“No, no, my good knight, do not fear for me. The fire is mine. I am Daenerys Stormborn, daughter of dragons, bride of dragons, mother of dragons, don’t you see? Don’t you SEE?”
Your son was butchered at the Red Wedding, Lord Manderly, but you refused the call. You swore allegiance to House Stark, Lord Glover, but in their hour of greatest need, you refused the call. And you, Lord Cerwyn, your father was skinned alive by Ramsay Bolton. Still, you refused the call.
I am Cersei of House Lannister, a lion of the Rock, the rightful queen of these Seven Kingdoms, trueborn daughter of Tywin Lannister. And hair grows back.
Ned: In terms of instant relief, canceling plans is like heroin.
Daenerys: The more you do stuff, the better you get at dealing with how you still fail at it a lot of the time.
Sansa: Part of me was like, whatever, you know. You know those days when you’re like… this might as well happen?
Arya: Because it’s the one thing you can’t replace.
Bran: I am very small, and I have no money. You can imagine the kind of stress I’m under.
Robert: I’m either having a drink or I have to pee. You’re living the golden years, kid, not me.
Joffrey: IN FACT, WE’RE GONNA FRAME YOU FOR MURDER, AND YOU’RE GONNA GO TO JAIL FOR 30 YEARS.
Catelyn: It’s a grid system, motherfucker. Where you at – 24th and 5th? Where you wanna go – 35th and 6th? Eleven up and one over ya simple bitch.
Petyr: And I said ‘no’. You know, like a liar.
Tyrion: I quit drinking cause I used to drink too much, and then I would black out, and I would “ruin parties” or so I’m told.
Jaime: I also don’t want me to be doing what I’m doing.
Cersei: Eat ass, suck a dick, and sell drugs.
Davos: It is so much easier not to do things than to do them.
Stannis: We were at Lion King on Broadway and there was a five year old behind us going, “Look it’s Pumbaa! Look its Timon!” and my dad turned around and said, “Are you going to talk the entire time?”
Renly: I’m really sorry about last night, it’s just that I’m mean and loud.
Asha: *smashes a 40* SCATTER
Theon: I don’t look older. I just look worse.
Sam: Some people give off a vibe like right away they’re like “don’t fuck with me.” My vibe is more like “hey you could pour hot soup in my lap and I’d probably apologize to you.”
Robb: Oh, yes, and what a mighty king I will be, eating dinner at 4:45 in the afternoon.
Sandor: So my dad pulled up to the drive thru window and ordered a black coffee. The one thing no kid can ever enjoy.
Brienne: Thirteen-year-olds are the meanest people in the world. They terrify me to this day.
Margaery: I think Emily Dickinson’s a lesbian.
Loras: Well… you know how I’m filled with rage? I’m so horny and angry all the time… and I have no outlet for it.
Ygritte: Anyone who’s seen me naked and met my parents has to die. I can’t have them running around.
Arianne: I like to lean in and go “stop snitchin’ motherfucker” and walk off.
Jon Connington: I’ll keep all my feelings right here and one day I’ll die.
Aeron: Something happened here. You hope it was a miracle. Probably not.
Euron: This is an on-fire garbage can.
Victarion: Sometimes babies will point at me, and I don’t care for that shit at all.
Melisandre: If it’s a true or false question, you should be able to add a third option, which is… “Who’s to say?”
Jon Snow: The best thing about that was that after that, cars were pulling up and looking over to see who just did that piece of shit move, expecting to see like a 100-year-old blind dog who’s texting while driving and drinking a smoothie, instead they see a 28-year-old healthy man trying his best.
NIKOLAJ
COSTER-WALDAU on Dany in 2013 (!): “There’s also something about that type of power
that Daenerys has. Most people believe she’s doing the right thing, but she’s
burning people alive. She’s got a chip on her shoulder. I don’t want her to
come across the Narrow Sea. She’s going
to burn thousands and thousands and thousands of people and have that
self-righteous smirk on her face the whole time.” (Source)
In 2017: “How
do you think they’re going to react when [Jon] finds out that he’s actually the
rightful heir to the Iron Throne? I mean, he’s now a threat to [Daenerys]. He’s
first in line now. The whole thing she built her life on is now a lie. She
doesn’t seem that stable to me, that girl.” (Source)
And in 2018 on the ending
of Game of Thrones: “I … know that we end the right way and the show ends on
its own terms. When I read the scripts for the last season I was like ‘Wow,
they really pulled it off.’ It’s one story from season one to nine [meaning
season 8] and it makes sense.“ (Source)
Bonus:
Emilia Clarke in her Vanity Fair interview of this year: “[Daenerys is] doing
all this weird shit. You’ll know what I mean when you see it.” + [on her
character’s final on-screen moments]: “It fucked me up. Knowing that is going
to be a lasting flavor in someone’s mouth of what Daenerys is …” (Source)
To sum it up: Nikolaj is satisfied with the ending of GoT which means 1. Dany is not on the throne and likely his character assessment of her has been right all along and 2. he was right when he doubted that the parentage reveal was going to go over well with Dany.
I fear for the people who still think that Dany/Jon is going to be a happy ever-after. Nikolaj has seen Dark!Dany
coming for a long time AND he’s satisfied with the ending. That should give the
fans who still think she’s a heroine some pause. And the line about the “weird
shit” Dany is doing according to Emilia? That sounds really ominous to me…
I came to the king, begging him to surrender. He told me to bring him my father’s head. Then he turned to his pyromancer. "Burn them all,“ he said. "Burn them in their homes. Burn them in their beds.” Tell me, if your precious Renly commanded you to kill your own father and stand by while thousands of men, women, and children burned alive, would you have done it? Would you have kept your oath then? First, I killed the pyromancer. And then when the king turned to flee, I drove my sword into his back. “Burn them all,” he kept saying.
DAENERYS TARGARYEN APPRECIATION 2018 ELEMENT – AIR: If I had wings, I would want to fly too, Dany thought. The Targaryens of old had ridden upon dragonback when they went to war. She tried to imagine what it would feel like, to straddle a dragon’s neck and soar high into the air. It would be like standing on a mountaintop, only better. The whole world would be spread out below. If I flew high enough, I could even see the Seven Kingdoms, and reach up and touch the comet.
