You know, just because he doesn't plan stuff out doesn't necessarily mean he isn't aware of all these very subtle characterizations and whatnot. We cannot possibly know he made sansa and just thought "She's going to be the stereotypical princess that later goes with littlefinger and then *does whatever she is going to do in the next two books here*" and then built the character from there, fully aware of each thing that he is adding to her. Or if he thought out all her relationships with every character out and then began writing the story, but didn't literally think out the exact dialouge and mannerisms of how the relationship will play out. That'd still be winging it, imo.
However, what I'm asking is if he is a doing all these subtle things intentionally. Like, even if he didn't plan it out, is he aware of how he made the relationship between Sansa and Jon or is this just coincidence and nothing will come of it? For a guy who claims to not plan things out, he puts in all these prophecies and the hundreds of scattered hints about things like the Red Wedding. This proves that he does have a certain amount planned out, but I can't help but marvel at the sheer number of predictions that fans have made by picking up what seem to be subtle but believable hints. It's just...there's so much of this stuff, it's almost unbelievable that one person can keep track of all this stuff without writing it down or anything. So when I'm looking at this Jon and Sansa analysis, what the person is saying really does make sense, but with the hundreds of other things that GRRM has hinted at, I'm beginning to think that either a good deal of them must be completely off base or looking too much into the text...or GRRM is some kind of superhuman, in which case I wish to kill him and eat him so I may gain his power.
