be brave

★ Derry Girls Appreciation Week ★

↳ Day 1 ● Fave Character ●

Dany: You’re doomed to be like your parents. Even if you never knew them. If they were terrible people, you’ll be as well. There’s no rising above this, there is no other way.  Jaime: There’s no escaping horrible relationships, and there’s no bettering yourself. You’re doomed to go back to what you used to be, no matter how far you came. Theon: As a trauma survivor, you’ve got no place in this world. It doesn’t matter if you were able to rebuild yourself from nothing, that after all the trauma you went through, you managed to find yourself. They might mourn you when you die, but there’s no place among people for you.

Sansa: The only way to be strong is to become like your abusers. Having ideals and principles makes you stupid, growth is not learning to see see reality for what it is while deciding to stay true to yourself, it’s throwing away every shred of your personality and becoming exactly what you used to hate. Sandor: You can’t heal. You can’t decide to leave your abuser behind. You have to have your hate and revenge, even if it kills you. (No, his self-awareness and what he told Arya don’t make it any better.)

Tyrion: It’s not worth it to believe in anything or anyone. Better stay a drunk cynic - you had it right from the beginning.

Grey Worm: In the end, you become what they tried to make you, a killing machine without mercy for innocents. There’s no escape.

Missandei: Once they’ve got you in chains, you will die in chains. They’re someone else’s chains than your first masters’, but they’re chains nonetheless.

Jon: Decent people are stupid and wilfully ignorant. Wanting peace is naivety, wanting people to try and work together is the height of ridiculous.
