I do agree. And.. HBO really may go the Jon/Sansa route in the end (last novel in GRRMs original outline was titled 'A Time for Wolves'). But Sansa/Arya? I think just having them make some sort of peace between each other is about as far as that would get. If Sansa craves a 'true knight', she has Brienne. If she wants a 'best friend with benefits', she has Margaery.
Scruffy, predatory Assassin!Arya shall only be tamed by Dany. It is known.
...Sophie does have guts, though. I really do give her that.
I do ship her with Margaery, of course, that much is obvious. And before this season, I def also shipped her with Brienne.... until a certain redhaired wildling came into the picture... now I want giant redhaired children
I have a feeling Sophie's trolling us xD If she's serious *does the famous Stark Shrug* eh
I get it; his books were packed enough.. but damn. Piecing together some of the epic stuff across the Narrow Sea literally made me stop caring about Westeros at all. And, won't lie - got me seriously thinking about Original Fiction after I'd come up with things to fill in the gaps...
oh starky, you open a can of worms with this one, I have a lot to say about it. But then again, I'd really rather not xD (it's not becoming of an Admin, tbh).

Sorry, Jaime. Giant redheaded children have won over Revan... and most of da Interwebz! XD (sidenote - love the reveal that Duncan the Tall is Brienne's ancestor, too!)

...you can Say the Words, good General. We will stil love you. And no one can ever take away your Admin powers
Oh I disagree, I will step down as Admin if everyone wants me to! xD No good comes from using your powers for eeevil dictatorship~ I prefer to remain as your humble protector and servant
That said. Oh. GRRM. What a lovely world it is out there. Places outside of the British Isles.
It's just that Essos has SO much potential trapped inside. We don't even bloody know MUCH about Yi Ti xD Honest to betsy, I'm getting impatient that Issa and I need to do our research, and get comfy writing about this world, because you're right. There's just so many blanks GRRM left out that could be filled with... markets with open skies, smelling of spices, incense smoke trailing behind you when you pass a merchant's dusty store selling a variety of beautifully decorated bakhoor next to a selection of oudh. Stringed instruments, on painted people's laps, being plucked with beautiful chords filling a burgundy-cushioned tent around a crackling bonfire.
People shouting their produce, the smell of fresh fish and vegetables by the sea. Robes with bright colors and gold rings on their fingers.
I dunno! It makes me want to write Arya travelling around Essos, like a travel log or something...
Issa you must be southern since your lamenting about bbq. Me, if theres one thing I miss about living at my Dad's its the ability to grill myself a steak at 1am.
Actually, I'm a northman myself xD I'm just visiting a little bit to the south of where I usually reside. And now that it's morning, I think it's time to tuck into my leftovers....
To be fair. I slapped Dany's face over Yen's and tried to blend it, and just made the hair white and the eyes more purple. But ya. there we go
It did the job well enough, as you may have guessed...
Also, I'm secretly headcanoning Ciri as Dany/Arya's magical, impossible lovechild. 'Cause she has Targ looks.. and Arya's defiant, yet noble temperament. And skills. And scars.

So totally ignoring that Ciri is the daughter of whats his face and a princess?
Which means that Wild Hunt is Dany and Arya trying to find their daughter who is being chased by the wild hunt?
And after everything is said and done, they settle down at Arya's vineyard?
...well now I know how the Blood and Wine expansion ends XD And yes, totally ignoring Ciri is daughter of whoiswhat and soisso.
Meaning Wild Hunt is Dany and Arya trying to find Their daughter who is being chased by the Wild Hunt.
And after everything is said and done, they settle down at Arya's vineyard (bequeathed to them by loving Aunt Lyanna ala 'The Long Lost Wolf' chapter of Between the Lines)
Actually. I'm pretty sure you only get the ending where yen shows up if you romance her and you've finished the main quest. which I havent finished the main quest.
And the vineyard is actually given to the witcher by the dutchesss.
HOWEVER you can go totally AU, and say that Arya is a different witcher, not The white wolf.
So we dont fuck with witcher canon.
However, so like, Arya ended up running away because her family was betrayed, same as same. But during the course of her adventures, she ends up the captive of someone, who ends up saved by a witcher, who ends up involking the right of surprise. So when her capture returns home, (perhaps Arya had tricked him hoping he'd die, but the witcher saved him) she is the first thing her capture sees. And maybe everyone still thinks shes a boy. So she gets taken by the witcher, and trained to be a witcher, and its only after years and years of training, do anyone realize "oh shit, this boy isnt a boy at all" and the head witcher is just liek "fuck it, no need to waste all that training"
Thus how Arya as a girl becomes a witcher.
As far as witcher Canon goes, obviously, Arya can deal with a lot of the same canon bs, because the events are big, and shit, but her own story and shit.
... I just sometimes headcanon weird shit that I don't always think too deeply about LOL XD Because in my mind, it's like.. 'Fuck Canon. Just look at Ciri. Watch her savin' dem people, with those silver Targ locks, pulled back in the classic 'Ned Stark' style, which even Arya has now adopted ala HBO preview stills...'
I s'pose it's kinda like how some people headcanon Lexa from The 100 as Dany and Drogo's daughter.. Even though the baby was apparently a boy, and wasn't even, ya know, born...
Welcome~ This forum is a place for all Dany x Arya shippers to meet up and discuss the world, the lore, and the wonderful characters who make this ship! Have fun, everyone!
