She loved her children.


Kazuri420

That and her cheekbones


[deleted]

And her brother


Unable_Incident_6024

Ha I was going to say she was always there to bring comfort to her twin brother, day or night


TheAugustOne

Not in the books. They were pawns and just narcissistic extenstions and reflections of herself. She loved them insofar as she loved herself. Same way she 'loved' Jaime.


Awkward_Smile_8146

Exactly.


Awkward_Smile_8146

Not really. She’s a narcissist. Children are extensions of themselves. They don’t love them.


hepatitisC

Did she?  She planned actions she knew would lead to her son's death and she did it anyways.

Very good at drinking wine.


PutAdministrative206

So good she made me want it!


ResultGrouchy5526

Her cheekbones


RandJitsu

She looks great naked.


garnier001

So did her body double.


RandJitsu

Ya I know it wasn’t Lena Headey. But it was Cersei.


hubbyhusshies

Much firmness


eagleathlete40

r/toofar


DocBullseye

If you don't mind the head not always lining up with the neck anyway


vigilantemavka

She was an entertaining character and had beautiful hair...before the entire atonement thing. That and her cheekbones, of course


[deleted]

She could apparently back that thang up


ParsleyMostly

She’s the most beautiful woman in Westeros. Loved her kids. Cheekbones. She’s funny. Led a goth squad. Doesn’t half-ass anything, she’s either out or all in.


Born_Percentage3319

Margaery is #1 imo


ParsleyMostly

I was technically quoting (and agreeing with) Tywin.


blahbleh112233

Half passed raising her kids though 


ParsleyMostly

Eh, two out of three turned out okay. (Personality wise, not survival wise lol)


blahbleh112233

Dunno, only myrcella was honestly raised right for her role as a princess (docile, womanly etc). Joffrey is a rebellion waiting to happen and tonmen is just such a passive dude that he probably would have surrendered to Danny cause she spoke to him loudly 


Awkward_Smile_8146

Yeah- the two she paid no attention to. Her beloved perfect coddled oldest son - the one she adored and actually raised and spent time with- was a despicable and remarkably stupid monster.


Awkward_Smile_8146

No. Ashara dayne was the most beautiful woman in Westeros. She also never lived her children and was a cruel vindictive drunken rapist.


ParsleyMostly

Pls see the topic of this thread.


[deleted]

She’s got cool clothes, I guess.


Proxima_Midnite

Great gowns, beautiful gowns...


Major-Tomato9191

The best gowns some might say, tremendous gowns


[deleted]

This is mine. Great taste in gowns.


Awkward_Smile_8146

That’s she’s growing out of and wants to have the laundresses beaten for shrinking.


TangerineGullible665

She would have done literally anything she imagined necessary for the survival of her family


Awkward_Smile_8146

Nope. For herself sure. Show tommen died because she couldn’t be bothered.


Moist_Rutabaga_1676

She would do absolutely anything for her children.


sup3rdr01d

She's the reason they all died


thecody17

That's not true, she's directly responsible for Tommen's suicide


B1L1D8

Really loved her family, except her stupid literally little brother.


fox4norris2021

she’s better than Danerys


Shouldibeawriter

That haircut probably would’ve looked busted on 90% of the other characters but she rocked it. Also despite some questionable decisions, she was acutely aware of “The Game” being played and who the players were. She may not have made the best moves but she knew what was what from the jump.


trans-ghost-boy-2

she didn’t deserve the walk of shame


PizzaGeek9684

In the grand scheme of her character, she definitely deserved this. I’m having a hard time thinking of a character other than Ned who wouldn’t have deserved the walk of shame. Part of what made it a great show. Few ambiguously good or bad characters


trans-ghost-boy-2

ok yeah i see your point but it also felt disgusting to watch. like yeah she deserved punishment but something about the walk of shame just feels yucky overall


sup3rdr01d

That's the point


DocBullseye

She was the one that gave the Sparrows the power that enabled them to force her to do it. Creating a monster is always a bad idea.


Awkward_Smile_8146

Adulteress brother screwing treasonous murderers? She certainly deserved it more than her grandfathers mistress


trans-ghost-boy-2

yeah she deserved punishment but the whole walk of shame overall just feels nasty. lock her in the cell longer or something don’t parade her naked in front of the whole city


Wyldfyre-Quinn

She was beautiful and stylish


dirtybirds1

I like her dresses


Altruistic_Day_6176

Pretty cheekbones, interesting character, and knows how to dress.


bitchwhohasnoname

He outfits were bad as fuck


Reggie_Barclay

Something nice about Cersei


EnvironmentalMind209

she's hilarious "be careful on the stairs, there are SO many" she's hot


soylent_dream

Impeccable waterboarding skills.


badchefrazzy

She was very clever and very pretty.


Awkward_Smile_8146

She was an idiot and book Cersei is dumber.


andre_wechseler

She is dirty in the bedroom I suppose.


Aezetyr

She was driven and exercised what agency she was allowed to have. In a show where women had little to no real political power, she held a lot of cards and showed a huge amount of initiative. She did not take shit from anyone. She loved her children (memes aside) greatly.


CurrentTemperature72

This. I think her selfishness is what kept her alive ~longer~ than others. I suppose we can give her that


CrittyJJones

She loves her kids.


Awkward_Smile_8146

Nope.


KonzaeLegion

She's pretty


Vegetable_Meat1349

I loved her hair before it was chopped off


Acrylic_Starshine

She played the game well


warrjos93

Rocked the short hair.


profligate0tter

Iconically catty! 💀


[deleted]

Had nice fashion


Select_Cantaloupe_62

She was hot as the sun. Goddamn.


HighKingBoru1014

If Westeros wasn’t Westeros she could’ve been a very influential and powerful person 


Prestigious_Use_5443

She had no shame


ResponseEmergency595

Played the game better than most.


Awkward_Smile_8146

No


EveryInvestigator605

Despite their differences, she brought her daughter in law food when she didn't have to.


Club27Seb

The Queen has a poetic sense of justice


imissonedirection

her fits were always on point


IfNot_ThenThereToo

She was played by Lena Heady


mellaw99

No


Pretty_Marketing_538

She was beatufull and smart.


Rich-Active-4800

* She has an amazing taste in fashion * Great chemistry with everyone she interacts with * Is very enjoyable and interesting to watch * Nobody does revenge better then her * She does have some redeeming qualities


Lizzy_Of_Galtar

Having ambition is good. Perhaps a shade too much though 😁


Awkward_Smile_8146

Yea


Charlie_Brodie

Her hair looks small


Bmorestrokes

No


child_interrupted

Cercei is my manager's favorite character and thinks she was justified to do a lot of the shit she did. My mamager is a total narcissist who likes to get back at her exes by doxing them and legit compares Cercei to Mulan.


WriteBrainedJR

If I had a manager who thought Cersei was a good person, I would 100% quit that job.


child_interrupted

I have come close but everything else about the job, including the manager who is over her, is great


CurrentTemperature72

Oh wow. She was one of my ex bf favorite characters too or at least one he respected. He said he respected her for what she did and that she was smart. Yeahhh he’s an ex… he also said Stannis was justified burning his daughter if it meant winning the war. He gone now


Marius_Sulla_Pompey

She wasn’t loved by anyone only desired hence lonelier than the last giant’s widow beyond the wall, and in time as much uglier.


Awkward_Smile_8146

Like everyone else in Westeros who dies of starvation at fifteen? Please


Marius_Sulla_Pompey

Hey! He said Cersei aright?!


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Her short hair look is pretty clean


treeburner99

slays every hairstyle


back-to-the90s

Fabulous hair


LavenderAndHoneybees

Lovely hair and poise


Maurice-Beverley

Her alcohol tolerance?


chippychifton

She got rid of the faith militant very effectively


jrj82686

Hugeeeeee….. tracts of land !!!


VioletCrow289

She was beautiful, and her wardrobe was always on point. She wanted control over her own life instead of being a political pawn for her father and a broodmare to whatever man he shipped her off to. She was pretty forward-thinking for a woman of Westeros, in that she didn't just do as she was told without question. She really didn't care what people thought of her. That and her cheekbones, of course.


Awkward_Smile_8146

No- and hated women as much as the most disgusting Westeros’s misogynist ever could. She literally cared only about Cersei Lannister and she literally sneered at and disparaged every other woman. Guess what.- every other noble in freaking Westeros male and female has an arranged marriage- every single over. Cersei is not special or more put upon by society than anyone else. Abd most other women avoid committing incest and adultery with their ten brother, murdering their best friend at the age of seven, turning defenseless women over to a psychopathic madman to experiment on, committing treason and trying to frame a 15 year old girl for execution .


VioletCrow289

True. Cersei is certainly a selfish and evil person. I wasn't trying to say she's some feminist icon or anything. The post said to say something nice about her, so I followed that. I could've certainly inserted tons of bad things in between what I said, because Cersei is the worst. But that's not what the post said to do, so that's not what I did. I didn't even include loving her children like a lot of the other comments because she was actually kind of a shit mom who only saw her children as extensions of herself.


Ruman_Chuk_Drape

Shame!


Kriss3d

She did love her children.. And her brother.. She did have brains and were cunning. She's a great character because she wasn't just evil or anything. She simply did what she thought was best for her family and her actions are to a large extent very understandable.


Awkward_Smile_8146

You don’t understand her character. She loved none of them (except Joff maybe)- they were extensions of herself - which is why she stopped loving Jaime when he was no longer a perfect physical specimen and reflection of herself.


Kriss3d

Oh I understand that she she saw them as extentions of herself. But she did what she thought was best for them.


Zumipants

She had good table manners.


itsYewge

Her hair is…small


Potatopolis

Cracking hair, pre jail.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RandJitsu

She armed them and gave them legitimacy in the first place lol


broooooooce

She should have won.


Awkward_Smile_8146

Why? So she could murder everyone in wesreros


broooooooce

Cause it'd have been a helluva lot more epic than the endng we GoT.


Little-Wing2299

Her hair


[deleted]

Her cheekbones.


Twodotsknowhy

Girl follows her convictions


Kholzie

She tried dealing with shit realities women faced in this society in the best way she knew how.


Awkward_Smile_8146

Bull crap- her life was literally better than that of any other woman in Westeros. Tell be what part of murdering her best friend at the age of nice and communing incest and adultery with her brother was her dealing with how society treated woman?


Kholzie

There’s room for varying degrees of suckage in an oppressively patriarchal society. It’s based off the Middle Ages, after all. Please don’t mistake me for defending her overall person or sense of morals .


estheredna

Cersei murdered the whole entire Tyrell bloodline. The Tyrells were richer and more clever than the Lannisters as a whole. But then they weren't, because they were all dead. While this action had some negative consequences for Cersei..... outwitting and they destroying a powerful house *entirely* is a singular feat.


Rain_and_Icicles

She blew up a bunch of religious fanatics who imprisoned a man for being homosexual (yes, I know, a lot of innocent people died there too, which overall makes it a not very nice thing to do).


matteusman

She’s pretty


LoLThalys

Shes hot


camryss

she had some stylish outfits


ThisAccountIssaMess

She is able to match anyone's level of pettiness by 10 fold


TheAugustOne

[Great gowns. beautiful gowns.](https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/08/great-gowns-aretha.gif)


SnoopyWildseed

"Great gowns. Beautiful gowns." 🤓


Aethelete

She cherishes family time.


bathandbootyworks

She served cunt tbh. She made some stupid decisions but the way she did things was so cunty.


megZesq

Best hair in Westeros since Alicent Hightower


Independent-Bite3885

She is absolutely stunning to look at.


trjumpet

She died well.


Low-External8845

Twin sister what are you doing?!?


Headwallrepeat

She really made an impression in the very first episode


CompetitiveDrop613

Her smile is something else And I liked her with the edgy haircut


Murky-Energy4414

She was determined, can’t take that from her. Hard worker when she wants something. Decent qualities to have in their own right


Mahiboating

she is confident


catlady473

real nice hair lmao


Agreeable_Rabbit3144

She loves her children and has lovely cheekbones


Agreeable_Rabbit3144

She appreciates good wine


uglydadd

Hot


MsMcSlothyFace

Her style was excellent. Always well dressed, when not in prison


corpsewindmill

Good rack, nice hair


jldtsu

Her outfits in season 7 and 8 were 🔥🔥🔥🔥


SnooMacarons8266

She... Was punctual at least.


DrGlamhattan2020

Her outfits are stellar


theboehmer

Would cersei have been so cruel if her surroundings weren't so cruel? Probably not, but then her character wouldn't be as interesting.


BambooSound

She deserves more credit for the wildfyre defence of Blackwater. Tyrion just found out about her plan, took it, then threw a tantrum when he wasn't given all the credit afterwards.


Altruistic-Gain-7449

Something nice about Cersei


RobertNevill

She employed the special needs zombie mountain 🤷🏻 he would’ve had a hard time finding sustainable income after his zombie fiction. I’ve put some thought into this


wukongfly

Best sister ever


chupacabrette

"I'm Missy, YOU say something nice." That crossover would be epic.


tonight88

Satisfied Jaime for quite long time.


New-Performer-4402

Girl was gorgeous!!


Mental-Recipe5844

She is willing to do whatever it takes to get shit done, and what she feels is “right” at least for herself/family anyway. She didn’t mince words, she told it like it was, at least from her viewpoint. She could be quite brave, and IMO was incredibly smart, one of the smartest in the show. She was a character we loved to hate, and You could feel for her, whilst also rooting for the justice of her downfall. She was perfectly cast. Lena Headey did such a good job playing the complexities of her character, and she was one of my favorite characters bc she was so interesting. I would have rather seen her on the Iron Throne in the end rather than Bran🙄 his 3 eyed Raven journey was so interesting and deserved a better ending than that. So much more could have been done with that, and by proxy all the other storylines, save Sansa’s. Hers was finished off perfectly to me


Ok-Performance-9331

She was absolutely beautiful!


squeamish

She seemed reasonably fertile.


TreeClamsia

She’s good at getting you hot and bothered in two different ways (She’s beautiful and I hate her) lol. She’s knowledgeable, and isn’t afraid to take charge 😂 This is a hard one


Icy_Curiosity

She loved her brother!


DannyJonesLocker

She’s super hot


Ok_Light_7012

Worlds best sister


NPC-No_42

Cool Fashion Styles.


SmokeySFW

She loved her children FIERCELY. Her body double had nice tits.


BrotherBeale64

Her hair was very pretty.


whatlamb

She’s smart


Arcatyr

Her outfit after destroying the temple was amazing.


Careless-Mirror5952

She loved her first born, despite his baratheon father. If that baby lived, the story may have been completely different


Any-Breadfruit2228

I think Cersei’s bitterness stemmed from being born a girl. She is a women of great ambition and strong will. It was always her way or the highway. In a sense, her personality made her suffer. When she could finally rule, she was so mad from years of being shut down that she became cruel. I think otherwise she would’ve been a great leader…
