What if Joffrey SURVIVED the Purple Wedding

What if Joffrey SURVIVED the Purple Wedding? Let’s explore the depths of it in the video.

As usual, give the video a like for a quicker upcoming part 2. You won’t regret it.

The royal feast is in full swing, and laughter echoes through the Great Hall of King’s Landing. Olenna Tyrell, moving through the crowd with practiced grace, brushes past Sansa Stark, whose hands tremble as she adjusts her delicate hairnet. Olenna’s fingers move deftly, plucking the seed hidden among the crystals, saying that she wishes to simply adjust a few stray strands.

But as the feast grows rowdier, with drunken nobles, performers, and loud, raucous jests filling the air, movement becomes difficult, especially for one such as Olenna due to her advanced years.

As she approaches the king’s table, her oafish son, Mace brushes into her, causing her grip to clench up, crushing the seed in her hands. Most of the poison disappears on the floor. Her mouth tightens in frustration, but the moment passes too quickly for anyone to notice, she manages to slip what little remains into Joffrey’s cup. She lingers long enough to see it disappear and mix with the wine.

Joffrey’s voice rings out above the din, mocking his uncle with cruel japes as the massive pie is presented. He summons Tyrion to serve him. The dwarf obeys, his face a mask of restraint, pouring the king’s wine. Olenna watches from her seat, her chest tightening as Joffrey drinks deeply from the goblet. The poison takes longer than expected, and for a moment, she wonders if her plan has failed. But then Joffrey begins to cough, his laughter breaking into a hoarse, hacking gasp.

The hall falls silent as Joffrey rises, clutching his throat. His face turns red, then purple, and the queen screams his name. Olenna shouts for someone to help him and Kingsguard rushes forward while Margery screams at his side.

He collapses onto the floor, convulsing, his hands clawing at his throat. The crowd surges forward, but Margery rushes to his side first, cradling his head in her lap as tears streak her face. Joffrey’s eyes roll back, and he gurgles incoherently, pointing a trembling finger at Tyrion before his body goes limp. Gasps ripple through the hall, and the Kingsguard form a protective circle around their fallen king.

Cersei: Tyrion, it was him. Arrest him!

The accusation spreads like wildfire and Lannisters’ guards seize Tyrion. Olenna remains seated, her face impassive as Pycelle hurries to check on the king. To his surprise, he finds a pulse, one weak and unsteady, but present.

Olenna grips the tablecloth in front of her. This was not the clean execution she had planned; the king still breathes, but she forces herself to remain calm. In the days that follow, the capital buzzes with speculation. Joffrey, though alive, remains bedridden, his breathing shallow and labored.

It takes slow a process, but Pycelle and the other maesters heal the king. To dissuade any suspicion, the Tyrells send their maester to care for him. This was a huge hole in their plan and they must tread carefully. Meanwhile, their investigations lead them to suspect that poison was used, leading them to believe Tyrion poisoned the cup while serving as Joffrey’s cupbearer and is imprisoned.

Unfortunately, this also means that trying to strike at him again is risky. With many believing the assassin is already in custody, trying to poison him again will only raise suspicion, and he is watched at all times by his mother or the Kingsguard. Instead, Olenna switches tactics and decides to make the most of this opportunity by making Margery invaluable.

Margery scarcely leaves his side, her delicate hands tending to him with apparent devotion. She dabs his brow with a damp cloth, feeds him sips of broth, and whispers words of comfort that make even the hardened maids weep.

Joffrey, weakened and vulnerable, clings to her presence. Each time she smiles at him, her eyes shimmering with feigned tenderness, he seems to soften, his cruel edges dulled by her unwavering care.

But few pay attention to this as all eyes turn to the Lannisters. With Tyrion awaiting trial, Tywin tries to maintain his control over the capital. He issues edicts preventing any of the smallfolk from mentioning this effect, ensures that food flows into the city, and meets with his bannermen who help maintain security.

Among the groups they pay close attention to are the Sparrows, victims of the War of the Five Kings who are flocking to King’s Landing to demand justice for the terror inflicted upon them and the smallfolk. Soon, a leader forms in this group by the name of the High Sparrow.

Though he has no armies or wealth, his speeches within the city move people. His sermons draw crowds that spill into the alleys.

Tywin tries to buy them time, reminding them that the king is indisposed and unable to rule properly. While some are sympathetic, the High Sparrow keeps a close eye on them.

Joffrey's Reign 👀 Can we hit 2, 000 likes for part 2?

Finally a video praising King Joffrey the Gentle! I have a suggestion:What if everyone escaped from the Great Sept?

[midnightotaku]

I think the only problem with the Tyrells poisoning Tyrion is that Tywin knew Tyrion didn't do it. He was doing the trial as a distraction method. With Tyrion dying in his cell, that would make Tywin even more suspicious and eventually he would piece together that the Tyrells are responsible.

And our favorite Tyrell would know that and wouldn't let Margery make the attempt.

Not to mention, Jaime would 100% still try to get Tyrion mercy (or help him escape the second Joffery tried to order his execution), so best case scenario, Tyrion would die outside his cell. Which would be even more suspicious, and Jaime in this timeline would be on the fucking WARPATH. he'd want to know who poisoned his brother, and he'd immediately suspect Circe, then from there maybe Tywin (but would likely brush that aside cuz why would Tywin do that when he was going to be executed anyway), and this would lead him to conclude it was the Tyrells since he would 100% notice Margery digging her claws deeper and deeper into Joffery.

I like your what if, but I think excluding Jaime's actions from it was a bit of a mistake.

The problem with this scenario is Olenna wouldn’t have been dumb enough to give Joffrey just a partial dose of the poison (though I do like it was her dopey son Mace who bumps into her). Olenna would have either gone back to Sansa to get another dose of the poison (I would assume all the beads on the headdress had poison in them) or just abort on the plan completely. I doubt she’d take the risk unless she was sure she had enough poison to kill Joffrey

Suggestion: What if Tyrion died in Blackwater?

[JaKob]

What if Joffrey was sent to be Ned's ward after the cat incident

[kevineric]

Ive showed you to my mom and one of my buddies and im happy to say my mom binged everything instead of her normal Criminal minds episodes

[stevenblack]

If joff lived the sparrows wouldn't have made it an episode.

[hattruck]

I love especially what you did with Margaery. She is so good at paying the game.

[FatHeadKaii]

I’d like to think Daenary won’t attack her nephews kingdom. I’d love to see how she would react seeing Aegon on the throne.

[SomeWiseGuy.]

Now that was a good theory. You took this tale to some interesting places and none of the twists and turns felt forced, which is really nice. I hope the get more like this again in the future

[christian]

The war of the five kings and purple wedding era is always the best. And here even the faith and aegon were not boring. The danerys part and white walker part is always a little thin since the tv show was also very weak within it but I get one has to lean at least little into their interpretation.

[kylepinson]

You put out some of the best GOT vids I have found. Just outstanding stuff, definitely subbing

[mrScififan]

This will be good! The high sparrow would have lost his head very quickly.

[danielsantiagourtado]

Well. Westeros gets to suffer Aerys come again for longer😅😅😅😅😅

[AlienCookie]

Long live Joffrey the JUST
Long reign Joffrey the KIND

[odintheterridorable]

Love this one Margaery is one of my favorites

[generalbutterscotch]

What if Sansa married Tommen instead of Joffrey?

[Falicelovefan]

Can you do a what if Shae never betrayed Tyrion by testifying against him at his trial

[emie]

Cersei truly is the greatest enemy of the Lannisters lmao
