I did this on my tumblr blog a few months ago so I decided I would do it here too. Who knows what has changed since then 🙂

Day 1: Favorite character from book/show

Well, I already made another post that expressed who my favorite characters were. Sansa Stark/Tyrion Lannister/Joffrey Baratheon (it really is kind of sad that there are so many characters on this show but I only really care about three…ah well)

I would say that Joffrey Baratheon is my ultimate favorite character. Don’t judge me quite yet. Let me explain:

I’ve always enjoyed the villain of almost every show or film that I’ve watched. I find them to be the most interesting and intriguing and their story lines are typically awesome! When I started watching the show, I saw how most people in the fandom hated Joffrey and I wanted to know why so I gave the show a try and I honestly didn’t see what everyone else saw. Sure, he is sadistic and sometimes goes a bit too far but I think that is what makes him more interesting. He is not a black and white two dimensional character. As viewers of the show and readers of the books, we really do not receive an insight into Joffrey’s childhood. Sure we know some things about him (*cough cough* his parents *cough cough*) but we don’t really know why he turned out the way he did. Maybe his mother sheltered him too much. Maybe his “father” didn’t love him enough. We don’t really know, we can only wonder.

Whatever the case, though, Joffrey Baratheon is my all time favorite character on the show and if you haven’t watched the past season (S4) then SPOILER ALERT, I am really really really going to miss him in S5. Maybe that wasn’t so much of a spoiler but if you haven’t seen the show, it will make you wonder what I mean.

Also, if anyone is curious, I found the 30 day challenge at: 7kingdoms.tumblr.com/post/5015812291/30-day-game-of-thrones-challenge
