Its apparent he isn't going to live. Very sad. I loved how vulnerable they both were.
This just proves I was speaking out of my ass and haven't got a clue about what I am talking about. I read a review about Game of Thrones who said that it was a 'bro culture' movie. That the writers were men, directors too. There were competent talented women, but they weren't chosen at all in these pivotal jobs because of their gender.
When you think of how Jaime left Brienne to go back to his incestuous relationship, the male culture was showing, he fucked the virgin and then abandoned her for his toxic dysfunctional relationship. Surely his twin sister couldn't have been the right one for him, it was such a vile alliance. Only men would think like that. No chance of the character actually growing and doing the right thing. Oh no, fuck the virgin and then heartlessly walk away without giving her a second thought.
Yes, you were speaking out of your arse then and that goes double now.
"Bro culture"? Oh fuck right off with that bullshit.
Tyrion used to be the smartest, most cunning, wittiest, play maker. He is now a sad, pathetic gullible slow-witted loser.
Jamie used to be a smug, arrogant, world-beater and now it a broken man who I was happy died just to get him out of the series. He could not let go of Cersei? Sure, whatever, He was psychological gelded, why not make him co-dependent? Pathetic is pathetic. May have been "nice" that he had stayed with Brienne but I was hoping she would get it on with Tormund.
Tormund HAD been a strong larger than life hard man and from the time the larger Hound had come across him, Hound essentially took over that role and he was a lovestruck jester and someone to openly mock.
Hound was a nasty, hard, rude cantankerous murderer and now has become a Dad-like mentor figure and soft on the inside reborn shadow of his former self.
Theon was LITERALLY castrated
Jon is fucking hopeless. He was always the strong natural leader who is completely wrapped around Dany's finger. His battle decisions are hopeless. Sansa and Dany are both far better leaders.
Now who ARE the leaders and movers and shakers in this BRO culture? - Why, Dany, Cersei, Sansa and Arya.
Look at their achievements character arc and compare it to the "bros"
See how dishonest your narrative is and how very easily shown to be a load of shit? Why is that?
Personally I think it was better for Jamie to stay with Brienne BUT not for Brienne. Not long term. Jamie was a world-beater who became broken and unsavageable. She in contrast is a powerful woman and needs someone with personality and strength of character. That is not good for her.
The whole leaving her after finally getting together was just a fault of poor writing and rushed narrative. Fuck all really to do with her fictional virginity. Dear God, hat a load of shit.

When you see the injuries on the horse, she shouldn't be able to ride him, but she rides away on him. I wonder what you make of this Duch with your knowledge of horses.
May be the same horse. May be some metaphorical allusion but I think you are likely talking out of your arse again.

Good theory. Any proof? Being very upset and not eating for days and grieving the loss of her "child" and having her boyfriend/lover/nephew reject her romantically may have something more to do with this.
My prediction. Tyrion is killed off. House of Lannister extinct. Jon kills Dany and is either killed as a result or gets rainy-faced and gives up all kingship or whatever and banishes himself back past the wall perhaps back to the wild folk. Bran will be king and Sansa Queen in the North. Arya either dies or goes off to the Faceless Men.
I think it will be a shit ending. Yay!
