It's been a while since the last Sansa fanart, it's time for me to rise from my crypt and make up for it.

Print available here!

actually re:my post about valyrian blood supremacy and stuff. yes i know this discourse is annoying. it is probably the single thing that most pisses me off in this fandom. yes i know i should disengage.

but i swear i CANNOT help but feel annoyed at it. Someone brought up Nettles in the tags and it's like... G-d it infuriates me when someone talks about Nettles as an example of why Valyrian blood supremacy is bullshit and people reply with "she's Daemon's bastard" or "she could be a Valyrian, Valyrian features are recessive" or any variant of that.

It's just. Missing The Point so much? Why would she be written in, the way she is, in The Rogue Prince if not as a precise counterpoint to Rhaenyra and Valyrian traditions and incest? Why would Martin spend so much time focusing on how different and Othered she is in relation to the main Targaryens, and how she tamed Sheepstealer in a different way from everyone else, and how she showed the dragon kindness and fed it mutton (while the original Valyrians were sheepherders) and how she has no known parents if not. To precisely make the point that you don't need to be Valyrian to ride a dragon. That you don't need incest and special blood and whatever to do it.

That these are creatures that you should see and treat with respect, and kindness, and that's the way you tame them.

There's literally no point to Nettles' existence if not as a direct dichotomy to Rhaenyra and the Targaryens; she's strong, fierce, independent, small, brown, poor, dirty, with black hair and a dragon she tamed by making a bond with. She's written into the narrative precisely as a counter to the Targaryen narrative of stunning, brave princes riding their inherited birthright - that's why she fascinates Daemon.

I know it's a bit of a harsh way to say it, but characters in stories are by and large written to serve a narrative purpose; and Nettles is to be everything that proves the aristocracy and nobility of the Targaryens in the Dance wrong.

The queen wore a high-collared black silk gown, with a hundred dark red rubies sewn into her bodice, covering her from neck to bosom. They were cut in the shape of teardrops, as if the queen were weeping blood.

I will never tire of drawing Sansa in pretty dresses <3

(couldn't decide on the embroidery so you are getting both versions)

See how the heir to Riverrun is allowing his smallfolk to come take shelter within his walls. Very edmure, very mindful.
