About

Forgesex refers to a memorable scene from HBO fantasy TV series Game of Thrones in which characters Arya Stark and Gendry have sexual intercourse in a Winterfell forge. Following the premiere of the episode containing the scene, it became a popular reference in the Game of Thrones fandom.

Origin

On August 28th, 2017, the day following the premiere of the Game of Thrones episode containing the Boatsex scene, Twitter user @nolanleaks made the first known post using the word "forgesex", referencing a potential sex scene between characters Arya Stark and her long-time friend Gendry, a blackmith.[1] The tweet gained 3 retweets and 10 likes in two years. On August 30th, 2017, Tumblr user asongoftarthandlannister used the term, with the post gaining 634 likes and reblogs in the same period.[2]

On April 21st, 2019, season eight episode "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" premiered.[3] In a scene of the episode, Arya Stark, portrayed by Maisie Williams, questions Gendry, portrayed by Joe Dempsie, about his past lovemaking experiences, and then invites him to have sex with her. The characters then proceed to have sex in a forge on a pile of sacks.

Such a classic move by bad-ass action hero types, fucking before the last act (the climax before the climax). Kinda reminded me of Terminator, actually, except in this case I wouldn't be surprised if there is no baby because the girl is the action hero in this case.

As in, she's gonna assassinate the Night King, fulfill her role in the overall plot of Game of Thrones, and then instantly die.
