Text/Ye Qiuchen

The background design of the show "Game of Thrones" is grand and grand, and the entire network of character relationships is intricate, including many difficult-to-understand emotional relationships. Most people are basically confused when watching the show for the first time, so they may not be able to distinguish the potential connections between the characters that appear. But once you become addicted to it, you will become more organized, and you can even discover some hidden secrets, including the long-lost brother of the White Walker.

After watching the show "Game of Thrones", you will find that although there are only two genders in the world, men and women, they can always find new breakthroughs and constantly refresh your emotional relationship with the characters. cognition.

As Jaime said to Brienne, you may not be able to choose who you fall in love with. Many times it is a moment of passion, many times it is the company of a long stream of water, but no one can stop the ferocity and strength of this feeling when it suddenly strikes.

It is difficult to understand and identify with, but it still exists.

1. Intermarriage between relatives of the Targaryen family

The Targaryen family is the family of the dragon girl Daenerys. It once established a family that ruled Westeros for 300 years. dynasty. The partner of Aegon I the Conqueror was both his wife and his sister, because the Targaryen family has always followed the tradition of incest that originated in Valyria to ensure the purity of subsequent bloodlines.

Therefore, when the Dragon Girl and her second brother Viserys Targaryen first appeared, although they were biological brothers and sisters, they did not seem to shy away from the private matters of men and women at all. This is why . The Dragon Girl's eldest brother, Rhaegar Targaryen, was the orthodox heir to the Iron Throne and the crown prince of the "Mad King" Aerys at the time. But because the eldest brother died unfortunately, it was the second brother who shouldered the burden of the family and the country.

The second brother is a man with a violent personality and eager for quick success. In order to regain the Iron Throne, he gave up the opportunity to marry the Dragon Girl and instead sold her to Khal Drogo in exchange for conquering West. The army of Luo Continent. Although the abacus made a slap in the face, he was ultimately defeated by his own stupidity and was burned to death by Drogo with molten gold water, leaving another member of the Targaryen family that was not surviving much.

In this day and age, marriage between close relatives is incomprehensible behavior. But for the Targaryen family, if the Dragon Girl hadn't completely lost a brother from the same family who could marry, they would still continue this "tradition".

2. The "love" of the twins James and Cersei

James and Cersei are both members of the Lannister family in Casterly Rock and are a pair of twins Siblings.

When Cersei first appears in the first episode of Season 1, she is Robert Baratheon's queen. As a result, at the end of the first episode, Bran Stark caught them having an intimate affair. Afraid of being exposed, Jaime pushed Bran down, leaving him disabled for life.

The Lannister family does not have the tradition of incest, but the father of these siblings, Tywin, also married his cousin, and their mother died in childbirth after giving birth to a dwarf devil. Although Cersei and Jaime are siblings, they behave more like a pair of lovers, and Jaime said that he has only had one woman in his life, his sister Cersei.

Cersei once said that she truly loved Robert, but Robert always missed Eddard Stark's sister Lyanna, so she had no chance to be with her husband. Probably out of a sense of revenge, her three children are all James's children, even the fourth child she is pregnant with in the eighth season.

Unfortunately, Joffrey was poisoned, Tommen chose to commit suicide, and even his only daughter Myrcella was framed in Dorne, causing her to lose all her biological flesh and blood.

While Jaime was being held captive, Cersei also found Lancel, who was also a member of the Lannister family, to be Jaime's stand-in. This behavior was even more incomprehensible.

Cersei said that no one can leave her.

However, her husband was killed by a wild boar because she and Lancel were tampering with each other in the wine. All three of her children are no longer alive. Her biological father was killed by a little devil. She Her brother and lover James also left because of her treachery. She betrayed all her relatives, but Euron still remembered her beauty and continued to follow her.

Although James made mistakes, he has now changed his ways.

The imp said that Jaime had always known what Cersei was like.

But I still love her.

Although the "love" between James and Cersei is difficult to understand, Jaime's infatuation is very touching.

3. Craster, who helped the villain, married his own daughter

Originally, we thought that the incestuous marriage of the Targaryen family and the love between James and Cersei’s brother and sister would be enough to shock us. , but I never expected that there would be a weirdo like Custer who married his daughters and had children.

Custer lived near the Great Wall and was a savage. He had children with his women, and if the offspring were girls they would remain his "wives", and if the offspring were sons they would be sacrificed to the White Walkers. Because the White Walkers cannot reproduce on their own, Custer's actions have increased the number of Night King's men, adding many important helpers to the army of death, which can be said to be a helper.

The woman Gilly, whom Snow's good brother Sam likes, is one of Custer's daughters and wives. Gilly was pregnant and gave birth to a child at the time, and because she was afraid that her child would be sacrificed to the White Walkers, she escaped with Sam. If not, she would definitely have died violently.

There is a small foreshadowing here. In fact, most of the Night King's White Walkers were transformed from Craster's sons. Although Gilly's son was not a transformed White Walker, he In theory, they are also "blood brothers". I don’t know if this line will play a key role in the subsequent plot, after all, they have the same blood.

4. The "love triangle" between Renly and the Knight of Flowers

Renly is a member of the Baratheon family, Robert's younger brother, and the former King of the South.

His nominal wife is Little Rose Margaery of the Tyrell family, but his real bed partner is Little Rose's brother Loras, the Knight of Flowers. This "love triangle" is also Still weird.

Being used to seeing all kinds of relationships between characters in "Game of Thrones", it is not surprising that Renly likes a man. But the most surprising thing about this relationship is Little Rose's attitude. She knew very well that her husband had no desire for the female body, and even asked her brother to join in the sex.

Little Rose’s three husbands were all once “kings”, but without exception, all of them died in the West. The first husband Renly was assassinated by his brother Stannis using the Sons of Shadow. The second husband Joffrey was poisoned by the Queen of Thorns and Littlefinger. The third husband Tommen was killed by wildfire in the church because he saw the little rose. And jumped to his death.

At this point, all the characters involved in this incomprehensible relationship have died.

5. The love-hate relationship between Xue Yi and Little Devil and his son

When watching "Game of Thrones", the relationship between Little Devil has always been the one that impressed Ye Qiuchen the most. He truly loves Xue Yi. Although the two of them are not from the same family and even have different body shapes, they are always by each other's side at critical moments. Before Tywin's trial of the little devil happened, their relationship could be called "true love".

However, how can there be true love in this world of power?

When the little devil was falsely accused of killing Joffrey and imprisoned, when he denounced himself in court as a dwarf and was rejected by others, and when he saw the woman he loved opening her eyes and lying and accusing him, you You will find that the emotion that once seemed to be "true love" is worthless at all, and the little devil's emotional world is completely shattered at this moment.

When he saw Shae again, the woman was lying on her father's bed, shouting the affectionate name "Lion" that once belonged only to her and the little devil.

The same woman lay on the bed of a biological father and his son, one of which was once considered "true love."

It’s so ridiculous and sad.

6. Prince Oberyn and his mistress Ellaria

Oberyn is a member of the Martell family and lives in the southernmost part of Westeros. Dorne, nicknamed the "Red Viper", and his eight illegitimate daughters are called the "Sand Snakes".

Because Red Viper likes both men and women, and his mistress Ellaria has the same orientation as him, the two will even introduce a man and a woman when they are intimate, and all four of them will interact with each other. , has an extremely strange interest in men and women.

Although they are not understood by others on this matter, the relationship between the two parties is quite strong. Oberon wanted to avenge his biological sister, so when he was a proxy knight for the little devil, he faced Cersei's Mountain and was unfortunately killed. The mistress put the blame on Cersei, and she did not hesitate to put poison on her lips and pass the poison to Cersei's only daughter Myrcella with a kiss, and she also wanted to kill her.

7. "Dragon Knight" Daenerys and Snow

Since the mystery of Snow's life experience was revealed, his relationship with the dragon girl Daenerys It completely changed.

It turned out that it was just the Dragon Queen falling in love with the illegitimate son, but now it has completely turned into an "aunt-nephew love", a veritable little dragon girl and "Xue Guo", a "dragon knight" riding a dragon.

Snow's biological father is Rhaegar Targaryen, and his mother is Eddard's sister Lyanna Stark. As the orphan of the former crown prince, Snow is more qualified to sit on the Iron Throne than the Dragon Girl.

I still remember that when Snow met the Dragon Girl for the first time, he was invited to Dragonstone Island.

At that time, the Dragon Girl said: "I am the last Targaryen, Jon Snow."

When the mystery of his life experience was revealed, this sentence became a Sarcastic jokes. Because the Dragon Girl is no longer the last and only descendant of the family, and the Iron Throne she longs for has a more reasonable owner. But the dragon girl's feelings for Snow are real. She even sacrificed a dragon to rescue Snow who was unable to escape from the White Walker attack. Although the Targaryen family is a consanguineous marriage that maintains pure blood, many people still find it difficult to accept the fact that the aunt-nephew relationship turned into "love."

From this point of view, the most innocent person is the Night King.

I want to fight with all my heart, without any distracting thoughts.
