lalalalala, so the latest episode was terrible and I don’t want to engage with 98% of it but still, can we talk about the blocking of that bottom shot because damn. Obsessed with the way they frame Cersei and Tyrion around the corners of tables, literally turning them into the sharp opposing points of a triangle and the fact there’s always a body’s gap in between the two. Because correct, yes, this is precisely what they are - capable of functioning alongside one another but only as part of a wider triumvirate not along the binary dynamic they’re forced into in their brother’s absence. Particularly fixated with the shadowy presence of the member of the Kingsguard in the second cap as though Jaime’s courtly skeleton has literally been propped up between them - the Knight, the missing third in their soldier/sovereign/statesman triptych whom they both spend the season scrambling to try to find a substitute for (and failing). Cersei attempts it with Lancel, errant boy-child who can’t begin to fill the blood-stained greaves his cousin leaves behind and Tyrion with Bronn, self-serving, self-preserving sellsword extraordinaire who puts Jaime’s lack of loyalty into harsh perspective. Just, urgh, kids, kids dancing around the ragged edges their brother leaves in his wake and trying to operate within the negative spaces of their triangular relationship and not being able to because there’s no centre to hold them together, hits me in way too many soft spots. And hats off to HBO for getting that, if nothing else, and manifesting it beautifully in these two visuals.

I’ve changed my mind.

 #the sinuous performative openness of the way she moves in this scene jesus CHRIST #trying to find Just The Right gifset #(i’m obsessed with that frame with the cloaks spreading out around her like the points of a bright red star)#but god; god #the restrained glee in her voice at simply getting to say—CUT HIS THROAT #the way she laughs here #the way she makes the guards move in tiny petty increments #caging them in her commands; caging littlefinger in their proximity #the control she has #the rare unreal control that she never gets in positions of actual political import #and the mix of restraint and revelry with which she wields it #it’s performance #it’s all performance #but she lives for it—and lives by it #game of thrones #my fierce vicious gilded queen
