A Letter to the Lannister Family

Or really me complaining about my new favorite show.

A Letter to the Lannister Family
Screenrant

I have always been the one late to the party with television shows, but I always seem to miss the biggest spoilers and never get told how it ends. This time after months of my friend Doug telling me about Game of Thrones, and hearing my grandparents enjoying it, I HAD to start it! I'm only on season two episode seven, but I am hooked, I even bought the books. But something about the Lannister family struck me as off, even hateful? I decided since I can't send parchment and a raven to the family, I'll just complain about them on the internet, that's what real people do right?

To the family who rules the Westerlands, thank you for showing me what true dislike really is. Times are different, but betrayal never changes. Starting from the great Queen Cersei herself having relations with her twin brother and strengthening her dislike toward (now deceased) husband King Robert Baratheon. Ending with none other than Joffrey, the arrogant little boy who is the one person that shouldn't have power becoming king. I'm not sure why I have so much dislike for a powerful family who obviously knows to right their wrongs and stay knowledgeable (except Joffrey). Your saying being, "hear me roar," but aside from Tyrion I only hear you whimper. Cersei you being so full of pride to allow Joffrey to take the iron throne and start the war of lifetime. Assassinating Eddard Stark when his life was more than the Lannisters combined.

To the family who's sigil is that of a mighty lion being ironic because the family is a bunch of cowards. So caught up in the downfall of the Targaryen's many years ago, that you are too blind to see how many houses wish to see your own downfall. But with all of the bad your family has caused, a good has come from it. Tyrion Lannister, the wicked mind with the drunk body full of knowledge. The one who wasn't in this for a war, but to survive and keep friends as friends not enemies. The family of poison apples, using the one bullied being the candy apple. I might not like this family, but I await the episode they fall and their kingdom is destroyed.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
