The genius of Game of Thrones is that, even after watching scores of your favourite characters get brutally murdered before your eyes, it can still hold out a tiny, feeble branch of hope that something in Westeros might have a happy ending.

LOVE IS REAL, DAMN IT.

#Briemund has already inspired several Libraries of Alexandrias worth of fanfic, but they’re far more suited to the most romantic genre of all — the terrible ’90s romantic comedy, hammy voiceovers and all.

“When fate brings them together…can THEIR walls come down?” I would watch this movie until my eyes bled.
