14th may - daenarys forever
i saw episode 5 of GOT, season 8. here be my thoughts.
i know everyone wants dany to be honorable and do the right thing. but consider what she's thinking and feeling at that point of time, seating on drogon, pure dracarys power in her hand, poised on top of the tower, clearly waiting for and then hearing the bells.
they won. but did she win?
they didn't love her as queen. she had no one on her side. everyone will know about jon's heritage and already favors him above her. the one who loved her sincerely has died. her only friend has died. she wanted to be friends with sansa, sansa doesn't want anything to do with her. the one time she let her walls down and let a dude in, he couldn't love her the way she wants him to. the one she trusted, keeps on telling her no and what not to do. keeps on betraying her. her babies has died. the one job she has worked so hard for her whole life, will be handed over to some shmuck who did nothing to prepare for it, or even want it. no one will back her up. literally, she was alone. drogon is great but no (wo)man is an island as much as she thinks she could be.
she did what anyone could have done in her place. she's not a saint. no one would be.
as for cersei-
i get that it felt unsatisfactory for her to end that way. but consider this - she did not leap on top of a roof and yell dany! come and get me you little stinker! she saw it all end. and then she fled. when she was alone, she stumbled. and she died in fear for not wanting this end. perhaps that is the only fitting ending. terrified out of her wits and not knowing what else can be done.
so to me, it went the way it should have gone.
and strongly, team dany. even though she's doomed now.
other GOT thoughts -
i really like bitchy and strong sansa
i like arya when she rejected the marriage proposal. it was awesome. i'm not a lady and will never be. hell yeah! i like that she doesn't feel like she *had* to be moony just because they slept together. maybe it was just a crush yah gendry?
i'm glad ghost is still alive altho it defeats his purpose of life, maybe? but you're alive, little guy. yay.
i love the internet for giving me access to all things GOT even though i rejected the books and never saw a single full episode until the 1st episode of season 8.
