Ed Sheeran wishes his Game Of Thrones character had been killed, just to make you all happy

As alarming and stunt-like as it seemed when we first learned that Ed Sheeran would appear in an episode of Game Of Thrones, his actual cameo proved to be much less distracting than it could’ve been. Playing a Lannister soldier who crossed paths with Arya Stark on a journey to King’s Landing, Sheeran was really just there to sing a little tune and humanize the dudes that Arya had believed to be straight-up evil ever since their army slaughtered her entire family. It was a fine sequence, but some Game Of Thrones viewers were disappointed that Sheeran’s character didn’t get killed—either by super-assassin Arya herself or in the enormous, dragon-assisted battle that occurred shortly after their meeting. As far as anyone knows, then, Lannister Ed Sheeran is still somewhere out in Westeros, adding weird rap breaks to his songs and doing that audio loop trick he likes in his live shows.
