Girl, don’t waste your assured kill™ on Hot Pie

“Why didn’t I say Lord Tywin?” His plot armour is too strong

I just know Edmure’s beard looks ridiculous

Underestimating Tywin Lannister of all people…

Having weeping and openly showing emotion be the mark of civilisation is really profound, but also loses all meaning with the way they treat it

What I’m saying is, they’re a pack of pompous pricks (whoo alliteration) who should be knocked down a peg

Calling a zebra a zorse will never not be funny

I mean, I assume they’re basically zebra’s, though you really shouldn’t ride a zebra. I guess you technically can, but can and should are two different things entirely

Can someone put Dany in touch with Hiccup, please

Arryk and Erryk mention😢

Kudos to whoever threw shit at Joffrey’s face

RIP Renly

Brienne put here acing the quick time events

Welcome to the Lord Commander’s tutorials. Today he’ll be sharing his recipe for glühwein

“What am I doing?” Something stupid

“The trees stood beneath him, warriors armoured in bark and leaf, deployed in their silent ranks awaiting the command to storm the hill” Was that a goddamn Macbeth reference

“The Bastard is dead” Isn’t Ramsay supposed to live on for much longer? I don’t think Roose Bolton had another illegitimate son, so I guess Winterfell is getting false info?

Ooooh did Ramsay and Reek do a switcheroo?

Living for the petty arguments among the small council. What do you mean they should be too busy for that while they’re ruling the country

“Joffrey is made of finer stuff” Press X to doubt

Nice, more members of the “We hate Theon Greyjoy”-club

Ah, hubris

“Well, no one can ever claim that my sister does not love her family” Tyrion-

Loving the Bronn-Tyrion banter as always

“Sleep is good. And books are better” He gets it

Why do all these fuckers find rape so amusing

Yeah kill that bitch

Poor Catelyn, having to wrangle everyone like misbehaving children. First House Stark, then the Riverlords, now the Baratheon brothers

Kinda funny though

Renly, I love you, but this display with the peach is weird af

Bro, take the deal! Win the war, lay low for a while, and when the time is right you can still scheme to have Stannis killed. He just offered to name you his heir!

All these kings could use a lesson in humility and hubris

“I am not threatening the king, ser, I am educating my nephew” I love this scene

“That was a threat. See the difference?” I can practically hear the inflection in Peter Dinklage’s voice

Cersei hugging Tyrion? In my Westeros? Unheard of

To be fair, Stannis fighting Renly is pretty stupid. I get where he’s coming from, but really? At least talk to Renly first. Offer to name him your heir if he joins you or something, then you have a much easier time taking King’s Landing, and then you can see about the North

You honestly should just kill Pycelle. There’s no way you that you can ever trust him serving anyone but Cersei and maybe Tywin. I know that means you have some trouble, but come on. The guy’s old and (seemingly) ailing. People die from old age. Alternatively, accidents happen…

Additionally, think what you could do if you handpicked the next Grant Maester. That’s a powerful influence on your side

There’s the list

Percival de Rolo would like a word

Are we not gonna get Arya serving as Tywin’s cupbearer? I thought those were some really intriguing scenes in the show

Well this is quite the 180 from Harrenhal and the horrors of war

Dany’s really getting the hang of this

Dany trusting and loving Jorah so implicitly-

“His neck and shoulders ached fiercely” Me, a chronic pain sufferer: You mean Tuesday?

“‘Be careful around Craster’s women.’ As if Samwell Tarly needed warning on that score” Well damn, Jon

Oh yeah, Mormont is gonna love that rotting bear skull at the gate

Do NOT kick the puppies

Please stop describing how people piss

I see Jon’s discovered the difference between wisdom and intelligence

I hate the way Theon talks

When he’d met his new owner (Theon), he’d pulled back his lips and tried to bite off his face” The horse is a good judge of character, then

Theon, you’re gross

Can you people stop kicking dogs

Owned

So I read that they changed Asha’s name in the show to Yara so viewers wouldn’t confuse her with Osha? Why do you presume your audience is stupid? Also, you think that’s a problem, but not all the Targaryen names?

Would you like to be? (The Vampire Armand x Artist!Reader)

During a visit to the gallery, you offer to help Armand deal with his trauma by painting him.

This basically came about through me hearing Assad say "No one has painted me in over 400 years" in that beautifully vulnerable tone of voice and me spontaneously asking "Would you like to be?"

Spoiler alert!

“Where do the tomatoes keep coming from?” Brennan out here asking the real questions

Damn, she called herself an object

*Old, croaky voice:* “I’ll fuck you up”

“I don’t love anyone, so I’m good” “Your cats?” “😳”

“Do you turn, or do you stay true to your path?” Oh, so we’re doing an Orpheus now?

Hestia♥️

If you have to pick Olympians to fight, who do you choose?

Plot twist: it’s Jeff Goldblum-Zeus from Kaos

Begs the question: did they make mini’s for all the Olympians?

Well, technically Hades is Zeus’ big brother, but you know

The full Ralph Fiennes in Clash of the Titans-voice

There’ve been so many nat 20s this finale

I bet Zeus has a big dick. And we know what the ancient Greeks thought about that

Seriously, look that up if you don’t know, it’s such funny and honestly fair reasoning

Adonis really said “per my last e-mail”

Got a Eugenia Shadow flashback at Hades’ “lozers”

Pulling an Ally Beardsley, I see

Titan Takedown 🤝Death-associated deities being annoyed with cats having nine lives🤝Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

“This is a show about math” Truly

In case I haven’t said it before, Hades is the god of the dead and the underworld, not the god of death. No Thanatos-erasure here

Stfu Orpheus you had one job. That was on you. I like you, but come on. Accountability, man

🎶 Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves🎶

Tabatha would love that one Greek island that’s just swarmed with cats

I’ll stick with my argument about Adonis and Hades from episode one, but I do like the connection to the Underworld and the ability to let people speak to their dead loved ones in the epilogue

Just tell Dynamus the Olympics are done naked, he’ll be on board

Already planning the sequel

Bonus: Not Parlor Room dunking on Hermes and Iris-

What so you mean “Is he even a god?” He’s the messenger and trickster god! He’s a goddamn psychopomp—

Please stop making me hungry

Yesssss Brienne!!

Fuck all y’all, Brienne will always be beautiful

Stfu Tarly and sit your arse down

Love Renly, the dandy motherfucker (affectionately)

Deliberate or not, that sounds like an Ophelia reference to me

Not Tyrion looting from Pycelle’s stash🤣

Plot twist: both letters say ‘Mind your own business, sweet sister. Love, Tyrion.’

We love some casual Joffrey slander

I see Baelish has joined Renly’s fashion police force

George R.R. Martin is the fashion police commissioner, obviously

“Dancing and sewing” Arya wouldn’t be caught dead sewing if she could help it

Who said chivalry was dead

Me. I said that

You may find the dog’s loyalty preferable to the knight’s chivalry in the future

That girl is gonna get you in trouble

Finally, someone talking some sense

Bless your precious heart, Gendry

“What if the wolves come?” “Yield” You could’ve seen that coming

RPing Medusa has got to do a number on Brennan’s voice

Shout out to Grams

Arachne, chill

So how close is the Pactolus river?

Fucking Poseidon. Where’s Odysseus at?

When Brennan started grunting/chanting, I half expected the Hoot Growl-animation to pop up on the screens

Hermes!!!

The twins!!

My reaction to this Apollo is the same as Hermes’ in Troy Doherty’s God Games vid. “APollO! Pfffft boo dawling!”

“Aphrodite is not always reasonable” She’s reasonable sometimes?

Love a high int high wis player. Love a high int high wis person in general

(Cinematic booms at each bird) I love Dropout subtitles

“I don’t think he gets advantage”. The dice, making him roll a five twice: “Agreed”

“Do you want me to do it?” Tabatha I love you

Oh plot twist

Ohhhh Echo was in The Cursed

Cerberus? A villain? Little Spot? Nah no way

Brennan loves that mic and I can’t blame him

Brennan busting out that maffia voice again, ya love to see it

The pure glee at the nat 20

Not Brennan lowering his voice an octave to say “Kitty will be fine”

That’s not reassuring, dude

I guess kitty is fine

Hera won’t care if Argus dies? I guess Resurrection exists

You go, you Ekko-ass motherfucker

That’s what you get when your DM’s a philosophy major

"I hate to do that to my players" Not with that big grin, you don't
