Jon Snow giving up the throne without talking to his siblings or the Northern lords even though Dany promised to help even if he didn’t was the moment I was 100% done with him. He’s not even worth talking about anymore.

“Never again!” We yelled for years, without actually fucking meaning it, apparently.
