He didn’t kill Jon because he didn’t blame Jon,he blamed the iron throne. Drogon knew that the throne killed his mother. That scene was heartbreaking and perfect. He finished his mother’s wishes and broke the wheel. #GameOfThrones https://t.co/N84awCX3fS

It may seem like an odd thing to say, but I loved these two characters so much. Outside of Kit and me and everything else, I just loved them and what they shared. And it really does hurt to say goodbye. 💔 https://t.co/9nGkjXecmj
