08. [SPOILERS for Game of Thrones]
[WARNING for rape]

Hmm, I think on one hand it's an amazing character arch, especially for a female character. And I think people realize that.

On the other hand, she's also cruel and vengeful, and an awful person.

The two are not mutually exclusive, but tumblr tends to have a problem with nuance.

You don't really seem to understand that people don't necessarily mean they approve of her actions as in they'd approve them in real life. Often when people say those things they mean they approve in a story sense. Villains are (or at least can be) interesting. It was a pretty awesome action from a literary sense. I certainly don't approve of murder, but I enjoyed the story.

It can be really hard to internalize that people are cheering for the event to happen in a fictional fantasy, that they have *no* approval whatsoever for that thing in real life and don't support it or think it's okay at all.

Cersei is an amazing character but in real life we'd all want her safely locked in prison for the rest of her life.

Also: yeah that costume sucks.

My admiration was more, "Damn, this psycho bitch is compelling to watch." I cringed at Unella, though. Even being a religious fanatic/the world's driest cheerleader does not earn you being raped to death by a zombie. Cersei is a monster. :[

"the world's driest cheerleader"

I laughed too hard at this! Shame on me. (Not by her, tho.)

Since she's got nothing left to lose she leveled up into a complete Disney villain and damn do I look forward to all the crazy evil shit she'll pull until someone strangles her.

People cheer for villains all the time.

I love her as a character but she's an absolutely wretched human being and her actions are vile, she deserves whatever fate she has coming to her but I'll enjoy watching her fuck shit up in the meantime.

Did you really expect anything different from the place that said male prison rape was social justice in action?

I agree with you to a point. But I thought her plan to get back at the Sept was great.

So is her outfit. MAN that dress is pretty.

But the bit with the Mountain was...no. Why did we even have to go there?

They had to come up with an act so vile that it would make us understand that Cersei is unambiguously evil now.

Given how little we sympathise with her enemies, that has to take some doing.

To set Cersei up unambiguously as the next Mad King Aerys. No excuses, no "she just murdered them because she had to", just one utterly vile, vicious, and vindictive act to show that she's taken a flying leap off the slippery slope.

The thing is, Cersei WAS awesome that entire episode. Getting all her enemies in one place and then blowing the Sept to the high heavens? Holy shit.

That doesn't mean anything she did was justifiable, and it doesn't mean people who praise the performance condone her actions in the least. Of course everything she did was completely fucked up and wrong. It's a story, not a model to live your life by or a lesson to apply to the world (unless, of course, the lesson is "watch that crazy bitch, she's up to no good").

Where are people saying this?

Getting on the topic of costumes: was this show even nominated for costume design? There were plenty of good costumes on this show, especially the women (mostly Daenerys' dresses, especially her purple gown from s1 and Sansa's collection of dresses as well).

1. It's fiction. She didn't kill real people. She's not real.
2. We cheer because what she did is brilliant. Not good. Not something I'd ever want to happen in real life because I lived through 9/11 and that was a God Damn Nightmare and she is TrutherWank made real(NOT REAL)
3. THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU THAT DRESS WAS FIRE
4. But I'd have liked it to be a jumper. That would be nuclear fire.

5. I hope Jamie kills her. Or Brienne.
6. OMG JAMIENNE CAN KILL HER.

Your point #2 is confusing to me. The bombing, like most of Cersei's moves, was the exact opposite of brilliant. "A stupid person's idea of smart" is kind of her signature style, in fact. She solves the most obvious problem in front of her that she can see, but she never, ever thinks about the repercussions of her actions. However, it's actively confusing to me that you can call that bombing brilliant when we, unlike her, actually got to watch the repercussions of her actions play out in that same episode. Did you... skip that part?

Nayrt but maybe this is the cooloquial brilliant that has nothing to do with intelligence but rather means "fantastic/great/rad/supercalifragilistiexpialigocious"? I often see it used that way by brits.

I don't want either Jaime or Brienne to kill Cersei. Cersei has stained Jaime's life enough, and murdering his sister and former lover is one more thing he doesn't need branded on his soul. And Brienne has no real beef with Cersei, unless Jaime gets killed and it's Cersei's fault. And that's one outcome they can throw away in the privy.

Cersei should by either by her own hand (accidental), by one of her haters or followers (Gregor or Qyburn, Arya, Martells, assassin hired by Olenna), or just randomly eaten by a dragon. But before she dies, she should gain the knowledge that Jaime and Brienne are in love and fucking. Bonus points if they're married and Brienne is visibly pregnant. I'd like for Cersei to be all WTF because she can't understand 1) how her brother could ever lose interest in her awesome queenness, 2) how her brother could leave her awesome queenness for the likes of Brienne, and 3) how her brother could possibly find happiness after leaving her awesome queenness, and through methods that don't involve mass murder.

There's no indication that he's going to rape her. We don't even know if he has a working dick in the state he's in right now. He certainly doesn't have any free will of his own so whatever it is he'll do to her will be whatever Cercei told him to do to her. And this nun in particular was a person who was just as torture-happy as Cercei is, so it's a poetic justice for her.

lmao

We don't even know if he has a working dick in the state he's in right now.

Everything else works, why would his dick be the one thing that doesn't?

He certainly doesn't have any free will of his own so whatever it is he'll do to her will be whatever Cercei told him to do to her.

And if she tells Gregor to rape Unella, you think he won't? Or at least won't try?

Rape and murder were the Mountain's MO in life, I can't see why the zombie version would be any different?

"So Lord Tywin's dog Ser Gregor Clegane, the Mountain, made Elia watch as he murdered her daughter and dashed her infant son's head against a wall. Then with her baby's blood still on his hands, he raped Elia and murdered her."

Isn't Cersei supposed to be insane, delusional, and entirely incompetent? Why is she suddenly a mastermind?

All I can think is "wow, she really looks like that Vulcan chick from Enterprise."
