Sansa as QITN was the ONLY satisfying thing about this hot garbage mess. But her crown was terrible. #GameofThrones

Sansa’s queen dress was amazing.
The rest was garbage no one wanted that was designed to make us miserable. #gameofthrones

There was a lot of beauty in that ending #GameofThrones
— Petra Halbur (@PLHalbur) May 20, 2019
It is amazing that Dany never even got to sit on the throne she wanted more than anything, I understand if lots of people will feel like the show did her dirty, but I thought that was tragically sad and beautiful at the same time. #GameofThrones

— lindsey romain (@lindseyromain) May 19, 2019
So, basically, R+L=J was pointless. Why did Bran say Jon needed to know the truth? Just to piss off Daenerys? Make it make sense. #GoTs8 #GameofThrones

I’ve been saying for so long: the show has always been about how problematic the game of thrones is. I’m glad the throne is dead. Almost as glad I am that Meryn Trant is dead.

Tyrion played the smart game.
Daenerys played her own game.
Jon Snow hated the game.
Sansa played the long game.
Arya thought the game was meaningless.
Greyworm doesn’t play-play games.
Bran has all the cheat codes to the game.
Drogon: “F*ck y’all game…” #GameOfThrones— Keith Murphy (@murphdogg29) May 20, 2019
This is a great point. I honestly believe I underestimated Drogon. I thought he was gonna go crazy and have to be put down. But he didn’t. He saw what the Iron Throne did to his mother, so he burned it down, took his mom’s corpse and flew home (I say he flew to Valyria.) https://t.co/KQnlrMdrcW

Tales were shared, and I LOVED it!
Fans had a lot to say, and much of it was fond farewell:
I remember watching Season 1 and 2 in 2013 in bed with subtitles on in case a loud sex scene came on. I spent a lot of time in bed then, and then through the show I discovered @WatchersOTWall and the amazing Twitter fandom. Something to focus on and somewhere to belong.
— Catháir (@Cathair96) May 19, 2019
I want to also point out that I am insanely proud of the Northern Irish talent that this show has produced and the tourism that it has brought here. It has helped shift Northern Ireland’s reputation from being sectarian violence and terrorism to the biggest TV show in the world.
— Catháir (@Cathair96) May 19, 2019
And more:
From there I watched YouTube videos, listened to podcasts and researched the history of Westeros. I began reading books about the symbolism and hidden meanings. I was blown away by the intricate storylines and intelligent foreshadowing…
— ???? Eureka???? (@shenaniganlife) May 19, 2019
A show along with thousands of others across the world. It made me feel like a part of something really special that I doubt I’ll ever find again. Since all that I found my way to @Axechucker recaps and even guest appeared on @motelsonmars reaction series…
— ???? Eureka???? (@shenaniganlife) May 19, 2019
So thank you for allowing me to be a part of it, thank you for sharing your heartfelt emotions and reactions and thank you for being along for the ride. Looking forward to the #GoT #seriesfinale and to sharing it once and for all with all of you
— ???? Eureka???? (@shenaniganlife) May 19, 2019
Amen.
There has to be a secret next episode where everyone blows up, right? How did Game of Thrones end with so many people alive?
— 5mash (@5mashed) May 20, 2019
The biggest twist of the episode was how Drogon apparently has understood symbolism and complex reasoning all this time. I guess no one ever asked what he thought of the ambition for the iron throne before.
— 5mash (@5mashed) May 20, 2019
As much as The Adventures of Pirate Arya would rule as a show, we all know that the deserving sequel is The Gay Prince of Dorne.

Here’s something from one of our long-timers:
supposed to keep her safe. To her show counterpart where she is r*ped by Ramsay. Sansa was who I saw myself in. If Sansa can go through all these horrible things, endure them and still be kind and thoughtful, wanting to help others, then so can I. Sansa helped me when I was
— sansa stark, queen in the north (@motelsonthemoon) May 20, 2019
I still feel like I am. Seeing Sansa survive them and find the peace, find her home and regain her identity, as a Stark, as a survivor. To see someone who was beaten and told she’d never amount to anything, to see her crowned and her people cheering for her, to see her happy
— sansa stark, queen in the north (@motelsonthemoon) May 20, 2019
she couldn’t do. Survive. Sansa Stark survived it all when others couldn’t & if Sansa can endure and survive even when everyone did their damnedest to ensure she didn’t, she did. She came out on top, and she freed her people in the process. Sansa Stark, the queen in the North.
