“Sophie has a beautiful stillness to her as an actor that’s incredibly rare. From the start as a very young girl she had such discipline. One minute she could be dancing and singing a musical number and the instant they are camera ready she can flip the switch and dig so deep emotionally. That’s a gift.”

JUST AN INTERESTING THOUGHT

Of ASoIaF & GRRM

Okay so, remember how I’ve told you countless of times how I believe Sanrion will happen in the books?

Yeah well I’ll stress it again.

I am still working on very long posts regarding Tyrion, Sansa and their relationship from the books, so this post will be a short one.

Well, all of us Sanrion fans were so disappointed that after tons of interactions and development and cute moments, Sansa and Tyrion were never given a closure of their relationship on screen.

That’s when I realized something.

Most of the heartwarming scenes between the two characters happened during season 3 and the first two episodes of season 4. A time where GRRM was still involved in the production of the show.

GRRM himself wrote the scene at Joffrey’s wedding where Sansa hands him the cup, an event which wasn’t in the books. And remember when Tyrion put his hand over Sansa’s during the dwarf show? Well, he did that too. Since season 2 (counting the deleted scenes) we have been shown with encounters between both characters that leave us thinking about the strength of their bond, even before marrying.

Although it’s true that the portrayal of Sanrion is different in the novels and show, I happen to find a reason for this.

Most of the Sanrion moments in the books are within the thoughts of the characters. But you can’t portray thoughts on tv. So our man GRRM took the time to include additional scenes in order to make the audience empathize with that relationship in order to use it in the future. His plans, of course, failed as when he left the show d&d changed stuff.

But my point is, if GRRM took the time to do this is because he had mapped out something important between the two in the long future.

Think about it, they were the married couple to get more screen time than any other (I think that’s almost 100% true I’ll have to check) and the scenes that differ from the books (such as the garden walk, the conversation between Sansa and Margaery about Tyrion, the cup…) Show strong development and evolution and even Foreshadowing of their relationship. All of these scenes took valuable screen time, GRRM does not waste time on things that have no value.

And this is my favorite part! Sansa while being taken to the Vale, ever since that moment in A Storm of Swords has thought a lot about Tyrion.

George is not letting us forget about their relationship. In fact, he’s showing us how Sansa has grown affection for Tyrion over the distance.

His sample Alayne (Sansa) chapter from Winds of Winter show this. I won’t include all the extracts rn because I’ll analyze them in a later post. But check out this one.

The Alayne chapter ends with a strong foreshadowing indicating that Sansa will find another Man. (In this scene she’s talking with a character they want her to marry to. Notice that previously in this chapter she thinks “no man can wed me so long as my dwarf husband lives somewhere in this world” but she doesn’t say it as something bad, she thinks of it as a shield protecting her to being married to another).

But if you ask me… The only suitable match I can think of would be with Tyrion.

And this I say not only as a Sanrion fan, but as a logical reader who is considering all the options on the table taking into account the foreshadowing that has been established between them before.

I just feel it in my bones, I truly believe they’ll be canon in A Song of Ice and Fire…

LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS!

D&D: We kind of forgot Sansa and Tyrion never actually got their marriage annulled so Tyrion is technically King in the North

If through no fault of his own the hero is crushed by a bulldozer in Act II, we are not impressed. Even though life is often like this—the absconding cashier on his way to Nicaragua is killed in a collision at the airport, the prominent statesman dies of a stroke in the midst of the negotiations he has spent years to bring about, the young lovers are drowned in a boating accident the day before their marriage—such events, the warp and woof of everyday life, seem irrelevant, meaningless. They are crude, undigested, unpurged bits of reality—to draw a metaphor from the late J. Edgar Hoover, they are “raw files.” But it is the function of great art to purge and give meaning to human suffering, and so we expect that if the hero is indeed crushed by a bulldozer in Act II there will be some reason for it, and not just some reason but a good one, one which makes sense in terms of the hero’s personality and action. In fact, we expect to be shown that he is in some way responsible for what happens to him.
