Game of Thrones is back in less than two months time, so to celebrate Twitter has turned the show’s characters into emojis and we’re SO here for it.
The countdown is well and truly on for the final ever series of Game of Thrones to hit the small screen and getting in on the action, Twitter has created custom emojis of all the contenders for the Iron Throne.
Obviously you’ve got the likely choices of Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow and Cersei Lannister, Tyrion Lannister and Sansa Stark are thrown in there too, along with Brienne of Tarth, Samwell Tarly and The Hound.
Pretty cool, right?
Fans seemed to think so and couldn’t get enough of their GOT favourites in emoji form, with some trying their luck and trialling a few rogue choices too.
Turns out emojis also come up for #MotherofDragons, #TheMountain and #AegonTargaryen too, but there was outrage that the likes of Tormund, Gendry, Podrick and Bron haven’t made the cut.
Although, Twitter TV did tease that more emojis could be heading our way. It posted: ‘#ForTheThrone Tweets are are being featured around the world. Who will sit on the Iron Throne? Keeping pledging your allegiance and yours could be next.’
Interesting…
It wasn’t just fans of the show who totally lost it over the Game of Thrones emojis, with stars of the hit HBO series finding it pretty cool too.
Nathalie Emmanuel, who plays Missandei, tweeted: ‘Holy Mother of Dragons I’m an emoji.’
Twitter also released a series of 20 never-before-seen poster images in the build up to the Great War, Peter Dinklage (Tyrion) shared those of his character Tyrion, Jon Snow, Daenerys and Cersei, teasing: ‘The End is Here.’
Game of Thrones is the most tweeted about TV show in Twitter’s history, with over 37million tweets being posted about it since 2017. Not a bad effort.
Its set to return with its eighth and final season on 14 April and already fan theories are being thrown about predicting how it could all end and who will come out on top.
So far there’s been no trailer for Game of Thrones season eight, but new footage released by HBO ahead of its premiere shows Ayra Stark mesmerised by seeing dragons for the first time.
It was enough to send fans into meltdown, with Twitter completely losing it over the scenes, all hyped up for Game Of Thrones’ return.
One said: ‘ARYA LOOKING AT DROGON ALMOST MADE ME CRY HOW EPIC IT WAS,’ while other’s agreed: ‘ARYA’S LITTLE SMILE WHEN SHE SEES A DRAGON I CAN’T.’
‘Arya finally getting to see the dragons???? IM CRYING IM BLESSED.’
