SZA, Megan Thee Stallion, and more tell us their favorite Game Of Thrones characters

Winter is here, bitches. The final season of Game of Thrones is underway, and what we know for sure is: characters are going to die! Probably a lot of them! The army of the dead is on their way to slaughter every living thing in Westeros, with much “fuck them kids” energy. Over the years, we've all developed close emotional ties to our favorites on the show, so we asked 10 artists via Instagram DM who they're riding for this season. Peep all of their answers below.

“Daenerys muthafuckin Targaryen. She just don’t fuck around. We love a motivated queen.”

“Daenerys Targaryen because if a nigga from Compton had a dragon the LAPD couldn’t touch me.”

“I’m actually extremely late to the party and I just started Game of Thrones season one this week. I’ve seen how excited people are, so me and my friends who are late started [watching] it! So far I’m obsessed with Khaleesi! She seems like she has really great intentions on a soul level. Trustworthy, loyal and willing to suffer for the greater good. She’s a bad ethereal bitch but still unlike anyone else who surrounds her. She seems to be approaching a shift in energy and will soon be more aware of her powerful [aura].”

“To be honest I don’t keep up with the show because I’m a true music nerd and really only listen to music, but from my peripheral absorption of GoT culture and millennial lore, I would [definitely] say my [favorite] character is Arya. I am scared of swords and war and shit but I think it’s badass that she doesn’t want to be a house-lady that breeds lords and kings and would rather learn the art of fighting. I don’t think strong female characters always need to be a symbol of righteousness; sometimes it’s just important to see a powerful ass woman.”

“Jon Snow. Killer instinct, and he gets the girl.”

“Arya Stark is my favorite because she's a bad ass! She’s been through so much but in every situation it seemed like she learned a new way to kick your ass and get stronger!”

“Arya Stark is my favorite character on the show because she don’t play! She takes what’s hers.”

“Theon Greyjoy. Great character. Love how he continuously changes so drastically over the storyline.”

“I barely watch, but I love Daenerys because her platinum blonde is impeccable.”
