Did God feel good about that? He felt powerful.

I do not think I have ever watched any supernatural show where I did not love the over-competent human sidekicks best.
“When [Keith] tries to defend the woman who abandoned them both, Veronica says to him, “The hero is the one who stays”. Time and time again, Keith is her hero - the hero’s hero. The quality of his character reflects on hers, and makes Veronica more admirable: after all, she too is the one who stays, never turning against her father in spite of public abuse.” [x]

He pushed himself to his feet. “Don’t lie, Sansa. I am malformed, scarred, and small, but…” she could see him groping “…abed, when the candles are blown out, I am made no worse than other men. In the dark, I am the Knight of Flowers.” He took a draught of wine. “I am generous. Loyal to those who are loyal to me. I’ve proven I’m no craven. And I am cleverer than most, surely wits count for something. I can even be kind. Kindness is not a habit with us Lannisters, I fear, but I know I have some somewhere. I could be… I could be good to you.”
#tyrion’s relationship with sansa is basically a micro version of his morality arc #and vice versa #in tyrion’s case it’s an attempt to find goodness in himself #despite growing up with despicable role models #and constant physical and mental abuse #he wants so badly to find goodness in himself #and he tries so fucking hard with sansa but like #he doesn’t really fully grasp the idea of how to be good #and more importantly he can’t fully connect with the person he’s trying to be good to #but he could be kind he says #he could be and he aspires to be and sometimes he is #but tyrion’s never really experienced what it’s like to receive empathy from anybody so how can he really give it to this scared little g… #and sansa #what is her story if not being terrified of the people around her #every single one of tem trying to exploit her and use her and abuse her #after her father’s death she can’t afford to trust people anymore #so when tyrion tried in small ways to reach out she just can’t accept it at face value #but what is true with both of these characters is that while one is trying to reach out and fails #and one is trying to protect herself #both of them silently yearn for someone to trust #tyrion is looking for someone to be kind to #sansa is looking for someone to be kind to her #and neither of them can really show their true face in the pit of snakes that is king’s landing

Game of Thrones - Gwendoline Christie on Brienne, the Kingslayer, and Taking Pee Breaks in Armor
I mean, he [Nikolaj] seems to be afflicted with a terrible disorder whereby he can’t leave his character at work.
The argument that Nikolaj and I often have is I say, “Of course I could just kill you now,” and he says, “No, because Jaime is infinitely stronger, even in chains.” Do you see what I mean? The man is delusional.
I do remember watching when they were rehearsing the scene, and he’s tied up to that tree trunk, I said, “I like you like this. This is the best I’ve ever seen you. I’m really pleased to be witnessing this.”Oh man, I cannot wait until these guys get to (hopefully) record an audio commentary together.

Rose is open, honest, heartfelt, to the point of being selfish, wonderfully selfish. Martha is clever, calm, but rarely says what she’s really thinking. Donna is blunt, precise, unfiltered, but with a big heart beneath all the banter. […] If Rose can be selfish, then her finest moments will come when she’s selfless. If Martha keeps quiet, then her moments of revelation — like her goodbye to the Doctor — make her fly. Donna is magnificently self-centred — not selfish, but she pivots everything around herself, as we all do — so when she opens up and hears the Ood song, or begs for Caecilius’ family to be saved, then she’s wonderful.
