On her journal title. Modern AU!Game of Thrones Cersei

[firstladylion]

...Do you really think that a Simpson's quote is integrating with anybody? There's quite a bit they do teach you at Harvard Law School. One of which is how to deal with idiots like you who think that simpsons quotes in high places are funny when you're trying to make an important impression.

...Well? I'm here. And Despite the "She's basically Sarah Palin" comments I'm not going to call anybody and hit you. Bring me my children. And my brother. I'm nothing like Sarah Palin.

...I'd be much more effective.

Comments

[princetonprince]

I'm a little offended at the implication that you're anything like that idiot.

[fullofsongs]

I want to be you when I grow up
You're nothing like Sarah Palin. She isn't even that pretty.

[firstladylion]

[She looks gratified for a moment, trying to throw it off.]You can thank the writer. She thinks it's a funny comparison and neglects all of my more engaging qualities.

For the moment.

[Embittered wildfire female who wants power and has no idea what to do with it when she gets it. Cersei smiles boldly at him.]

Jamie.

[firstladylion]

You are a very smart girl

She's very pretty in her own way. It's important to never actually decry somebody's physical flaws. [Openly. But Cersei's smiling at that all the same.]

[princetonprince]

I'm sure she'll wise up. How can anyone mistake you for that? Especially with Ned Stark being from Alaska, they like to call him "Sarah Palin only competent." They'll get bored of it eventually.

[Damn. She knows she really shouldn't smile at him like that in public, but he manages to cover up his real thoughts with a smirk.] Cersei?

[fullofsongs]

Teach me your wonderful first-lady ways. I'll need them when I'm Joffrey's first lady.

Oh. I see. [Forgive her, she's an eighth grader.] I won't do it again. You're smarter than she is, too.

[firstladylion]

See? At least I know dinosaurs weren't here four thousand years ago. And if that's the Alaskan educational system. [The smallest of small shrugs. And then because she's toying with him she points at his lapel]

You have a really big piece of lint on your collar.

[firstladylion]

Lesson one. Dinosaurs were not here four-thousand years ago. Lesson two. Call someone not-so-pretty in front of a reporter you can trust. Like Ten. Bring down regimes in five little words.

Well, Harvard Business school will do that. Have you thought about what you want to do when you get older little dove?

[She has her, you know, thoughts about kids colleges and things like that. Private thoughts.]

[fullofsongs]

Why would I call someone not-so-pretty in front of a reporter? And how do you bring down regimes in five words?

Harvard Business? Wow. [She smiles. She gets star-struck easily.] Oh, yes. I'd like to go to Yale for college, they have an amazing conservatory-- then maybe Harvard Law to really round myself out. I'd like to be First Lady myself, some day.

[princetonprince]

[snort.] Right? I wonder if they're even allowed to say the word "evolution."

[She is toying with him and it's not even fair. He reaches up to pluck at a random spot.] Did I get it?

[firstladylion]

Oh Sansa. Come. Let Cersei teach you all the things.

[To her credit she doesn't flinch. No one remembers her contributions except for Jamie. She's just there for parties and to set a fashion standard when she could be as good-if not better-then Eleanor Roosevelt. :|] ...Never let anybody stand in the way of that dream Sansa. It's a good one, and you should have a skill to offer someone.

A certain someone shall we say?

[eyebrow raise, friendly waggle]

what journal fail

[aroyaldouche]

Ned Stark's Sarah Palim, Mother. He lives in Alaska and can see The Wall Russia from his observation deck.

[/sees nothing like a good Lannister]

[firstladylion]

You are never going to Alaska. Ever. [The education might infect your mind.]

[firstladylion]

At least their children are down in-what do they call it-lower forty eight states and they can have a decent education. It could be worse however. It could be California.

[With a smart smirk she picks it off the other lapel and shows it to him.] Notable impression for a CFO.

[princetonprince]

What's wrong with California?

You're my favorite twin so I'm going to tell you a secret: CFOs are supposed to be the crazy ones.

yes. good.

[aroyaldouche]

I never want to go to Alaska. Ever.

[fullofsongs]

Please and thank you!

[Cersei apparently knows what she's talking about and she blushes and giggles like the fourteen-year-old she is.] Well... I shouldn't get my hopes up. Joffrey probably only likes older, prettier girls.

[firstladylion]

A woman should be intelligent and beautiful. Not just beautiful. California is full of psychotic drug dealers and half-

[eyebrow raise] Wandering around with lint all over you. Such a standard for Lannister. [Ernest] You're not the crazy one.

[firstladylion]

Good.

You can find oil just as often in the ocean as you can there.

[princetonprince]

Half-what?

No? Who is, then? Aunt Genna?

[firstladylion]

Yes good

[At that, Cersei motions for her to sit.] He's an intelligent, bright boy my dear. Of course he has eyes for intelligent pretty girls. And you are pretty my dear. Very.

[Well maybe. Why Alaska kid. and Yale. D: We'll work on that.]

[firstladylion]

-I was going to say Lannisters aren't crazy but that really kind of disproves my theory doesn't it. She sent me a dream catcher that she knitted Jamie.

A. knitted. dreamcatcher. what do I do with it.

[princetonprince]

[CRACKING THE FUCK UP.]

Hang it over Myrcella's bed. She likes that stuff.

[fullofsongs]

[She sits next to her, trying not to appear too excited. That's not cool. And Cersei called her pretty! Best. Day. Ever. She smiles brightly.] Thank you so much, Ms. Lannister. [She prefers that, right? Not Mrs. Baratheon? Momentary panic.] I hope he likes me. What can I do to get him to like me? [Oh, Sansa, honey.]

[Going to Harvard for four years would be boring, and conservatory programs are awesome because acting, singing and dancing? her favorites. Alaska was so not her fault and she's never going back.]

[firstladylion]

It's so...so..tacky. She sends me knitted everything. She sent me a knitted computer cover. Red and gold with a lion on it. I felt like one of those Harry Potter fans.

Why do women take up useless hobbies? Promise me you'll stop me if I ever think about taking up knitting.
