'Game of Thrones': The Lessons I've Learned from the Characters I Love
The final season of Game of Thrones is nearing its untimely end, and after eight long years, most fans are struggling with their goodbyes. However, this show has affected some people so greatly that it will always be a part of their lives, and I am lucky enough to be one of those people. No matter what, I will always carry the life lesson I learned from my favorite Game of Thrones characters with me, and I would like to share with you just exactly what those lessons are.

'Game of Thrones' Fans Disappointed
GOT fans have without a doubt endured some of the worst torture, in any series so far. In season one, we were thrown into the story instantly, yet by the end of it had already lost three main characters: Eddard Stark, Khal Drogo, and Robert Baratheon.

The Fall of the Throne
We have arrived at the end of a series that has been a part of us since 2011. 73 episodes. We witnessed the demise of characters that were dear to us and we cheered when others met a justifiable, brutal end. Yes, as fans of Game of Thrones (GoT), we were emotionally invested in the final season. Was it perfect? No. I don't think I have seen anyone state, "You know, I'm perfectly fine with the events that unfolded for the characters that made it to the final season." However, I have never seen this kind of outrage from certain people. I've seen that ridiculous petition that wanted the final season to be rewritten and filmed to the way that the "fans" wanted. I am curious, though, out of the thousands upon thousands that signed it, who gets to decide what the "proper" end is? I have seen the virtue signalers stating that the show wasn't diverse enough and that HBO should be ashamed.

'Game of Thrones': By Men for Men
Game of Thrones has some awesome characters. Epic worldbuilding and awesome scenes. It's just not always handled well. I'm not surprised, they've got a big cast and multiple points of view. The case is especially true to the way the women were written into the show. Maybe the show is too big for its own good and they need separate shows and films like Marvel does to help make their characters shine. At times it's great, but at other times, not so much.

Game of Homes
I am Jon Snow. I am Tyrion Lannister. I am Daenerys Targaryen. In a more literal sense I am Hanna of house Allison. A character not written by George R. Martin or Benioff and Weiss in any of the seasons, yet carefully depicted within the beloved people of the seven kingdoms. I related to the characters in this show on a level that took me by surprise, now it’s ending has broken my heart—and left my Sundays blandly free—but has also left me hope for so much more of what is to come for me. It turns out there is a place in the world for “cripples, bastards, and broken things.”

Eight Years Later: How 'Game of Thrones' Changed My Life
I was a bit late to the party of Game of Thrones because when the show started, I was still in high school and some of my classmates were already watching it. I didn't watch any original content that HBO put out back then because of how violent and really sexual they can get but as soon as I turned 18, I felt like I could finally explore all of the stuff they do put out. I'm 24 years old now and if you told younger me that this show was going to be on my radar, I probably wouldn't have believed you.
