Check out my Daenerys Targaryen necklace DIY if you too share my obcession!
I recent started to watch Game of Throne, and I just cannot
stop myself from watching it!!! I do not think any of my friends watch it, and
I just need to discuss it with someone, anyone, so I chose the interest. Where
to begin? I personally really like the Lannisters. Character-wise, I like more
members of the Lannister family than the Starks. Ned, Bran and Ricken Starks,
as Baelish puts it, is just so good, so good to the point of BORING! I do not like Catelyn Stark mainly because she
was not good to Jon Snow, and Sansa is an idiot who kind of deserved what she
got. I mean Ned tried to send her away, but she refused and wanted to stay by
Joffrey’s side, and that’s exactly what she got. I guess the Starks did not
teach their daughter how to judge a person’s character.
Robb Stark got
cocky after winning a few fights and thought he can do whatever he wanted, and
that was the beginning of his down fall. By the end, he was so full of himself
that he thought he was already the king. And that wife of his, Talisa, knew
Robb was promised to another but still could not keep her hands off of him. Their
marriage started and ended in a horrible way, but I cannot say I did not see it
coming. I remember one guys said “The war was lost when you married her
(Talisa)” and he was right. I like Arya
Stark and Jon Snow well enough, but the rest of their family really brought
down the average score for the Stark family.
In contrast, I liked the Lannisters the best, with the
exception of Joffrey of course. I can even find it in my heart to forgive
Cersei. I mean, she really did love the king once and wanted a different way of
life, but it was Robert’s 30 years of emotional affair with Lyanna Stark that made
Cersei the way she is. I mean, as a woman, I can totally understand if my
husband marries me but does not love me, I would want to take everything away
from him including his kingdom. Thus Cersei is forgiven. As for Joffrey, can you
really be mad at a psychopath??? I mean it’s not his fault that he was born out of
an incestuous relationship, besides, Tyrion and Tywin Lannister mocked him
enough to offer me some relief from wanting to kick him and make him cry, and
then I will point and laugh at him!! AHAHAHAHAAHA! He did eventually die, so I
will not speak too ill of the dead.
My favour character from the whole series has to be Tyrion
Lannister. I mean I have always liked my man smart, and I would pick a smart
man over a handsome man any day of the week. I mean he used his intelligence to
compensate for his height and played the game well as the hand of the king. Is not he
the only hand of the king that lived? Besides, in the first episode (I think)
he slapped Joffrey multiple times (awesomeness!). He helped Jon snow and did
not take advantage of Sansa when he had the right to (They were married for heaven`s sakes. He is nice to his servants. But
I like him mostly because his is smart. Can you tell I really like a smart
man?
Jamie and Tywin Lannister won points for being really handsome. I think
they killed too many people for my likeing, but how else can you lead an army
and fight battles. I respect that they do not kill senselessly (as far as I recall). I try not to think about Jamie
and Cersei and how he nearly killed Bran. I blame it on the hormones… I do credit
him for saving the whole population of King’s landing by killing the mad king, rescuing Brienne of Tarth and Tyrion. And when Aray briefly served Tywin, he was pretty
nice to her.
While I say I like the Lannisters, I do not think they are without faults, but at least they are interesting. And with Joffery dead, I think they
are pretty much perfect in my book.
My other favourite female character has to be Margaery
Tyrell. Are you thinking “What? What
about Daenerys Targaryan?” I mean it’s
is one thing to be beautiful and hatch dragons, it is quite another to be able
to manipulate Joffery. Margaery is pretty, and smart enough to have Joffery
wrapped around her finger. That’s far more than what Sansa can do. And she is a
genuinely nice person, always a bonus.
I guess I should say something about Daenerys Targaryan,
seeing she will probably rule Westeros in the end. But this is Game of Thrones,
people drop dead like flies. I bet no one thought Ned Stark would die in the
first season. Daenerys is just fine. She is pretty, she has the right blood
line, and she is not afraid of fire. Tyrion’s little trick during the battle of
black water would have probably done very little damage to Daenerys. I guess I
am not too into Daenerys because she is not a part of the story yet, she does
her own thing separate from everyone else who is in Westeros. Maybe I will like
her better when she eventually goes into battle.
Ah~ I feel better now. Hope I did not give away too many
spoilers. At this point of the show, I am getting a little confused by the
sheer number of characters involved, there are too many story lines to follow
form the different characters…. Still an exciting show none the less.
