It’s hilarious how badly joff and cersei fumble sansa. like this is the same girl that watched cersei order the death of her direwolf and still convinced herself the queen was good and gentle she would have bent herself over backwards justifying their actions during the wotfk if they remained even remotely nice to her. my girl has a phd in dissociation and probably could have continued deluding herself for another couple years but nooooooo they just had to decapitate her father in front of her

sansa stark , novel & headcanon based - timeline / era flexible for interactions . i personally did not watch past sansa's marriage to r*msey b*lton on the show , and have no interest in any television based storylines. generally speaking, i will always find a work around to settle sansa into nearly any fantasy / historical / medieval based verse as is desired; for the sake of brevity, i will try to list them out below as they are created & thought of ! faceclaim is hannah dodd for most things - any aged up interactions will have a different face, though i am not yet settled on who it'll be.
