#a man is regretting giving the power of life and death to a vengeful 11-year old #a man should have expected this to go badly
#A MAN DID NOT MAKE THE BEST LIFE CHOICE
A MAN LOOKS AT HIS LIFE, A MAN LOOKS AT HIS CHOICES
my skin has turned to porcelain, to ivory, to steel.
#the most doomed family in the history of doomed families #i feel like this is the most painful part of rewatching the first episode #you see this family that actually does love each other #and then in the second episode they all go their separate ways#and no one was happy ever again

And Cersei began to cry.
Tyrion Lannister could not have been more astonished if Aegon the Conqueror himself had burst into the room, riding on a dragon and juggling lemon pies. He had not seen his sister weep since they were children together at Casterly Rock. Awkwardly, he took a step toward her. When your sister cries, you were supposed to comfort her … but this was Cersei.

Game of Thrones: Favourite Joffrey moments

BRIENNE : Then I am yours, my Lady. I will shield your back and give my life for yours if it comes to that. I swear it by the Old Gods and the new.
CATELYN : I vow that you shall always have a place in my home and at my table and that I shall ask no service of you that might bring you dishonor. I swear it by the Old Gods and the new.

Okay. Reasons that this scene is the best thing ever include but are by no means limited to:
- how well Maisie Williams is holding her own here, I mean here she is playing against this amazing veteran actor and she’s just bringing it
- the way this is like her fucked-up revenge fantasy of what she wishes her brother could do to the Lannisters
- but she’s already disillusioned enough to know it’s a fantasy
- because “anyone can be killed” is an implicit threat to Tywin but it’s also an acknowledgement of the fact that she or Robb or anyone else can bite it at any time
- (because apparently Arya has already read ASOIAF and knows how fucked they all are)
- and let’s talk about the fact that this kid just threatened Tywin Lannister
- TYWIN FUCKING LANNISTER
- whose own kids can barely look him in the face when they’re talking to him
- his kids who are grownups and have killed kings and won battles and run kingdoms are terrified of him
- and he looks at Arya and thinks “why aren’t my kids awesome like you”
- “you’re like five years old and you just threatened me, you little badass”
- (‘cause don’t think for a second that Tywin doesn’t get the subtext here)
- “why do my children have to be such cringing little asshats”
- (but of course Tywin is the one who made them into cringing little asshats.)
Even if you don’t watch Game of Thrones, read the reasons. Seriously, it’s fucking worth it.
