She killed the Black woman, so she got to DIE. Only one I trust on this job is Arya. While y’all was having drinks and conversating, Arya was turning down marriage proposals and practicing with her bow and arrow. Get a real one. #ThronesYall #DemThrones pic.twitter.com/psyYtvO7sC

Missandei was just tryna settle down with her mans. Hit up some brunch spots and go to Lennox and you do her dirty like this. Unbelievable. #DemThrones

We didn’t see it coming.
Rest in peace Missandei.
I seriously DO NOT get the appeal of this show. Never saw it, and never wanted to see it lol.
If you never saw it then how could you? TF? Lol
My initial reaction few years ago, until I finally started watching, been a fan ever since
I’m black and I loved Missandei. But Cersei is bae lol. The biggest TV villain of all time! ?
