize HotD's societal standards are different, but idk, they sure like to apply modern standards like war crimes to Dany and Rhaenyra so I think I'll do the same here
Resents Rhaenyra for finding happiness in her own relationships. Look, what happened to her was awful and I felt bad for her, but once she turned around and started putting other women down for not suffering like she did, instead of trying to see the system that caused her suffering ended... that's where she went wrong. (Also I feel like reminding everyone Laenor was gay. Did greens want Nyra to maritally rape her husband?? How dare a woman have an enjoyable sex life)
Book Alicent legitimately hoped that "mayhaps the whore will die in childbirth" because that's absolutely a feminist girlboss thing to say
Look, I have no problem with people liking or even defending either character for some of their actions. Even I'd admit the Greens are fun to watch despite being in the wrong, and that Sansa's bullying means her arc has potential for character growth towards realizing her ideal femininity is wrong. But when their stans start attacking other women for not accepting and conforming to the system? That's why I usually see urls/lots of posts about these characters as a red flag
If you're one of these people and I somehow haven't already blocked you? Please go outside and work on the internalized misogyny a bit before you claim to be feminist

who would you have preferred Brienne to be with? ALSO I AM A 100% JAMIE HATER FUCK JAMIE
ummmm honestly idk. there’s some potential with her and sansa (the whole true knight thing the both of them have going) but other than that i don’t really see romance as a part of brienne’s story.
devotion? love? absolutely. i just don’t think romance is the way “brienne the beauty” is going to be subverted. i think it would be lovely if brienne was like the commander of sansa’s queensguard and that mirroring her position with renly. i think that would be a sufficient ending for that whole storyline of hers.

Winter's Child QITN Sansa again! (As a WIP, of course)
The fun part about procreate is that I can go absolutely fucking hog wild with insane details the way my little tacky heart desires and then just... vanish the layer. Anyways, I'm wildly happy with how the icicles turned out, but have yet to scratch the surface of the overly detailed design possibilities. I learned how to make brushes in procreate and made a bead brush so that I could play around with different jewelry/adornment stuff quickly and it has gotten SPECTACULARLY out of hand. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the different designs I've played with so far!
Honestly, I haven't had this much fun in ages.

What if Bran declares Rickon as his heir (and continue the line through this children etc) and that’s why Sansa is the qitn and not the regent, with Arya as her heir (till she has children)? Like, does that work?

All this talk of kings and queens these days has me thinking...
As much as I love Jonsa (I will go DOWN with this ship!), I’m so, so glad we got to see Sansa as the Queen in the North.  If this is where we’re at when the books end, with or without Jon at her side, I will be a happy woman. 
It goes without saying that a Jonsa ending would put me over the moon.

For those who say Sansa was the same as Dany (or worse than Dany), have a looksie here:
youtube
Man is held by the guards while Ilyn Payne approaches him to slit his throat, and the man is screaming out "no". He is then let go and staggers until he falls to the ground bleeding out.
7x07 - Littlefinger's execution:
youtube
Sansa: "It's not what I want, it's what honor demands."
Littlefinger: "Give me a chance to defend myself. I deserve that."
Sansa: *sits back in her chair & allows him to*
While Littlefinger is going to be executed and he is not allowed to escape (by the door being shut), Sansa does allow him to speak for himself. She is not the one who tells him that he won't be escorted by the KotV back to the Eyrie. And Littlefinger is not held down; Arya simply walks up to him and cuts his throat. While he's on his knees, begging in his own way, he put himself there. Sansa did not have him put there.
8x06 - unarmed Lannister soldiers:
youtube
Grey Worm is acting on Dany's orders.
Davos: "How much more defeated do you want them to be?"
GW: "They are breathing." "I obey my queen's commands, not yours."
Jon: "And what are the Queen's commands?"
GW: "Kill all who follow Cersei Lannister."
See the difference?
