This final season of Game of Thrones might be short, but there's certainly no shortage of content. Between the GoT subreddits, Instagram, Twitter, and Know Your Meme, we've been hit with a tsunami of tasty Westerosi content. Here's some more of that gold to keep you going until Sunday.

It's a bittersweet year for fans of HBO's Game of Thrones.The wildly popular fantasy saga, based on books penned by George R. R. Martin, is entering its eighth and final season. HBO dropped the official trailer for the climactic ending and, well, the people are freaking out. It's a dark two minute clip that packs a punch of dragons, ice, and a whole lot of death. Here's what everyone thinks.
Even though the Game Of Thrones TV series has finished coming out, it's diehard fan's love for it will never finish (and we still have another book to wait for!). So because we will never have enough of anything GOT, here are some true facts about the show that most of you won't know. And what facts they are! Not only will you be super surprised at some of them, you'll be the king/queen at the next GOT-themed trivia night you attend. Two birds, one stone.

Conan O'brien is on a post-Comic Con streak, here. Especially since he was able to gain access to George R. R. Martin's home camera system.
And lo, we all learn what keeps Mr. Martin busy while his characters remain in some sort of literary limbo.
That trampoline does look fun, though.

George RR Martin announced that he won't be attending San Diego Comic Con this year (as well as World Fantasy Con) because he's staying home to focus on writing Winds of Winter. Hear that? That's the sound of the bevy of "why isn't he writing?!" complaints you were going to hear during con season getting quashed in the background. GRRM did add however, that if he finishes the novel before the con (ha!) he reserves the right to change his mind and attend afterall.
Finally GRRM has his own personal Twitter account (the ones you've seen before were all parody accounts). @GRRMspeaking is the man himself, and fittingly, his first tweet was a plug for his LiveJournal, which still exist, surprisingly.
There was a problem rendering this tweet - it may have been deleted.

Leave it to the parody account to hit the nail on the head... knife in the stomach. Whatever.
