[Florian the Fool]

Ah, I remember the days when I had devastating insights at 2am. Trouble was, when I read over what I’d written the next day, it always seemed to be stuff like “The secret lies within the cheese” or “Only the artist listens to the rain and knows what it means” and so I found myself once more unenlightened and benighted.

Kiwi’s point, however, makes more sense. After all, the pawn that survives to the later stages of the battle is promoted to queen (although in some situations, a knight may be more useful).

I’ve never really given a lot of thought to Sansa, and I think the reason for that is that she’s such a passive character, rarely initiating anything (apart from that thing with her dad and Cersei, so I can understand why she’d be reluctant to try again). But now that I do come to think of it, she reminds me a little of the title character in I,Claudius. Everyone thought Claudius was an idiot and of no consequence. He just sat in the background, observing the events that were taking place around him, swaying with the wind whenever it changed direction, and he ended up becoming Emperor.
