This season of Game of Thrones gave us one of the most iconic final lines in pop culture history.
After drinking the poison that will kill her, Lady Olenna Tyrell reveals to Jaime Lannister that it was she who killed Joffrey, and utters the now-iconic words: “Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.”
The Queen of Thorns going out with a final ‘fuck you’ to the Lannisters was a fitting death for a character whose legendary barbs stole every scene she was in.
It also inspired one of the most widely-shared memes in Game of Thrones history.

Well, over at Dragon Con in the United States, an old lady who is way cooler than you’ll ever be just put every other cosplayer to shame.
She dressed up as Lady Olenna complete with a rose (the sigil of House Tyrell), an Iron Throne, and ‘deal with it’ sunnies, and it’s honestly the best thing you’ll see today.

Further clarification. Looks like she’s 90-something and has been doing this for a few years.

Her daughter even dressed up as Brienne of Tarth to wheel her around. This family is goals AF.
Actually, it is. Her daughter dresses up as Brienne.

And then it looks like her granddaughter cosplayed Daenerys Targaryn. SOMEONE LET ME INTO THIS FAMILY.

One Dragon Con attendee even snapped a pic of the woman with two manservants. (I’m sorry, I don’t know what they’re cosplaying, but it doesn’t look like Game of Thrones. If someone recognises their characters, hit us up in the comments.)
I missed her wearing her deal with it glasses, but I also got this- which I think is also rad. pic.twitter.com/zFyFNJ8QTc

If this lady doesn’t win some kind of cosplay award for this, then something is extremely wrong with the world.

Olenna is dead. Long live Olenna.
