An old-old-old fanart of Arya leaving the Hound back and heading to Braavos (my favourite scene from both series and books). I still like how it turned out, though it has some flaws..

This is a special piece I made for Hero Complex Gallery celebrating the new season of Game of Thrones! Not sure when prints will drop online, but I’ll post when they do.
that scene where Jaime kills Cersei in the throne room with his Ned’s Valyrian steel, claiming justice on behalf of the Starks and fulfilling Maggy the Frog’s prophecy? or when Cersei stabbed him with a knife and he staggered forward and collapsed on the Iron Throne, mirroring when he killed the Mad King? i especially loved when Daenerys walks in and sees his corpse sitting there and understands what he did.
and the part where Sandor cuts of the Mountain’s head and leaves his body burning? talk about symbolism! i’m especially glad that they didn’t kill Sandor off unnecessarily. i also really liked how he lost his eye in the fight and used the strip of cloth to bind it and how it made him look just like Beric.
that part where Grey Worm stopped the Northmen from killing the unarmed Lannister soldiers was really cool too. you could see how conflicted he was about it, but he knew he couldn’t lose himself to hate. i knew he wouldn’t betray Missandei’s memory.
i was certainly concerned about Daenerys throughout the episode, but she really came through in the end. when she realized that Cersei had hidden casks of wildfire around the city and knew that she couldn’t risk the lives of the civilians with her dragonfire. and how she instead flew straight to the Red Keep to take the fight directly to Cersei? really really good.
when Arya saw Gendry across the battlefield and tried to maker it to him but was being held back by the crowds? that was incredible. and how he could hear her scream his name over the noise of the battle and ran towards her voice even when he couldn’t see her? i can’t wait to see them reunite in the next episode.
I read this damn post back when GOT was ending and thought all was well, since I hadn’t been able to finish the show just yet.
Catching up with RWBY and this iconic moment got me wanting to do a screencap redraw, so here it is! A bit more reddish because my eyes enjoy looking at warm colors
So I really really loved this episode! Probably one of my favs.
I have to admit the whole episode was a bit dark. I had to roll down my blinds so that my room was pitch black and even then some scenes were hard to see, but that’s what made me feel like I was there - the characters had no idea what was going on and neither had we!
The episode started out great - everyone’s quiet and preparing for battle.
When all the Dothraki started charging at the army of the dead and the light of their swords slowly faded had me shocked. I mean, I was expecting them to be at a disadvantage but losing so fast? Holy shit.
The whole fighting kept me at the edge of my seat but mostly because I was scared for Brianne and Jaime - love them.
Also, Theon. I had my problems with Theon but started to love him again and now… I still don’t want to believe he’s dead. What about Sansa? They had great chemistry and I was rooting for them even though I expected him to die - fighting and protecting Bran.
So, I’m not the biggest Arya fan but she was KILLING it this episode - literally. Did not expect her to kill the Night King. But is he really dead tho? It seemed a little… easy.
Also, I love Sansa and Tyrion - as team and as individuals. Like Sansa said, he really was the best husband. I know they didn’t/don’t love each other like that but at least he didn’t abuse her.
Before I say nothing about Dany and Jon. I was worried they’d be tension between those two but in the end they fought side by side and Dany even saved Jon when he was surrounded by wights. Furthermore, I’m happy no more dragons died. And ghost is alive too!!!
To sum up, I loved the episode. I see people complain about it being to dark but that’s just how it is. The fight took place during night and with limited light available and it gave us this mysterious setting. I cried a few times a lot and can’t wait how they are gonna take on Cersei!
Joffrey- Well struck Dog! Did you like that? Sansa- It was well struck, Your Grace. Joffrey- I already said it was well struck. Sansa- Yes, Your Grace. Joffrey- Who’s next? Herald- Lothor Brune, freerider in the service of Lord Baelish. Ser Dontos the Red, of House Hollard. Ser Dontos the Red of House Hollard! Ser Dontos- Here I am! Here I am! Sorry, Your Grace. My deepest apologies. Joffrey- Are you drunk? Ser Dontos- No. I..no, Your Grace..I..I had two cups of wine. Joffrey- Two cups? That’s not much at all. Please, have another cup. Ser Dontos- Are you sure, Your Grace? Joffrey- Yes, celebrate my name day. Have two. Have as much as you’d like. Ser Dontos- I’d be honored, Your Grace. Joffrey- Ser Meryn, help Ser Dontos celebrate my name day. See that he drinks his fill. Sansa- You can’t! Joffrey- What did you say? Did you say I can’t? Sansa- I only meant it would be bad luck to kill a man on your name day. Joffrey- What kind of stupid peasant superstition? Sandor-The girl is right. What a man sows on his name day, he reaps all year. Joffrey- Send him away. I’ll have him killed tomorrow, the fool. Sansa- He is. A fool. You’re so clever to see it. He’ll make a much better fool than a knight. He doesn’t deserve the mercy of a quick death. Joffrey- Did you hear my lady, Ser Dontos? From this day you’ll be my new fool! Ser Dontos- Thanks you, Your Grace. And you, my lady. Thank you.
If you’ve only watched HBO’s “Game of Thrones”, you don’t know the whole story of Sansa and The Hound!
As war and green wildfire rage through the city outside, political prisoner & King Joffrey’s betrothed Sansa Stark flees to the safety of her bedchambers, only to be confronted by Joffrey’s sworn shield, Sandor “The Hound” Clegane, who has abandoned his post and come to Sansa, the one person to whom he’s confided his greatest secret and whom he has tried to protect from Joffrey’s cruelties, in a moment that’s a culmination of the building tension between these two unlikeliest of allies, which will have a profound lasting impact on them both…
This is what REALLY happened between Sansa and Sandor as written by George R.R. Martin in his best-selling fantasy novel, ‘A Clash of Kings’…
So excited for the premiere tonight! But nothing will ever replace my favorite pair of sassy shits wandering through the wilderness, stabbing fools and looking for Lommys.
