I know everyone hates Ser Criston but can we respect Fabien please? The guy is smashing it. Give him love for playing such a prick. ❤

Fabien in other interview: Targaryen’s motto “keep it in the family” Fabien this interview: peak Targaryen energy = having a thing for your sister/family member 😭🤣

You know the Targaryens have a thing for the Dornish, dating all the way back to Aegon the Conqueror. Probably the Dornish penchant for refusing to take shit from the incestuous dragonlords have the Targs feeling some kinda way for 'em lol
