(Spoilers Main) Who will fAegon marry and appoint

people don’t theorize about Arya because she is far more disconnected from the 7K (both in her current state and whatever theories one predicts for her future). Not to mention Arya was already a wild girl who couldn’t fanthom the idea of being used merely as a chess pawn in a wedding match. Now after everything she had to witness and live through, after years in exile, picturing Arya in that role is even more difficult than it would have been in the beginning of book 1.

All of this is irrelevant. First of all, Arya has only been away from Westeros for a relatively short time and it's, at the very least, extremely likely that she will return.

Second, it's hypocritical to disregard Arya because of her current circumstances while theorizing about Sansa assuming that all her current circumstances that currently hold her back like being married or being missing as far as Westeros knows will all be resolved. Why the duoble standard.

And third, Westeros at large doesn't know Arya's personality, they just know she's a daughter of house Stark. We actually already have examples of people wanting to marry or using her claim with that betrothment to the Frey boy that wanted to marry a princess and the Boltons literally using her claim to hold the north. Theor says to Jayne that any man would want to marry her for her name. Jon wants to send Arya away so that Stannins doesn't try to use her. So when fans say that people would not be interested in connecting politically with Arya, it's probably just because they don't want that to happen for whatever reason and they blatantly ignore what's already on the text that contradicts this idea.

And I don’t “want” Sansa to marry anyone as yet another political match, girlfriend already went through four of those. If I were to “want” anything for her would be for her to chill in the Eyre until the dust has settled. She could spend the rest of her days as Alayne for all I care, that would be a nice conclusion to the illusions she held as a child about marriages and princes and whatnot.

I'm not saying that applies to you specifically, I'm just refering to the origin of this theory.

But LF has already made the next intended step of her journey quite clear, and she isn’t exactly objecting to it considering a) she doesn’t really have the option to, and b) if LF’s plan does materialize, she has a chance to reclaim her home in Winterfell and her name.

But LF never mentioned fAegon?

Considering all that, Sansa is clearly the sister in a position where it would be not only possible to cross paths with fAegon, but might even be to both their advantages for them to come together in one way or another.

Yeah that could happen, but seriously, there's literally no evidence for this, nothing, it's 100% speculation. I might as well say Sansa could run into Hotpie and fall in love with him. Yes, it could happen, but why would anyone think that it would? That's why I think that Sansa/fAegon originated from people wanting this to happen rather than actual textual evidence.

He should already have the support of Dorne in the bag, considering he is Elia’s “son”, and Sansa could deliver three powerful allies to him. And for Sansa - clearly “king fAegon” is a more powerful match than Harry the heir.

Yeah but this is what my point was before, all the "reason" you gave as to why Sansa is a choice and Arya, for example, isn't are easily disproved by the books, but people still try to pretend that fAegon wanting to marry Sansa is only based on logic. Sorry, I'm not buying it. I think it's just people wanting Sansa to marry someone powerful. And maybe there're people like you who don't care about that but the theory got repeated so much that it started to attact people even if there isn't actually any evidence for it, and it's fine to like it and who knows, maybe it ends up happening, but lets be real, right now, nothing supports it.
