GoT (cont.)

[elisi]

being Online the day after game of thrones airs when you’ve never seen any of it has the same energy as finding a crying drunk at a party. you don’t know what’s going on, you only catch every third word and sometimes that word isn’t a word, but you hope... you hope they’re okay

Oh yes. But GoT is... everywhere. Like, I was (back whenever) spoiled for Jon Snow's death by overhearing a random conversation at work. That hasn't happened with any other show, ever.

Oh yeah, I get what you mean. At my job we ring a bell for some achievements and I did that on Tuesday and my bosses boss first says "great news" but then he said "Did you watch Game of Thrones??" Then later the same day two serious finance bros got stuck in a long Dany related conversation next to the tea and coffee station. Like, I went past when they started, I went past 15 minutes later they're still there.

!!! Damn. I find it fascinating when fannish stuff crosses into RL (as it were). Because it's not usual for people to discuss the motivations of TV characters.
