Jon y Sam los tqm mis amores

Jonsam will always be hilarious because I get to remember that within literally a few hours of knowing Sam, Jon was threatening to kill people in their sleep if they even looked at him wrong and I just think that is genuinely insane but also fucking incredible like ok damn!!! We get it you think he’s adorable and want to kiss him!! Calm tf down!!! You JUST GOT HERE!!!

Sometimes it's like... did you even watch the episode? In Sam's case he really wasn't given an option- he's a man, has had some training, killed a White Walker before, and therefore absolutely must be out in the battle. If you'd paid attention to Edd's line as Sam shows up into formation, he says, "Oh for fuck's sake, you took your time," implying that Sam was supposed to be there. He wasn't given a choice. If he had, he'd gladly would have been in the crypts- Sam's a self-actualized coward. So yeah, sucks that Edd died while protecting him, but the toxic masculinity of Westerosi society put Sam there, not himself.

I can’t believe that people are still trying to call Sansa useless or cowardly for going to the crypts. When in fact what she was being was unselfish and smart.

Noncombatants being on the battlefield is cute, and all ‘go warrior! You’re so brave!’…. up until the point that you realize that the actual combatants are therefore going to have to ignore their own safety to protect these noncombatants. Especially if these noncombatants are Important People, and the combatants have a duty to see them safe.

The reason that Jorah got killed? Was because Dany, a noncombatant without her dragon, was on the battlefield. Full stop. He literally took the blow that killed him by being in front of her. Had she not been there, his chances of surviving would have exponentially increased. Now obviously she didn’t fall off her dragon on purpose. But still. The point remains.

Sansa realized that she would be putting people in danger if she stayed on the battlefield, and so she put her selfish wishes to be there for her people aside and went down to a place where she thought she would be safer and no one would have to defend her.

And when it became necessary, she was even ready to defend herself, if need be.

So just leave her alone, she’s been through enough.
