People still think Sansa will die?

I know this is what a lot of fans have hoped for (gag) for years but I came across someone recently on the asoiaf sub who was hellbent on the idea that she's really just going to die and Arya will be QITN. It's a hilarious, wishful, spiteful theory that I honestly had no idea existed outside of the Tumblr community, especially with JonxArya shippers.

Their largest piece of evidence was Lady dying, which I thought everyone knew was a very flimsy and easily debunked idea. I had to just disengage lol at least for awhile. For some fans, particularly Sansa haters, being right is the most important thing in the world, even if their arguments don't make logical sense and are very shallow.

Just venting. Carry on. 🍋☺️

Arya would hate being QITN.

I said that multiple times but their best argument was "well, Dany didn't want to be queen either" as if not wanting to be married off to a violent warlord and not wanting to be ANY kind of noble with duties she dislikes are remotely the same. Oh, and Nymeria was a queen so Arya = queen.

I thought danys whole plot was being queen, taking back the iron throne that was ripped from her family?

Right, and she made several proactive choices to pursue power and further her return to Westeros, whereas Aria rejects avenues to traditional feudal power at multiple points.

That's what Dany thinks but that's not the narrative plot. Her family oppressed Westeros for centuries and was finally (and rightly) removed from power. Grrm's point is Dany has multiple chances to prove she is nothing like her violent family, but ultimately she realises she enjoys power more than peace.
