Even if you’re among the few people in the planet who is not yet familiar with “Game of Thrones,” it is unlikely that you may have missed any of the 13.8 million tweets about HBO’s hit fantasy series for this year so far.
Since the acclaimed epic fantasy series became a big hit among viewers and critics alike, fans of the show have been coming together every week on Twitter to talk about the crazy plot twists, the characters’ latest shocking actions, to share their own memes and gifs, and to live tweet with fellow fans.
To celebrate the much-awaited return of “Game of Thrones” on HBO, Twitter furnished InterAksyon with some of the social media milestones of the show’s past season.
In preparation for the long-awaited “winter,” Twitter has also visualized each “Game of Thrones” character as a snowflake, with their size and pattern determined by how much they were discussed on Twitter. A user just needs to click on each snowflake to see that character’s most talked about moment on Twitter.
