I started watching Game of Thrones straight after the first episode of the first ever season aired, if only out of a lack of shows to watch at the time and a mild interest in the fantasy genre. I vividly remember being thoroughly confused after that first hour and resorting to drawing up a family tree on paper for myself to remember all the names and who was who. Once I'd established the Lannisters from the Starks, it was relatively easier to follow and I found myself hooked. I recall my dad asking me what was so good about this show that I'd become glued to the screen 24/7 and I replied with this:

Despite being nowhere near as invested in the GoT fandom as you are, I too have been become increasingly wary of the plot...especially that of the Sansa-Littlefinger duo. Upon her dying her hair black signifying a new era ...I expected either a sudden character development or at least a bold act that supported her bold hair change. Ultimately it didn't lead to anything other than her being once again subjugated by the spawn of satan Ramsey. The Sansa-Littlefinger dynamic, although toxic, had so much potential and I'm so crestfallen with how it was wasted with the whole Ramsey Bolton plot and then Littlefinger's death. He was a villain who deserved a demise but not in the way that it happened.

I read this when you first posted it but didn't have time to leave a comment! First of all, these pictures and stunning and your outfit is absolutely gorgeous! As for GoT, I read the books after watching season 1. I love the books, I love the show but I can't deny that is has had some major issues in terms of writing , season 5 especially was quite weak & featured a lot of out of character moments.I ended up crying after the Sansa & Ramsey wedding episode. Rape is often used as a plot device to further a male characters storyline (in the case, Theon). All it did was add to Sansa's horrific ordeal, and it was used as a plot device for her to then seek revenge/ escape / reclaim winterfell. In that sense, it's like Sansa wouldn't have achieved anything unless that had happened to her, which, pardon my French, is utter bullshit. I completely agree with you say as to why you fell in love with her in books. She one of the very few female characters that finds strength in her femininity. I love her and will continue watching the show because Sophie does such an incredible job, however I do look forward to seeing book Sansa again. As for the Little finger part, Aidan did an incredible job throughout the entire series and I must admit it will be strange without him!
