Yes, it’s the MOST obvious pun. I know!
(Your mom is obvious.)
Twitter time, twitter time! As per the usual, we gathered Tweets from the #GameOfThrones, #GoTs6, and #Home hashtag…
(…though let me tell you, I quit on the #Home tag pretty quickly. How DARE people use Twitter to talk about things NOT Throne-y?!)
Anywayz. The Storify post is beneath the cut. If you want to go straight to the slideshow version, CLICK HERE.
Go!
Next week there’s more, you fools!
Yay!!! Fun time!
HODOR!
I loved the one about the person in charge of sizing up the dragon collars as they grew. I had wondered about that – hope it pays well.
This is so much fun!
This post makes my week. 😀
That awkward moment when I read “fatpinkmast” out loud enough for my coworkers to hear, then repeating it, as it took me 10 seconds to realize what that meant.
Very
Awkward.
A great twitter recap. I laughed, I cried, I remembered WotW groaning under the weight of everyone rushing here after the resurrection. Two thumbs up, Axey, fine holiday fare.
A few more favs:
So much of #GOTs6 is about renouncing identity- Arya, Bran, Cersei, Dany, etc. Very Buddhist, in a way.
Bonus points to Kit Harington for not breaking into tickle-giggles in this scene.
AND HOW CAN THIS BE? FOR HE *IS* THE KWISATZ HADERACH!!” (cant resist a Dune reference)
And then Carice’s tweet “Happy Now?;”
This was a very good one. I’m amazed it only took me 40 minutes to go through 755 slides.
The greatest love of all is finding one’s tweet in it.
Axey U crack me up! Loved all the tweets! The GoT fandom sure are clever and funny! Good job! Looking forward to next week’s version already!
Excellent job, Axey. I cried, I laughed. I spit my tea through my nose. Thumbs up to Axey. You had good source material though 🙂
Sue the Fury,
WotW groaned. Westeros broke.
Thanks Axey. I laughed out loud, very loud.
Everybody happy to see Hodor – the sad thing is, not only could he talk, he was observant. Watch the part again when Lyanna tells him some of the sparring secrets and Ho/Wyllis comes back at her with something he’s observed on his own. So, he was no dummy. I thought it was interesting that it was commented on that, as big as he is, if he had training he would be a heckofa fighter. Reminds me of that line in a prior season when one of the mutineers sneers at him that if he was as big as Hodor, he’d rule the world. Wonder if it means anything.
Nobody commented on Edd being a badass? Edd is taking charge! Were the pics during the off season of Edd going with the group to the BastardBowl? If not, I see him as the next LC, after Thorne is dealt with, of course.
I felt awful about Walda and the baby, too. Of all the Freys that need killing, she was one I didn’t want to see go – looks like a lot of people feel that way too. Walder won’t know what really happened, he won’t see it as Karma, someone will tell him it was “Roose’s enemies.” He might not even care: he did HIS job, he got her married, what happens after that is her husband’s problem. Who he might think are the enemies that offed Roose and Walda is anyone’s guess.
Again, enjoyed this a lot, as I do every on-season week. Peace Axey
THIS!!
About Jonno… Some people are comparing him to Jesus, but no, that’s a different piece of fiction. -Ozzyman Reviews
Brannis the Mannis,
Greatest story ever sold?
Why are so many people spelling Hodor’s name “Wylis” instead of Willis? Is it canon or does it just seem like how Martin would spell it?
Other queer queries: Where does Wun Wun sleep? Will Margaery ever get to check out Loras’ boyfriends’ butts again? Is Ollie getting enough milk? Will Cersei keep the bangs and should she?
cindy,
Dune reference is my new favorite thing. 🙂
Oh My Freaking Gods! 755 tweets made the cut this week! Somebody get Axey a drink… actually get Axey a bottle!
These have become such fun, I’m glad I finally quit being a bystander and began to participate. We are collectively hilarious.
Some people are asking why the dragons turned from Tyrion and disappeared into the darkness (or even “back into the cave,” as if Daenerys would keep her babies in a grubby cave). Well, my theory is that it was their way of saying, “Meet you at the back door, little guy, and you sure as hell better open it.”
Brannis the Mannis,
A+
Bangs are never a good idea.
Just got back from vacationing in the Iron Islands, where I checked out some of the comedy clubs. All the jokes were about seasickness. Two word review: Don’t bother!
Next year, I’m going to the Stormlands, or maybe Costa Rica.
Rygritte,
True perhaps, but I’d make one exception: Zooey Deschanel. She’s unrecognizable without them. 😉
The one that made me lol was Gendry distracted by on Theon’s hair being longer than Brienne’s.
I had closed captioning on, that’s how they spelled it in the captions.
Am I the only one who misses ANGRYGOTFAN?
#NOONEUNDERSTAAAANDS
Best way to start the day, hands down. It’s like reliving the episode surrounded by sassy friends ? Thanks for all your hard work Axey!!
Thronetender,
Thanks a lot for that info, Thronetender.
These twitter recaps are always so much fun. Especially for an episode as great as this one.
Thank you soooo much for this Axey! I really can’t tell you how much I friggin’ appreciate these tweets, and I can only imagine how much work you put into them.
After the actual episodes, they are my favourite part of the on-season. 😀
Thanks for another week, Axey. It was a hard few days at the starkalypse but I think I became a Brienne fan this week. Payback is Coming.
Daniellica,
Yes, I’m afraid you are.
That guy isn’t funny. He is certifiably insane, and some of the actions that he has taken over the past few years have been heinous to the point that they strain credulity. Once I realized that, his shtick ceased to be a parody and became legitimately sad.
Good riddance.
Still praying for Frey pies.
pfreying.
#TeamManderly
Jared,
Agreed.
Nodor,
There won’t be anything like that. Thank god.
There are no Frey’s in the North anyway.
1. Bangs are ALWAYS a great idea. *checks self out in mirror* Yup.
2. That IDIOT and rude and crude asshat “angrygotfan” or whatever he calls himself is NOT missed, no way, no how.
3. Twitter/WotW Twitter fans are the funniest, cool, clever people on the planet.
4. Axey is a sinner doing a saint’s work rounding all this up for us to enjoy. *bows*
Dune references kill it every time. As Oliver said “more please”. While it takes a good 35 minutes to go through all the Tweets, I still seem to not want it to end.
And, is it me or is season 6 going to be exactly what all the stars hyped (hate that word now) it to be? Come out of the cage swinging for the bleachers and not stop until we are all wrung out and too emotionally, mentally and sensibly exhausted? Only one thing to say to that….
BRING IT ON BITCHES!!
Love it!!!
These are always so much fun!!!
Axey – It’s obvious you put a lot of time and work into these Twitter Recaps, however I never realized quite how much. I saw the youtube discussion video with you and Sandrine this week, and you said you had been up until 6 in the morning collecting tweets. Wow! A Wun Wun sized thank you!!!
Laughter is the best medicine, and even in those lucky times nothing really ails you, those times when spirits are already high, laughter lifts the spirits even higher. Thank you for making me smile, and laugh, and lifting my spirits.
Jared,
I remember when I first started watching GOT live during Season3, I would go on twitter and read tweets and he would always come up and found him so annoying…. I blocked him so that he didn’t show up when I search game of thrones
WHats his deal? And hes no longer tweeting that?
Excellent as always!
Personal faves:
“One does not simply….warg into Hordor”
and
“Olly you did not just try to stab Tormund Giantsbane. You unbelievable c**t.”
If we say his name 3 times, does he get summoned here? (I hope not)
That guy has a serious problem. He needs therapy.
The twitter recap was so good. I laughed so hard at some of them. I look forward to them on Tuesday.
Count me among the chorus that says “No More AngryGOTFan.” While I do enjoy the saltiness of book purists’ tears (and I am so looking forward to the angry screeching from book purists on Sunday when the ToJ is 6 vs 2 (instead of 7 vs 3) and there’s no Dawn), that guy’s antics was not fun at all. Good riddance, I say.
BENJEN IS OLLY CONFIRMED!!!!!
