Anyone can claim they're a feminist who is working to promote a more equal world for women, but none of those claims hold water if you're a jerk who mistreats women in your personal life.

In a recent Reddit post, user Sunriseglow shared a prime example of this disconnect.

It all started when she was approached by a guy at her school who runs the feminist club (there's a lot to unpack in that sentence alone). The conversation kicked off fairly normal, he saw her art online and wanted to commission a portrait of himself to gift to his sick grandmother.

However, the conversation quickly escalated into a whole mess when he revealed he didn't want to pay for the artwork. He made it very apparent that he felt entitled to a free picture because his grandma was hospitalized.

At first, the artist was gracious with him, and explained that she empathized with his grandma but needs to be paid for her skills and supplies. This is when it somehow got worse.

Rather than owning his misstep like a mature adult, the entitled guy made matters worse by hitting on the artist and saying she could "take him out" in lieu of being paid. He even upped the ante by saying because he's a feminist, he'd allow he to pay for dinner. So essentially, he considers his company worth a free dinner and piece of art.

Understandably, this left the artist at an impasse, and she called him out for his absurd entitlement. At this point he fully flew off the handle and called her names, revealing himself to be a shining example of how to oust yourself from the title of "male feminist."

People on Reddit were quick to roast his hypocrisy and awful personality. There are just so many levels of BS to call out, it's hard to narrow it down.

This should go without saying, but artists deserve to get paid for their work, and asking a woman to take you out on a date in the middle of a business transaction is highly disrespectful, even without all the name calling.

Society loves to tell women what we can and cannot wear: they're constantly like "women over 40 can't wear latex!" and "please stop wearing your pajamas to work, May!"

I'm over it. And so is Katey Johnson, who runs popular blog The Mother Octopus. So during a girls' trip with her BFF, she decided to stick it to convention by rocking a little black dress she claims she has "no business wearing."

"When I tried it on I knew the dress wasn't made for my 5’2″ body, 160 lb. body, but I felt great in it," writes Johnson, 40, in a viral Facebook post. "I’m not known to wear form-fitting clothes. At all. But I wanted it, so I bought it. And I was proud of myself for it."

And now the internet is proud of her, too. Because Johnson shared a photo of her wearing the LBD on Facebook, along with a powerful post about body positivity, and it's racked up over 4,000 shares in three days.

In the post, she explains why it's important to her to let go of self-image and the restrictions we put on ourselves, and "start being kind" to ourselves.

She writes:

This is me in a dress I have no business wearing. It's not the first time I've worn it and it won't be the last time. I know it's not flattering but I don't want you to say, "OMG, YOU LOOK GREAT!" I don't want you to say, "GOOD FOR YOU!" I want you to know why I'm wearing a dress I have no business wearing.

I took this picture two days ago. I was one and a half proseccos deep during a girl's weekend with my best friend and we were on our way to a nice dinner. Someone could say that I look a little pregnant in it, because of, you know, that part sticking out in the front. I do look a little pregnant. That's fine. Once upon a time I grew two babies in that part sticking out in the front, but I assure you, now it's just where I keep my cheeseburgers and sauvignon blanc.

I bought this dress for a trip my husband and I took in July. When I tried it on I knew the dress wasn't made for my 5'2" body, 160 lb. body, but I felt great in it. I don't know why. I just did. I'm not known to wear form-fitting clothes. At all. But I wanted it, so I bought it. And I was proud of myself for it.

The truth is, I'm the heaviest I've ever been, other than when I was pregnant. Another truth is that I've always struggled with my weight and if you've ever struggled with your weight, you know it's not a physical struggle. It's about how you see yourself and how you speak to yourself in your mind. After 40 years of telling myself I have no business wearing things I want to wear, I've decided to change the subject. I've decided to start being kind to myself.

I'm a work from home mom. I make my own schedule. I could spend 2 hours a day at the gym if I wanted to. I could run from here to Manhattan and back if I set my mind to it. The thing is, my mind is elsewhere. Right now I'm in the business of keeping my shit together. I'm in the business of raising loving children. I'm in the business of maintaining healthy friendships. I'm in the business of having a happy marriage.

For 40 years I've stood in the mirror and compared how I look to how I THINK I should look. And it's exhausting. Now, in an ugly world where I have so many other, more important things to worry about, I'm hitting that red decline button when the self-doubt calls start pouring it. I don't want to do it anymore. I want to be in the business of loving myself. It's as simple as that.

I'm not saying I'm giving up. I'll still try to get healthy, here and there. I'm just taking a break from beating myself up. I'm muting the negative things I say to myself, because as it turns out, I care way more about my own comments than anyone else's.

So here's the thing. If I can put on a dress I have no business wearing to go out with my husband or to go to a fancy dinner at a nice restaurant with my best friend because it makes me feel good, you can too. And if I'm putting this picture on my Facebook page for 15,000 people to see, well then you can certainly wear a dress you have no business wearing to a BBQ this weekend. If the hard part is talking yourself into it, tell yourself life's too short to worry about things you have no business wearing.

Commenters are applauding her newfound confidence AND telling her she looks great in the dress:

Wow... judging from everyone's reactions, it's almost as if... it's no one else's "business" what we do, or don't, choose to put on OUR bodies. Which is why I'll never stop wearing pajamas to work.

'Life is like a box of chocolates' according to Forrest Gump - but sometimes it feels more like a clichéd scene from a movie. Yesterday writer @CarolineMoss asked Twitter:

Of the many fascinating responses, I've handpicked sixteen that will make you wonder a) Does God exist? b) If so, is SHE is a deeply unimaginative screenwriter? Don't be close-minded, y'all. Women can write bad films, too, if only given the chance! Enjoy the below selections and cleanse your palette afterwards with something good, so...probably not 'Forrest Gump.'

Nurses are some of the most underappreciated members of society. Senator Maureen Walsh of Washington recently claimed they 'probably play cards for a considerable amount of the day' while denouncing a bill that would mandate uninterrupted rest and meal breaks for nurses on shift. Their line of work is misunderstood, as people instinctively defer to doctors - while nurses are underestimated as mere 'assistants,' which I'm sure has nothing to do with the fact that the vast majority are women. They perform essential medical- and care-related tasks while undertaking the bulk of emotional labor that patients, particularly the geriatric and neurologically impaired, require. Nurses: we simply don't deserve you.

With that in mind, I've compiled a roundup of tweets that nail the reality of nursing. It's not all recapping 'Grey's' and gossiping over coffee...though I'm sure there's plenty of that, too. Enjoy!

Unless you've been living under a large, moss-laden rock since the 80s, you're familiar with Keanu Reeves.

The actor, whose starring role in the 'John Wick' franchise has cemented his movie star status, is beloved offscreen for his congenial nature and Bill Murray-like presence. A cursory Google search provides dozens of anecdotes proving Keanu's an unassuming guy despite his fame and professional success. In March his commercial flight (!) was diverted to Bakersfield, so he entertained fellow passengers with a van tour.

Yesterday, writer James Dator shared a touching story about encountering 'Neo' as a teenaged movie theater employee. Its contents will only make you fall further in love with the living legend. Keanu: call me!

Arnold Schwarzenegger was attacked on Saturday during his visit to South Africa for the Arnold Classic Africa. The sporting event is described as a "multi-sport festival on six-continents each year. All events feature professional bodybuilding and related contests, amateur bodybuilding, strength and combat sports."

The 71-year-old said he only realized he was kicked when he saw the video. He was in the country for the Arnold Classic Africa, a sporting event held in Johannesburg each May.

We're glad he's OK, and inspired by the "come and try" aspect of the event, which is described as a " programme for differently abled, children, parents, and pensioners who would like to partake in a specific sport or event they might be interested in."

You go Arnold.

Grey Worm doesn't really have a Valyrian accent? We enjoyed this. Hope you do too.

The cold open also features music, but Alec Baldwin doesn't quite have the lyrical chops that Davidson does.

And if you've made it this far, why not watch Weekend Update?

Tonight we close a chapter in our lives and say good bye to a show we have loved, obsessed, and lost sleep over. After a decade, Game of Thrones will come to an end, and those of us who dedicate approximately 87% of our emotional energy to this fantasy show will have to find something else to live for. The end of an era!

But we aren't the only ones who are feeling emotional about tonight's bittersweet finale. A number of the cast members of Game of Thrones have paid tribute to the show, their characters, and the people behind it all via their social media posts. Here are some of our favorites, and if you don't at least tear up please call 9-1-1 immediately, because there is something medically wrong with you.

1. Sophie Turner AKA Sansa Stark

Sansa, Thank you for teaching me resilience, bravery and what true strength really is. Thank you teaching me to be kind and patient and to lead with love. I grew up with you. I fell in love with you at 13 and now 10 years on.. at 23 I leave you behind, but I will never leave behind what you’ve taught me. To the show and the incredible people who make it, thank you for giving me the best life and drama lessons I could have ever asked for. Without you I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Thank you for giving me this chance all those years ago. And finally to the fans. Thank you for falling in love with these characters and supporting this show right through till the end. I’ll miss this more than anything.

2. Gwendoline Christie AKA Brienne of Tarth

BEING TOLD THE ENDING TO @gameofthrones

3. Emilia Clarke AKA Daenerys Targaryon

Finding the words to write this post has left me overwhelmed with how much I want to say but how small words feel in comparison to what this show and Dany have meant to me.
The mother of dragons chapter has taken up the whole of my adult life. This woman has taken up the whole of my heart. I’ve sweated in the blaze of dragon fire, shed many tears at those who left our family early, and wrung my brain dry trying to do Khaleesi and the masterful words, actions (and names) I was given, justice.
Game of Thrones has shaped me as a woman, as an actor and as a human being. I just wish my darling dad was here now to see how far we’ve flown.
But to you, dear kind magical fans, I owe you so much thanks, for your steady gaze at what we’ve made and what I’ve done with a character that was already in the hearts of many before I slipped on the platinum wig of dreams. Without you there is no us.
And now our watch has ended.
@gameofthrones@hbo#love#motherofdragonsoverandout

4. John Bradley AKA Samwell Tarley

So tonight we have our very last episode. It’s the final step of a long and wonderful journey. A journey that, for me, started at 10am on Monday 19th of July 2010. I know this because recently I found my rehearsal and prep schedule for season 1, week 1. This was given to me when I landed in Belfast for the first time, weeks before we even started shooting. Listed here is the rehearsal where I first met Kit, and the first time I wore the costume that’s seen me through 8 seasons. I’m glad I kept this. I met so many people that week who have come to mean so much to me. Back then we couldn’t have known the journey we’d go on together. I wouldn’t swap that experience, or those people, for the world. Enjoy the episode and thanks for everything. ❤️❤️❤️ @gameofthrones@hbo#GOT👋

5. Nathalie Emmanuel AKA Missandei of Narth

It’s been one of my greatest joys playing Missandei of Naath... The quiet and kind translator. A brilliant woman who overcame so much suffering and found herself, her voice... and her one and only love. She represented so much for me, personally, that I have no choice but to carry the things she has taught me into my life going forward. Thank you to everyone who made it possible for me to play this part... this life changing part... there are too many to list... @emilia_clarke GIRL! I love you... SO much. I’ve loved playing your BFF for the past 7 years. Thank you for being such a wonderful person in my life and a source of light and laughter. The Bad Ass Boss Lady Warrior Goddess club will live on forever 😂🙌🏽@raleighritchie.... Jacoooob! I literally cannot tell you what sharing the screen with you has meant to me. I found performances I didn’t know I had inside me, simply because you gave me so much to work against. Playing Missandei and Grey Worm’s journey has been so special. I couldn’t have asked for a more generous and supportive co-star... Also... We’ve been out in these streets together boiiii🤣😂 negotiating so much but always having each other’s back. Thank you for all of it... you have been a dear friend at every point.
To the entire cast and crew... You will always hold a special place in my heart. The love and energy we shared will be hard to match. I feel like I hit the jackpot meeting and working with you all. I love you.
To the fans of the show, and of Missandei... Thank you for all the love and support... It’s been a pleasure playing her for you.
I know last night was pretty intense for some of you so I invite you to participate in my fantasy where I like to think that, right now.... Missandei is sipping a rum on a beach somwhere in sky 😂... 🍹🌴#andnowmywatchhasended#MissandeiofNaath#Dracarys#thankyouforsupportingme#RIPMissandei#isleofbutterflies #🦋#illbeseeingyou

6. Kristofer Hivju AKA Tormund

Onscreen and offscreen love! Definitely a win win situation:-) Homage to Gwendoline Christie @gwendolineuniverse for her brilliant preformance as the warrior, the knight and the beautiful human being Brienne Of Tarth #GOTafterparty With my wife @grymolvaerhivju#gameofthrones#brienneoftarth#tormund#brimund#tormundgiantsbane

7. Raleigh Ritchie AKA Grey Worm

1. First Day. 2. Last Day.

GoT was like the craziest school trip ever. A 6 year Adventure Weekend.

Grey Worm. You went from a robot to a real boy. I’m proud of you. I’ll miss you bud.

Thank you to everybody that cared about him and rooted for him. He was really scared at first, but you made him feel loved. He appreciates it. I asked him.

Huge shout out to the Targs team: Nats, Emilia, Conleth, Peter, Iain, Ian, Michiel, Reece, Ed, Kit, Liam. Thank you for making the days so fun.

Here’s to every single department behind the scenes that worked to the bone to make this show. They worked tirelessly everyday to make this thing, and they never get shout outs and they know that but they do it anyway. Here’s to you, you ragtag bunch of talented clever rascals. I love ya’ll. Thank you.

Game of Thrones ENDS tonight on @hbo AT 9pm and @skyatlanticuk at 2am. I hope you enjoy it.

And tonight at around 10:30pm, our watch with have ended.

If you clicked on and opened this article, 1) happy Game of Thrones finale night, and 2) I'm going to assume you are caught up on this season. If not, stop reading; they're are spoilers abound.

As we all know, last week's episode lit both King's Landing and Game of Thrones online fandom on fire. Whether you feel it was earned or not, Daenerys Targaryen officially went full Mad Queen and burned some shit to the ground. Some felt her mercilessness was completely out of character, and others felt it was an inevitable outcome that has been hinted at all along. No matter how you felt, the internet was shook.

But perhaps there is something people on both sides of the "Daenerys going mad makes sense" argument missed...

In a Game of Thrones theories subreddit, user J_Mrad hypothesized that Daenerys going mad may have seemed unearned because it wasn't her own doing.

He explained:

From the beginning of the episode we know that Varys has a spy in he kitchen. He was writing letters about Jon's true identity when she arrived and their conversation goes as follows:

-: She won't eat.

-: We'll try again at supper.

-: I think they're watching me.

-: Who?

-: Her soldiers.

-: Of course they are, that's their job. What have I told you, Martha?

-: The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward.

This conversation happened before he met Jon on the beach so he had the time to send those letters out. On the beach before trying to convince Jon to take the throne he told him "she won't accept any food" when asked about her which means up until then she hadn't been poisoned. That same day he was sentenced to death at night and executed but we know nothing about the fate of his spy, Martha. I believe she did carry out what he instructed her to do even after his death.

So now we know two things:

- Part of his plan was informing people that Jon was the true heir to the throne

- He plans on adding something to the queen's food

Straight up poisoning the queen would be a terrible idea. He knows how much Jon loves her and, though it would mean he will have to take the throne, it wouldn't end nicely for him after Jon figures out what he did. A better plan would be to push Dany into madness early, letting it loose on King's Landing and showing everyone a Mad Queen, which is exactly what happened. How? Basilisk's blood.

"It will give cooked meat a savory smell, but if eaten it produces violent madness, in beasts as well as men. A mouse will attack a lion after a taste of basilisk's blood. But to a man who loves his art, is not passion a form of madness?" ~ Oberyn Martell

This would justify the sudden descent into madness she took in such a short time. It would also give Varys a more meaningful arc.

It's an interesting theory, and it adds up in a lot of ways. But would Lord Varys really go that far -- allowing innocent lives to be lost -- to get the outcome he saw fit? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Tonight is the night. The show that has found its way into our hearts and been the source of heated arguments at work will finally come to an end. For the past decade, we have watched and waited to see who will sit on the iron throne, and tonight, Game of Thrones will (hopefully) finally give us an answer. Will we have anything else to talk about with our friends and loved ones after this all dies down? Questionable. But will we be spending all of our time online sharing, reading, and arguing our opinions regarding the finale for at least the entirety of next week? Absolutely.

Before the battle of Game of Thrones online debates begin, let's enjoy the calm before the storm. People are already posting on Twitter, commemorating tonights episode, and we'd like to take a moment to soak it up. Here, here.

*** Game of Thrones spoilers ahead, obviously. ***

Our watch has ended. The iron throne -- albeit burned into a puddle of firey goop -- has been claimed. And the official winner of the titular game of thrones is *checks notes* Bran the Broken?

The finale episode of Game of Thrones was a lot of things. It was long, it was unpredictable, and it was...disappointing. The eighty minute episode may have finally given us our King, but it didn't deliver the satisfying ending so many of us were craving. Bran was named King of Westeros by Tyrion, who was literally a prisoner in shackles. And everyone just...went along with it... and that was that. After everything we've been through with this show, it felt rather anti-climactic to have the King be chosen during an awkward pow-wow between Lords, Ladies, and a prisoner. Call me old fashioned, but I was looking for drama, blood, and tears.

But enough of my complaining. Let's focus on what really matters: the tweets.

The bill would fine a man $100 each time he masturbates. It imposes a 24-hour waiting period for a colonoscopy or a vasectomy, and for purchasing Viagra. ​​​​

"What if men had to undergo the same intrusive procedures?" Farrar asked.

Farrar points out that Texas has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world.

The bill was obviously introduced to make a point, and not actually pass, but some people were triggered.

In response Rep. Tony Tinderholt issued a statement saying, "I'm embarrassed for Representative Farrar. Her attempt to compare to the abortion issue shows a lack of a basic understanding of human biology. I would recommend that she consider taking a high school biology class from a local public or charter school before filing another bill on the matter."

Tinderholt introduced a bill that would charge abortion providers with murder.

Now that the world has gone full Monty Python, you might as well watch this. It would be funny if things weren't so crazy right now.

With Game of Thrones over, having let us down in every way, what do we have to look forward to now? Westworld, that's what. It won't air until 2020, so we've got some time to kill (Killing Eve, Fleabag, what else?!?!).

The video features a Pink Floyd’s “Brain Damage." Aaron Paul is now one of the leads. We hope this gets you excited enough to forget that Bran is now the ruler of the 6 kingdoms.

Love it or hate it, last night the much awaited Game of Thrones finale aired, and with it came a flurry of strong emotions from viewers across the world. For many, the finale brought a answer to the many Game of Thrones predictions being batted around on the internet.

Still, many fans felt disappointed at the way it all ended, particularly after years of build up to this moment. Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum of Game of Thrones emotion, there is one unifying factor that resounds: the finale inspired a lot of Gendry memes.

You don't even have to take my word for it, because I've dutifully gathered 21 of them for you to peruse for yourself. While these all express slightly different angles, the overwhelming consensus seems to be that Gendry looked hot in the finale, he should have been on the ship, and there wasn't nearly enough of him.

Yes, you read that correctly. Tonight was my VERY FIRST TIME watching "Game of Thrones." And boy, do I have a super recap for you! Read on*.

*TW: If you're the kind of person who loves "Game of Thrones" more than your own mother (I SEE YOU), you might not want to read on.

My first question to my fanatical watching companions was, "By the way, is this about an actual game?" to which they kindly responded, "No no no." The kindness subsided after the umpteenth time I asked, "Why is that person dead/going to die/killing someone else/referencing killing someone?"

Reading the mood of the watch party during the first few minutes of the episode, I deftly gathered something about this bleak scene of destruction was why the entire internet has been more pissed off about a TV show than about abortion rights this past week week. What can I say? I have high EQ.

Then this a-hole with mega side-eye was about to kill these perfectly nice looking alive men and this other guy came over and boy did they have words over killing those guys.

Cue the short, bearded man who walked over a lot of rocks and rubble, found a green hand, and started sobbing. There was a couple under those rocks. I felt rather bad. They looked like they were very much in love and peaceful and quite innocent. I learned from my watching companions that they were very much in love. And they were brother and sister. How charming.

Back where the two guys were having lots of tension and side eye, a DRAGON flew over them! I was like, "Wow, cool! A dragon!" Enter this platinum blonde chick who did not look like she could have caused all that rubble with her perfect makeup and flawless hair. But apparently, she did, because a lot of scary, cheering lunatics were obviously pumped that she did it. She gave a rousing speech about liberating the people from "the wheel," which frankly, seemed like a pretty good idea to me and I was fairly into it. Until the short guy gave her some wicked side eye. He threw down his little medallion and boy, did that piss off platinum blonde lady with the pet dragon.

It was about then that I realized the hot guy had a "thing" going with the blonde scary queen lady. Like I said - high EQ over here.

When the hot guy and the short guy had a heated exchange, the hot guy realized - as far as I can tell - that basically, the blonde chick is actually an evil snow bitch with pretty hair. The hot guy seemed rather stressed about this realization and all I could think of is how lucky they are that bugging technology hadn't been invented yet because they were hatching some sneaky shit.

"Love is more powerful than reason," said the short guy. What a line! Followed by a reference to the incestuous couple. #truedat

Then the dragon awakes from under the snow where he was taking a quick nap, like ya do. Oh man, I dig this dragon.

The next scene with the big throne was important because it's the one where I started seriously asking myself, where did these people get all this fabulously crafted leather wear? Honestly, it's like top-of-the-line made-in-Italy kind of stuff.

And just when I found myself dreaming about gelato and pasta, these two start kissing and then the hot guy is stabbing her in the chest! To which, the entire room I was in erupted in gasps and screaming! OMG!

That cute cuddly little dragon was very sad..and then whoa. He got pretty angry and things didn't look so good for hot guy. But he ended up just torching the big iron throne thingy, which melted like lava.

When I asked my watching companions about why the dragon didn't kill the hot guy, I learned that the hot guy was also part of the family. Wait, what? The hot guy and Danywere related too?!? Yes, SHE'S HIS AUNT. Ew. Gross. But I was quickly told that's just how some houses rolled back then.

Well then. Who am I to judge?

Then there was this council of important looking people. They all seemed to hate each other. But the short guy urged them to pick a queen and king. I think he was trying to save the hot guy. (I wasn't opposed to saving him either.) They decided that a man in an absolutely fabulous fur coat would be the king even though he didn't want to and everyone just seemed totally cool with it. Uhhhh...but wasn't the whole premise of this show that people were killing each other for eight freaking seasons so that someone could be king and now this guy gets the throne but doesn't even want it? Cue AlanisMorisettebecause that's #ironic.

Then my girl Sansawas all like, "You're pretty great, fur coat guy, but I'm out. I'm gonna rule the North on my own." And no one seemed to care much about that one either but something in me felt a little proud of her. And just like that, Bran the Broken (who comes up with this?) became the king of six kingdoms.

So the hot guy got sent to the Night's Watch, where apparently, he could father no children. Geez, with those genes, that seems like a shame. But hot guy wasn't worried about that; he was too riddled with guilt for killing his aunt-lover in cold blood in front of her child, the badass dragon.

I had to ask: "What's a Night Watch?" I learned it's the only thing criminals can do - man the wall and protect the realm. You know, so the army of the dead couldn't get in. But they're gone now. No, scratch that. They're vanquished now.

Hot guy says a tearful good bye to his siblings (most of which I'm assuming he's slept with at some point, eh?) and climbs on the boat with the now-dead-aunt-lover-queen-devotee-war-guy who has the side-eye look of of the century — and I'm starting to feel nervous for him. That's looking to be a long boat ride.

Then a woman wrote some words in a big, gold book. The short guy and some more guys with like, nine names each, sat around discussing rebuilding brothels.

Finally, the hot guy, with a heavy heart and a sizzling hot outfit, arrives at this creepy night watch place. But there were some nice looking chaps there. And a red-eyed, one-eared wolf who was rather cute. So there's that.

And then...it just kind of ended.

For eight long years, I've been watching you freaks lose your minds over this show, and tonight, I finally I came to understand why. This show was too big to fail.

In case you're currently living off the grid, you lucky bastard, the series finale of "Game of Thrones" aired last night, and fans are fiercely divided: between those who are disappointed, and those who are extremely disappointed with a side of blind rage.

One of the more divisive moments in that 127-hour-long finale involved Ser Brienne of Tarth paying tribute to Jaime Lannister, one of the show's most lovable-and-hateable characters. The two share a particularly long and complicated history that culminated in Lannister making Brienne a knight, then took her virginity, breaking her heart and then abandoning her to go bang his sister. Typical!

But Brienne takes the high-ground in the finale, because someone had to, by recording Lannister's deeds in the Book of Brothers, which pays tribute to all the knights who served in the Kingsguard. With a feather quill in hand, Brienne honors Jaime by writing that he "died protecting his queen." This was generous of her, given their history and his incestuous love affair with blood-thirsty Cersei.

But the internet is not quite so generous. Given the harsh way Lannister left Brienne, and their emotional last goodbye, people imagined what Brienne could (and should!) have written in that book. And ooh-ah la, a new meme was born! Here are some of the best responses:

And my personal fave:

*quill drop*

In most cases, new characters aren't introduced in the finale episode of a long-running show. There's really no time to give the proper exposition for a new character to make sense, and there's usually an array of other plot lines and relationships to tie up. However, the show runners for Game of Thrones went off-book with their finale episode by introducing a new character that functioned both autonomously and as a call-back to a recent episode: a plastic water bottle.

In case you missed it, a few weeks back a Starbucks cup made an appearance in Game of Thrones episode, providing the fodder for countless memes and roast jokes about the show runners. And now, in the final episode, eagle-eyed viewers spotted a plastic water bottle in King's Landing.

Could this, perhaps, be some sort of meta statement on consumerism?! Are these easter eggs meant as peek behind-the-curtain of producing an ensemble series?! Better yet, is there some sort of time-traveling element we've all been missing for the duration of the show? As these questions percolate the minds of fans now mourning the loss of their favorite show, the water bottle memes are flowing with more force than water itself.
