I kinda dig Cersei's character, she's gotten worse in latter seasons like everything else but she's basically an evil fairy tale queen and that's cool.

The iron throne is going to be melted down and repurposed into weapons as a last ditch defense against Podrick’s rampant sex-powers.

Solice Kirsk posted:She blew up most of the ruling class. Just to put everything in perspective: The Tyrells are all dead. The Martells are all dead. The Tullys are all dead. The Baratheons are all dead. The Lannisters are all dead except Cersei and Jaime. The only Arryn is a broke brained kid. The only Greyjoy is a lap dog of Cersei. The Starks only have one male heir, a crippled weirdo wizard. The Great Houses are all wiped out. The lesser houses of the south like Frey, Clegane, Tarly, etc. are all gone. With the North and the Vale in rebellion the "ruling class" is literally just Cersei and small, insignificant houses like Stokeworth. Cersei is the only person in a seat of power in the South. No one could even think of challenging her now from the 5 kingdoms she controls. And the Targaryens are gonna get smoked by the night daddy. #TeamCersei The Anime Liker fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Apr 10, 2019 |

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:One of the cool thematic undertones of that whole storyline was that renlys death completely incapacitated the greatest knight in the kingdom and so many of the best fighters are involved in these deeply homoerotic friendships with other men (barristan/rhaegar, Arthur Dayne/Ned) that the only acceptable reading imo is that being gay and in love is some kind of superpower in Westeros Maybe it's not an accident. Thanks to pick, we know that this also holds true in the original texts about King Arthur and the knights of the round table.
