Harry the Hair Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Dear god I hope not. Putting aside the fact that killing an innocent child is pure evil, I was also hoping to see some sort of Arryn (Sweetrobin) - Baratheon (Mya) - Stark (Sansa) alliance 2.0 I mean how cute was this scene??? Quote And then they were on the other side, and Mya Stone was laughing and lifting Robert for a hug. "Be careful," Alayne told her. "He can hurt you, flailing. You wouldn't think so, but he can." They found a place for him, a cleft in the rock to keep him out of the cold wind. Alayne tended him until the shaking passed, whilst Mya went back to help the others cross. AFFC - Alayne II To be fair to Sansa she often thinks of Robert's development and well being. I get the impression that she genuinely grows to care for him as the story progresses and there are hints of affection for the boy. If she really wanted him dead I doubt she would have put in so much effort to make him look the part of a respectable lord, nor would she have cared if the boy ate his breakfast or had another shaking fit. If anything, another shaking fit is a great excuse to feed him some more dangerous drugs that no one would reproach her for. Quote He was only a sick little boy who'd loved his mother. "There," Sansa said, "you look a proper lord now." A Feast for Crows - Sansa I ... The boy was unappeased. "I wanted eggs today." "Sweetrobin, there are no eggs, you know that. Please, eat your porridge, it's very nice." She ate a spoonful of her own. A Feast for Crows - Alayne I ... Lemons? Did you find some lemons?" She had promised Sweetrobin lemon cake, and for lemon cake you needed lemons. A Feast for Crows - Alayne II ... "If m'lady can talk him out of bed nice," the knight said, "I won't have to drag him out." We can't have that, she told herself. When Robert was handled roughly he was apt to go into a shaking fit. A Feast for Crows - Alayne II She's actually gotten quite good at coaxing him out of his comfort zone either by inspiring him with his favorite stories or by actively encouraging him and making him feel capable and strong. This doesn't seem like the sort of behavior you would want to encourage in someone that you are hoping to off one day. Yes she had a couple of thoughts about enforcing some discipline during Robert's occasional hissy fits but honestly who wouldn't? No where did I read that she actively wants him dead. And just the way she refers to him in her private thoughts as either Sweetrobin or her little lord sounds endearing and not at all like how I picture a murderer referring to their victim. I think she's just not catching on to the fact of just how dangerous an addiction to sweetsleep or dreamwine is. And these snippets right here make me optimistic for Robert's future and his relationship with his cousin. Spoiler Lord Robert's mother had filled him full of fears, but he always took courage from the tales she read him of Ser Artys Arryn, the Winged Knight of legend, founder of his line. Why not surround him with Winged Knights? She had thought one night, after Sweetrobin had finally drifted off to sleep. His own Kingsguard, to keep him safe and make him brave. ... He does have pretty hair. If the gods are good and he lives long enough to wed, his wife will admire his hair, surely. That much she will love about him. TWOW - Alayne I I think we'll see Sansa take on a more nurturing role to him in later books. To be frank the whole lets put all our money on Harry and murder Robert plot makes little sense to me. It would seem that it is much easier to control a small child than a grown man (or what's considered to be a grown man in ASOIAF). If anything, the marriage to Harry seems like it could be a backup plan of sorts but I'll never buy the notion that this is the master plan that LF has been hatching all along. the trees have eyes and LongRider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashinunder Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Sansa is prophesied to kill Sweetrobin.

The Lord of the Crossing Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Sansa is Littlefinger's apprentice. Sansa is not smart but she can follow instructions. Her own selfish ambitions will do the rest when she kills the little boy. It will have fatal repercussions for her and Littlefinger.

Aline de Gavrillac Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 If or when Sansa kills Robin it will be because she chose to do it. She will if she thinks it might bring Harry closer to her. Harry is mean like Joffrey and that is what Sansa likes. Bowen Marsh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry was rude after not being able to marry the person he wanted, but he apologised afterwards. There is nothing to suggest he enjoys harming others in the way Joffrey does. 9 hours ago, Aline de Gavrillac said: that is what Sansa likes. Aside from being untrue that is just insulting.

Something like that I suppose. I mean, I’m used to the usual idiocy but the nastiness & disgusting nature of some comments are still kind of shocking at times.

What I could see, is SR dying, and then LF gaslighting Sansa that she poisoned him, and only he can protect her. But, Sansa is not, willingly, going to murder a child in cold blood. This wretched element of the fandom has its opposite on Quora, among wills who defend Master Kraznys and the Masters of Slavers Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly recommend everyone stays away. It is full of people dubiously claiming to be CEOs or whatever while spouting their 'special political views' in every question they can find (related or not).

First, Harry and Joffrey are non-comparable. We haven't seen Harry yet in the published books, and the sample chapters aren't canon until they're published because they're likely to change. But we have no reason whatsoever to think he's the violent sadistic tantrum-throwing bully that Joffrey was. Second, false. In the first book, when Sansa was 11 years old, she was inclined to believe in fairy tales and that all princes are charming... as 11-year-olds often do. She saw evidence to the contrary, but being the 11-year-old that she was, she had on her rose-colored glasses. She thought Joffrey would listen to her pleas and offer her father mercy, because she thought Joffrey was something he wasn't. She didn't like Joffrey's mean side because she blinded herself to the fact that he had one. The illusion was shattered instantly when he murdered her father, and there was no liking toward Joffrey whatsoever at that point. Sansa's crush on Joffrey was a mistake, but she overcame it and regrets it, and she was 11.

Even after he had her beaten and stripped in court, threatened to rape her, forced her to look at her father's and septa's heads on spikes, and taunted her about how he would murder her brother? I must have missed the part where she found that attractive.
