55 Random Thoughts on Season 6, Episode 10 of Game of Thrones, “The Winds of Winter”

This post is full of spoilers. You’ve been warned.

I can’t believe it is already 10 weeks since we begin with the new season. And I’m dreading the long wait ahead until the new one begins next year. Anyway... I’m quite happy that this season ends well, not awfully like Season 5. Well, sure a lot of people died, but it was just nice, you know?

I have to watch it again because a lot of things are going on. Also, I woke up like 7 minutes after the episode begun (it’s 8 am here). K. Here we go. 

1. The opening credits has always been interesting, especially when they have new places. But today I’m just really happy to see the Stark’s direwolf back on Winterfell.
2. Anyhow... Is it just me or Cersei and Margaery’s dress look similar?
3. Dude. Loras! What was exactly Margaery’s plan for Loras? It breaks my heart when he said he’ll never marry because honestly he probably only ever loved Renly. :(
4. Oh, now he has that awful mark on his forehead.
5. Uh huh this smells like smokes already. Cersei will burn the whole city to the ground? I thought we’ll see that on the next season. 
6. Brother Lancel is following a little kid to the dungeon. Wouldn't do that if I were you.
7. I don’t even like Grand Maester Pycelle but it is so mean to make these little children/spies to do it.
8. That’s a lot of wildfire. Cersei’s really going to burn the whole city??
9. Stubborn, arrogant Sparrow. Margaery is clever, all right. Save yourself and your family, Margaery! 
10. Except of course, freaking Faith Militants.
11. Woot tiny candles.
12. Why did Lancel insist on blow the candles off? Like, why not put it off with your hands, maybe?
13. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Oh, okay, only the great sept then.
14. Poor Septa Unella. What did exactly they did to her?
15. Oh, Tommen... I would probably just want to die right then if I were him.
16. Aaand he was thinking the same thing. Oh man, Cersei’s prophecy is almost complete!
17. Ugh we’re at The Twins again. Other places are also dark, but this place is just so gloomy and unhappy. 
18. Shut up already, Walder Frey.
19. Cersei didn’t even shed a tear for Tommen? Like, the tears are making her eyes glazy but didn’t fall. Man...
20. I would probably react the same way as Sam if I see that kind of library.
21. No women or children. Okay. But do you have a waiting room?
22. Ahhh back at Winterfell... I’m still trying to get used to this. The Starks! Back in Winterfell!
23. When Davos said Shireen was like his own daughter... :(
24. But do tell me, Davos, what kind of wood was that?
25. The Davos x Melisandre ship is broken.
26. I’m really happy that Sansa didn’t actually trust Littlefinger and that she apologized to Jon...
27. I want to ship Jon and Sansa sooo bad but that doesn’t seem right.
28. “Winter is here.” And cue the House Stark music. And they’re laughing about that phrase. I’m gonna cry.
29. I almost forgot that Olenna wasn’t in King’s Landing.
30. VARYS! For God’s sake, he only said “Fire and blood” but that’s pretty chilling.
31. I’ve been feeling a little off about Daario because he’s overconfident sometimes. And he takes it pretty well.
32. I agree with this tweet. I think we all need Tyrion to help us through break-up(s).
33. Awwww Tyrion. Look at his face when Dany put the pin on. :’))
34. Hmmmm Frey pies.
35. Holy shit, Arya!!I didn’t saw that coming! How did she get there so fast? She stole a face from the hall?? But bravo, Arya!
36. Is this show making me a terrible person? 
37. “It’s a pretty picture.” BAHAHAHAHAH.
38. He’s calling Sansa my love... I’m glad Sansa just walked away. I was afraid she’s turning a lot more like Littlefinger.
39. Fuck yessssss Tower of Joy. Fucking finally.
40. GIVE IT TO MEEEEEEEE!!
41. Holy shit.
42. Lyanna is sooo beautiful.
43. Promise me, Ned.
44. Ned has such a hard time processing this information.
45. He’s opening his eyes! Wow such dark eyes and it’s all focused on his eyes.
46. Dude, I think they’re going to transition the scene into adult Jon’s eyes, for the sake of confirming it.
47. IT FUCKING DID. I’M SUCH AN EMOTIONAL WRECK RIGHT NOW. AND THE MUSIC IS MAKING IT WORSE. IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL. *crying*
48. I mean, they didn’t really say that Rhaegar is the father. But consider the R+L=J theory confirmed, right? Right??? *crying some more*
49. Lyanna Mormont is a tough little beast. I want to name him my queen.
50. Remember when Tormund said “Jon is no king” in the previous episode and now he’s King in the North?
51. He’s probably had enough with all the leadership though... hahahaha.
52. Cersei dressed up for her own coronation. Of course. Did she get the crown made with a design she specifically chose?
53. About the crown, I really like it. But I think the Baratheons (including Tommen and Margaery) have the most beautiful ones. Especially Renly.
54. I swear, the way Cersei and Jamie’s stare met was so full of electric charge. And not in a good way. Now that Cersei is the Mad Queen, I really want the rest of the theory to be true. (more on that later)
55. So after 6 seasons, Daenerys is finally sailing to Westeros. It gave me goosebumps. There are so many behind her!

So about the Mad Queen... In her prophecy, Cersei will die after all of her children, in the hands of Valonqar and I really want it to be Jaime. It’s gonna be a lot of more tragic if it was indeed Jaime who has to end her. And not to mention, he has to kill the Mad King Aerys before he burned King’s Landing and then finally ending Targaryen reign. If Jaime eventually kills Cersei (which I think will happen next season), it will make way for another Targaryen to rule. Tragic, right? And the music in this episode is just superb.

Okay, okay. Let me just say, again, that I’m glad the season didn’t end with a horrible cliff-hanger like season 5. And I can’t believe it’s already ending. I will surely going to spend my days reading a shitloads of theories and any news regarding Game of Thrones. See you on the next season!

1. Emang suka ngantuk gitu sih kalau lagi puasa...
2. Doodling.
3. Mesjid deket kantor. Dekeeet banget.

Kok judulnya bikin seneng ya. 25/52. Ehehehehe.
Minggu ini Battle of the Bastards jadi trending topic banget di antara saya dan temen saya Ochi. Layak diperbincangkan banget deh. Jantungan dan deg-degan parah pas nontonnya, tapi puas banget sama ending-nya. Terus tau-tau Senin besok udah season finale aja... :(

Dan hari ini yang lagi rame diomongin adalah Brexit. Kali aja ada orang Inggris yang baca blog saya ini, sabar yah. (Tapi ngucapinnya pake bahasa Indonesia)

56 Random Thoughts on Season 6, Episode 9 of Game of Thrones, "Battle of the Bastards"

This post is full of spoilers. But if you don’t care about that kind of thing, then go ahead. But honestly, if you’re avoiding spoilers, you should just get off your gadget for now. 

I’ve been anxiously anticipating this episode since they revealed that it’s going to be called ‘Battle of the Bastards’. I think we all do. Were you all as scared as I was?? But first, let’s give it up for the show on how very appropriately they entitled this episode. And it's aired on Father’s Day, too. In the US, at least (we, down under here, celebrate it on different time). It’s also very satisfying that this episode is exactly 60 minutes long.

I’ve been reading a lot of predictions and fan theories on the show that I kinda already know what’s gonna happen, thanks to them. But watching those things came to live on the TV screen is still shocking and thrilling. So, yeah. I think I cursed a lot watching this episode and I'm fasting! May Allah forgive me. And do, enlighten me if you happen to know the answers to some questions/confusions I stated below. Okay, here we go!

1. Tyrion being scolded just by Dany’s gaze. It’s cute but I’m also a bit worry about him. He’s my favorite. Apart from Jon.
2. Dany actually listens to him! This is amazing. I actually thought she’s gonna be like, ‘You’re fired,’ and proceed to do whatever she feels like doing.
3. CMIIW; the conversation between Tyrion and Dany was in the pyramid, right? How did they get to wherever they are right now (it’s like a rooftop?) so fast? Dragon ride?
4. Tell them, Dany. Honestly, you guys, did you not aware of what dragons could do? ‘Slaughtered them’. Pfft.
5. Okay, I guess not! She prefers to just burn the enemies alive. 
6. Does this mean we’ll get to see the other dr–OMG, the three of them!! I want Rhaegal because he’s the green one.
7. It’s cool that Grey Worm spare the live of the one being blamed by his two friends. Tyrion definitely planned this.
8. Wait! What about Yara’s fleet?
9. Oh, off the North we go. Will the battle occupy the rest of the duration?
10. I find it hard to believe that Iwan Rheon almost played Jon Snow. Guess how many times Ramsay said ‘bastard’ already.
11. “You're going to die tomorrow, Lord Bolton. Sleep well.” YASSSSSS SANSA, MY QUEEN.
12. Tormund was just nodding when Jon brief them of the plans? Is he nervous? Lol.
13. Jon, Sansa, my babies, don’t let this battle drift you apart, please. :(
14. Okay, I love you, Sansa. But to be honest, you should definitely tell Jon you’re expecting more army instead of just saying, ‘We need more men.’
15. Also, Sophie Turner, marry me.
16. I have this strange image of Arya just coming right through when Sansa said, “No one can protect me. No one can protect anyone.”
17. Lol again at Tormund. His special drink is goat milk? Hahaha. So hey, maybe Davos will find some kind of inspirations to add more to the battle during his walk. 
18. Melisandre is being really humble about Jon’s resurrection. I’m really glad she’s not letting Jon tell him not to bring him back again.
19. Let’s all be grateful for how easy it is for people of Westeros to find small tokens on the ground. Example: Jorah finding Dany's ring and now Davos finding Shireen’s wooden stag. It’s wooden, right? What wood was that thing from? How is it not burned to ashes??
20. Dany x Yara. Yara was like, “I’m not here to propose you, but I’m open to any possibilities.” Bahahaha flirty. Imagine if they just get together and burn down the patriarchy in Westeros. There must have be some fanfics about them already now.
21. I’m surprised they’re not asking for more. And just the prospect of these women being rulers make me happy.
22. Oh, the call for war. The freaking chillssssssss. 
23. Ramsay dragging something with a rope. Is it Rickon’s dead body??
24. For God’s sake, he’s alive! Now I'm really scared for him. 
25. Jeez, I thought it will be easier if he’s already dead rather than seeing him die on screen.
26. Ramsay’s going to release his hounds and make them chase Rickon!!!!!!
27. No, he’s not! I’m fucking glad that didn't happen.
28. How good was he with archery, though? Ha, missed! How far could a fucking arrow go, anyway?
29. I understand that Jon just couldn’t stay there watching Rickon running to him, but Jon, don't go too far. 
30. Just a few more feet to go! Ramsay kept missing, I thought Rickon really got a chance. Maybe not run in straight direction, Rickon.
31. Ramsay, you motherfcker! We were so close to another Stark reunion!! They didn’t even get to say anything to each other... RIP youngest Stark pup, Rickon. :'((
32. Go!!! Kill them!!!!!!
33. Jon, too close, too clooose! Back off! Back the hell off!!
34. I didn’t sign up to be the witness of his death, again!
35. And then his own army was just like WOOSH through him before he actually hurt someone with Longclaw. Lol at his face. He's such an idiot sometimes. This meme is accurate. 
36. Dude, will the Umbers reveal themselves as actual Stark loyalists?
37. Well, nope. Smalljon Umber and his men are attacking from behind this half circle wall of army thing. Fucking traitors.
38. Wun Wun from afar looks awkward just swinging his hands in every direction. If I were him, I’d crowd surfing on them. And instead of catching me, they’d just be crushed. A lot of them at once. Okay, that’s dark. Sorry.
39. Please don’t kill Tormund.
40. It will be so stupid if Jon die from suffocation. At least he’s gonna faint now. But don’t, Jon! You’ll end up like fruit jams if you faint.  
41. He didn’t! Breathe now, Jon.
42. Knights of the Vale sure knows how to be dramatic. And it’s cute that their sigil is white falcon. It kind of looks like dove, as if they’ve come to bring peace.
43. Sansa is sooo pleased with herself now. But seriously, gurl, shoulda tell you brother before he run to the front line of the battle. 
44. Thanks, Baelish. What does he want in return, though? My baby, Sansa?
45. And now off for Ramsay. I hope he doesn’t have more men to surprise-attack Jon. 
46. Winterfell and Castle Black looks like the same place. I hope Wun Wun crushed some men to the wall again.
47. Oh, you want to fight one to one now? That’s a desperate attempt. He knows he’s losing.
48. The determination in Jon’s face.
49. I was a bit teary when Jon’s punched the hell out of Ramsay’s face. It’s like... just so emotional and after all he’s gone through, here he is again bringing justice for his family...
50. But then, I thought he ends Ramsay there because goddamn HBO Asia kind of cut it out so I didn’t see the part where he was still moving.
51. Rickon looked like Olly? And it’s just awesome that they get to buried him in the Crypt of Winterfell.
52. I’m so happy that Jon let Sansa finish Ramsay.
53. “I’m part of you now.” This man is repulsive.
54. FINISH HIMMMMMMMMM, SANSAAAAAAA. Then I whisper to myself in satisfaction, almost like hissing, “Yessssssss he’s dead.”
55. Walking out like the boss she is. Can we have this scene parallel with Jon and Arya’s scene?
56. Great episode! I feel so weak now. It was such a roller coaster that made my heart skipped a few beats. 

I feel like HBO Asia cuts off quite a lot of scenes, not just the gory ones. Luckily I watch the episode again today (yes, I’m such a GoT trash T.T) and managed to see what I didn’t see. I almost didn’t see Viserion clearly on TV earlier this morning? They didn’t show that scene when the ship broke in two? Or were my eyes fooling me? Or you do you guys, HBO Asia subscribers, agree with me? OMG one episode left!!!! See you on the finale!

1. Tegak lurus.
2. Minta diunyeng-unyeng banget.
3. Es kelapa +alpukat ulala~
4. Hai.

Gimana puasanya, temen-temen? Walaupun cuma kena panas matahari sebentar aja pas mau berangkat ke kantor, tapi doyan banget deh buka pake sop buah atau es kelapa dan alpukat kayak di atas. Terus ditambah gorengan. IOTD banget (iftar of the day haha). Jadilah tenggorokan sering ngadat dan harus minum larutan penyegar dan semacamnya biar nggak jadi radang tenggorokan.

Ada banyak film baru yang rilis nih, tapi saya belum nonton karena bokek. Hahaha. Awas pokoknya kalau nanti THR turun, mau langsung kabur ke bioskop! Ngomong-ngomong nonton, ini udah nggak sabar sekaligus ngeri nungguin episode 9 GoT Season 6. Just a few hours away! 

35 Random Thoughts On Season 6, Episode 8 of Game of Thrones, “No One”

Here’s the thing. I’m admittedly addicted to Game of Thrones and after new episodes, I will read a few reviews and some other articles predicting what will happen on the next episode. I regularly read ‘Game of Game of Thrones’ on The Verge because I like the writing. And also every BuzzFeed article regarding GoT. Just because I open that site everyday at work.

And I know I should do this thing earlier, but I decided to do this now, on episode 8. Mainly because my phone and the charger was dead this morning so I can’t ~pour~ these thoughts on Twitter. So here it is, BuzzFeed style, full of spoilers, not really a review post. Some are may not even in regular orders and I don't even know what photos I should put on this post. Here you go!

1. Oh, Lady Crane changed her lines. Room for improvisations is important, I agree. I kinda miss Cersei with that long hair though.
2. I thought we’ll see that actress playing Sansa, still on the side of the stage again. I wonder how damaged her face is?
3. Oh hey, Of Monsters and Men are still there on the balcony.
4. Wait, is this Arya? She’s somehow Lady Crane now?
5. Do you think Arya would wish she’s good with needlework like Sansa, just so she can stich herself whenever she’s hurt like this?
6. Is Lady Crane actually the Waif??? I read too many theories. This show is driving me insane.
7. Who are these bunch of...? Ah, nevermind. The Hound already end them. Back to the dark side!
8. But where is Varys going?
9. Pffft can these Faith Militants even fight for real? But yea, the Mountain is scary af.
10. Bronn and Pod! Haha
11. Ew, Bronn. It’s nothing like that.
12. I think somehow, somewhere, Pod or Brienne thought about getting it on, but then they decided to keep away from that sort of complications. No?
13. I still ship Brienne and Jaime. But also Brienne and Tormund.
14. They’d turn to enemies when night falls! I hope we don’t have to see them fight each other. I’m happy that Jaime let Brienne keep Oathkeeper.
15. Jaime’s declaration of love is full of threats. And he said that “things we do for love” thing again!
16. Edmure is marked for dead, like Blackfish said. And the guard would wish he’d listen to that old man.
17. Blackfish! There’s room for you on the boat, you stubborn! Bye, I guess.
18. Do you think Jaime’s golden hand kind of sparkles when hit by the dim light so that Brienne know it was him?
19. Okay maybe they haven’t been rowing that far. Unlike Genry. I don’t even know the importance of his character anymore.
20. Tommen is an idiot. I thought he was sad and felt guilty that he couldn’t do anything about Cersei’s walk of shame?
21. Whatever, Tommen. The Mountain is wasted now.
22. What rumor, Qyburn??
23. Tyrion, Grey Worm, and Missandei again. At least they’re making jokes now, not just some awkward conversation.
24. Do we get to see Viserion and Rhaegal?
25. Oh hey, Dany. Taking the Drogon Express, eh? Please don’t let this episode end with her doing crazy CGI stuff again.
26. Glad to know the Brotherhood without Banners are still not as bad as those jerks.
27. Hahaha The Hound still prefer chicken.
28. Poor Lady Crane.
29. I thought the Waif was running while holding a sword, but it was a dagger. And the theory about Arya planning the whole attack was wrong?
30. How about don’t leave any blood trace, Arya?
31. Damn the theory wasn’t fully wrong!
32. Yes. Cut that bitch.
33. Wave them bye, Waif.
34. Arya Stark of Winterfell! And she’s going home! Another Stark Reunion??!
35. But does this mean we didn’t get to see Jaqen anymore? I mean, I don’t know if I still like him, but Tom Wlaschiha is hot.

I read that the rumor was about the wildfire. And I don’t mind if the theory of Cersei being the Mad Queen is true. Also, I didn’t notice it before until I saw this Tumblr post. The shot of Arya leaving Jaqen and the Faceless Men behind was similar like when Jon was leaving the Night’s Watch. 

And Preview of episode 9 is KILLING ME. AND WHY WOULD JON SAID THAT? WHAT IF he ends up like this again? :((

I may be back for the Snowbowl. Or not.

1. Monolog.
2. Ngopi abis berbuka puasa.
3. Tumben nih tidur di atas meja.

Kemaren itu sempet foto beberapa hal di sekitar rumah, tapi lupa dipindahin ke laptop jadi yaudah pake foto ini aja. Terus mau posting foto bareng temen tapi itu bukan foto saya dan challenge ini sebenernya harus pake foto yang saya jepret sendiri kan? Jadi ya gitu deh, segini aja dulu. Huehe.

Sabtu lalu akhirnya nyobain Genki Sushi bareng geng sekalian temu kangen. Terus ketawa-ketiwi ngobrol di Monolog Coffee. Dan hari ini hawa-hawanya udah mau liburan dan agak males kerja deh. Hahahahahahalesan.

Btw, penembakan Christina Grimmie sama yang di klub gay itu serem banget ya. Sama-sama di Orlando pula kejadiannya. :'(

1. Leo and Raph.
2. Donnie and Mikey and some others.
3. Taking a break.
4. Wrote two short scripts for this series, but not this one.
5. What's up, ladies?

Udah bulan puasa lagi aja. Selamat menjalankan ibadah di bulan Ramadhan ini ya, teman-teman. Semoga puasanya lancar-lancar aja.

Selasa kemarin screening film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows di Summarecon Mall Serpong. Tumben banget di Tangerang. Nggak deket banget juga sih, tapi seenggaknya seneng karena nggak usah berurusan dengan kemacetan Jakarta yang nggak ada habisnya. Setelah nonton film itu, baru weekend kemarin saya nonton film pertamanya. Hahaha.

Terus Kamisnya masih lanjut kejar setoran syuting, malahan dieksploitasi (woelah) disuruh main di 7 episode. Untungnya syutingnya lancar dan cepet banget. Apalagi diimingin Hanamasa. Haha jadi hari itu sorenya emang udah pada rencana mau makan bareng di Hanamasa, ceritanya penutupan sebelum puasa. Dan belajar dari pengalaman, kali ini makannya nggak sekalap dulu. Jadi setelah selesai makan, kenyang, tapi nggak kekenyangan. Terus enak yah Hanamasa yang di fX, bisa ngambil minuman sendiri. Walaupun saya cuma ngambil es kopinya sih. Enak. :'( Eh terus di jalan pulang masih juga ngemil popcorn. Oke, cukup ngomongin makanannya.

Tanggal 3 kemarin album ke-8 Tegan and Sara rilis. Saya sempet mau ikut pre-order tapi gagal karena nggak kebagian yang ada tanda tangannya. Di store yang di AS dan Canada waktu itu masih ada yang edisi tanda tangan, tapi nggak ngirim ke Indonesia. Sebel. Kalau maksa beli dari Australia, bisa sih, tapi mahal banget untuk sebuah CD (fans perhitungan). Terus sekarang bingung sendiri mau nyari di toko CD di sini, nggak tau di mana lagi yang lengkap. Tapi! Untungnya ada Spotify. Dan untungnya Tegan and Sara juga gencar banget promoin, untuk di-download di iTunes maupun streaming di Spotify. I feel so many things listening to this album. Dan parah sih, lagu-lagunya Sara. Dia emang lebih nampol deh kalo nulis lagu pop. Love them to death, pokoknya. ❤💕
