#DARLING #how can anyone watch this scene and still assert she’s weak? #look at her #look at her only willing to deign to argue with her husband in pure militaristic terms #she’s a soldier who goes to war everyday #in the battleground of her own body which is unwillingly given to someone else #and she knows #she knows the extent of the injustice which is perpetrated against her#she has the self-worth and self-awareness to know she deserves better than robert fucking baratheon #and that line #power resides where men believe it resides#doesn’t apply to the male characters in the series #it applies to the women #that’s why they use it as a voiceover for cersei and sansa in the trailer #not anyone else#because patriarchal power structures cease to exist once you cease to believe in them #cersei lannister is not about to be cowed into thinking she has to have her husband’s children because society decrees it so #she will possess the power to decide who does what to her body thank you very much #urgh I LOVE HER SO MUCH #the queen who used motherhood to wage a war #life-giving force turned into a malevolent and destructive one #p e r f e c t
How can anyone watch this scene and still assert she’s weak? Look at her, look at her only willing to deign to argue...
