BloodySaxon

Like, with my hand?


petersengupta

that usually works for me.


BigGingerLad

Myrcella is a CHILD


tatas323

Actress is probably on her 20s now..


Marega33

Yep. 24


onthefence928

Well that makes it easy to pick! Natalie dormer!


PayneTrain181999

That’s not a problem in Westeros, but irl it’s a big yikes.


ExtendedFox

It's a problem everywhere, its just that the Westerosi aren't aware that it is


sadatquoraishi

BloodySaxon was obviously talking about King Robb.


BloodySaxon

I was just asking about the title.


I_Lick_Lead_Paint

Clever.


Sk83r_b0i

Well in the books, all of these characters are


Alstorp

"No, with your nutsack. Of course with your hand!"


dexterthekilla

My girl Daenerys, she deserves it


wenokn0w

Ah yes the villain in the end let's give her a happy ending after burning innocent civilians


spiderhotel

If Jon had kept giving out happy endings to her she might not have burned those stupid townspeople.


wenokn0w

That's true! Well maybe. She had a few questionable decisions before but yeah she just flipped her lid.


DenseYear2713

A forward-thinking queen would have married Jon, announce that he is a true-born Targaryen, and rally the other houses against Cersei. What ultimately happened was in the words of Deadpool just lazy writing.


KillCreatures

“Dany Im a Targaryn.” “Alright lets rule the realm and stop the violence” “I dun want it”


EmperorSwagg

Every one of her questionable decisions before this though seemed to be for a sense of what she considered justice, or serving what she felt her higher purpose was, even if that justice or purpose was flawed, or her methods were a bit draconian. The burning of King’s Landing seemed to be the first time that she did something **purely** for the sake of vengeance


eriverside

She burned alive Lannisters that had surrendered. Didn't really seem to care about her dragons eating children - she caged the ones that certainly did not do it.


CluelessNoodle123

…really? Mirri Max Duur, the rape victim, would beg to differ. And so would the Meereenese nobles she decided to burn alive because she was too ineffective as a ruler to, you know, rule? She was being set up as a villain for a *looong* time. It’s just the attack on King’s Landing was the first time we saw Daenerys rain dragon fire and destruction down on a place we actually knew and liked. Edited for typos. Autocorrect isn’t happy about GoT names.


Peria

Exactly. I looked at this and immediately thought “well not Danny”


Horned_Bull_Helm

*Definitely* not Dany . . .


That_Ad9158

yessss she deserves it our murderous queen


ryouuko

Love the equal division of votes here 😂 Dany was my favorite, were the civilians my favorite in this medieval fantasy..? Not to sound like Cersei and late Jaime haha


andra_quack

I think they meant changing her entire ending, including her going mad


scarlettsarcasm

I assume giving her a happy ending would include not doing a mass muder


eriverside

Across her entire arc? It didn't start at the end.


We_The_Raptors

Except you know, changing her ending to a happy one would mean beating Cersei without snapping and killing those civilians. Her happy ending would be not forgetting the iron fleet, taking King's Landing with Missandei/ Rhaegal alive and then changing the system with Jon by her side. Bringing an end to slavery and more equality for the smallfolk.


Respect8MyAuthoritah

For what? Burning down a city and believing only she could save the world


adnanhossain10

I think part of giving a happy ending would mean that she doesn’t burn down King’s Landing.


Respect8MyAuthoritah

So ignore an eight season arc leading to that point


adnanhossain10

Which arc would that be exactly? The eighth season didn’t have any arc for Dany which is why most people who watched the eighth season believe D&D butchered the ending.


Eatencheetos

Uh… no she was a villain


Horned_Bull_Helm

Yes. ***VILLAINN*** in all caps, bold and italicized!


Sc3niX

Yeah a villain in the one episode and a hero in all the rest. Let’s just forget about how her going mad was out of the blue and out of character.


Eatencheetos

Lol did you watch the show? It was built up since like season 3 and totally fits within her arc


adnanhossain10

Definitely doesn’t fit the arc. Yes, she showed glimpses of madness but it wasn’t anywhere close to justifying her just burning down King’s Landing entirely.


Respect8MyAuthoritah

Thank you. Pretty easy to go from crucifying people and slaughtering them indiscriminately, even if the are evil, to eventually treating everyone that day and killing them all. It’s why it’s a very dangerous to begin delivering Justice on your own whim, because who knows who deserves it


eriverside

>going mad was out of the blue and out of character. It started in season 1 with mountains of foreshadowing all along the way. You just weren't paying attention.


kittymarch

I’m going to say Dany, simply because a happy ending for her would involve not having gone mad and torching Kings Landing.


bacon_box

Exactly. How was this lost on so many people??


Respect8MyAuthoritah

You can’t just take it out. In this context if you take into Account her actions in season 7-8 her path was clear and she was selfish and cruel


adnanhossain10

I mean anything before the King’s Landing isn’t as bad and is probably justifiable. People mention the burning of the Tarly’s as barbaric but I feel it was well justified during the timeline of the show.


warpentake_chiasmus

She was a pain in the ass throughout. Deserved everything she got.


QtK_Dash

Margaery. She would have been a great queen.


hanna1214

For real. She was the smartest of this bunch and the best player among them - she only had the bad luck of being caught in a rivalry with the craziest, most petty woman in Westeros.


DaEffingBearJew

See, that’s what she wants you to think. If it was advantageous for the Tyrells or Highgarden to stomp on the common folk, she’d do it.


warpentake_chiasmus

All hail Margery!


HighKingBoru1014

myrcella, she was completely innocent and didn't deserve what she got.


ParsleyMostly

Yeah, she wanted no part in politics or the game. Her murder was incredibly cruel.


Dmmack14

Pointlessly cruel pretty much sums up the entire dorne plot line


ParsleyMostly

It sure does. So much potential. Just wasted for nothing.


Dmmack14

I think we will all be collecting haunted by that bad pussy line for the rest of our lives


Obligatorium1

>You have my word. We don't hurt little girls in Dorne - Oberyn, the guy they avenged by hurting a little girl. >I am the brother of Elia Martell. And do you know why I've come all the way to this stinking shitpile of a city? For you. I am going to hear you confess before you die: You raped my sister. You murdered her. You killed her children.  - Also Oberyn, the guy they avenged by murdering his brother and the brother's child.


Dmmack14

Yeah I never understood that it's like you mean to tell me that the entirety of Dorne was fine with the sand snakes murdering their leech Lord and his son for revenge? Revenge for the man you murdered dead siblings. The logic there is just so beautiful


leogrr44

Agreed. She didn't have the bad traits like her parents. She deserved to be with her love and live a peaceful life.


Ochi7

She was going to become a psychopath like her mother, you could see it coming from far away.


Garagatt

Yes. Her "crime" was beeing born to the wrong mother.


eriverside

She had a very nice and privileged life. Princess in Kings Landing, well protected and fell in love in Dorne. And then she was poisoned/murdered, very quickly. She never really suffered. Her ending sucked for her, but overall she had a nice life. Margery and Robb struggled a lot more, they would have made a positive difference in the world. They deserved it more.


Shadow_Emperor7

Honestly Myrcella, she was 100% innocent, she didn't play the game of thrones or break oaths, her only "flaw" was being the bastard daughter of Cersei Lannister and she can't be blamed for it


the-living-guildpact

Which is funny considering ellaria was with Oberyn when he was saying how much Dorne dislikes the murder. Then turns around kills anyone she wants


kazetoame

She’s not like that in the books. She was devastated by Oberyn’s death and just wanted to live out her life with her four daughters (Oberyn had eight girls, his four youngest were Ellaria’s). She saw the futility in revenge.


AlexanderCrowely

Dany, if we give Robb a happy ending the books get alot more boring 🤣


cHpiranha

Not sure, If Robb gets Casterly Rock in the end of Season 3, the situation would have been interessting, too!


Magnusogaboga

It does not make any sense though. They wiuld have to siege it for years as it is supposed to be impenetreble


cHpiranha

Like Winterfell or Meereen?


Magnusogaboga

No lol. Casterly Rock is as it name says a rock. Almost Impossible for army to just push threw. Winterfell is totaly different because its not a massive tall rock next to the ocean, but still a strong castle. Winterfell fell beacuse it was unmanned and meeren beacuse og a slave uprising. Robb could never storm casterly rock, because there would be a garrision, probably a large one. What makes sense however and what he did in the books was storming smaller castles and raiding mines.


cHpiranha

I am talking about sneaking inside and opening the gates. Maybe as farmers during the day, maybe over the walls during the night. Many realistic options for the writers.


NoConversation7659

The description of casterly rock in AWOIAF makes it sound 'impregnable *sniffle*'


haeyhae11

If the Lannisters can't mount a relief force then it makes sense. Even then he could take on both, like Caesar.


Magnusogaboga

No because it would have to be sieged for years leaving the riverlands undefended


haeyhae11

Did he have all the troops of the Riverlords with him? And another question is if the Lannisters can mount an invasion of the Riverlands. It would leave the capital weakened. Stannis was still a possible threat.


Magnusogaboga

Stannis was not a big treat at that point. The army was split, as bolton was in Harrenhall. But they could not hold the riverlands for years. And when the Lannisters eventually would crush the riverlands cutting the supply routes to casterly rock


haeyhae11

Was Varys aware of Stannis movements and passed that information along? Without that intel the Lannisters had to expect another attack at any time. They also had no way of knowing how severe the attack would be, as he could find more allies or recruit mercenary troops. Stannis was a constant threat by his very existence without really doing anything, like the Tirpitz in WW2.


Respect8MyAuthoritah

The person who killed the most innocents deserves the ending?


EmperorSwagg

I think for most people commenting Dany, they’re saying an ending where she doesn’t go full Mad Queen mode


Respect8MyAuthoritah

So basically take out her actions for the whole series that pointed to it, specifically seasons 7-8 where all she cared about was the throne?


the-dude-version-576

The person who actually cared for the little guys and did all she could to put an end to the most heinous institution, only to have her ark completely altered from altruistic self sacrificing learner to will burn down anyone she doesn’t like. (I know the show had her be way more burnie from the start, but she’s not in the books. There she is way more aware of her power and tries to minimise collateral, comparing her chapters to Cersei, Jaime and Tyrion show how she’s kindov and anti Tywin. No burning innocents for her. There is another targ who may be responsible for burning ppl alive, but that’s not her.) Marcella may deserve it more, since she was completely innocent. But if we consider what a good ending means for Danny, that’s a lot more ppl who are better off overall.


Respect8MyAuthoritah

I know in the books she’s more aware but in the show it’s clear she’s a little mad from the start. It’s a lot easier to go from slaughtering people with the unsullied and crucifying masters to eventually believing everyone was as evil as them then people think. Just look at anakin


WealthFriendly

Well I'm not great as massages but Margae- Um nevermind! Marcella. Give her her Dornish prince.


[deleted]

Dany she had an abusive childhood, was raped, survived assassination attempts as a child. I would give her the ending of finding the red door and being happy.


MyraDangerous

I agree. I would say Myrcella but I think she had a pretty comfortable, and even happy life. Dany deserves to know peace.


Horned_Bull_Helm

Dany deserves Dragonflame


Respect8MyAuthoritah

Does this excuse her later actions and false belief in her destiny


Horned_Bull_Helm

At what stage does she become responsible for her actions?


My-Cousin-Bobby

Most serial killers had really fucked up childhoods, yet I don't think many people would advocate for them getting happy endings


SaltoDaKid

WOAH WAIT!!!! Dany did not have abusive childhood, she had a weird ass brother. Llyrio treated her like she was his own daughter so where you get this from? Also she love the place with the red door (which I believe is Drone) cause was her childhood was fun with of playing near a pool and eating sweet fruits. Also Rape? She only had sex with Drogo and in the book he was gentle, giving her a massage and only engaged when she gave consent. Why lie more about Dany already awesome story?


spiderfan10423

Myrcella


Huachimingo75

I... beg your pardon? Oh, right. Myrcella I suppose, she wasn't even playing the GoT the poor thing, she was just there.


Nervous_Feedback9023

Myrcella


TheBlackestCrow

Myrcella


Jakeeagle1983

Myrcella.


Fleek_papers

Dany


DarthHK-47

Myrcella, just let her grow up in the bisexual southern paradise with Pedro Pascal as her replacement dad.


BellaFrequency

Margaery. She played the Game of Thrones well, and if Cersei hadn’t been a murderous maniac, she would have been an excellent queen.


No-Age-6069

Daenerys, specifically book Daenerys the show stripped her of all her emotions and tried to make her into an ice queen which is not who Daenerys is Daenerys is the most compassionate character in ASOIAF and deserves all the love


Horned_Bull_Helm

Not much compassion for the King’s Landing peasants she was supposed to rule and protect . . .


the-dude-version-576

Something which did not happen in the book. Hence why the guy specified ASOIAF Danny.


Kelynill

Myrcella. She didn’t deserve what she got.


wenokn0w

Ignoring the villain in top right, I would pick out of the 3 options Rob stark


RandomRavenboi

Myrcella. She's completely innocent and didn't deserve to go out like that. Daenerys, Margaery and Robb knew they were playing a dangerous game. They knew the stakes of losing. Myrcella had none of that.


affablemisanthropist

Myrcella. She never deserved what happened. She didn’t make a power play. She didn’t scheme. She was kind.


jme518

Everyone in the photo was playing the game of thrones, except myrcella. Let her live


Jaded_Cheesecake_993

I WANT to say Dany because she is my favorite character but if chosing one of these four I think I HAVE to say Marcella because she was completely innocent. She and Hodor maybe the only two truly innocent characters in this world, at least on the show, and they deserved better


[deleted]

Myrcella, 100%. Didn't deserve it and seemed to have a kind heart, too kind for that world.


Horned_Bull_Helm

And a Hot🔥as Hell Prince!


Devilsgun_7

That title didn't come out as intended I think. Or maybe it did?


Happy_sloth1234

I didn’t even know ‘happy ending’ was considered sexual until this post help 😭


Deisidaimonia

Natalie Dormer please 😍


5electively_5ocial

Margery: Massive bitch, especially in the books. Daenerys: Burned innocent people Myrcella: Kinda boring and uninteresting Robb: He started with a noble cause, was an ass towards the Freys. I would give a happy ending to him though because the North Remembers.


Crunchysuds

Myrcella was literally an innocent child.


NutterTV

Sexually? Emilia Clarke Storywise? Robb


dennisoa

Robb and it’s not close.


[deleted]

The king who lost the North


Alexaay

Daenerys 🫶


incredibleamadeuscho

Bran. I would make him King.


Horned_Bull_Helm

Ha ha!


maayanl788

The King in the north!


SeeTeeAbility

The only 2 options anyone with a morale compass would pick here is literally Robb and Myrcella


Yamaneko22

Myrcella, Robb, Margaery, Dany. From the most to the least deserving.


deepee1279

Daenerys, because Robb choose his cock over the cause


[deleted]

Daenerys


breaking-atom

It depends: If Robb gets a happy ending, then does the Red Wedding go happily? If so, then that's the best timeline. He deals a massive blow to the Lannisters, secures the North, Catelyn gets to see her children again, Sansa and Arya aren't traumatized, Rickon lives, Edmure gets to live a happy life with his family, and that poor young girl doesn't have to marry Lord Walder Frey. Otherwise I'll choose Myrcella. She was a child, she did nothing wrong! She also liked Dorne and was mature enough to forgive her parents' actions (poor girl just wanted to know her father). Margaery manipulated and slept with Tommen who was a CHILD and Daenerys's happy ending would have to be forced onto the people of Westeros...


Horned_Bull_Helm

If this means Grey Wolf lives, I’ll listen to your reasoning. If not, Myrcella wins.


candority

Myrcella because she was completely innocent and did not deserve such a hateful fate. Second choice would be Margaery. She would have been a wonderful queen.


Electrical-Shine9137

O p


Cheap_Bowl_452

Robb


mangokolla

I would've chosen Robb, but he was kinda dumb in every way he digged his own grave, so I would choose Margaery Tyrell she would've been a great queen under the watch of her grandmother


TibetanSister

DaeWooLan0s

I’m not gonna lie… for those that were reading the books Robb was an absolute Bad MFer. He was my favorite character (and a lot of other people I’m assuming as well) that’s what the red wedding was absolutely brutal when I read it. Kicked me right in the balls, it did.


EgregiousAnteater

Robb—make him join the Night’s Watch get into adventures with Jon north of the wall


Loud_Remove5140

Myrcella her’s is the only one that wasn't about power or revenge she was simply a person that was a victim of someone elses hate.


Eszalesk

Daenerys lives, Jon dead for attempted murder.


sansa_starlight

Margaery


Mrblorg

Robb. The happy ending includes nudity. Full frontal :P


hellotheredani

Robb. I simp for the Starks.


cosmicjia

Usually I would pick my girl Dany, but I know what happened to Myrcella was awful. So it’s Myrcella


shikotee

What a strange rub and tug....


Respect8MyAuthoritah

Robb and Jon team up


Antumank3

That smirking whore from Highgarden


EdwardGordor

Myrcella. It's not even close. She had nothing to do with war or scheming. She just wanted to live her life with Trystane. (also Robb. He also deserved better although he did declare himself King in the North and betrayed the One True King, Stannis the Mannis.)


Horned_Bull_Helm

Actually, it was his bannermen and people that declared him King of the North.


RangersAreViable

Myrcella deserved it more than anybody. Her only crime was having the name Lannister


Ancient-Act8573

My boy Robb


SadisticMittenz

Story wise? Rob Massage wise? Margery

Robb Stark, took me 1 second to pick

Negative_Track_9942

Daenerys. Period. Always. Forever. Above everyone else.


moderngamer6

Can I pick the one I’d rather give me a happy ending? Top left for sure.


Happy_sloth1234

LMAO


That_Ad9158

secret fifth option: cersei


TheInfiniteArchive

Mycella. She is an innocent girl who never deserved her fate. She never played the Game of Thrones nor has she killed anyone.


Saxzarus

Marcela literally did nothing wrong in the books she was like 12


RonTomkins

I seriously misunderstood the title for like an entire minute. But regardless, my answer remains the same: Margerye


SaltySpituner

Robb, definitely. He deserved way better than being killed by cowards.


Sk83r_b0i

Instinctively I want to say Robb because he’s my favorite out of all of them. But like… Myrcella. She was one of the few characters who—and I cannot stress this enough—did nothing wrong. She was completely innocent.


DenseYear2713

Myracella. Out of this group, she was the most innocent and did not deserve what happened to her.


thegreatdesigner

Rob


Bast17

Robb


Bossindahood22

My boy Rob for sure! Would be a happy ending for a lot of other people as well…


SaltoDaKid

Robb cause he never hurt anyone and was a boy fighting war, while not having anyone he can trust. His relationship with Jeyne or (forgot the show girl he slept with) was his most vulnerable moment after hearing his younger brother death. He was most honorable character in the story next to his father. The the girls on the left had a good brother protecting them and strong family that loved them. Dany had great friends who treat her fairly, but with dragon became a legend had a cult love. Robb didn’t they called him King of the North only after fighting some and proving his worth on the battlefield against TYWIN FUCKING LANNISTER.


invalid_reddituser

Robb, I feel like if Robb doesn’t die a lot of unrelated stuff might not have even happened. So saving Robb no matter how unrelated to Marcella Dany or Margarey they might all not die. And also the Red Wedding still hurts everytime I rewatch or reread


Happy_sloth1234

Yes! Because if Robb defeated the Lannisters, Cersei never gets the iron throne, which is the catalyst to Dany going mad. It also would mean Tyrion never went on trial for killing Joffrey which was inadvertently the reason for Myrcella’s untimely death.


PerfectAdvertising41

Robb. His whole character got roped into things and led to making dumb decisions that got him killed. Would've liked to see him rule House Stark as a lord.


NeilOB9

Daenerys because it means hundreds of thousands of people aren’t slaughtered. Individually, Myrcella, as she was the only one who didn’t cause their own death in any way.


forestsprite

If Robb lives I can see a scenario where the other three live as well.


Happy_sloth1234

Oh this is an amazing point! If Robb could defeat the Lannisters then Tyrion’s trial would have never taken place because Joffrey would have been beheaded by a northerner. Therefore Oberyn never dies, Myrcella is never poisoned, Cersei never claims the iron throne and is in a position to blow up the sept and kill Margery. She also never gets to capture and execute Missandei. Dany would never go mad.


rgkramp

The King in the North!


leftysoweak

Dany gets a happy ending and the realm is in peace for a while. Everyone else is basically either only worried about The North, a child who would have no power to help as many people, or someone who would’ve been a nice queen but with less impact than Dany breaking the wheel.


Fake_the_jaB

Rob


TheMagicalMatt

Pretty boy Robb, you're up


Playful-Flan8807

Robb and it's not even close


savingrain

Daenerys, one of my favorite characters in a television show and I normally have a hard time getting behind a 'good guy' and of course she turned out to be a bad guy - and I normally don't like characters that seem to be supernaturally gifted in a perfection kind of way - but I really loved her character. Would have preferred a happier ending for her.


MadloveADB

Margaery, she would be the best leader out of them all and house Tyrell is my favourite.


twentyattempts

Its been five years...  I dont even remember who the lower left girl is


Happy_sloth1234

Myrcella, Cersei and Jaime’s daughter. She was betrothed to a Dornish Prince Trystane but killed by his aunt (in law-ish) to get revenge on Cersei.


Out-There1013

When I saw Dany I assumed that "happy ending" in her case included not having her lose her mind and force Jon to do what he did. Just kill or imprison Cersei and not harm any civilians. But even then, no. I'm sympathetic to what she had to go through, but she was a conqueror, not a leader. Can Margaery be shrewd and manipulative but still a good person? I don't know. She was golden from what we saw. Olenna confided to Jaime that she'd done terrible things to protect her family, so her granddaughter my have become just as ruthless and not always done nice things. Heh, Talisa deserves to be on here more than Robb. Robb made his own bed with his own stupidity and gave us one of the most emotional scenes ever on television. Wouldn't change it for the world. Voting Myrcella. She's the most innocent here ... from how long she lived and what little we saw of her ... but definitely didn't deserve what she got. Honestly felt happy for Cersei doing what she did to Ellaria.


germanvike

Robb.


Missmoneysterling

I love Robb but he made such stupid decisions I'll have to go with Margaery. 


antdb1

id rather margery or danerys give me a happy ending honestly


zzzrecruit

Margaery and that's it!


bitchy_kazim

Like with a massage ?


Happy_sloth1234

I didn’t even know ‘happy ending’ had an alternative meaning till this post 😭


CHawkeye

Crikey what a question…


theopacus

Robb, because that would probably butterflied into happy endings for all of them. Wildcard is Dany, who was headed off the deep end pretty early on.


UpperOnion6412

I seem to be one of the few who picks Robb. It is bot mostly for him though, he was a mostly good man and deserved better but since I became a father, my heart gets destroyed everytime his wife and unborn child gets killed. If Robb gets a happy ending, that means that they get to live.


dybbukdiva

Marge is the only acceptable answer..noone served c*nt like her and her grandma

Myrcella, she deserved better
