People had a lot to say about Arya Stark and Gendry’s sex scene last night in the latest episode of Game of Thrones. And one of those people is Sophie Turner, according to BuzzFeed.

Turner plays Sansa Stark, Arya’s sibling and the Lady of Winterfell, in the hit HBO series. She took to Instagram to make a wild, Easter-themed comment about her fictional sister’s sex scene.

“In honor of Easter, I guess Game of Thrones wanted the storyline to have a little hop, hop, hop, hoppin’ into that pussaaaay,” Turner said in her Instagram Story, which was reposted to Twitter.
True to form, Turner then proceeded to chug the rest of the wine she was holding.
In the second episode of Game of Thrones, Arya and Gendry have a NSFW scene. Maisie Williams’ character, Arya, was just 11 years old in the first season. She’s someone viewers have watched grow up throughout the show’s many seasons. But that doesn’t stop fans from still seeing Arya as that 11 year old from season 1.
So, the new development was understandably weird for a lot of people.

The scene led to an internet spike in the question, “how old is Maisie Williams?” Although Williams’ character is 18 in the show, she is actually 22 years old in real life.
In 2011, George R.R. Martin spoke about how the show’s characters had much different ages than the ages they were originally created with in the book series, according to Pop Culture. This was done intentionally to make sure no underage sex occurred throughout the series’ entirety.
