how does one read Arya's story about being a weird little girl in a medieval fantasy setting and not fitting in gender conformity of the times and thinking actually she wants to be all these things not because of complex feelings of girlhood and thinking she's not a lady if she's not good at these things and that she actually admires powerful women who are free of specific expectations and has the power to do what she wants , no its to grow up as a model and beat a made up beef of who's the prettiest child ever and getting things that she specifically doesnt want to be that’s spelled out in the first book of the series y’all obsess about .

how does one read sansa's story about being exploited, preyed upon,molested and groomed specifically because she fits the criteria of being a #Lady in a world that sees girls and women as bargaining chips and tools for politics and take out that actually no she needs to be punished for being “beautiful” and having ideals that are expected of her time period, screw her agency she’s gotta be a housewife or evil at the end with idealism beaten out of her cause no one understands foils for some reason

how does one read BRIENNE'S story about how unfair the world is to women and girls who dont fit beauty standards all the complexity that comes with that and their relationship to womanhood , how because she can’t be a traditional lady she’s become the pinnacle of knightly good that she specifically admires and take away that "actually ugly means bad and beauty means good, i dont get the themes of beauty with the lannisters also"

big fan of liars. big fan of characters whose entire existence is a facade. love it when everything's stripped away from them and the lie is the only thing left of their identity. love it when the lines between an act and the truth are blurring. are they even them without the lie? the lie doesn't become the truth per se, but it's now such an intricate part of them it might as well be.
