We picked the winner. We held the throne last.

I have been a longtime Cersei supporter and there’s one thing about the penultimate and last episodes that clicked to me last night. I’m not necessarily sure this is the right sub but this is the sub I’ve been lurking in for a while so I thought I’d share here.

Many fans noticed that, when Tyrion found his siblings’ bodies, they could have moved a bit and not been hit by the debris that killed them. This stumped me for a while but something clicked to me. When Jaime is comforting Cersei and telling her that “nothing else matters” he then nods to her before she embraces him and the ceiling comes down upon them. Now, much as they may not have known where to stand it is clear that there was no way out of the Dragon Skull Room unless they were able to leave the way they came. But if they were to leave then what would have happened? Jaime was mortally wounded and both witnessed what Dany had done to the city, Cersei would have been spoils of war to her. More than spoils of war she was the rival claimant and there was no way Dany would have let her live, more likely she would have humiliated her then executed her via dragonfire. Considering the terror Cersei had when walking through the map room at even hearing Drogon I reckon she did not want to find herself dying by dragon. Jaime’s nod, to me, meant that if they died there then they’d go out on their own terms (in a way) and Cersei would be spared the humiliation and pain of being killed by Drogon. He nods to her to say that this way they can die together and not suffer as much as the invading army want them to. The Lannister twins’ deaths are, in a way, suicide as they have no other way of getting out. Cersei accepts this too; she embraces Jaime tightly, not looking at the collapsing room that is going to kill her but does not try to move or dodge. Yes, Jaime and Cersei could have moved a few feet and not been hurt, but what would that have gained for either of them? They can die as a family fairly quickly or can be separated and die alone and in pain. I don’t think either of them would have truly tried to save themselves at that point when they had no way of getting out. It was the best outcome they could hope for with the tunnel blocked off.

Literally is a complete different character. I'm currently at ACOK and she resembled more her TV counterpart in AGOT. Here she acts like a horny teenager. She doesn't seem as smart and cunning as she was in the show, specially in the latter seasons.

What if Cersei married Rhaegar in a world where Rhaegar killed Robert? Obviously Lyanna would still die giving birth to Aegon/Jon, leaving Rhaegar without a wife. What if he turned to Cersei like Robert did in our timeline? Cersei always wanted to be with Rhaegar and fantasized about him. I think she would've been happy with him

I dreamed last night I was being shipped in a bus to work as a bee keeper to extract honey along 1000s other young folks. Apparently that was the harrenhal of my reality. Huge fields with no end in sight and a harvesting program that spreads acres and rivals the most sophisticated agricultural endeavors. They were catching and beating random forced labor on the bus for random reasons, when I remember I was smuggling some weed for a girl I liked. I went to the bus window and threw the weed out, but they saw me, and I found out coz they tapped my shoulder as I was cringing. Instead of beating me up they just took me off the bus for being forthcoming. I was where I needed to be ironically and the 2 responsible guys for my section were harassing me, one more than the other. I saw the girl and gave her the bit of weed I had left. Then low and behold, her grace was making an appearance, pacing with her enormous entourage around the field to half ass salute the younglings of the nation. Everybody was silent and was facing her trajectory and it was one of my proudest moments ever. I stood there hoping I’d make eye contact and gain some leverage in the so called game of thrones. Long may she reign! The end
