Game of Thrones Season 8 is two episodes deep and tensions have been high.
Pressure changes people. Like a diamond, some blossom. Others crack. Daenerys Targaryen belongs to the latter group of people- pressure does not look good on her.
We’ve always known Dany is goal-driven and a badass, but her desire to be queen has made her into an ugly power-hungry sub-human and she’s quickly slipping from the top spot as my favourite Thrones character.
The more she reminds people that she is their queen and demands respect, the more she slips down my own respect metre.
Seriously, I just want to punch her smug face.
If you ask me, she’s more likely to go mad/get killed than sit on the Iron Throne. But there IS one title that I will happily give Daenerys: Meme Queen.
Because of this stunning still that came out of this week’s episode:
The Mother of Dragons squint says “I’m only being nice to you because I have to” and is applicable to many of life’s situations.
Them: “I don’t understand, why are you still single?”. Me:
“Do you have more sizes in the back?”
“What a cute baby!”
“I’d like to speak to your supervisor.”
“Did you just fart?”
Me: “I’m FINE.” Also me:
On behalf of the people of the internet I would like to issue a big thank you to Daenerys Targaryen for providing us with this priceless content.
She won’t get the Iron Throne, but she does have great meme status and that’s gotta count for something.
