Danny lets out a long groan as he enters his apartment.

He’s dead tired— hehe, ‘dead’ tired— due to an exhausting schoolday and having been unable to fall back asleep last night after what happened.

So sure, he might have started having a panic attack when he got back to his apartment when what he had just done had finally fully sunken in.

And he might have spiraled even more, even going as far as to try and trap himself in a Fenton thermos, thinking he was back on the path to becoming Dan.

Luckily for him, a green sticky note, left by his favorite unnecessarily cryptic mentor, appeared.

It let him know that he is no more on the path to becoming Dan than prior to the incident and that the actions he had taken that night, while vexatious, were necessary for the betterment of the timeline.

Whatever that means.

By the time he had come to terms with his actions enough to stop spiraling and remember that he has school soon. He checked the time, noticing that he only had a few minutes left until his next class started.

Which meant he had to sprint to his classes and start the day off already tired and emotionally drained. He hadn’t even been able to at least get a coffee beforehand. And so he spent the rest of the day fighting to stay awake during his lessons, sporting eye bags big enough to carry the weight of his sins.

Danny glances at the space-themed clock on the wall that Jazz had gotten him as a housewarming gift. 6 pm. He should probably get started on dinner.

Deciding to go with something simple, as he simply does not have the energy for anything fancy right now, Danny opens the cupboard and grabs the first thing he sees: a box of mac n cheese. Danny rubs his eyes and squints at the box, trying to read the instructions when he gets interrupted by a knock.

…

On his window.

…

Danny turns around to see Red Hood at his window, outside of his 3rd-floor apartment. He pauses before shrugging it off. Stranger things have happened. He sets the box down and makes his way over to the window. He opens the window once he reaches it, only to come face to face with a bouquet of sweet peas, the colors ranging from white and pink to lavender.

Oh, those are his favorite.

He gingerly takes the flowers before looking over the top of the bouquet at the person who handed them to him. Ah, yes. The crime lord. Who had seen him commit murder.

Danny stares at him, debating on whether he should ask him what he’s doing here or thank him for the flowers. Red Hood speaks up before Danny can make a decision.

“So about that dinner… ” He trails off, tone laced with hope and a slight nervousness.

“Right.” Danny nods with understanding, despite not having a clue what Red Hood was talking about, his joke the night before having slipped from his mind.

“I’ve got the entire night planned out for us. First, we’ll have dinner at Pete’s. They recently rebuilt and they have this amazing cannoli, you have to try it sometime.

“And then after dinner, we’ll go to the Gotham Observatory—“

Danny, not even questioning how the crime lord found out where he lives and that he loves space, cuts him off in excitement.

“Wait! Isn’t that the one with the crystal powered telescope?”

Red Hood nods and holds out a hand to him expectantly.

Danny stares at the hand for a moment before shrugging, setting the flowers down on a table, and taking the offered hand. He lets Red Hood lead him out of his own window.

Once Red Hood has helped him down to the ground and led him to his motorcycle, it dawns on Danny he’s going on a date(?) with a known crime lord— or wasn’t it former crime lord now?

Well, who was Danny to refuse a trip to the observatory and some good cannoli?

Who knows, he might even get a new boyfriend out of it.

---

Red Hood takes his helmet off and sets it down on the table between them so he can eat.

Danny tries not to stare too much but damn, he’s handsome, even if he’s still wearing the mask.

Danny takes a bite of his food to try and distract himself, idly noting that ohhh, this is some good spaghetti. He'll have to try the cannoli if it's as good as their pasta.

Red Hood is the one to start the conversation.

“Hey, so, since we didn’t get to talk more last night, I still wanted to thank you for your service to the city”

“My what?”

“I’ve been wanting to kill that insane clown for years now.” Red Hood continues.

“And while I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t get to end his miserable existence myself, I’m so glad he’s finally gone. So, thank you” he says, looking Danny right in the eye with an earnest expression.

Feeling a mix of flustered at the heavy gaze that’s on him, and confused by the other’s words, Danny stammers out a bewildered “You’re… welcome?”

Red Hood nods at him before continuing.

“And you don’t have to worry about others finding out if you don’t want them to. I ain’t a snitch, and I’ll try to keep the Bats off your back the best I can.”

Danny gives him a nod in gratitude.

“Though honestly, I’d doubt you’d have to deal with much trouble even if people did know it was you who got rid of him.

“The Joker has done a lot of horrid shit and caused a lot of grief for Gotham over the years. He’s had it coming for a long time now, so don’t even feel too bad about it. It might even become a local holiday when his death comes out!”

However, something Red Hood had said stood out to Danny. He stiffens before blurting something out in a tone that sounded even more panicked than when he accidentally killed the clown.

“THAT CLOWN I PUNCHED WAS THE JOKER?!”

#dp x dc #dp x dc fic #dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc crossover #danny: oh no! i killed a random clown :( #red hood: yo dude thanks for killing the joker :) #danny: i killed the joker?!

Ectoplasm Gives You Wings 0.?

Hey here's a scene that happened long before Danny showed up have fun

Here is the subscription post

Need to know concept:

When you're in a world where wings are associated with ghosts, you're gonna assume that coming back from the dead with wings means you have some unfinished business. Harley Quinn POV.

Ever since Joker died, Harley expected his killer would come after her. She hadn't been with him for a couple years, but that hardly made up for the shit she'd done while they were together. Really the only surprise was that they hadn’t killed her first as a warning to him.

So when she walked into her apartment kitchen to see a guy with huge wings wearing a red helmet, Harley wasn’t terribly surprised. Not about the break-in or the gun pointed at her, at least.

"How'd'ya manage to fit those things in here?" she asked. The guy didn't answer. The wings flexed like he wanted to open them, but there wasn't any room.

"Harley," the Red Hood said, sounding very intimidating with some kind of voice modulation. "You know why I’m here."

"I can make a guess, big guy," Harley said sadly. "Nothing I can do to change your mind?"

"You let it happen. You helped him. Why should you escape justice?"

"I did my time for most of it. And I spent the last couple a years trying to put him in the ground. That doesn't fit into your equation somehow?" She tried edging slowly to a shelf where she had a gun of her own. Red Hood noticed. He stepped forward and grabbed her by the collar of her shirt.

"Did any of that bring back the innocent people you killed? The children you tortured?"

"Woah, woah, woah, time out. I never did anything like that to kids." Harley held her hands up in a T shape above Red Hood's fist. "I did some awful stuff I ain't proud of, but I never tortured kids."

"You didn't seem to care that he did."

Harley sighed and lowered her hands onto Red Hood's arm and tried to look into the eyes of his weird helmet. "What do you expect to happen here? You want me to beg until you feel satisfied? Sorry, buddy. Not really my style! I don't like a lotta what I did back then, but I can't fix it. I'm trying better now. If that's not good enough for ya, that's too bad."

The Red Hood didn't move for a moment. It was kind of creepy, if Harley was honest. He didn't say anything, he didn't twitch. Was the guy even breathing? It was always hard to talk to someone in a full face mask. There was no way to tell whether they were even listening. Contrary to popular belief, Harley didn't talk just to hear her own voice! Not often, at least.

The hand let go of her shirt. Harley pulled back to regain her balance, but she didn't relax just yet. There was still a big murderous birdman with a gun in her apartment. Even if he wasn't about to shoot her just now, he was still dangerous.

"Fucking hell," the guy said. He seemed to stagger backwards until one of his wings clipped the half-wall separating the kitchen from the living room. Then he leaned against the pillar heavily.

"Shit. You're right. This is pointless. Why am I here?"

Harley took her chance to grab her gun just in case, but Red Hood didn't seem to notice. She stared at him with suspicious, narrowed eyes. "Do you mean here in my apartment, or are you really having an existential crisis right now?"

"I'm not having a- Fuck. I guess I am." He held his head in his hands. "I'm sorry, Harls."

Well, that was an unusual nickname. It wasn't something she heard much outside of kids from the Bowery or Narrows. Most other kids in Gotham got swept up by their parents before they could talk to her.

"You lose somebody?" she asked softly, gun tucked in her pocket. "Sibling? A kid?"

Red Hood choked out a bitter laugh. "Myself." When Harley's eyebrows did a wild semaphore of emotion, the asshole deigned to explain. "He killed me. I... I came back. Figured, y'know, I must've been brought back for a reason, right?" He sunk down further against the pillar, the white tips of his mostly-black wings spreading across the floor like the fabric of a cape.

Damn, Harley thought. That made a fucked up amount of sense. "I can't really blame you for thinking that," she admitted. "The feathers a new fashion choice then?"

"You could say that. Shit." Red Hood reached up to the bottom of his helmet and depressed some trigger there. Harley heard a hiss of pressurization before it popped off the guy's head. The first thing she saw was black hair. That wasn't surprising. The surprising thing was when he leaned his head back against the pillar, revealing a young face and a shock of white hair in his bangs. Then he opened his eyes, and they were as blue as the sky.

"Hey kid? What did you say your name was?"

He took a devastatingly long time to respond.

"They called me Robin, once."

Phantom Children: Redux: The Timeline

Link to fic on AO3

At the request of one of my readers, here is the rough timeline of events up until Chapter V. A Practice of Obedience.

DISCLAIMER: This is a rough timeline meaning that events will not always cleanly match up to one another. This timeline also does not contain any dates because time is a human construct that I loathe; events are listed roughly in order and in approximation to how far into the past they are from the Present Timeline. I did not include all the details in this timeline because a lot of those are spoilers, and I cannot guarantee that I will constantly update this.

That being said: spoilers for the first five chapters (and first interlude) of Phantom Children: Redux are under the cut

The Foundations:

(Batfam ages were calculated using this article and some artistic license)

Talia and Bruce’s Romance: Batman works with Ra’s al Ghul to apprehend criminal Quayin. He meets and falls in love with Talia al Ghul and conceives Danny,  but is led to believe the child died in a miscarriage by Talia.

Danny is 0, Bruce is 25, Dick is 7, Jason is 2, Tim is 0

Robin’s Debut: The Flying Graysons are killed by Tony Zuco and leaves an orphaned Dick Grayson. Influenced by his own experience and still feeling the echoes of his lost child, Bruce adopts Dick. Dick becomes Robin two years later, much to Bruce’s chagrin.

Danny is 1-2, Bruce is 25-26 and 27-28 at Robin’s debut, Dick is 8 and debuts as Robin at 10

Damian is Born: Talia seduces/drugs Bruce and conceives Damian to be the perfect heir

Danny is 6, Bruce is 30, Dick is 13, Jason is 8, and Damian is 0

The Second Robin: Dick outgrows the role of Robin and strikes out on his own as Nightwing (has a falling out with Batman). Bruce adopts Jason, a boy who tried to steal Batman’s tires and reluctantly trains him to be Robin.

Danny is 10, Bruce is 34, Dick is 17, Jason is 12, Damian is 4

Death of Jason Todd: Jason dies at the hands of the joker. Batman spirals into depression

Danny is 13, Bruce is 37, Dick is 20, Jason is 15, Damian is 7

Resurrection of Jason Todd: Jason is resurrected 6 months after his death and is taken in by Talia al Ghul

Danny is 13, Bruce is 37, Dick is 20, Jason is 15 (16 when taken in by the League), Tim is 13

The Third Robin: Tim Drake decides to take up the mantle of Robin

Danny is 13, Bruce is 37, Dick is 20, Tim is 13, Jason is 15, Damian is 7

Birth of Phantom: Danny dies in the ghost portal and becomes Phantom

Danny is 14, Bruce is 38, Dick is 21, Tim is 14, Jason is 16, Damian is 8

Nasty Burger explosion: kills Fentons, Sam, Tucker, Lancer, + other customers. Danny is approached by Dusan al Ghul to go to Nanda Parbat.

Danny is 14, Damian is 8, Bruce is 38, Dick is 21, Tim is 14, Jason is 16,

[bougiebutchbitch]

I can't fucking believe you got me back into Batman again... Only problem, the Joker tag is full of character hate. :/ Typical.

Honestly, agreed. I'm never cool with putting hate in character tags or :stares at the Joker tag: tagging your weird Danny Phantom murder fantasies with the character you're graphically killing.

Buuuut....

While I still don’t agree with tagging that hate, most of the versions that people really seem to hate on are Leto Joker (which I totally understand because... ugh, the way he acted on-set was gross) and the darker, abusive and predatory comic versions. Again, understandable.

I love Lego Joker and Telltale Joker, who are both canonically little meowmeows who have done no harm to anyone, ever.

(Slight exaggeration. Shh.)

Telltale in particular is one of the only portrayals of his character as both queer, mentally ill and violently inclined (with the potential to hurt a lot of people) without demonising queerness or mental illness! That's really cool! I'd honestly dare anyone who hates his entire character to play through the Vigilante ending of Telltale and insist that every single version of Joker is an irredeemable shitbag? He's a guy who's been fucked over by the world, who gets emotionally & physically abused by his psychiatrist, who gets tossed out of an institution with 0 memory of what it's like outside and no framework for survival...

There is no happy ending  to his story. There's only one ending that hurts less, and one that hurts more. Either way, people get hurt. There's something kinda poignant about that.

As for the comics... every writer writes him different. How can folks hate the whole character when there are so many interpretations, between White Knight and Death of the Family and Europa and... etc. etc. etc. I love my murder-clown in some comic runs, even when he's completely amoral and unhinged and kills for fun. In others, just... meh. Especially when they try to make him  Dark And Edgy, rather than fun and bright.

This is all to say... rest assured that anyone who outright hates the entire character with 0 nuance probably hasn’t engaged with any Joker media outside of the films, the shitty incel fanbase and a few of the darker comics. There's so much great stuff out there and he's (sometimes) an awesome queer icon, albeit one with very bloody hands. I wish he wasn't so overused in the comics - I think he'd be a lot more appreciated by the fandom if they DIDN'T always toss him into the mix, and let a few good writers handle him. But isn't that true of all characters in Batman? :shrug:

So - yeah, I rarely dip my toes in his tag because there's so much hate, but I can at least console myself that this hate is directed towards specific, narrow interpretations of the Joker that I myself am not especially fond of.

Although with that being said, I think people should love whatever interpretation of his character they want to love. A big shout-out to people who do like the darker comic personalities, or Leto-jokes. You guys get a lot of stick, but keep on truckin’! You do you, and I’m sorry about the haters!

JUSTICE LEAGUE: EASTER EGGS, TRIVIA, AND THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

Disclaimer: I did not find all of these easter eggs myself. I watched many Youtube videos and read many articles and gathered the best easter eggs or references I could find and I compiled them into one organized post. Also, this post will definitely contain spoilers from the movie. Enjoy!

GREEN LANTERN

Green Lantern is one of the founding members of the Justice League in the comics, and it was widely speculated that he would have a cameo in the film or in the post-credits scenes (especially since there’s a planned film in the DCEU called Green Lantern Corps); even though we didn’t get that in the film, when Diana was explaining to Bruce about Steppenwolf’s origins and the Mother Boxes, we see a Green Lantern get killed in battle. The Green Lantern we see fighting Steppenwolf also wears a cape, which could be an homage to Alan Scott, the first Green lantern in the comics. This easter egg officially confirms the existence of the Green Lanterns in the DCEU films and foreshadows Green Lantern Corps (2020).

STEPPENWOLF AND DARKSEID’S RELATIONSHIP

The villain of Justice League was Steppenwolf, who is minion to the villain Darkseid. In the comics, Steppenwolf is Darkseid’s uncle, wheras in the movie, it’s revealed that Steppenwolf is Darkseid’s nephew.

CLARK AND JONATHAN KENT’S GRAVES

When The Flash and Cyborg are digging up Superman's coffin you can see the tombstone next to his reads Kent, referencing that he was buried next to his father who died in the Man of Steel movie.

JOHN WESLEY SHIPP

When attempting to break into the Kryptonian ship, Barry’s fake credentials show the name Wesley Shipp, which is a reference to John Wesley Shipp, who played the Flash in the tv show from the 1990s.

DO YOU BLEED?

One of the many callbacks to Batman v Superman is the line “Do you bleed?”. In BvS, Batman says it to Superman during their first encounter, and now in Justice League, Superman says it back to Batman during their fight.

AQUAMAN AND SUPERMAN HAVE MET BEFORE

Jason Momoa who plays Aquaman has revealed that in the DCEU, Aquaman and Superman have crossed paths before; in Man of Steel, there’s a scene where Clark almost drowns after saving people from the exploding oil rig, and apparently Aquaman pushed him back to the surface.

RED SKY

In the final battle against Steppenwolf, the Mother Boxes are united and the sky turns red; in the DC Comics universe, a red sky symbolizes a time of crisis - this first happened in “Crisis on Infinite Earths” in 1985.

SCENES STRAIGHT FROM THE COMICS

The plot of the movie draws inspiration from DC’s New 52 Comics, with scenes in the movie taken right from the comics and put into the movie such as “Aquaman talking to fish” and Batman’s first fight with the parademon, which was from the comic story arc “Origin” written by Geoff Johns, who is also the co-head of DC Films. 

GAME OF THRONES CONNECTIONS

3 actors from Game of Thrones are in Justice League:

Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo) plays Aquaman

Ciaran Hinds (Mance Rayder) played Steppenwolf through motion capture

Michael McElhatton (Roose Bolton) plays an unnamed criminal fighting against Wonder Woman

BLACK MASK

During the same fight against the parademon, there’s a rooftop with the company name “Janus” on it, which is the name of the company run by the villain Black Mask.

ARES AND ZEUS

The “gods” in Wonder Woman’s storyline and backstory are seen in the flashback battle - including Ares (played by David Thewlis) and Zeus, who zapped the Mother Boxes apart.

THE PENGUIN

During a conversation between Bruce and Alfred, Alfred says he misses the days when their biggest threats were “exploding, wind-up penguins”, which is a reference to the famous Batman villain, the Penguin.

THE SPECTRE

At the Gotham City Police Department, Alfred talks to Crispus Allen, who in the comics goes on to become the cosmic entity “The Spectre”.

ACE CHEMICALS

When Batman talks to Commissioner Gordon on the rooftop, in the background you can spot a sign for “ACE Chemicals” which is where the Joker fell into a vat of chemicals that bleached his skin (in Suicide Squad we see a clip of Harley and Joker in ACE Chemicals).

DOOMSDAY CLOCK

Bruce makes a comment about the “Doomsday clock having a snooze button”, which is a reference to the Watchmen, and “Doomsday Clock” is the title to the sequel of Watchmen, written by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank.

WAYNE MANOR / HALL OF JUSTICE

At the end of the movie, Bruce Wayne returns to his family home, Wayne Manor, and tells Alfred they’ll be needing a table and six chairs around it (or maybe more..) alluding to the fact that it could be the “Hall of Justice” aka the Justice League headquarters. 

BARRY & HENRY ALLEN 

At the end of the movie, Barry gets a job as a forensic scientist, motivated by the desire to clear his father’s name (when Barry was a child, his mother Nora was murdered and his father Henry was charged with the crime). Henry Allen is held at “Iron Heights Penitentiary”, which is where most of the Flash’s enemies end up in the comics such as Captain Cold and Weather Wizard. 

Bonus fact: In Justice League, Henry Allen is played by Billy Crudup, who played Dr. Manhattan in the Watchmen movie, a DC Comics film also directed by Zack Snyder (though not a part of the DCEU).

BARRY’S HOME - BLACKPINK AND RICK AND MORTY

When Bruce goes to recruit Barry to join the League, the song “As If It’s Your Last” by K-POP band BlackPink can be heard, and an episode of Rick and Morty can be seen playing in the background (season 1 episode 9); the scene shows Rick & Summer defeating the Devil, which mirrors the actions of the League in this film, as Steppenwolf is considered an allegory for Lucifer.

GORILLA GRODD

In the same scene, Barry says he known “gorilla sign language” which is a reference to the Flash villain “Gorilla Grodd”, who is an extremely intelligent gorilla with psychic powers.

PRINCE AND DAVID BOWIE

A newspaper article can be seen remembering the deaths of Prince and David Bowie alongside Superman.

THE KRYPTONIAN SHIP

The Kryptonian ship which plays a big role in the film, is the same one that General Zod arrives in in Man of Steel, Lex Luthor created Doomsday in Batman v. Superman; we also understand from the movie that the ship has been taken from LexCorp by STAR Labs.

VICTOR AND GOTHAM CITY UNIVERSITY

Victor got his powers after suffering an accident while he was a student and football player at Gotham City University. A scene was cut from the movie that showed him in a GCU jacket and his days as a football player. Bonus Fact: In Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition, we see a scene of a football game between Gotham City University and Metropolis, with GCU losing 58-0, and they’re doing so badly because Victor isn’t on their team anymore due to his accident.

BOOYAH

After the fight with Steppenwolf, Cyborg says “Booyah!”, which is his signature catchphrase in the Teen Titans animated series.

JOHN WILLIAMS SCORE

Danny Elfman used a bit of Superman’s classic score by John Williams but “gave it a darker twist” in the film right before Superman fights the League at his monument.

16TH ANNIVERSARY OF ANIMATED SERIES

This film was released in the US on November 17th, the same day the animated series Justice League (2001) first aired sixteen years earlier.

1978 JIMMY OLSEN CAMEO

Marc McClure, who plays Jimmy Olsen in the 1978 Superman movie has a cameo in the movie as the police guard in the jail when Barry visits his dad.

SUPERMAN V. THE FLASH - 1ST POST CREDITS SCENE

The first mid-credits scene shows Superman racing against The Flash to see who is faster; this has been a subject of many comic book stories with the answer never being truly resolved and always being “up in the air”.

LEGION OF DOOM - 2ND POST CREDITS SCENE

The second post credits scene shows Lex Luthor to have broken out of Arkham Asylum and aboard a yacht with Deathstoke (aka Slade Wilson), with Lex telling Slade they should form “a league of their own”. This is a reference to the “Legion of Doom” or the “Injustice League” , a group of supervillains from DC Comics including Lex Luthor, Deathstroke, Riddler, Braniac, Solomon Grundy, Sinestro, Scarecrow, and more. Bonus Fact: Lex Luthor’s look in this scene is more true to how he looks in the comics as opposed to how he looked in Batman v Superman.

CLARK’S FUNERAL OUTFIT

We see that Clark was buried in a navy blue suit, white shirt, and red tie - this is one of Clark’s iconic outfits from the early comics.

THE ICONIC SUPERMAN POSE

Another iconic Clark Kent outfit is the tan trenchcoat, glasses, and hat, and at the very end of the film, the first time in the DCEU, we see Clark wear this outfit and pull open his shirt to reveal his Superman outfit - an iconic Superman scene.

Game of Thrones S7E3: The Queen Justice

New Post has been published on http://thatcoolblacknerd.com/game-of-thrones-s7e3-the-queen-justice/

Game of Thrones S7E3: The Queen Justice

Season: 7 Episode: 3 Directed By: Mark Mylod Staring:  Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner Synopsis: Daenerys and Jon meet. Cersei gains a new ally. Sansa receives an unexpected visitor. Sam is confronted for his actions.

The Queen of Dragons Meets The King of the North

The moment finally came where Jon Snow and Daenerys finally met. Danny expected Jon would come and bend the knee to the Queen and Jon came with the idea that all this Game of Thrones is all good and stuff but the real problem are these White Walkers. On their way to see the Queen Jon and Davos get their first encounter with Dragons and it was the best reactions to Dragons this show has had. So often people see Dragons for the first time and just look in awe, Jon and Davos hit the ground as quick as a hiccup. These Dragons have been the cheat code so far on the show, so it will be interesting to see how they can possibly die. Also, there is speculation that Jon will eventually ride one of these Dragons because of his heritage.

When Jon and Danny finally meet Messandei gives the long, distinguish speech about all the titles Danny has, Queen of Dragons, Khallesi, etc and created and immediate separation of power and title. Danny explains to Jon that the Targaryen’s and Starks have a long lasting agreement that the Starks would no longer be King of the north but Warden of the North and they will bend the knee to whatever King or Queen Targaryen that is in power. Davos, thought it was disrespectful to not call Jon a King and Jon did not bend the knee. Jon explains to Danny that her Dad was a madman, burned his grandfather alive and that act breaks this agreement, also he is not worried about the Game of Thrones he just needs help to stop the Army of the Dead. Danny clearly does not believe in the white walkers, but in a world with Dragons and fire magic she should no better. Tryion vouches for Jon telling Danny Jon is not a liar or and exaggerator and Jon would not have come all the way to Dragonstone against the will of his people if it were not serious. Eventually Danny and Jon come to a mutual agreement that Jon could mine the Dragon Glass and I assume Jon would support Danny but he still did not bend the knee to the Queen. I think this is setting up some type of confrontation down the road when Jon’s heritage is revealed and he may have claim to the throne. Also Danny decides to get on her Dragons and go destroy Euron’s ships on her own. Dany getting more and more behind the 8ball and Jon Snow will probably become an even bigger help to her.

Euron Greyjoy Might Be My New Favorite Character

After destroying Yara and her fleet Euron came back to Kings landing with a… Kings welcome. Euron has quickly become one of my favorite characters with his brash, eccentric and to some extent crazy personality and don’t give a fuck attitude. Euron dragged the sand snakes and Yara through town and presented them to Cersei. Cersei has not looked this pleased since she burnt the city to ashes. Cersei told Euron he could get whatever he wanted and Euron basically said he wanted to have sex with Cersei. Cersei tom y surprise told Euron, after the war was over he could have whatever he wants. Euron was so smug he went to Jaime to ask for sex tips on Cersei. Euron is building up the heat every week and soon he will be a character like Ramsey and Joffery who people can’t wait to see dead. Cersei settles her debt with the Iron Bank when the Lannister army give up casterly rock to take over High Garden and get their gold back. Cersei is still the Queen and winning the game and each week that goes by more and more the show is making it possible to have a antagonist win this game.

Queen of Thorn Goes Out Like a G

Once the Lanisters took over High Garden Jamie and Lady Ollena were in the room and they don’t call her the Queen of Thorns for nothing. Lady Ollena wen ton a monologue about how terrible Cersei is and that Jamie has to see that she is a plague to society and she will be the death of him soon. Jamie trying to hold a straight face, tries to justify what Cersei has done but Lady Ollena continues to point out how far Cersei is willing to go for power and that Jamie will not be able to stop her. Jamie then give her the poison to die peacefully and the Queen dropped the big joker that it was her who killed Joffery and Cersei’s crusade against Tryion was all a farce and she wanted to make sure Cersei new that and that it was one of the best decisions of Lady Ollenna’s life. Jamie is starting to feel everything cave in around him, and I assume soon enough he will turn on Cersei. Jamie is not a benevolent character, but he is not pure evil either. Jamie has a concience, we have seen it with Tyrion, Bron and Brienne and eventually as much as he love Cersei he will turn on her. The show is setting up Euron to be the catalyst of their eventual demise but I don’t see it going in that direction.

The Stark Reunion has Started

Back in Winterfell Sansa gets a visitor and its Bran. Sansa is in shock and did not beleive he was still alive but is learning this her brother is way different then the last time they met. Bran tries to explain to Sansa that he is the 3 eyed raven now, but Sansa does not get it, until Bran starts to describe her wedding day to Ramsey and it starts to freak her out a little. Meanwhile Littlefinger is trying to plant seeds with Sansa that she needs to establish herself as Queen even in Jon’s return and he is clearly up to something. I expect in the next couple episodes, Arya to make it back to Winterfell but knowing this show I would not be surprised if she get sidetracked or makes it but they never link up with Jon. The Starks are the Cleveland Browns of Game of Thrones and there is nothing to lead me to believe that they will succeed.
