Game of Thrones Abridged #68: Sansa VI, AGOT

[@lauradonaghyomalley2033]

Henry VIII beheaded two wives who were accused of cheating on him (and thus potentially conspiring to pass off any bastards as heir to the throne.) 1st marriage: lasted 24 years. Henry had it annulled, unconvinced his 47-year-old wife could "give" him a son 3rd marriage: wife died in childbirth 4th marriage: a reverse-Tyrion situation - annulled because he found her so ugly he couldn't get it up to consummate the marriage 6th marriage: lasted 4 years, until Henry died

[@lauradonaghyomalley2033]

2nd and 5th were both executed for "adultery" with debatable evidence

[@katie5822]

Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived. Kind of him to end his marriages in such an easy way for future schoolkids to remember.

[@abrarbw]

Old timy kings were so benevolent and kind people, weren't they?

[@btarczy5067]

When Joffrey clutched his throat in the Purple Wedding episode I honestly thought that Sansa had poisoned him for a moment and I have to admit that I cheered a little. There might have been a chant involved. It was my GoT reaction video moment and actually quite fun.

[@shelbyguitarmusic]

This was one of your best episodes yet. Your analysis of the depths of Sansa's character (and more) was really on point. Love your insights.

[@tenderistheday]

Thank you for Schwifting! Even when the pressure is on for Shift you haven't forgotten us, and we are very appreciative.

4:49 "If I flung myself from my window, the singers would write songs about me." So many Cluster B red flags in that sentence alone, man.

[@jordanthomas7702]

I really feel like you're skipping over all the trauma and her idolization of knights and princes and stories that she now has to desperately clings onto for hope because it's the only thing she has left.

[@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319]

@@jordanthomas7702 Lots of mental illness manifest from trauma. Any case you're right, she is desperately clinging to hope.

I love being caught up finally...except for the part where I don't get to listen to a new one every day

[@Marotzke]

Nostalgia Chubby Same here :D but now every new episode is a real highlight^^

[@JesseCaul]

I hope you can continue after this book to storm of swords. I read the books, but I much prefer someone like you to inform me when something is more relevant than meets the eye. These videos are fantastic.

[@Emma88178]

Holy shit the hatred against Sansa is disgusting. She just watched her own father BEHEADED right in front of her and is now a hostage of his murderers. But somehow, she is "seeking attention" for being understandably depressed and upset after all she has been through. Wow Sansa antis will never cease to amaze me with stupidity. Some people really don't want to actually READ her chapters to understand what's going on with her or what a great character she is.

[@gemmagrennan]

Thanks for squeezing this into your packed agenda!

[@calikal1968]

I didn't realize how much I missed this! Great one!Thanks you!

So glad I have this to listen to via wifi in Munich airport waiting waiting waiting.... this is the best.

Nope! Just leaving!

No, I was bored passing through the airport.

Hey schwift, I know you enjoy streaming but listening to the streams always felt so slow and full of fluff, I'm glad youre doing more.pre recorded stuff again, I'm not really mad at your preference. but I need to let you know that the pre recorded videos are higher quality and more efficient

[@thelettereth1526]

Ah, I was thinking of how I missed you.

[@josephcoleman57]

l had just commented on another of your videos what a marvelous job you do avoiding going off on tangents and there ya go..BUT it was very amusing the thought of hitting *stream* instead of *record* and just how you said it gave me a pretty good chuckle. .Also even while veering off path you made the joke sharp and quick. Brilliant * * i'm not British but l love the way youse* guys say it * Brooklyn

[@thelettereth1526]

Also, on publicly reporting suicides, there is a notable social psychology phenomena of an uptick in suicides when there is a known suicide which I think is still unclear as to any definite whys, but it's suspected to be higher than suspected because of the amount of seeming accidental deaths. It's not really a fame or media thing as it's been noted in communities of all kinds of sizes and cultures.

[@ciarangunn3239]

I love how you still find time to do these videos, but I'm still really wanting badly your amazing season 7 explained cideos

[@alexanderf8451]

This was the first chapter that I understood they really killed Ned. Didn't believe it in the Arya chapter because we don't actually see it happen. I was sure it was a fake out.

[@chyawanprash]

They confirmed it in the Bran chapter, though.

Sansa turns on people only when they do something bad to her. Her sense of morality is very self-interested. Marrying Ramsay is ok until he does something bad to her. She walks around with self-interested blinders.

[@mathiasrosier660]

That's not true at all. Sansa is one of the nicest and most empathetic POV characters. She ignored how people truly are in the first book because she needed things to fit like a song, but in so many occasions have people acted horribly to other people in the books and she openly condemned them. Marrying Ramsey was never ok, it was a means to an end, but she was fine with marrying him because she did not know about who he truly was or what he truly done. That situation does not reflect in any way your previous statement since she would have to know about how he truly was before she was engaged to him, which she didn't. And that's show stuff anyways and we're talking about the books.

[@camorinbatchelder6514]

Fifth.

[@JPhillups1018]

I’ve watched all these abridged videos up to this one and altswift sounds more and more like a complaining liberal with each new video. Hopefully he stops giving his woke personal opinions and just reads the chapter. We don’t need you to tell us how bad rape is 100 times. We know it’s bad ❤

[@JPhillups1018]

Also why is it amusing to see a former presidents head on a spike? You don’t even live in the United States right?

I commented on the wrong chapter, whoops! It took me six readthroughs of the whole series to recognize the foreshadowing of Sansa wishing a "hero" would cut off Slynt's ugly head. At least one of her wishes comes true, poor girl.

[@kevino9116]

Eyeball Paul So I see. I think I heard somewhere that he died, but that was obviously false information. Thanks for correcting me.

[@eyeballpaul700]

sadchild no problem man

[@rpproductions6241]

The main reason I came to hate Sansa was because in none of her chapters do I ever recall her taking any responsibility for her father’s death. No, she didn’t do the deed and she’s not responsible for that. But because of her selfishness and her inability to look beyond her own wants, this was the result. And even in later books she never even thinks about it. She says Joffrey is awful and he chopped off my father’s head. And the queen is awful. But not that she herself actually did anything wrong. Whenever she thinks of it, she leaves that out.

[@Galvatronover]

That first sentence invalidates the rest of your sentence you should have stopped while you were ahead

[@rpproductions6241]

@Galvatronover Not sure how. Maybe you just misinterpreted it. Pretty sure if my actions led to someone's death because I couldn't look beyond my own selfishness at the time, I wouldn't conveniently leave out the part in telling people "oh hey yeah I ratted him out btw".

[@koorohshahmoradi4882]

I've only seen the show and have just recently finished book 1 of asoiaf (Game of Thrones) If Sansa were to have thought she were responsible for Ned's death , she'd be wrong. She was a 12 year old girl with a small understanding of the situation she was in. Her actions were that of a naive kid , those who should feel responsible (and guilty) for their behavior are the adults who took advantage of her. Hopefully, this is a reflection of poor media literacy and nothing else. Cause if in real life you were to tell a freshly traumatized child that they should feel RESPONSIBLE for their fathers death, you'd be a psychopath.
