Came across this part during my reread and remember what Arya said about Ned's and felt some deep sadness

To the ones who thought Daenerys' turn came out of left field
1) There are multiple scenes where Daenerys makes a decision and has to be coaxed into a more pacifist option.
2) Her story began with a dishonorable family, a brother who sold her to be raped by a barbarian, how she engaged and adopted the Dothraki's culture, how she opted for violent retiribution which WORKED most of the time, how Robert's entire council in Season 1 tried to tell Ned how dangerous she could/would be. She spends a good amount of time motivated to take the Seven Kingdoms back.
3) The scene where Varys alluded to Danerys gathering strength and how eventually "there would be nowhere to hide" right as fire took over the screen.
4) Daenerys' mental state was being ground into beef jerky the entire last two seasons - from her only link to her good sibling was murdered in a senseless squabble, how her only friend was sentenced to death, how her dragon was killed and possessed, and then she fell in love with someone who is both related to her and a direct threat to her right to rule, shortly after which her friend and bodyguard died protecting her, after which her second dragon died and then her only other friend was killed in front of her - and then by cosmic levels of irony it turned out that had she stormed King's Landing from the start, Cersei would have surrendered and avoided all of those deaths.
5) This is a story where the honorable man died in dishonor, how the spiteful widow repented only to killed out of spite, how an evil king got to make everyone's lives worse for several seasons, and where a dishonorable man and an unrepentnant spiteful if not outright evil woman died in each others' embrace.
It seemed to me the messiah character was always going to choose blood.
Should Daenerys have stayed in Mereen? Absolutely. That is the tragedy of it all.
Ned shouldn't have told Cersei anything.
Cersei shouldn't have hated Tyrion.
Tyrion should have left with Shae.
Stannis should have stayed at Castle Black and not pressed forward.
Renly should have taken Stannis' offer.
Jaime shouldn't have loved Cersei and should have stayed with Brienne.
Sansa shouldn't have lied for Joffrey's sake.
Etc.
This whole story is a series of "if only someone had given them a happier choice."

People be saying (If only Robert, Renly, and Stannis got along, the seven kingdoms would've been better), LMFAO, that's the whole reason, they couldn't get along in the first place no matter what because the three loath each other

How does Arya’s mask and voice work? *spoiler all GOT
I’ve never seen the show or read the books. But I’ve just seen a clip of Arya wearing the face of Walden Frey and she poisons a bunch of people
How does the mask and voice work? Surely there’s magic? Cause wearing a dead persons face would just look like Arya stark wearing a dead persons face
And the voice too
Not a criticism, just genuinely curious of the explanation the show/ books give

What’s a piece of foreshadowing that people often overlook when discussing the show?
I’m talking specifically the show. For me it’s the whole “if you didn’t know it was coming, there was no major foreshadowing of the red wedding” um yes. There very emphatically was. “Tell Robb Stark I’m sorry I couldn’t make his Uncles Wedding. The Lannisters send their regards” is the most obvious foreshadowing I have ever seen and I have not seen it brought up once. Like the red wedding was planned by that point. Unless this is some kind of obvious story beat that nobody is discussing because it’s that obvious, I don’t get how people can say the show doesn’t allude directly to the red wedding before it happens. In the books those visions and snide comments made it almost obvious what was coming, but I see those talked about all the time. Are there any more things like this in the show that people see to just constantly overlook?

I created a daily Game of Thrones guessing game
Hey everyone,
I built a small fan-made project called GoTdle - a daily guessing game inspired by Wordle, but for Game of Thrones.
Each day you guess:
\- A character (with hints on every wrong guess)
\- A quote
\- A house banner
I hope that this is something the community will enjoy and have fun each day.
👉 https://www.gotdle.com/
I would love feedback (and ideas for new features). Feel free to DM me or send me an email:
📩 support@gotdle.com
DISCLAIMER: The game is completely free, no ads and no monetization. All intellectual property rights remain the property of their respective owners. No copyright infringement is intended.

How did dragons get food?
In the ancient past, when there were thousands of dragons, how was there enough food for all of them? I mean, if all of them are carnivores, imagine how many animals were needed for thousands of dragons to be sustained.

Imagine if Arya had a conversation with the Lannister bros about Tywin.
Remember when Arya served as Tywin's cupbearer, and he put into her head the idea of passing on the legacy of your family?
When they all eventually met up at Winterfell, I actually kinda wish that Arya sat down with Jaime and Tyrion and mentioned how she met their father. Imagine Arya, Jaime, and Tyrion talking about the lessons Tywin taught them about legacy, and comparing those lessons to Ned's teachings about honor.
That was a missed opportunity.
