Is the theme song awesome or what?
As die-hard Game of Thrones (GOT) fans, getting a taste of life in Westeros is the dream. Since that’s basically impossible, you thought you’ll never get a taste of GOT. But it turns out, you have been living with some of the most prominent characters all along.
Minusing the gorgeous looks and amazing costumes, there are actually more similarities between Queen Cersei and that ambitious friend of yours than you realised. Listed below are seven GOT friends that you have but didn’t really notice. So yes, Westeros is actually nearer than you think.
1. Joffrey Baratheon – The B(a)rat
No matter what you do or say, nothing will satisfy his Highness. From deciding where to eat, to picking out a group activity, this ex-ruler of the Seven Kingdoms will object to all options and expect you to come up with a better one. Instead of poisoning this friend of yours, consider y’know, talking things out.
2. Khal Drogo – The Gym Rat
He’s big, he’s strong and he’s silent. You don’t know much about this guy. In fact, the only thing you’re certain about is that he spends most of his time in the gym and his favourite drink is a protein shake. He may be fiercely loyal, but you wouldn’t risk ruffling his muscles feathers. Ever.
3. Daenerys Targaryen – The One With The Complicated Name
Ahh yes, Daenerys Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men and oh my god we’re not even half way there.
Similar to the Mother of Dragons, we all have that one friend whose name is either overly long, tough to pronounce, or both. Remember that friend called Amethyst? How about Persephone? Or Dante Ignatius Lee? (yes these are actual names). C’mon guys, what’s wrong names like Tom, Mary or Jane?
4. Jon Snow – The One Who Knows Nothing

Everybody’s got that one friend who has absolutely no clue as to what is happening. Be it being kept in the dark or getting stabbed in the back (or front), you sometimes have no idea how they make it in this world. Sometimes it’s better to keep them safe behind the Wall.
5. Tyrion Lannister – The Smart Ass

He may not look like much, but this guy won’t need to lift a finger to take you down. Equipped with a brilliant mind, this unassuming character never ceases to surprise and amuse you with his quick wit. However, with his ability to impress girls and your professors or bosses, his gift of gab will have you resent him just a little.
6. Cersei Lannister – The Ambitious One
Be it at school or work, you’ve seen her taking out her opponents and are glad to have never been on the opposing side of her. Yet. Despite being surrounded by an air of confidence, this girl friend of yours is self-centred and irrational (remember that time she got a B+ for her paper and she tore it into half?). But don’t make her go through the walk of shame because once she composes herself, you won’t know what’s going to hit you.
7. Hodor – The Chubby Teddy
Basically the optimist in the group, this friend of yours is contented with the basic things in life. Despite his large size, he is a gentle soul. Reliable and a great confidant, this friend is much like the teddy you used to have, only better.
So there you have it, your seven GOT friends. Bet you didn’t really notice it till we put it together eh? Looks like Jon Snow isn’t the only one who knows nothing, hur hur.
