little brain: sansa’s desire for a true knight can eventually be fulfilled romatically by [insert creepy old man]/her literal brother/a random male character shes never interacted with/any man at all

bigger brain: sansa’s desire for a true knight is just a narrative tool grrm uses to show us the readers that there is no such thing as a ‘true knight’, that this idea of a paragon of virtue and chivalry is inherently at odds with the violent reality of knighthood, and that rather than a fairy tale damsel in distress sansa stark represents a gothic heroine who must save herself from would-be heroes that really only wish to take advantage of her

biggest brain, glowing and connected to the entire universe: sansas a fuckin lesbian and brienne is her true knight who loves her
