How are you similar to Brienne and how have you created differences? There are some obvious similarities physically: we both have the same stature, she is a character who has felt marginalized due to the way that she looks and she is very androgynous. Those were all things that I could totally understand and connect with. The differences really lay in that before I started Game of Thrones, I was someone who wanted to lie on the sofa and eat chocolates and Brienne is a very physically active character who is incredibly strong, adept, and accomplished. I had to really go there on the physical stuff. I had to really start working out. I lost a lot of weight; I gained a lot of muscle. I had to really learn how to be a badass and do some serious shit kicking. – Gwendoline Christie

“Many people remarked on social media about how refreshing they found it that the chest piece of the armour wasn’t moulded like breasts, and that it was a functional piece of armour.”

Brienne of Tarth by Helen Sloan

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. 

CHIVALRY RIGHT HERE (also I like how the light is catching her blonde eyelashes)
