Round-Up: Game of Thrones Tumblrs

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lweo0rTaXQ1r1rol6o1_1280.jpg



Arrested Westeros
Arrested Development quotes + Game of Thrones stills = comedy gold. Yes, it’s been done before — but come on, how perfect is the post that mashes up a behanded Jaime with a behanded Buster?

Game of Laughs
Except for Tyrion Lannister's witty comebacks, the merciless series with a penchant for bloodlust doesn't make us chuckle very often. That's why we need blogs like Game of Laughs to pick apart the funny bits and do what the Internet does best — make crass jokes, memes and hilarious GIFs.

Fuck Yeah Game of Thrones Art
This Tumblr is a reminder that everyone is more artistically talented than you. It pools together amazing fan art, such as these handmade dragon eggs and this lifelike drawing of Arya Stark.
Another fan art Tumblr worth checking out is Gallery of Thrones.


Fuck Yeah Game of Thrones (and 'FYeah' any specific character)
If you love a particular fictional character, there's probably an "FYeah" Tumblr page dedicated to him or her. Here are seven accounts for your favorite Game of Thrones families and characters: The Lannisters, The Starks, The Tyrells, The Greyjoys, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and Gendry.

A Game of Clothes
More real-world fashion, this time fit for the rest of the series’s characters. There are some deep cuts here; Alys Karstark, anyone?

Game of GIFs
Just what it sounds like. You’ll find sets from every episode of the series, as well as all the reaction GIFs your heart desires.

A Game of Ice and Fire Confessions
Admit it — you kind of like Cersei Lannister.That's the idea behind numerous confessional Game of Thrones Tumblrs — safe spaces for fans to admit their guiltiest or weirdest thoughts about the show. There are multiple accounts, full of secrets and interesting theories. None of them appear to be updated, but there are still plenty of pages to pore through and think to yourself, "Omg, me too." But beware: Some Tumblrs contain show and book spoilers.

Game of Kittehs
In its author’s own words: “Your favorite Game of Thrones characters, but with crappy paint job ears and whiskers.” That’ll do, Internet. That’ll do.

Game of Laughs
Looking purely for funny GIFs or other goofy bits of Thrones ephemera? This is all the blog you’ll ever need.

Joffrey Bieber
Actress Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones, recently called Justin Bieber "the Joffrey Baratheon of our time." For the unenlightened, Baratheon is the current king of the seven kingdoms, and he's downright evil.  The blog splices imagery of Bieber and Baratheon, proving that they are one and the same — you know, if Bieber were actually a murderous king from an ancient, fantasy world.

My Mom Watches Game of Thrones
This is what happens when you discuss TV’s most compelling, violent, sex-filled show with your parents. Spoiler alert: Sometimes, they just don’t understand.

The Official Game of Thrones Tumblr
Run by HBO, the show's official Tumblr is a constantly updated source of fan creations, such as paintings and drawings.


Pretty Game of Thrones GIFs
This is where Tumblr excels. If you like beautiful GIFs that give you all the feels after they're put through a hazy filter, this is where you need to go.


A Song of Ice and Fire University
For those who wish there were more think pieces about the bloody HBO series, get your fill at A Song of Ice and Fire University. It gathers critical essays and analysis from across the Tumblrverse and brings them to one page, so you can geek out on intellectual theories with web friends.

Tumblr of Thrones
Here's a good, old-fashioned fan Tumblr. Run by a woman named Susan, who describes herself as a student, mom and writer, the page doesn't post any spoilers beyond the episodes that have aired. It's chock-full of GIFs, photosets and interviews with the actors. 


What Would Khaleesi Wear?
If you're obsessed with the Mother of Dragons, you'll find like-minded folks on this blog. It culls pieces of fashion inspiration from the modern world that Khaleesi would probably don. The site's creator also runs a store, so you can shop for a bunch of Game of Thrones-themed goodies, such as tank-tops, banners and jewelry.
