“She had lost her home, her place in the world, and everyone she had ever loved or trusted. Winter is coming, warned the Stark words, and truly it had come for them with a vengeance.”

Well Cersei, you raised two very sweet kids. Unfortunately, your other child is Satan spawn. Two out of three is pretty good in Westeros, though!
(I really do love them though— sans Joff)
things in asos that help characterize joffrey as a sociopath/cruel/violent that aren’t grossly sexually exploitative towards women and narratively misogynistic:
- After hearing of robb stark’s death, he wanted to serve his head at his wedding to margaery tyrell to sansa and make sansa kiss it
- he wanted to show absolutely no mercy to the riverlander and northern noble families who surrendered following robb’s death
- destroys the present from tyrion at his wedding with his sword because it was a book and demands another present, threatening violence
- the revelation that joffrey sent the assassin to kill bran
- “not robert the second. aerys the third”
- sansa talking about how he’s a monster to olenna and margaery
- the scene between tywin and and tyrion on how joffrey needs a “sharp lesson”
- joffrey’s treatment of tyrion at tyrion and sansa’s wedding, making tyrion stand on dontos’ back
- reiterating that joffrey punished dontos by making him the court jester
- tyrion’s narration on how joffrey couldn’t be trusted to not mistreat the dornish
- how he constantly threatens to cut out the tongues of people with dissenting opinions
- “king joffrey looked as if he wanted to kill someone right then and there, he was so excited” after receiving his sword, which he gleefully named widow’s wail
- making tyrion joust on a pig at his wedding and then dumping wine over tyrion’s head when he returned the jape
- making tyrion act as his cupbearer as a humiliation, making him get on his knees and crawl under the table, refusing to let tyrion change out of his wine-soaked doublet
oh look, nothing about tying up a prostitute and killing her with a crossbow just as she’s expanding outside the role of a sex worker and into a three dimensional, fully-fleshed character with agency and autonomy and power
#i mean at one point in the books joffrey kills a cat with his crossbow #and in the show they have him killing a sex worker #just sit with that for a minute and think about how fucked up that change is
Cersei: Was it ever possible for us? Was there ever a time, ever a moment?
Robert: No.
