In case you’re a GoT fan who somehow hasn’t heard by now, Oberyn Martell died in such a grisly fashion on Sunday’s episode that he earned a spot near the top of out list of most gruesome Game of Thrones deaths.

But as we try to move on from Oberyn’s ugly demise (and it won’t be easy), let’s celebrate the Red Viper’s lavish life, as actor Pedro Pascal imagines the Dornish prince’s decadent funeral (we’re guessing it’ll be a closed casket):

Things start serenely enough. "It would have to be a celebration," says Pedro. "We’re on the beach…whatever the Bahamas, Carribean region of Westeros is. There’s a bonfire. Nobody can wear black. You can only wear black if it’s a bikini or a Speedo."

Having had several months since his casting to contemplate Oberyn’s demise, Pedro spares no detail: "There’s tons of foods. Some really good Tex-Mex…No priests! There will be an MC; there will be a DJ…the DJ’s name will be DJ Sunspear"

Then, this a being a funeral in Westeros, things start to get ugly:

 

"I’m thrown into this enormous bonfire," says Pascal. "Everyone around the bonfire can start pleasuring themselves and having an orgy."

"I think I left out an important detail: Lannisters would definitely be invited…then those b*tches get thrown in the fire with me. I get to slay them in the afterlife."

At least he hasn’t lost his fighting spirit. If only there could be an Oberyn vs. Gregor Clegane round 2.

We’re sure Pedro’s character would play it a little safer the second time around. Rest in peace, Viper.
