#sansa and helaena are going to run this whole town

[reginarubie]

I'm reading old asks (to catch up on topics that were already brought up) and I have to agree with the anon who brought up Larys Strong. Sansa x Larys interactions are going to be so fun to read. Battle of wits is on! But besides Larys (and Aemond obviously), I'm very excited to see how Sansa is going to get along with Helaena.

I'd be so funny if Sansa is going to crack the code that Helaena has a gift of prophecy. It would make sense that she would be the one to find out, considering that she's in a completely different environment and would be extra sensitive to what people say or do. She'd probably think to herself: 'Guys, this girl is spitting truth lyrics at y'all left and right and you don't even listen to her.' *shakes her head*

With that being said, I don't see Sansa perceiving Helaena as an 'odd' individual. I mean heck, she saw the Army of the Dead, the Night King, her half-brother/cousin came back to life, her younger sister is an assassin, her younger brother is the Three Eyed Raven/warg, etc. I think it's safe to say that she's pretty immune to strangeness.

Not only Sansa is in a completely different environment so she's gonna be more alert, she also knows how shit is going to go down (our little history nerd) at least in the way history recounts so I wouldn't be surprised if she, who has the fucking Three Eyed Raven as brother would be the first one to understand that Helaena is not only a dragon rider but also had prophetic visions or interpretation of the world around her.

If anything, after she gets over the whole she's a Targaryen queen train of thought, she's going to remember Helaena is a queen who lost virtually everything, children included and she's going to emphasize with her for sure, especially since Helaena did not manage to escape the fate Sansa escaped (marrying a blond prince who is not the exact represetantion of what a prince and king should be and suffering for it) and probably be like “Mine. Mine now. You never deserved her anyway” (wolves be like that at times, look at Arya with Hot Pie and Gendry or Jon with Samwell) especially because gal saw the Others, she saw walking deads, she knows her sister steals faces and kills people and her brother resurrected. What oddity, Helaena in her fragility and oddness is gonna be like a breath of fresh air for her.

So, yeah I think you are totally right, it'd be so in character of Sansa to just crack Helaena's code, also gal has a record for breaking traditions and generation trauma as well as getting somehow everyone to expose their evil plan and secrets before her so that she can later use it to her advantage if needed.

For sure it's going to be interesting!
