Warning: This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon episode eight
Recommended VideosMemes are out in force after what might be the biggest House of the Dragon episode to date and it’s a mix of emotions from fans as you’d expect.
Before we jump into all of the meme goodness, here is a warning that this article will be diving into all the events that took place during House of the Dragon episode eight so make sure you’re up to date first before you proceed.
In episode eight we started off with another time skip and now that the children of the Targaryen families are older things get even more heated. Throughout the episode, after we learn of the vacant throne of Driftwood, it seems all is doomed for Rhaenyra and her family, but later in the episode, we find out all relationships can be mended — even if they are set to fall about soon after.
Thanks to this episode full of deaths, tension, and prophecies, social media lit up with reactions and memes giving you a summary of how the community is feeling after seeing this story unfold.

It’s crazy how Alicent hated Rhaenyra for having consensual pre-marital sex while she’s routinely picking up after her rapist son and doling out plan-B teas. How she called the Targaryen customs “queer” yet forced her SON AND DAUGHTER TO MARRY EACH OTHER. #HouseOfthedragon pic.twitter.com/60Ln5JXAuL
