Take it from one who knows how, the stab wound is fine. Upward angle, through the ribs into the cardiac tissue.

not sure if this is a joke but pretty much yeah. Upward strike through the lower ribcage will cut into the right ventricle from that angle. Going through the armpit would be easier but is less dramatic

Okay, snow-covered Drogon was a good shot. Snowgon.

Drogon has been having a great episode. Mad props to the scaly boi.

I meant to respond to the image but thought it'd be faster to not quote it. I was entirely serious in saying that that is how to stab someone in the heart. Especially in that situation, where Jon was drawing a dagger from his hip while making out with his aunt for the last time. Turns out the ribcage is all bone and cartilage and not very easy to stab through.

Oi guys.

I know some of you might be upset, but I have a question.

Where do you think Drogon went with Daenarys' body after melting down the throne, and what do you think he did?

Technically he's the true heir to the throne given he's born of Daenarys, so I guess he might come back and reclaim. Although, additionally, seems he's basically the only character to realise the real problem is constitutional monarchy so maybe he'll just retire peacefully somewhere thinking that in destroying the iron throne that problem is sorted..

..then he finds out and returns in the next edition.

I haven’t seen any plot details for the other spinoffs but the only confirmed one was set 5000 years in the past I honestly don’t think we’re gonna get sequel with any of these characters. The final scenes was more showing what they’re doing with their lives. John returns to where he belongs as Lord Commander of the Nights Watch, Sansa is Queen of the North, and Arya is a bit of an homage to the Blues from Tolkien’s Silmarillion where they travel east from middle earth and are never heard from again. I’m pretty sure it’s done fam.
