Tumblr needs coding so that before any new post tagged “Game of Thrones” will go through, this message pops up:
Yes, Theon is Lily Allen’s little brother.
Yes, Sean Bean does die a lot in movies. How bout that.
Yes, Jaime Lannister looks like Prince Charming from Shrek 2.
And no, Game of Thrones isn’t porn but that’s a very clever joke.Are you sure you still want to post this?
BRB.
Off to Dragon Con

Another actress joins the cast
According to English actress Stephanie Blacker’s agency website, she’s been cast in the next season of Game of Thrones in an unspecified role.
Blacker was a regular on the British cult series “The Cut” and has guested on other shows such as “Doctors.” She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the British Independent Film Festival Awards for the film “Lab Rats.”
We’ve contacted HBO and are hoping for official confirmation of the actress and her role.
Basically she could be playing anyone, her resume isn’t high-profile enough to guarantee she’s got a recurring role. But she does fit the physical description of Val. There are many small roles remaining for women, including other characters like Dalla. So we’ll see.
I like how fandoms are becoming their characters.
- Sherlock fandom: As crazy as they are intelligent, they have to face a lot of prejudice against them, but usually don't care. The fans suffer from extreme boredom (due to the ridiculously long hiatuses) and do anything to cure it. Observant (and dedicated) as they are, there is barely a detail in the show that hasn't been found, pointed out and analysed to hell and back yet. Most of the fandom is made up of intellectual elitists who think they are better than anyone else (the Sherlocks) and more easy-going people who know how to turn everything into a witty joke and are a bit pervy, like John "Three Continents" Watson.
- Doctor Who fandom: Goes from loving everything and everyone to pure spite and aggression so fast it will make your head spin. But overall, it's a fandom with a big, big heart that shares a lot of dramatic emotions from happiness to grief, always watches out for the little things, embraces what it is taught, is full of curiosity and has a weird sense humour.
- Supernatural fandom: Basically one big, dysfunctional family, like the Winchesters. Deeply emotional, similar to the DW fandom, but this one focusses more on grief, disappointment, despair, anger, hatred and fear, often resulting in painful fights when emotion and personal attachment cloud the fans' sense of rational judgement and even their dark humour doesn't help any longer. Still a surprisingly educated, creative and dedicated fandom, with people that will spill out their heart for what they love, and a family that sticks together throughout all the pain.
- Avengers Fandom: butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts
- Game of Thrones Fandom: Constantly in denial that everyone they love will die.
When people say that Sansa is a silly, one-dimensional character...
