Princess Sophie is nhf Sansa hate and is also really embarrassed about that rap.
'Game of Thrones' Season 3 premiere: Sophie Turner has a message for Sansa haters
By TERRI SCHWARTZ
Sansa Stark might not be the fan-favorite "Game of Thrones" character, but Sophie Turner doesn't mind. She has a message to the Sansa haters in the world, because she can see her character's inner warrior.
"Haters to the left, please," Turner told Zap2it on the "Game of Thrones" Season 3 red carpet. "I think Sansa's an awesome character, and I think haters should step aside because she is gonna kill you... I don't know if that's going to happen."
So what does she see happening to Sansa by the end of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series? Something that definitely hasn't happened in the books or HBO show, that's for sure.
"She's going to go totally Arya, like bada** on you, and she's going to kick some a**," Turner predicted. "Maybe. We'll talk to [author] George [R.R. Martin]. She might just become a karate, ninja kind of girl. I wouldn't put it past George. Anything can happen in this world."
With the reveal at the end of Season 2 that King Joffrey, who had previously been engaged to and torturing Sansa at King's Landing, would now be marrying Natalie Dormer's Margaery Tyrell, it remains to be seen if Sansa will get a bit of a letup in Season 3. Turner teased that her character will become more involved in the game of thrones in Westeros in 2013.
"She forms alliances this season, and she's got Shae as a really close friend and she might meet some new people who she maybe becomes friends with, but we'll see," she said. "She definitely has trust issues after the death of Ned so she's not going to be trusting anyone too quickly, but maybe. We'll see."
Readers of the George R.R. Martin books know that Turner will have some screen time with Peter Dinklage, and Turner talked about working with her costar. "Peter is lovely to work with. He is like an inspiration," she said. "It's just a pleasure to be in a room with him, and then to act with him and he's so lovely and so funny as well. He's great, yeah."
As for that opening credits rap (below) that Turner did with Maisie Williams (Arya) and Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran), she is still mortified that the video has seen the light of day.
"I'm so embarrassed. I'm so embarrassed. I apologize to everyone who had to witness that," she said. "We rapped, and then Maisie and I were in a hotel room crying over how embarrassed we are. It's ridiculous."
So what are they going to do for the Season 3 DVD? "I'm so embarrassed, I'm just not going to do it again," Turner admitted. "I'm just going to be like a normal [person], like Lena [Headey] is, like, 'Hi, I'm Sophie Turner, I play Sansa.' Like, the normal instead of embarrassing myself. It's not as much fun, but it's not embarrassing either."

PERFECT CHARACTER
IN A PERFECT WORLD.
I will be so upset if it doesn't end that way.
If anything the two of them are a good example of the many ways in which female characters can be strong.
i honestly think a lot of those arya 'fans' dont get her character at all tbh.
she doesn't swing a sword around to look cool, she does it to survive. she uses her particular skillset to survive just as sansa uses her own skills to survive (and since becoming littlefinger's protege, to get ahead of the game as well).
arya and sansa's narratives parallel each other too much for someone to hate one and love the other imltho
I mean, I think people are allowed to have their preferences, but to out and out hate one of them while loving the other is missing the point like whoa.
Sansa!hate is weird and confusing to me. It reminds of the feminists who think women who want to be homemakers and shame them for it and say they're bad women who are harming the movement or whatever. It's one thing to not like her, but the level of hatred she gets for not being like Arya is NAGL. It's like people forget there are 1000s of ways of being a strong woman and using your brain is just as crucial as using a sword.
I legit can't think of any other main/supporting characters who would still be alive if they were in her position.
considering a lot of the readers/viewers of the series would be just as useless with a sword as her and also like to spend their time thinking about stories and the 'rules' of the narratives, it's bizarre that so many of those same fans hate her for just that.
I legit can't think of any other main/supporting characters who would still be alive if they were in her position.
considering her father, a middle-aged man experienced in matters of state, couldnt survive as long as she did among the lannisters goes to show how much quicker she learned the game. and she's only in her early teens!
i am just nhf sansa hate
This notion is almost as infuriating as the idea that feminism= boys versus girls.
I love how Margaery shipped her with Willas so hard lol.
and i love that sophie is the number 1 sansa fan. it warms my cold shrivelled heart.
nothing but love for her and sansa.
Their friendship is so adorable.
I hope they play bffs/sisters in everything now. Lol.
SRY FOR GOING SEMI OT BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW MAISIE LOVES JOE KTHXBYE
bless
(this vitriol is not directed at Maisie obvs)
