Queen Cersei Lannister, as described in ASOIAF

"Mounted on her white palfrey, Cersei towered high above him, a goddess in green."

"Cersei fixed him with those clear green eyes of hers, beautiful even in their contempt."

"At the council table, Queen Cersei shimmered in a cloth-of-gold gown slashed in burgundy velvet."

"She had never looked more beautiful than she did that day, with a smile on her lips and the autumn sunlight shining on her golden hair. Whatever else one might say about his sister, she did know how to make men love her when she cared enough to try."

"Cersei Lannister's face seemed to float before him in the darkness. Her hair was full of sunlight, but there was mockery in her smile. 'When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die,' she whispered."

i hate the idea of sansa ending up as this cold ice queen when through out the books one of her defining characteristics has been kindness. kindness to dontos when joffrey wanted him executed, kindness to the woman with the baby during the riot, kindness to an injured lancel despite cersei's words, kindness through warning margaery of the type of person joffrey is, kindness to sandor clegane and sweetrobin in the vale. sansa even says that once she was queen, she'd wish to rule with kindness when cersei encourages her to rule with fear during the battle of the blackwater. i cant imagine a world where grrm would genuinely go with the idea that only once you refuse love and warmth can you rule

jaime returning to king’s landing in ASOS after the painful aerys-trauma-induced catharsis of the harrenhal baths only to return to his siblings Tyrion ‘set the blackwater ablaze’ Lannister and Cersei ‘let’s blow up the red keep’ Lannister. his life is so tragically hilarious

smth so insanely poetic about this.

a title cersei undoubtedly styled herself with and which references nothing but her beauty vs brienne as future heir of evenfall hall and bright spot in the darkness of westeros, casterly rock and tarth, west and east, light = day and evenstar = night, but actually the sun goes down in the west and with it darkness falls and the night comes, while in tarth they are the first to see both the stars and the dawn.

both these women were jaime‘s guiding lights in so many ways, but while cersei left him in the darkness in his weirwood dream, brienne stayed by his side, and her light burned 'til the very end.

"alicent's character is ruined!!" "she has turned her back on her kids and aegon!!" "she's just dumbly going along with aegon being killed!!"

this entire season alicent hightower has been trying to desperately come up with the best plan that will leave most of her family somewhat intact after this war. she is still pleading for aegons' life to rhaenyra, but knows deep down that they have already gone too far and had enough blood shed where the chances of him leaving this war alive are slim to none. she also KNOWS at this point that rhaenyra has the upper hand in the war and could easily come into kings landing and just annihilate all of them. so if she knows that she can't likely save aegons life (who she sees as already destroyed by his burns and in constant pain and might not even live anyway), and she can't stop aemond from continously adding fuel to the fire (and who she thinks is becoming a monster in his own right), but she can at least still try and save helaena and her grandchild, and even possibly go find her youngest son daeron and save him from being brought into the war as well

i will be the first to say that the writing on hotd isnt stellar, but saying that alicent is "ruined" and that she's turned her back on her children isn't a fair statement, she's just knows that they are currently on the losing side of the war right now, and rather than see her daughter and last son get pulled into it and watch all of her kids die one after the other, or become maimed in battle, she instead pleads to rhaenyra that she can open the gates to spare as many lives as possible. to say that it isn't in alicents wheelhouse to risk her sons life to save the rest of her kids and remaining grandchild when backed into a corner is a disservice to her character. it doesn't make her hate aegon or love him any less, she is just stuck between a rock and a hard place, so she does all of this to save her family at the risk of being accused of treason and losing her own head

MALI’S 22K CELEBRATION ✶ CERSEI LANNISTER ↬🌷+ sansa or margaery or alicent or cersei (for @elena-gilbert)

[hargitays]

rereading a feast for crows and i have many thoughts about how the show has always misunderstood and misportrayed cersei as a character. lena headey plays cersei wonderfully! but the material she was given is a shell of book cersei. i might write more about this later.
