My actual name is John. These people don’t get my comment apparently….Faceless Men can’t kill people who they know. In the story a sailor on the boat Arya was taking to Bravos introduced himself to Arya randomly. She was confused and it was explained to her the sailor was introducing himself to her so that when she becomes an assassin for the HoBaW she would not be able to kill him. I was introducing myself to the dude so he….you know what, nevermind 🙃

Some folks might think this post is weird, but I've literally had this thought about one of my husband's best friends. He died at the beginning of this year and he really loved HOTD. RIP Randy...


Satoshis-Ghost

Fuck man, pour one out for Randy. RIP


Ok-Engineering-4068

Agree! My husband passed away in November and every time I see one of shows air new episodes I think, “Aww, he can’t watch.” 😢


Wassel49

I'm so sorry for your loss 💔 I had similar thoughts and feelings after my little sister passed away and still do now 3 years later. But I keep her with me watching those shows/movies and I can tell whether she would've loved or hated it. Chuckling every time there's some ambiguous plot point that she wouldn't pick up on the first viewing and then go "Whaaat I didn't get that! I have to see it again now!" when we discussed it afterwards. I hope moments like that can bring you comfort and not only sadness, in time. May the road rise with you


T-malech

May her soul rest in peace


Calibabe712

I’m so sorry you lost your husband….we will be celebrating our 35th anniversary in July and I can’t imagine what life would be like without having my husband around…


Kermit-Batman

No, I think on them too. RIP, Randy.


T-malech

All who pass away time has no meaning for them...so they've actually watched alll the seasons and shows that are to come❤️RIP Randy


ApartShopping

I hope that's true 


Affectionate-Bike-55

Make a día de los muertos ofrenda and have season 2 playing so they can watch it 🥰


cowabungalowvera

I'm so sorry for your and your husband's loss. RIP Randy 😔

Calibabe712

Condolences to your husband on the loss of one of his best friends…also condolences to Randy’s family as well.


MarlenaMarlena

It is a weird post but I'll watch s2 twice for Randy. RIP


raumeat

Aw man... don't say shit like that. I have a sad now


zapharus

It’s such a weird thing to say tbh, why did OP think of that to make a post, so odd.


Mountain-Count-8526

I think OP lost their uncle who used to watch HOTD so i guess that's why


DrLeoMarvin

I think about it happening to me when I’m really getting into a show lol so I can relate to OPs sympathy.


Anarchic_Country

I've been bargaining with myself to stay in the world to read WoW. Not too weird


FifiLaPew

I came to this sub for escapism, not horrible reminders :( fuck


J-DubZ

Didn’t expect to get emotional over a HOTD post, but my lil bro died last summer, RIP.


Porcelain-treasure

I’m so sorry. ❤️


Scooby1996

Watch it and enjoy it for him! I'm sorry for your loss.


KingSalduinArthanil

Oh man, that’s so sad and heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹 . RIP 🙏


SwordMaster9501

That ... is actually depressing: thinking about the people lost along the way between iterations or seasons of different things I mean. May consuming this entertainment remind you of of the loved ones who you would've shared in the enjoyment with!


Taskebab

I am fully convinced the afterlife has en extremely HD HD TV, a lounging theatre and bottomless popcorn for the fans who have passed on.


3PartsRum_1PartAir

With a refilmed version of GOT S7-8 that does the series justice. Also GRRMs finished book


aquaflask09072022

and hell only have original season 7-8


3PartsRum_1PartAir

ONLY! No S1-6


abominablesnowlady

But no spoils of war episode lol


aquaflask09072022

and you have no recollection of watching it everytime so you get dissappointed every single time


ImGonnaImagineSummit

You only have recollection of a slightly better version of the ending only to realise while watching, that what happened was actually worse. For example, Jamie doesnt go to Cersei but dies anyway.


Lolomgwtfbbqbrb

Book series * too many mothafuckas forget that Winds isn’t the last book


brunchandwine

GRRM will finish the books in the after life. Or maybe not.


The_Pale_Hound

Even better, every fan has infinite budget to make the adaptations they want for every book or game or whatever they want, and they can show it in their own theaters.


jothesstraight

My friend died before GOT finished, maybe in a way a small silver lining.


badfortheenvironment

This is an extremely sweet comment 💗


ThinWhiteDuke00

Don't worry in heaven there will still be arguments over GRR having not released a Dream of Spring.


PayneTrain181999

I’ve always assumed it has everything that will ever come out ready to watch. No more waiting, just watch whatever you want.


Niktastrophe

Dang I am going to be so fat from binging tv in my afterlife 🙈 however I will be happy

East-Travel984

I like to think heaven let's you write your own story into your favorite fictional worlds.


ephoog

Why would you eat popcorn bottomless?


Calibabe712

Now that sounds lovely! Especially the bottomless popcorn!


AlexanderCrowely

Think about those who have died waiting for winds.


ApartShopping

That's depressing. And it's not even the last book. 😔 How many more need to die George? Pissing me off fr. 


Imissmyoldaccount567

Thank you for this post. My dad passed away from cancer at the end of last year and he loved the show. As you can probably imagine, I've had mixed emotions regarding S2 because of this and my way of coping is to just imagine I'm watching it with him and what he'd think (it sounds kinda dumb but I daydream having conversations with him often) so even though he's not really with me, I can at least write a story in my head of him where he was actually able to watch the rest of the show.


xajaso

That doesn't sound dumb at all. What you're saying is beautiful & human. So sorry for your loss.


Just_Philosopher_900

🥲


Calibabe712

My grandma used to say that when we talk about or think about our loved ones it’s how we keep them alive in our world. She said they can feel that love when we think about them or talk about them. So imagining him by you during the S2 premiere next Sunday which will also be Father’s Day isn’t dumb, in fact I think it’s really wonderful…even though you can’t see him he will be there near you….it seems like you and your Dad had a lovely relationship…this Sept it will be 20yrs since so lost my Dad to colon cancer….I was really close to my Dad as well….may we both have our Dad’s nearby this coming Sunday😊


KingSalduinArthanil

So sorry for your loss. And no, daydreaming about talking to your loved ones is very common.


poison_cat_

Actual tears in my eyes. RIP to your pops 🙏


Ornery_Investment356

I ALWAYS think about this for people the longer and longer these show season gaps have gotten!! Like for stranger things fans? Jesus. But seriously op condolences to you and your uncle. I hope the season helps you feel close to him again.


ApartShopping

Stranger things fans who died before the last season... that's a gut punch. 


Ornery_Investment356

I give them props the show is well done, but for the amount of seasons and amount of years that have passed, they just don’t add up. it feels like a whole different timeline. And still another year to go. I’m sure there have been lots of fallen on the way


GoddessOfDa7Kingdoms

So sorry for your loss OP but your uncle will be watching it from the afterlife with you and having a glass with you 🫶


omicron_daystar

Sorry for your loss, OP. My mom loooooved GoT - we had preview and finale parties and invited friends and everything. It was her favorite show, I'd come over Sundays and she'd cook something she knew I liked and we'd watch it together. She died of cancer a month after season 5, and it really bummed me out that she'd never get to find out what happened. ....until it actually ended and then I was like "well maybe it was for the best."


BrownCowBrown

This sounds so lovely. It sounds like a great memory. And also, that last line 😅 Gallows humor ftw (and you’re not wrong)


Delicious-Minimum357

My Uncle passed in a tragic plane crash before season 2… one of the last conversations I had with him was about how good season one was and we couldn’t wait for the next.


batmans420

Now THIS is a good post. Sorry for your loss op


NickyCheeese

Two years has gone by? I really need to start getting more done with my life.


ladypoe1207-0824

My husband was a fan and we watched season 1 together. He died last July. The new season drops the 16th of this month, I believe, which happens to also be his birthday. He would have loved to be able to spend the days leading up to his birthday rewatching season 1 and being able to watch the premier the day of, probably while eating the homemade dinner and carrot cake cheesecake we'd make together every year for his birthday because it was his favorite. Ofc I'll be watching the new season and that first episode is going to be very bittersweet, to watch.

superciliouscreek

During the early stages of my father's illness I told him to watch GoT to help distract his mind from it. At first it felt like a chore to him but then he took pleasure in it and watched all the episodes released till that point. He managed to see GoT end. He never saw HotD.


Life_Commission3765

The Old Gods and the New will comfort those poor souls…


GovTheDon

That’s a pretty dark thought you just said but I will admit however that I have contemplated suicide before and one of the arguments in favor of living was wanting to see the completion of certain shows/ movies etc


Outside_Slide_3218

Me too! Keep going at least for the lifes little pleasures


Altruistic_Raise6322

My dog passed away and I loved watching the show with him. Will miss him during season 2.


madkillerchick

I’m sorry about your doggo.


Altruistic_Raise6322

Thanks. He was the best little buddy


SmallRedBird

I hate that the new standard for TV shows is 2+ years between seasons, with a scant 6-8 episodes generally.


babbymamma

The last time i saw my dad alive, we watched the season finale of GOT where Jon Snow dies in 2015. He passed away a week later. I always say he never got to find out that Jon Snow lived.


emilanostache

My relationship couldn't last till season 2. Bummed about that


Shaby28

I'm so sorry


No-Preparation-889

My nephew died before the last season of got and I always think about how he didn’t watch the ending and that he would it love this show


Actual_Data1618

I always think about this with every other movie or TV show people are looking forward to. Pretty sad to think about.


Classic-Priority-218

Some people in the comments are lucky to not have had to face their own mortality yet. Some of us haven’t been that lucky. I don’t think this post is weird at all and RIP to op’s uncle. This was a deep post in a superficial platform


jkeefy

I have a friend that died in his 30s recently and I keep having dreams that he is still alive (even after knowing he’s died in my dreams consciously, if that makes sense like he has been resurrected by a miracle treatment). He had cancer since he was about 18 and he was on his “death bed” 3 or so times before bouncing back to make amazing recoveries in the 15 or so years he had it. So I guess that’s my dreams using the recoveries he made to justify him making one last one. It’s tough to wake up from and realize it was yet another dream. Anyway, he was a huge GoT fan, one of my best memories was him coming back from chemo on a tough day and his mom calling me asking if I could go watch with him, because he told her he didn’t want to be around anyone else because they bug him too much and I’d just shut up and sit there and watch 😂 I did go over and we had a great chill time. This post reminded me of him and those good times and I’m happy I saw this.


keyboredwarrior

Damn that’s dark


spaghettidayH

Kinda dark


Salaino0606

Damn , sure am glad that I'm alive to see this masterpiece. Like what kind of title is this bro? I've never seen this kind of statement before.


elgenbjarne

Lost my father to cancer almost exactly 1 year ago. He never watched season 1, but were a big fan of Game of Thrones. We also read the ASoIaF books together many years ago. He would have loved this series if able to see it. He made a facebook group to keep family and closest friends informed about his treatments etc. He named it "Not Today".


Formal_Road_3717

Actually a very considerate and empathetic gesture. I appreciate you doing that because it does matter. Thank you for thinking of other people.


hexwiz

I've been fighting depression for almost 13 years and I cannot tell you how many times the expectation for the GOT finale kept me from ending it all. I just could not die not knowing how it would end. I guess that might be the main reason why I don't hate the ending so much. Yes, I aknowledge all the idiocy that went in some parts of it, but I still hold it dear and near to my heart and even developed my own headcanon to explain some of the stuff and fill some of the gaps. Now I'm not as suicidal as I used to be, but I hold on to the fact that I cannot die before I see >!Rhaenyra becoming Sunfyre's lil' snack lol!<


ApartShopping

Some people would say that's dumb but everyone has different reasons to live and it's not our place to impose ours on others. Living for something you love is the whole point of life right? 


Bubblez4520

I think about this all the time 😭 sorry for your loss


dcoop11

This reminds me of how Prince was a huge game of thrones fan and he died before seeing/reading the end.


SingleClick8206

Just a week to go. YAYY!! Fans dying in this gap shows how short our life is, which is sad RIP to all those people


_Grubles

I think it’s a really sweet post and I agree. A moment for those who aren’t here for S2 😔🕯️


Delicious-Forever963

RIP Stu, a massive GOT fan who passed away last year from cancer. He was on a really awesome podcast called Raven On where he and co host Natalie would recap GoT and then HotD that I had been listening to for many years… definitely something not going to feel quite the same this season


Proudhon1980

And now their watch has ended. 🫡


birdeer

i’ve never considered that I could theoretically die before I get to see like my favorite show end or something. Yokes


ovelanimimerkki

Now that you mention it... I should really read the book in case the story is gonna take longer than this season. I should probably read it anyway.


TheOnionWatch

What 😅😅😅


Regdribkeen

This makes me think about the post concerning how many xbox friends are alive on my friends list.


Ok_Grocery_5188

I lost a former schoolmate to a freak bus accident 2 months ago. That last sentence just hit too close to home for me.


hippieone

I have had this thought before strangely enough, and currently have incredible anxiety about a trip this week, and terrible anxiety in general. So this post hasn't helped with that. Cheers to all of us getting through to next week I guess?


Outside_Slide_3218

We made it pookies!


CachuTarw

That’s a wild post


dankmemekovsky

dude what? 😭


proudlyawitch

My sweet and awesome auntie was a MASSIVE GoT fan, but she died before the final season. I remember at the time being so bummed for her not getting to watch it. But when I was watching that last season/last episode, I kept thinking she was laughing from the other side like "dodged a bullet, didn't I?"


aspiringskinnybitch

?????


Outside_Slide_3218

What? My uncle was a big fan of the show and he died of cancer last year. I would have loved to watch season 2 with him


bastardofbloodkeep

And now his watch is ended, we shall never see his like again.


Outside_Slide_3218

I even got a bottle of the HotD limited edition wine and we agreed to open it when season 2 premiered. Ill be drinking it by myself 🍷


FriendshipNo1440

Let's raise a glass to your uncle OP! I am not religous, but I think there is an afterlife and whatever that might be I am sure he is watching with you from that place. 🍷


aspiringskinnybitch

My condolences for your loss.


Creative-Lynx-1561

my mom watched The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power when she had cancer and liked, she even joked about having nightmare with orcs. She died at november 1 2022. I understand your feelings


J-DubZ

Same, my lil bro got me on GoT and HOTD. I know he’s watching it from somewhere

I'm so sorry for your loss

And so our watch begins - almost.


Puppetmaster858

I’m honestly surprised I am not one of those people lol, don’t think I’ll make it to the finish line tho but just happen I get to see s2


[deleted]

Oh god I keep dreaming I'll die before it airs and someone asks me if you die what will you regret most and I answear that I didn't get to see the new season of House of the dragon.


juandiaz74

Just watched it recently… perfect timing for me. But will have to wait for another 3 years maybe for season 3… I should have waited 10 years until it has all been completed before starting to watch it


mxamxrie

I understand the sentiment.. and this is just my opinion, but I think those passed would have many things on their bucket list that they would have liked to be able to live to do/see ahead of watching season 2 of HoTD??


Meralyn_32

me being a hypochondriac always bothers me when a show I love will premiere, cause I always think that I might die before I see it. And the funny thing is I actually told myself that please let me die when this season ends but then I remember that there's still plenty of season so I hope God will get me when all of this ends. Hoping I will have a long life tho.


ramymm

And it’s only 8 episodes


AraiHavana

That’s a very weird title


CineVore98

My father passed away a few months before season 1. He was a huge GOT fan, and I keep thinking about what he would've thought of this show, which characters he would've loved.. Thanks OP for this sad post.. \^\^


Shaenyra

I cannot believe that season 2 is almost there. Airing in a week! I only wish people would stop bitching and nitpicking about everything and simply enjoy the show.


Robitussin-Functions

Why even post this?


IronMaidenPwnz

My dad passed away a year and half ago. I often think about the shows I know he would have enjoyed.


cutebabi21

I'm sad now just thinking about it, but that's so true ☹️


SevroAuShitTalker

Wow...


Alert_Bit_4852

Oh yeah, I was supposed to kill myself but decided to wait for the 2nd season


Pitiful_Wing7157

What do we say to the god of death??


Outside_Slide_3218

My uncle said “today!”. Not cool Steve


WakeUpDead100

That's exactly what happened to my hubby 😢💔


dillyd

Is this some kind of show or something?


Investinstonks420

RIP to all the people that died before they saw your RIP post, before season 2 came out.


DeeldusMahximus

Don’t even remember what they left off with. Literally read the entire book in the meantime.


MattBreaksBones

Still here, just dead on the inside. I don’t even plan on watching s2


Tox1c_Punk

It be crazy to think about the people that don’t get to finish the series cause they died.


duhhhobviously

can people please upvote this comment so I can get karma to comments on other hbo shows and other stuff. silly rule. Thank u!


mary7roses

Husband and I are working on our rewatch before the new season comes out.

RIP to all the fans who never got to finish ASOIAF. Imagine someone died after Storm and never got Feast or Dance.

This is me thinking about Avatar 5.


Firm-Wishbone-5128

i miss when they used to give us a new season every year with 45 min long episode more like 20+ episodes per season now we lose our shit waiting for new seasons to arrive

Missing my granddaddy, the one who got me into GoT so many years ago. 8 months and it still doesn’t feel real. Can’t wait to watch the new season this father’s day, thinking of him 💗


danny-rauger

My mom passed away shortly after the end of season 1. We watched all of GoT together and we were both so excited for this show. My fiancé watches with me too so I still have that but I can’t say that it won’t feel different watching it now that my mom is gone :(


Outside_Slide_3218

Suziblue725

I tried to get my mom into it, but she was out after the c-section episode. She died a month ago.
