Nothing gives us greater joy as human beings than to see a self-appointed enemy of ours plan fruitlessly to destroy us, only to be betrayed by their allies. Good riddance. Lord Varys won’t be missed, not by me nor the many faithful to the one true queen. Let everyone know that it was indeed Jon Snow that brought this upon them, end of story.
“Blood is thicker than water.” Is this what the saying mean? I’ve pondered as Tyrion lays down his life for his family who almost got him executed falsely. The look on Tywine Lannister’s face if he were still alive would have been priceless.
The foolishness of the masses is what will get them killed ultimately. How convenient it is that they chose not to hear the legend of the great “Breaker of Chains” and her dragons, who have come to free the people. Somehow they pick Cersei. Or were they choosing the devil they know? If Cerise were the devil I know, then I will gladly dance with the angel I don’t, but the people of Kings Landing chose otherwise and that will be their undoing.
Spread the word that the one true queen has returned with an army. She has come to Westeros with a promise and she will burn anything that stands in her way. Daenerys Targaryen is a consuming fire. She has reduced Kings Landing to ashes with fire: Once tall, resplendent buildings and statues turned to dust because Cersei must be a false queen.
The day that Kings Landing was brought to its knees will go down in history as the bloodiest war the world has ever seen. Every single enemy of the queen will be vanquished in fire. The Queen Daenerys of house Targaryen has chosen to rule Westeros with fear. The right choice I must say, considering all the rulers before her, including the noble Eddard Stark ruled with fear and it worked just fine. Daenerys anger cannot be contained. Gone are the days of pity and mercy. The day for action has come and all will be vanquished under her rage, starting with Euron Greyjoy’s armada. It was a good feeling, seeing the commander of the Iron fleet run for his life only to have his head flung off by the Dothrakis from their horses.
Arya Stark is here and so we all should worry a little bit less. She has come for Cersei and so has her travel buddy- The Hound, returned for his own vengeance from his brother- The Mountain- Cersei chief guard. After fighting the undead all night in the North, little did we know that the real undead lies in Kings Landing by Cersei’s side and only fire will kill him; Infamously, the Mountain also falls in Drogon’s spittle of fire with him. I wonder if that nun -Unella, -who for days tortured Cersei in the Sept into confessing and taking her walk of atonement-, will rejoice now that her “god” is dead. Or did she fall like the many others in the capital?
When judgement day comes all will know. Today, judgment has come for House Lannister and it won’t return until Cersei has fallen. The North has remembered and there is no hiding place.
Crocodile tears never felt so crocodile-esque until it dropped off Cersei’s cheeks. What was she sorry about? She had her chance and she chose the other way. Reality is the real bitch as it dawns on Cersei in bold letters: You are all alone. She knows it and never has she been happier to see a familiar face than now. As she makes for her escape alone through the dungeons below the Red Keep, her brother- the King Slayer, -having just slain someone who called himself a king- is there to greet her, as the world literarily crumbles upon them. They were never married but even in death they stayed together. So sad it was never a love story to begin with.
As we wear sack cloths and take to the streets or social media to mourn our beloved who were slain in the wars of Westeros, we should all remember that it was Jon Snow who brought war to the doorsteps of the guilty and innocent of Kings Landing, despite all the lies that are being told about the queen. D. B. Weiss and David Benioff should hear this loud and clear: The fans remember.
