Cersei when the plot to kill Robert succeeds

[sare11aa11eras]

Did Cersei have the Rhaegar’s Ruby Mourning Dress ready to go. Did she commission it two months ago or ten years ago or literally the day Robert comes back from the hunt. Did 50 seamstresses work frantically for five days trying to put all the fucking rubies on that gown so Cersei could have her Moment. What prompted her to go “you know what would be funny? Wearing a gown inspired by Rhaegar’s armor as my principal mourning attire when my husband dies”? I need to know these things!!!!

lannicest is such a top tier ship though because they are the absolute originators of weird incest. no one does circular family trees quite like these two weirdos. all other incest ships are like “oh god, we shouldn’t do this, i can’t, oh god, you’re my brother!” and then they slip up and feel horrible about it or they don’t even know they’re related and find out later and are subsequently completely horrified and that’s all fine and dandy, to each their own, but you just gotta respect how nonchalant cersaime are about the inbreeding they’ve got going on. like yes, i’ll call you brother during sex and i’m gonna waterboard a nun while telling her how good it feels to have your genetically familiar dick inside of me. the fact that we’re twins makes it even better. we’re so fucked up that it’s rubbing off on pur younger brother who wants to fuck both of us. when you’re not around i’ll make do and sleep with our cousin because i can’t handle dick that isn’t at least on the adjacent branch of the family tree. you ask the woman you’re attracted to if she’s a lannister during one of your less unromantic interactions and while she interprets it as an insult, we both know what you mean. we’re what would have happened to the ashford twins if capcom had walked the mile and committed to making code veronica even more uncomfortable. they’re absolutely fucking unmatched in just how weird they are. no one does it like them. absolute hats off to grrm for committing to making them capital h horrible. i’d kill for both of them.

I think they're doing us a disservice in writing villains. I mean we don't have iconic villains who are women. Furthermore, for me, films like Maleficent are terrible because they deprive us of the few villains we had, transforming them into poor victims. I love complex villains with tragic backstories, but to me that should never undermine the characters. A well-constructed great villain for me is Cersei Lannister, but we have few such examples, because usually female villains are either sketched superficially or shown as crazy. Bellatrix has been done a disservice to me in the movies because in the books she isn't crazy and making her so weakens her as a villain to me. In House of the Dragon I'm not too fond of making Rhaenyra and Alicent so calm, contrasted with men ready for war, while in the books they were both pro-war. I want bad women who are similar to Homelander, with a past that can explain why they are evil but without blaming them for such cruelty. I want to know how they became monsters and I don't want to excuse them for it. I don't want the comedy of errors or even the excuse of madness. I want great ironic villains who make me love the hatred I have for them.

I love that one of the roles fire plays in this series is to represent how all consuming desire can be, and how it’s framed as something that can be world ending when uncontrolled.

So naming unnatural, untamable green fire ‘wildfire’ is therefore a stroke of genius. It’s the representation of how we humans manufacture our own doom in the pursuit power, of how uncontrolled desire will eventually blow up in our faces.

And the fact that barrels and barrels of it sit fermenting under Kings Landing, Westeros’s breeding ground of maniac desire, and the capital the ambitious and corrupt flock to for what it promises? It’s perfection!

Cersei being still so in love with Rhaegar and Aurane Waters being his carbon copy and how it just hits her is so funny to me cause she loses a whole fleet of drummonds to him 😭

Everything that leads to Cersei’s downfall and imprisonment by the High Sparrow can be traced back to making Aurane Waters her Grand Admiral instead of taking Jamie’s advice and choosing Paxter Redwyne.

I don’t even think that Aurane Waters was always planning to betray Cersei. I like this character because he knows he can get even more out of her. She had been thinking about giving him lands and making him a Lord in truth. That's crazy. The second she falls from power, he understands that the fleet can easily be taken from him and given to a different Lord Admiral. Aurane was smart and made sure the crews were captained and crewed by men loyal to him. So the second the queen is arrested he just peaces out and takes the fleet with him.

Cersei gives way to much power to a bastard who reminds her of Rhaegar and creates a domino effect that crushes her. She wants no Tyrells on her small council, her allies who fought for her on the Blackwater. Aurane Waters was fighting in that battle but on the other side…

Damn I love Cersei lol

Great complex villain.

"Must?" She put her hand on his good leg, just above the knee. "A true man does what he will, not what he must." Her fingers brushed lightly against his thigh, the gentlest of promises. "The realm needs a strong Hand. Joff will not come of age for years. No one wants war again, least of all me." Her hand brushed his face, his hair. "If friends become enemies, enemies can become friends. Your wife is a thousand leagues away, and my brother has fled. Be kind to me, Ned. I swear to you, you shall never regret it."

"Did you make the same offer to Jon Arryn?"

She slapped him

man i love cersei... like even in her name, she's implied to be this seductress or femme fatale, who usually would have a kind of subtle power or ability to manipulate people, but the thing is she's not. she's not very good at that kind of thing to be honest, when she tries.

Bro the Targaryen costumes are so grim and dull coloured most of the time, it's just black and red and an even deeper red or just grey and black. Possibly the only Targaryen who got to wear the best clothes was Daenerys and that was because she wore all types of colours and fabrics. At least Alicent has variations in her green colour and patterns like deep green floral design or all plain.

Game of thrones had a lot better costumes and Cersei had the best ones her gowns were crimson,blue,black,pink&gold with those flowy sleeves and snatched waists and also those metallic corset armor. She and Alicent are the best dressed Queens. Targs really need to step up their fashion game (they have cool war armor though)

Addam Velaryon: I’m gonna fight and sacrifice myself to prove that bastards are not traitors! We are no turncloaks! We are brave and loyal and …

Aurane Waters, 200 years later: nevermind, I’M TAKING THE SHIPS!!!

[lifesizejosuke]

can you imagine where after the third asoiaf book instead of following up with What Happens Next, grrm just writes a novella called a Feast of Frostlight where the lannisters have a winter solstice party and have to give each other gifts. as much as i play in sjm’s face i think that would have fucking ruled actually.
