Fast-forward to last night, when Gendry was given his rightful title:
Immediately, my mind went to this scene from Season 1:
So when Gendry ran to tell Arya the news, my heart was full of happiness!
And for a SPLIT SECOND I thought Arya was going to say yes...
...but deep down, I knew she wasn't going to accept his proposal. Not because she doesn't love him, but because she can't be who he wants her to be.
Actual footage of me being sad for five seconds before remembering Arya has told Gendry a million times that she isn't a "lady."
Arya's been saying this FROM THE JUMP!
Am I sad that Arya said no to Gendry? Of course! Am I happy that Arya knows herself well enough to make the best decisions for herself? Yes the fuck I am!
We don't know if this will be the end of the Gendrya road, but all I know is I can't wait to see what Arya does next!
