praising r’hllor . anyway i’m watching s06e10 && mel is being banished . look honestly the entire shireen burning was a mess , i don’t agree with it && it is part of why i am primarily book canon. but okay listen , she does NOT feel good about it , you can see the minute davos confronts her about it that she isn’t about to shy away from it - she doesn’t continue to hide the fact that she did it , mainly because she will always stand by her choices , but also because she knows that there is no way she is going to be able to keep it a secret any more .
for me , this scene hurts because after stannis died , she essentially had no one . her && davos aren’t close , even with the shared loss , && jon , as far as i can tell , holds no affection for her . she is simply THERE , alone in a world that is still strange to her . before davos confronted her about shireen , she seemed to be growing a little more comfortable , && perhaps felt that she was finally finding a place after stannis was gone - but now , it’s all gone because of a choice she made . && again , like i hit on every single time i talk about melisandre && shireen , you cannot hold her solely responsible . blame stannis , blame selyse . both allowed it to happen , selyse only stepping in when it was too late . she took the blame , shouldered it , && owned up to it .
