Okay I need to talk about the Sept scene for a second because I know I complain about GoT alot but like??? That scene gave me chills. The way it was shot was so damn beautiful, how the music kept rising and falling, how it kept switching from Margaery in the Sept to Lancel crawling towards the candle, to Cersei watching from her tower, and then how Margaery slowly realizes something is terribly wrong and how she tries to get the hell out of there and this sickening sense of dread just starts building and building and the last moment when she turns around and looks at the High Sparrow and the look on his face when he too realizes that something is off far too late and the music suddenly swells and the moment when they feel the rumbling under the floor and then they’re gone…
Oh man idk i just really really adored how that was shot.
Season six of Game of Thrones had everything: Time travel, necromancy, dragons, shame… It also had 7.4 million tagged posts and 8.2 million searches here on Tumblr (that’s through the duration of the season, April 24th to June 26th, 2016). We analyzed literally everything tagged #GOT and #Game of Thrones for this special edition of Fandometrics.
And the least popular: 6×06, “Blood of My Blood”: only 1.7% of the posts.
Top Characters
Jon Snow had the biggest year (of course) with more than 1.5 million of the 7.4 million GOT posts tagged with character names. To illustrate your absolute favorites, we now bring you charts!

Interestingly, most didn’t use the common portmanteaus (think: Stucky) that are popular with modern ships. 61% of the tags used a classic “character 1 x character 2" naming structure instead. Here are your favorites:
In the end it took three of them to pull her away. And it was all for nothing. The bedclothes were burnt, but by the time they carried her off her thighs were bloody again.
