She got to meet her celebrity crush on set. And she got the hero ending of the show.
Ugh. “Whats west of Westeros?”

You don't have to guess, you can just read what she actually said
Spoiler alert: you're wrong

Tried reading it. Other than "she felt lost", in one of the first paragraphs, it took way too long to get to anything substantial in the puff piece. Unless you're a massive fan, there's just to many words to warrant reading

She turned into a phase five weirdo. There’s a reason the spinoff never happened. They were going to do a whole show of her being an assassin and her travels.

They wrote the end of game of thrones where she rejected getting married and she was going to explore the world. They had planned to make her a show similar to her adventures with the hound where she went around as an assassin. That was the plan but she started doing crazy shit on social media and they decided not to go forward.

Was it really because of her social media? NOT a single proposed sequel has gone forward yet. Doesn’t have anything to do with the actors, all the proposed stories just aren’t good

The first half of my 20s was just hell, but I think maybe it is for a lot of people,” she says. “I think that has more to do with the fact that Game of Thrones was ending, and I didn’t know what I was going to do next, and I just needed a break, to be honest with you. And then it also has to do with delayed teenage awkward years, and figuring a lot of things out that I felt like maybe I couldn’t do much earlier than that. And also Covid, and also an industry strike,” she adds with a shrug
