SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t caught up to Game of Thrones’ season five finale, just don’t read this post. At all. Any of it.
Much of the Game of Thrones fandom is still reeling from Sunday night’s season finale — even now, after five seasons of blood and gratuitous sex, the death of a main character still somehow comes as a shock.
While no amount of blood magic will bring back long-dead Ned Stark or even Joffrey — though not sure why anyone would want to revive the latter — YOU can bring these characters to life another way!
No, not in the way the White Walkers bring the dead to life, but online. Dolldivine.com created a Game of Thrones game, so users can create their own versions of the series’ characters.
This might seem a bit juvenile, but hey, everyone copes with grief different ways. Besides, if you have FOMO of Westeros, you can even take a quiz that places you into one of the family houses and design your look based on that, or even create scenes with multiple characters to make your favorite fan fictions or theories a reality.
Lyanna Stark, Rhaegar Targaryen and their son — probably — Jon Snow.
Unfortunately, the game has not been updated since about season three, so the hairstyles are a bit off, and some outfits lack variety.
Regardless, it can be a good waste of an hour or three, as users can pick skin tone, facial features, hair color and style and an assortment of clothing and accessories for their characters.
Diamondback Diversions asked some of its staff members to create some scenes, and here’s what they came up with.
The Stannis Baratheon/Melisandre alliance
Tyrion Lannister and his now-dead prostitute/girlfriend, Shae (RIP)
Cersei and Ser Jaime “Kingslayer” Lannister
More incest, this time with Robb Stark and his half brother Jon Snow (RIPx2)
A fantasy of Robb exacting revenge on Petyr Baelish from beyond the grave,
“Mychal Eratheon”
**bonus points if you can guess which DBKDiversions staff member created this one**
