Woe to the fucking wicked.
I thought everyone shipped Jaime/Brienne!
Sadly, no. There are people, in fact, who very much anti-ship them (which often co-occurs with shipping Cersei/Jaime)

Jaime/Brienne seems like a beacon of (relative) sanity
Yes me! Sanity and hotness. While I know Brienne is supposed to look ugly or large or what have you, I have never not found that actress attractive, and her with Nicolaj is just smokin' for me.

...so I went into the pairing tag on Jaime/Brienne, and, well. Can someone please explain to me why Sandor Cligane and Sansa Stark are a thing?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
There is, scarily enough, canonical support for that ship (moreso in the books, but I'm guessing you're a show person?) Starting even in book 1, when he escorts her back to the castle after the feast and tells her his tragic backstory, and then he's one of the few people to protect her at all, particularly from Joffrey, and then there's the scene during the Battle of the Blackwater.
I don't ship it because it's more than a little creepy, but it's not a crack ship.

I'm sort of a show-and-wiki person; I am unwilling to take on another series until I know it will be completed, so the books are a treat for whenever GRRM gets on with things.
Ohhh, I sort of remember that, the protection thing. I definitely did not see a ship out of it, but ships will sail on a single thread. Or nothing. They will sail on nothing.
Thanks Debet.

Clint Barton and Phil Coulson have never been in the same shot together, but that doesn't stop us.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
In book-canon, Sandor is 30. They age everyone up on the show, the adults much moreso than the kids (Jaime and Cersei are about my age. Nikolaj and Lena are not. Sean Bean REALLY isn't). And, looking at the wiki, there's only 2 years difference in the age gap between the two ships, which is freaking me out a little bit.

Yeah, I remember re-reading Book I and being surprised when it mentions Ned Stark is only 36. It made some of his decisions a bit more explicable, at least.

If I only had a brain...
Sailaweigh, I think the Gondal series isn't doing what you think it's doing.
Disclaimer: You do not have to have fun, there is no reason you should have fun, your fun is not my fun and that's okay.
The series is strongly, STRONGLY Johnlock, with Sherlock/John OTP. The title character is Sherlock's wife, married for strictly dynastic reasons.
