Survival Guide for Those who Don't Watch Game of Thrones

How often do you hear the phrase, for example at work, "Do you know which series you should watch? "Game of Thrones"!"? Probably more often than we would like. Yes, we understand, the series breaks all records, it is a phenomenon of the film industry and so on. But there are still people in this world who haven't watched it. Don't ask why, they just don't want to.

But a new, seventh season is coming. And on July 16, with the release of the first series, general insanity will begin again and people will no longer have any topics to discuss. No.

It's time to prepare those unfortunate people who have not succumbed to world hysteria: someone may simply not like fantasy or murder, rape and torture, the inability to get used to any hero, because he is immediately killed. So, a few life hacks on how to keep the conversation going, even if you haven't seen a single episode of Game of Thrones.

Say that your favorite character is a dragon

The dragon is a win—win option, you don't have to know a lot about it. It's a dragon, what kind of storylines and backstory can there be. The interlocutors will immediately leave you alone.

You can get acquainted with a single character and reduce all conversations to him

Just choose anyone and direct absolutely all conversations to him. Even if this character has not been born or died before the scene that your friends are discussing, still get involved with this hero. In the end, your interlocutors will either be confused or will be too annoyed to continue the conversation. And that's all we need.

Cover your ears with your hands and yell with all your might: "Spoilers! I haven't seen the new series yet!"

Fans of "Game of Thrones" respect the spoiler rule, perhaps the most. If you utter a secret phrase, they will discuss it in a whisper or simply stop talking about it. In any case, you win.

Screw Harry Potter into the conversation

They're similar, right? Or not? It seems to be fantasy too, similar characters, sorcerers there, dragons. No one will notice, for sure.

If you don't know anything about Harry Potter either, I'm sorry, we can't help you.

Repeat the phrase "I can't believe this character died"

As far as we understand, all the characters in the series die a terrible death. Something to do with the Red Wedding and rivers of blood. It seems to us that far from one hero breathed his last breath there.

And if suddenly you didn't get there and the hero is still alive (which is unlikely), then keep a pause, pretending that you remember the name. Your friends will most likely tell you who you had in mind. And you will say with sadness: "Yes, he is. What a pity he was killed." The crisis has passed.

Constantly repeat: "Winter is coming"

It looks like this winter will never come, so the option is also correct.

If none of the tips helped you, just say that you love Jon Snow and that he doesn't know anything. Everyone seems to love him.
