Cersei is as gentle as King Maegor, as selfless as Aegon the Unworthy, as wise as Mad Aerys.

So anyway here’s something funny about Daenerys’ “madness”: in the books Barristan Selmy doesn’t reveal himself to her immediately, hides his identity and is eventually discovered by Jorah. Then Barristan tells Daenerys that he chose NOT to follow Viserys because he did show signs of madness just like their father. Then proceedes to tell Daenerys that he had observed her under a false identity to find out whether she was, like Viserys, her father’s daughter, but he didn’t see ANY SIGNS of this “madness” in her. Barristan Selmy. A man who spent all his life by the Mad King’s side. Didn’t see any signs of madness in Daenerys. So there’s that.

I fully subscribe to this theory and I believe they swapped endings last minute

[alaynestonebastardbrave]

there are two kinds of people

kit harington: This is the second woman he’s fallen in love with who dies in his arms and he cradles her in the same way. That’s an awful thing. In some ways, Jon did the same thing to Ygritte by training the boy who kills her. This destroys Jon to do this.

emilia clarke: Um, he just doesn’t like women does he? He keeps f—king killing them.

End Credit Scene

The Finale as Joffrey’s wedding

“Miserable affair”

[sheikah]

What was the point of Drogon burning the Iron Throne? Bran is still king. Like literally nothing has changed but the name of the ruling family and the level of power held by the king. As an omniscient ruler Bran has something more than absolute power. The wheel isn’t broken, the system isn’t fixed. They killed Dany just to put someone else in her place but the damage is still done and the peasant class and slaves of the world will still suffer.

I feel for every daenerys stans this season, because I remember the actual pain and disgust and anger I felt over season 5 when the show decided to have Sansa placed in Jeyne Pooles plot for no sensible reason. They de-railed my favourite characters story, after promising she would flourish this season, she was going to be a badass, we were going to love this season, just to have her raped and abused and locked in a room until she was rescued. I felt physically ill when those credits were rolling, after hearing her dress rip and her sobbing, GOT airs at 8am in the morning in Australia and I cried intermittently that whole day and when my mum came home at 5pm that evening her face dropped and immediately asked ‘whats happened?’ I was so obviously upset (Literally the simpsons marge and lisa ‘is a book character having difficulties’ moment) like I KNOW it’s not real, but it hurt and in a way it hurt more because I knew it was not fair! Thats NOT what should have happened, it was a story that played out because DnD didn’t care! They wanted someone shoved in Jeyne Pools role, they thought Sansa’s book story was boring, and thats how it played out. The plot did nothing but support Theons arc, and have Sansa be ‘grateful’ because her imprisonment and rape is what made her strong apparently. Disgusting.

so if the leaks play out as they most likely will, I feel for you Daenerys stans, I’ve been there and it hurts.

And I’m baffled by any gloating Sansa/Jonsa stans right now who are joyfully watching daenerys’s ‘downfall’ because they think it validates them or their ship and makes Sansa come out a winner….when Sansa was one of the first characters dismissed, hollowed out and destroyed by this show 3 seasons back. 

[gottalovethyneighbour]

In one of the interviews for season 5 D&D actually stated that they did that because it was a ‘strong’ scene and had a dramatic impact, and that Sophie Turner could play that out brilliantly… they didn’t give a single fck about Jeyne Poole.

[lyn452]

This also infuriated me in season 7 where they clearly didn’t change anything else for Sansa despite making her Jeyne Pool. Because why would show Sansa ever trust a word Littlefinger tells her again? Why wouldn’t she just hate him? Book Sansa has a complicated relationship with the man, but it makes sense in the books where he’s both the man who saved and protected her as well as her creepy uncle.

I was never a huge Sansa fan, but I liked her. Behind Jon and Ned, she is probably my favorite Stark. But she’s being written terribly too. Her last three seasons have been petty fights for no reason. Season 6 petty fights with Jon. Season 7 petty fights with Arya. Season 8 petty fights with Daenerys. She’ll get rewarded in the end with the North for all of this, but not because she did some masterminding or saw something no one else did, which is what the writers will say. Nope, it will just be the plot giving her stuff because mad queen. 

Just the fact that they’ve written everyone out of character is astonishing. Daenerys deserved so much better, but so did Sansa. I would love a smart, scheming Sansa who is one of the major players in the game and just running the board. I would have loved a Sansa smart enough to send Arya to kill Cersei rather than risk her troops. I would have loved a Sansa smart enough to act more Margaery than Cersei when Daenerys arrived. I would have loved Sansa’s response to Sandor be “even little birds have deadly talons” or something a bit more affirming. I just feel bad for all Game of Thrones fans right now. We all deserved better, and I’m sorry I defended this shit for too long. I should have started getting angry in Season 5 when the rot kicked in, but I was just happy enough until now.

#ive said it before and ill say it again #when petyr baelish died was the same episode that sansa shouldve died #theyre so woven together petyr and sansa theres no way that she wouldnt fall too #if either of them were to survive lets be real here itd be baelish #hes too coniving and has so much experience and practice in it #still so salty over show!sansas plot#they did her dirty (via @geekychemist)

[alaynestonebastardbrave]

I have been a Sansa fan ever since season 2 lead me to read the books in between seasons 2 and 3 and I fell in love with her character. I have been hoping to see her crowned as Queen in the North for years now. It is probably my biggest wish in the series. And I got it. And it was great. And I can project all my book expectations on to that one scene and ignore all the other trash that came before it. But let me tell you something, it still feels dirty that I had to see it at the expense of Daenerys Targaryen’s character.

To all Dany fans out there: I feel your pain for all the reasons previously listed above. And I am genuinely sorry.

we know no queen but the queen in the north whose name is   s t a r k

Bland the Broken, ruler of doing nothing in the midst of battle, useless warg of the Andals and the First Man, long may he reign.
