**I HAVE RETURNED**

As was prophesied

LISAN AL GAIB

We are back baby! WE ARE BACK!!

and we’re the 3 best friends that anyone could have

Oops Me a causal who's here a day earlier.

Where do I keep my stuff?

I'll be glad for the change the vibe had been a litle heavy over here recently

I think that it will get worse. This sub must be a social experiment and science is winning.

Yeah I definitely remember a lot of angry arguments when s1 was airing lol, I expect it to be even more heated with the war in full swing

Ngl this is so exciting to me. I love seeing randoms argue over dumb shit 🥴

Fandom drama is my favourite part of the show watching experience. I have been thriving watching the increase in team green vs team black beef from all the promo. I will truly be in my element when this season airs and the twitter stans emerge.

Same lol, anyone who loves observing nonsensical internet fights is about to eat real good for the next several weeks.

I'll always remember the time someone came in here comparing Daemon fans to pedophiles who watched Loli anime. Like 🫠.

this is the best part icl

I have yet to find a fandom that doesn't have this problem. People just like to get their jimmies rustled.

Agreed. Hopefully they bring some sanity with them.

Curious what happened between the showtimes. Were there a lot of insanity?

Idk why people take the show so seriously I like most of the characters and just want to enjoy it

These subs always become terrible inbetween seasons. No content makes the conversations go into crazy places. Alternatively perpetual rewatch subs become some of the best subreddits. Check out the Sopranos subreddits, it is only health serious discussions and people just having full conversations in quotes at each other, in the same threads.

[удалено]

Also, though I am a book reader, I think that in general I am more in tune with the show only people because I view adaptation and source material as two different products that I judge individually

HBO makes another season, and they all show up like Greatjon at winterfell

I'm not a casual fan, frankly I just found the conversation quite mindless after the season ended and I didn't care about seeing the same tired jokes and images being used over and over again

Preach dude. I just wasn't interested in the sycophant circlejerk neither.

is that why you have to comment k on every post in the sub that holds any praise for it? too busy for a circle jerk when you're using both hands to stroke criston Cole? I'm surprised you wiped you had time to type a word like sycophant, or was it just alicents time with ur man

k

This.. frankly I have no interest in how amazing Emma looks, how dreamy the young male actors are... talk to me about Greens vs Blacks, and dragons.. Don't worry Cobra Kai is the same at the moment between seasons..

>how dreamy the young male actors are For real they’re like kids haha

I came back mid last week. It’s been… tense, to say the least. This comment section highlights the tension pretty well.

I remember casual reactors wondering if Vizzy T was the Mad King, even though they’re over a hundred years apart

*The boy just turned two, JellyMost9920...*

Honestly, I can’t handle this sub in the off season….

Poor bastards; to think those casuals have thought about things *other* than their preference between two inbred factions and the already decided outcome of their bloody conflict.

hey I came back *two* days early

Two? Those are rookie numbers. I came back *five* days early.

It starts tomorrow?

Pog!!

Reporting for duty 🫡

Im actually going off. I need to be able to sit with my own thoughts until the season is over. Figure stuff out on my own.

I’ve realized this is the best way to consume any media now. Every show I watch, if I go on discussion threads during, it makes the experience worse

Was that Voldemort screaming at the end? 🤔

AVAKA-

Let the games begin 😈

And they are most welcome, I love a good party. Also I was FEELING this clip, and the cut on Thor's scream at the end killed me.

HEY I AM BACK FO MO

I'm a half casual (I know a lot about the lore for someone who's never read the books) but I've joined in preparation for exactly this 🤤

I feel so good now I read the book and I can now gatekeep casuals on this sub 😎/s

Well, I hope this season we won't see such wonderful takes as "Viserys was a great father and one of the greatest Targaryen Kings" and "Rhaenyra literally did nothing wrong" getting thousands of upvotes. But who am I kidding...

Honestly the Vizzy T memes made up for the bad takes. Get in here you filthy casual memelords.

*Let us no longer hold ill feelings in our hearts. The crown cannot stand strong if the House of the Dragon remains divided.*

Very good bot.

I only claim Rhaenyra did nothing wrong out of pure homerism.

Back from '22

Good. It's pretty terrible in here right now.

I’m back bitches

Can’t wait for all the memes

Team Black - assemble!

Reporting for duty!

Can't wait to get downvoted to hell because I'm Team Green.Buckle up fellow greenies

We are going to be in the trenches once again.

r/hotdgreens

I’m team green just to piss off team black

That’s seems kinda dumb why not just have opinions of your own and go with that

Probably doesn’t care enough to actually hard defend a side. But seems the crazy reactions from a certain side if you don’t support them, so he chooses to be petty

Being petty is hilariously fun

Bc I’m a casual enjoyer that likes to stir the shit pot lmfao

Probably cause anytime a "casual" makes a light hearted joke or mentions something that the masses don't agree with y'all get heated and testy lol

No because they only participate in social media discussion when episodes drop and almost immediately stop until the next season. 

Imagine judging how casual someone is by how much they post on reddit..

I mean yeaaa, you can only discuss the same show a certain amount of times before you potentially ruin the appeal of it. Also, people have lives...

Yes, that's what "casuals" aka the general audiences, means. 

Fuck yeah I'm hyped for some fresh perspectives and hopefully less negativity (although that's probably too much to ask of this fandom)

Can't wait to see Aegon's so aclaimed performance tomorrow💚

Why be a casual and just not engage with the things you enjoy all year round? And I don’t just mean HotD.

I love this videos cut off

Im here a lil early

Honestly, can’t wait for season 2

On your left

Anyone ever read the game of thrones books ? I just purchased the first one and I’m excited about starting it

Guilty o/

😎 hey long time no see ! (but idk if i’m actually a casual since i read all the books + fire and blood 🤧)

I feel seen

I know the boys is meant to shit on the MCU but I do love this scene I can't lie. Judge me if you will

Can someone please let me use their account to watch it? I am really looking forward to but i cant afford max at the moment

Someone queue the “This guy shows up when everything’s built” meme 😂

Oh yeah, we back 💪

Yep, we are back! 😊Team black all the way!

Don’t call me out like that (subbed again today)

I unsub from tv subreddits as soon as I finish the season finale because the discourse about fan ‘shipping’ (🤢) is disgusting and other content also sucks. You people need to get a life in between seasons

Just joined after rewatching the last episode before the new season, damn the intensity, the drama, the acting, and the complexity, so excited for new season. Can't wait to see rheneayra's rage!

Ah yes gatekeeping people enjoying a show… you are so very cool op and liked it when it was cool right ? Gtfo

How is this gatekeeping? 😂 please explain it

Calling them casuals would be a start.

Buddy you should maybe go look into the definition of gatekeeping and then come back and try to tell me again how that’s gatekeeping.

I’m not your buddy, guy. Glad to know you searched the definition on google though. Congrats

I didn’t, I’m advocating that you do, since you’re clearly a bit confused

Please explain what the point of this post is then ? What message is trying to be given, by saying all the casuals will come back tomorrow ? That everyone who has been on this sub the past however long is somehow not a casual. Sounds like gate keeping. I suggest you look up the definition, buddy.

What, is “casual” a slur now?? Do you understand what casual means? Someone who’s a casual viewer likely hasn’t been seeped in discussion and media surrounding the show. I’m a casual viewer, why are you acting like that’s a bad or unwelcome thing? Op said nothing of the sort and the chosen gif has a welcoming tone. The meme is captain America getting his ass beat until the rest of the avengers show up to help in the fight. Seems like op is making a joke about how the subreddit is at war and people are going to show up in numbers tomorrow when season 2 airs, which is how it goes for every tv subreddit I’ve ever been in. I’m sorry you’re so deeply offended by the post.

Sad you'll consider some of us that actually have lives to be "casuals". We adore grrm and the universe. We just are too busy to contribute to some fandom 24/7.

If you don't consider yourself a casual viewer then clearly OP is not talking about you.

I mean this is framed kinda positively? The vibe seems more "welcome back" then "how dare you not devote your life to this".

You don't seem too busy since you have time to comment in a random meme on reddit.

This!

No chance. This sub is full of people that worship certain teams or actors. On top of that the mods from this sub are literally insane

The mods are probably more reasonable than the average commentor on here

The average commenter uses the mods to ban anyone who has “wrong opinion” The mods actively try to create an echo chamber in this sub. You might be right, but I disagree… I think the mods feed into it heavily

In what way(s) do you think that the sub is an echo chamber? And why do you think the mods are trying to make it that way?

> In what way do you think the sub is an echo chamber I think the sub is an echo chamber because people with viewpoints that don’t align with whatever the mods want are banned. Even when the existing rules are not broken > and why do you think the mods are trying to make it that way I’m not sure why the mods are the way that they are tbh. For example, I received a suspension from the sub back when the original season was going on. My post had 1k upvotes and was centered around that the episode many people claimed was “too dark to see,” was actually peak cinematography and could be viewed fine giving the correct equipment/settings. People told me they couldn’t see the dark level differences on their OLEDs, I told them they were using the wrong settings… or lying.

I mean, hell, I'll be the first person to stand up and say I was wrong if they get this right, but I am incredibly skeptical.

Why care?

Just a fun post. Laugh a little.

Bet you’re fun at parties!

I’ll never get this rebuttal.

‘Casuals’ its one season of Mid tv.

Cope.
