This One Arya Moment In "Game Of Thrones" Season 8, Episode 2 Has People Screaming
SPOILERS AHEAD.
This post contains spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 2.
You've been warned.
That sound you hear is me screaming because after years of anticipation, the GOOD SHIP GENDRYA has finally sailed!
That's right, as the Winterfell crew prepare for battle with the dead, Arya Stark decides she doesn't want to die a virgin and she GETS HERS.
In episode 69. Nice.
Gendry, for his part, is more than happy to oblige. These are two characters who have cared about each other for a long time, who grew up together — and who are now both grown-ass adults.
HBO even made sure to remind everyone of Arya's age before it all went down.
By age 18 in Westeros you should have: - Had a pet. - Moved out on your own. - Travelled extensively. - Had a kill list. - Pretended to be the opposite sex to evade capture. - Been blind for a while. - Ticked at least three people off of your kill list.
There are still a lot of people freaking out about seeing Arya be sexual...for some reason that's more disturbing than seeing her straight-up murder people and WEAR THEIR FACES?!?!
Let's not forget, Robert Baratheon foreshadowed Gendry and Arya's union all the way back in Season 1.
He was talking about Sansa and Joffrey's betrothal, but it works so much better for Arya and Gendry. Especially because Gendry is his actual son, unlike Joffrey.
It's also worth noting that it's a nice full-circle moment, with Gendry and Arya symbolically rectifying things that went wrong in the past. Not just Sansa and Joffrey's failed union, but also Robert Baratheon and Lyanna Stark's. Arya is supposed to take after Lyanna, right down to her looks, while Gendry is said to look just like a young Robert. The two of them coming together brings a sense of closure to the previous generation's mistakes and failures.
But enough with the talking. Let's get on to the memes, because there are SO MANY good ones...
1. Needless to say, Gendrya shippers are very happy.
