History GameOfThrones / TropesTToZ

* WhipItGood:
** Rakharo uses a whip to take down Viserys and the wineseller who tries to poison Daenerys.
** Nymeria Sand uses a whip as her favored weapon. [[spoiler:Euron strangles her to death with it]].

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Daenerys grows from a timid princess into one of these.

* WeaponOfChoice:

** Before the [[spoiler:Red Wedding]], Talisa asks Robb if their baby is a son, they can name him [[spoiler:Eddard Stark]], in memory of Robb's father. Of course you can, [[spoiler:if a certain crazed old man didn't lure you all into a devious trap to [[KillEmAll kill you all]]. Sure enough, neither the father, mother or the baby lived.]]

** The mutineer Karl Tanner is a KnifeNut.

* TooHappyToLive: The Starks. At the beginning, they’re pretty much the only great house of Westeros who aren’t [[BigScrewedUpFamily screwed up]] (or [[IncestIsRelative screwing each other]] for that matter), have lots of healthy, well-adjusted kids, Mr and Mrs Stark are HappilyMarried and their people adore them. From Season One onwards, it’s all downhill for them and at this point, there are only [[spoiler: a handful of them left alive]]. [[spoiler:Robb and Talisa]] get hit with this especially hard. [[spoiler:They’re in love, HappilyMarried, seemingly manage to smooth over the botched alliance with the Freys and have just found out they’re [[BabiesEverAfter having a baby]]. Then they attend a certain wedding…]]

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech:
** Tyrion telling Shae that [[spoiler:despite the betrayal and outmaneuvering by his family, he wants to stay in King's Landing because he both ''belongs'' there and he ''likes'' playing the game against his family and the other manipulators of the city.]]
** Littlefinger's awesome "chaos is a ladder" speech to Varys. Destroying "the Realm" isn't the end, it's an ''opportunity''.

* WhoMurderedTheAsshole: Following the episode when [[spoiler:Joffrey is poisoned at his own wedding,]] who has motive to kill him? How long have you got? We've got
** [[spoiler: Tyrion, humiliated by Joffrey repeatedly, both prior and on the day, growing gradually more horrified by Joffrey's cruelty and general insanity over the preceeding season, knowing Tommen would be a better king, smarting from general hatred of his horrible family and particularly the recent loss of Shae, very publicly carrying his nephew's cup around right before the event
** Sansa, Joffrey's abused, disgraced and humiliated former fiance, who has just had her brother's brutal murder (at another wedding, no less) flung repeatedly in her face, who has spent the previous season getting increasingly quiet and (potentially) bitter, crushed, and/or desperate, also picking up and passing the cup to Tyrion
** Margaery, a clever and ruthless political manipulator who has discovered that her power-play/self-preservation wedding has turned out to be with a complete psychopath, feeding her new husband pie
** Her brother Loras, (also heartbroken and humiliated following the death of his lover Renly, Joffrey's enemy, and perhaps to protect his sister) or her aunt Olenna, suspiciously hovering, making pointed comments about Lannisters and wedding-murders and shooting Joffrey disgusted looks (though in all fairness, that implicates most of the attendees), having the cup placed in front of her by Tyrion before he attempts to leave
** Varys, with his network of "little birds" and his confessed motivation of doing everything "for the good of the realm." It's difficult to argue that Joffrey being king is good for anyone, least of all the Realm
** The Dornish guests, with their bitter hatred of the Lannisters for past hurts
** Ser Dontos, Joffrey's humiliated (sensing a theme here?) former knight and Fool, who appears right before Joffrey dies to tell Sansa to get the hell out of there.
** Anyone connected to either of the remaining Five Kings, particularly Stannis, though poison doesn't really seem the Lord of Light's style]]

* Who Murdered the Asshole: Following the episode when Joffrey is poisoned at his own wedding, who has motive to kill him? How long have you got? We've got
** Tyrion, humiliated by Joffrey repeatedly, both prior and on the day, growing gradually more horrified by Joffrey's cruelty and general insanity over the preceeding season, knowing Tommen would be a better king, smarting from general hatred of his horrible family and particularly the recent loss of Shae, very publicly carrying his nephew's cup around right before the event

** Anyone connected to either of the remaining Five Kings, particularly Stannis, though poison doesn't really seem the Lord of Light's style

** This trope is the entire motivation for Ned's actions regarding an attempted coup, as [[spoiler:shortly prior to King Robert's arranged death, he discovers the king's three children were born of [[BrotherSisterIncest the queen's brother]], and slightly modified Robert's last will and testament from "to my son Joffrey" to "the legitimate heir". Being that King Robert had no legitimate children at the time of his death, in Ned's eyes and the eyes of the law, the throne should pass to Robert's younger brother [[NoSocialSkills Stannis]] instead.]]

** Daenerys in the final season. Many see her as a liberator, an image she constantly builds on with her speeches about "Breaking the wheel". However, personal ambition remains one of her major motivations and [[spoiler: she proofs quite willing to slaughter any number of innocents to achieve her goals.]]

* WeddingDay:
** A singularly depressing one for [[spoiler:Tyrion and Sansa]] in "Second Sons".
** Followed not long after by "The Rains of Castamere", in which Edmure Tully gets married to one of the Frey daughters, [[spoiler:and then Robb, Talisa, Catelyn, and everybody else in the Stark party is murdered.]]

** "Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken" is the first episode to feature a marriage purely in the tradition of the old gods.

* In the final season, Arya and the Hound depart from Winterfell together (on horses) toward King's Landing, with the armies of Daenaerys' and Jon's alliance leaving after them toward the same destination (most of them on foot), along the same road. The two of them end up arriving at the capital to find it already besieged by the army which marched out behind them, meaning a thousands-strong force overtook and passed them with enough time to set up a siege (and for Dany and her court to travel to Dragonstone and back twice on boats). Neither group ran into any complications or delays shown on screen along the way.
