House of the Dragon Memes Light Up the Internet

Stifle the pain of child death with laughter!

House of the Dragon is primed to be bleaker, meaner, and more depressing as the Dance of the Dragons marches on, but leave it to the internet to find hilarity in royal intrigue, politicking, and backstabbing. To be fair, the show itself is doing a good job of finding the levity. Alicent and Cole’s rom-com? Aegon and his Gossip Girl posse on the steps of the Met Iron Throne? Kicking off the new season with a little child murder on Father’s Day? Oh, how we’ve missed this. And, of course, Twitter (ugh, x.com) wasted no time in providing crucial reactions to the premiere episode last night. So we sorted the best memes and tweets (ugh, posts) by Team Green and Team Black (a.k.a. Team Mess and Team Serving Face).
