LET ME TELL U HOW ABOUT THIS IMAGE I AM. Let me tell you. All through the show’s publicity, Brienne has been portrayed in fighting stances, glaring, grimacing, generally looking ready to fight someone, but this. This is the Brienne I have been longing to see. Look at that gorgeous soft expression on Gwen’s face, look how young she seems, look at that lighting drawing attention to those beautiful eyes.
And the sword: displayed prominently but not ready to wield, not looking to kill. She’s powerful here but not aggressive, she’s a protector, a nurturer, everything that GRRM’s Brienne of Tarth is and D&D’s Brienne should be.
I’m very emotional about this picture, guys.
