That's exactly how I took it too, and what I was trying to say about how violence is affecting her! I think she's slowly going a bit dark side-y is our Sansa!Originally Posted by Kalevala
I interpreted Ramsay's line as meaning that he notices how, through his treatment of her, she has developed a taste for cruelty. Pre-Ramsay Sansa would have never smirked after feeding someone to their own ravenous dogs.

Littlefinger and his armty might be a blessing in disguise
heres something i found on the internet that we probably all forgot about:
a scene/conversation between littlefinger and Cersei from season 5
Here’s the relevant piece of the exchange, after Littlefinger offers to attack Winterfell with the Knights of the Vale:
“And if you succeed?” Cersei says
“Name me Warden of the North,” Littlefinger says.
“I’ll speak to the king this evening, have him issue a royal decree.”
“I will not rest until the Lion flies over Winterfell,” Littlefinger says, in reference to the Lannisters’ house sigil.
“I’ll know you’re a man of your word when I see Sansa Stark’s head on a spike.”
So that’s not a super good sign for Sansa. Littlefinger won’t even have to attack Winterfell, since his knights are already the occupying force. Not only that, but the Stark’s trump card, Wun Wun the giant, is dead. Maybe they're not as unstoppable as we thought.
There are a few ways this could go. First, Littlefinger could keep his word to the Lannisters. Though Cersei is no longer in control of the king, presumably the royal decree still stands. Second, Littlefinger could decide he loves Sansa more than he wants power. That seems unlikely given that he's kind of all about power. Third, he could lead his own force south and fight against the increasingly disorganized and dispirited Tyrell and Lannister armies while they’re fighting the Faith Militant in King’s Landing.
Whatever happens, Sansa is in a lot worse trouble than she realizes.

That's why Littlefinger needs to die. Well, that, and all the trout he caused that led to the events of the first season and thereafter.
Winterfell is a big castle. Accidents happen
Littlefinger has a lot more work to do if he is going to convince the Northern lords to follow him as Warden. Bolton was the second most powerful North house and played his cards right with the other lords to take over as warden, taking advantage of their fatigue in Rob's war as well as their disgust with him breaking a marriage pact and marrying a lower ranked girl. Littlefinger doesn't really have anything like that going for him. The Vale lords are not going to follow him into a war with the North just to further his agenda. Hell, they are only doing this now because he convinced them to help Sansa, kin to their liege lord.
I think Littlefinger will try to marry Sansa to stake his claim, not kill her. Sansa is kin to both the Riverlands and Vale lords and is the only known heir to Winterfell. A great prize for him, and maybe he intended for the Boltons to lose favor for him to take Sansa back all along. Plus, he clearly has some affection for her and Cersei is out of power. He has no reason to hold up his end of the bargain.

Yeah I think he's going for the marriage angle.
I want a SansaxLittlefinger wedding so badly.
But I want him to di--
......
On second thought, I fully support this marriage pact.
But... why? You want her to marry the person who literally gifted her to Ramsay Bolton so she could get wed to him and raped?
I detest Littlefinger for his actions towards Sansa. He is not a good person in any way whatsoever.

You need bad guys to make the story entertaining though and we are now running slightly low on those. Littlefinger will have to do for now!
We need Euron to step up to the plate. His book incarnation, especially the sample chapter from the unreleased Winds of Winter, seems to be as bad as Joffrey or Ramsey... and unlike those two he seems to be actually competent too.
You're right that we need a bad guy, but that doesn't mean I hope that bad things happen to good characters who have had enough crap thrown at them for now.
I think we have a good supply of bad guys, actually.
- White Walkers
- Littlefinger
- Euron
- Cersei & Co.
- Sand Snakes (hard to say if you think they're good or bad tbh)
- The Inevitable Further Baddies in Essos That Seem To Never, Ever End (Here's Hoping Though)
If it's true regarding how many episodes there are left, I for one will be happy enough to see the end of Littlefinger soon enough, Euron whenever, and then Cersei & Co. + White Walkers to push us through the last few episodes, with perhaps some other interference by the likes of the stone men, the red priestesses or something.

What I like about Game of Thrones though is that a lot of the time, the supposed 'bad guys' are just people trying to make the best of their situation, and often they see themselves as good.
Curious, now that I think of it, what the Iron Bank will do regarding the debt that Stannis is now unlikely to be able to pay. Likewise the debt that, so far as I know, King's Landing still have yet to pay them. Surely that will come into play, especially if the Iron Bank is no longer going to be funding a fight against Dany (if they ever were), let alone funding Stannis. They'll be wanting to get some money back sooner rather than later, I'd imagine.

i want my shield back..
