Dany "running" to Viserys reminds me that Dany had already been running most of her life before that. And I LOVE that Drogo is "the sun will be guiding you" because sun and moon of COURSE and how he guides her to become a stronger person. I love how you show the Quarth people, the wine guy and the spider (with the sword in it to the music!) showing all the threats Dany keeps facing trying to literally stop her from being queen with her dragons. Which speaking of, I love how you introduce them with the egg shot, then one on her shoulder and then the bigger one in front of her. I love how you cut between the differen close/long shots of Dany and her dragons along with the knife and the prophecy women that brings to mind the other big prophecy that influences Dany in the future (plus comet shot is perfect!). And I LOVE how you show her chained with the "break out from society" which not only fits Dany overcoming what society thinks she should be but relates so well to her freeing of the slaves thing.
The back and forth of Dany eating the heart to the music is MY FAVORITE TIMES INFINITY!!! It gives me chills everytime I watch (a lot), I don't know how you came up with it but it is so beautiful and fits that back and forth of the music so well. This whole section is like a masterclass in editing, it's like CATE BLANCHETT TEACHING ACTING ;) I love Viserys hands everywhere to the chaoticness of the music and that great slam of him down to the music. I love how you don't do the quick cuts again but have the shot of the dragons flying around to the music, just soooo cool. And then I love all the shots of the Unsullied from different angles and the finale of the fire and her throwing down the whip was PERFECT! Dany is a slave no more, I love it :D
Oh god the change in the music to Sansa!! fskafhlfsahfk so incredible and that's when I start losing it because it's all so sad and beautiful. I love that slow shot of her on the ground in front of the Iron Throne to her looking in the mirror of what she's become and how other people see her as just something to be looked at. And then that shot of her mother doing her hair kills me with feels, so young aww :( I love her looking at the ocean wishing she could escape ("you don't have to hide away" sooo perfect) with the LION CHAIR OMG SYMBOLISM LOVE! How you cut that long scene of Sansa walking in to be married with her dress is one of the most hauntingly beautiful things I have ever seen in a vid with those beautiful overlays and when you hear the lyrics, "you'll be a man", it breaks my heart with how fast she has to grow up. SO MANY FEELS!! I love how you show everyone watching her and I am SO glad you paralleled Sansa and Roslin with their forced weddings and I can *feel* with their scared faces leading to that shot of her seeing the blood and realizing everything's going to hell now.
Then comes the section that is SO Hard To Watch and I don't even know how you vidded it but my god you did a fucking fantastic job. I mean that first scream is bad enough but then the cups pounding and being carried stuff juxtaposed against the sexual violence whether it be the main characters or non-speaking roles (it's so great that you don't ignore them) to the music is all so awful. I love how you use that foreboding sound of the music to show the just about to happen part with Robert and then with Drogo and Sansa undressing which makes it all the more creepy along with the punches to the gut with Brienne and what happened to Sansa and I'm glad you lead it up to Dany and Drogo with that final shot of the blood framing everything, being a representation of both sex and violence and just ughhh *cries and cries*
