But between the moments of utter shock, viewers find time to hit their keyboards and social media to deliver some genuinely hilarious and heartfelt memes that propel themselves around the cyber-world. Here are the most delightful Game of Thrones memes to prepare you for more meme-able shenanigans in season 8.

I think Arya Stark wrote "Look What You Made Me Do" #listofnames #tswift #arya #agirlhasnoname @Maisie_Williams pic.twitter.com/2HYBUO7eHX - Alexea Candreva (@alexeacandreva) September 14, 2017

8. Look What You Made Arya Do

They might not bear a physical resemblance, but it's fair to say that Arya Stark is at least as single-minded in her drive to vengeance as Reputation-era Taylor Swift.

7. The Unstoppable Savagery of Olenna Tyrell

In a show literally about savagery, none delivered the goods with quiet aplomb quite like Olenna Tyrell. RIP.

6. George R.R. Martin Is the Ultimate Killer

The author of the original Game of Thrones novels, George R.R. Martin is no stranger to internet culture. He gets his proper tribute as the one truly calling the shots in Westeros here. (But seriously, Martin, just finish the damn books already.)

If only Jorah Mormont could hit the undo button.

3. Incest Family Tree

There is perhaps nothing more unintentionally (or is it?) funny on Game of Thrones than its penchant for incest . We somehow feel like George R.R. Martin himself would be delighted by this meme that takes this habit very seriously by mapping how exactly creepy Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryens sexual relationship is with the help of Ancestry.com-like receipts.

2. The Coveted Just-Ripe-Enough Avocado

The most relatable of all Game of Thrones memes.

1. Hodor Held That Door

This is less about humor than it is about honoring the most recent emotionally weighty moment on the show, which then immediately spurred a sea of worthy memes. Hodor, you are a true Westeros hero, and thankfully the internet knows it.
