13+ Iconic Behind-The-Scenes Pics From The Set Of 'Game Of Thrones'

You sure can learn a lot about people if you look behind the scenes.

A lot of dates have gone well for me, then I get the Blu-Ray version of their life and BAM! Murderer.

Wanna know what's the most fun? Seeing behind the scenes.

Sure, we get to see our favorite Game Of Thrones actors and actresses when they're all serious and about to die and in character, but what happens after the cameras shut off?

Today, we're going to look at some of those behind the scenes moments

Giphy

Personally, I'm excited to see what the dragons are like on set. Do they hang out together, or do they do their own things? I hear Viserion is a real goof...

What a silly family.

I'm so happy they act like that on the show too! What's that? Oh yes, that's right, it's the complete opposite and they totally hate each other as of now.

Daenerys and Drogon, another silly family

Instagram | @emilia_clarke

What, you don't see the little guy? Well obviously he's just taking a break, Emilia Clarke is just practicing so she can hug him in real life. Because, obviously, the dragons are real.

"Da reel roadmans of Westeros"

Instagram | @sophiet

I love how goofy Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams are together in real life... then again, when you're on a show with someone for 8 years you can't help but get close. Can you say "friendship goals".

So much for King in The North

Instagram | @gameofthronel

Clearly, the man is not born of Winterfell, he can't even handle a little snow! Oh wait, he isn't... nevermind. Don't want to spoil anything for anyone still in Season 1.

That's more like it!

Instagram | @iamlenaheadey

Honestly, all the Lena Headey pictures are of her smiling, or laughing, or having fun in general and you have to ask: where's the Cersei? Here we get it in full force as Varys takes a picture of her almost without her knowledge.

Hear no, speak no and... oh Sansa, that's just in poor taste.

Instagram | @sibelkekilli

Look at these three kick butt ladies!

Lord knows why they're doing the "see, hear and speak no evil" poses at the beginning, but then again there probably aren't many three-person poses out there.

The Khal and his Khaleesi

Instagram | @emilia_clarke

Ahh, I miss Khal Drogo.

Oh well, at least he's off running Atlantis while everyone fights on land. Or is he trying to break the Hudson's Bay Company's monopoly on the fur trade in Canada?

Psh, TV stars. I can never keep track.

The mother of dragons with one of her babies!

Instagram | @gameofthronel

Or should I say practicing for one of her babies! I hear dragons are notoriously skittish, so you have to do a couple takes with green pillows before you get them in the actual shot.

Jamie Lannister: Kingslayer, Sister Lover... Clown?

Honestly, at first we couldn't see Jamie Lannister doing something so silly, then we saw his face at the end and who posted the video. Jamie would definitely do that for his sister... ew.

No hard feelings about being thrown in the Black Cells, right Septa U?

Instagram | @iamlenaheadey

"As long as you're cool about the fact I made you do that whole walk of atonement thing". Ahh, what beautiful memories. I'm glad these two are friends in real life.

Melisandre and Brienne of Tarth Face Swap

Instagram | @eavecaricealone

You know what, you learn something new every day. I, for one, had no idea they had Snapchat in Westeros.

Then again, this could be some form of dark magic.

Sophie Turner takes a nap

Instagram | @sophiet

Being the lady of Winterfell can obviously be very tiring... but don't worry Sophie, I've been there. I can't count the amount of times I've slept on the... yawn... ahem, excuse me a sec...

This too-adorable-to-handle shot of Maisie Williams' first day on set.

Instagram | @maisie_williams

She was so small in the first season! It's hard to believe this is the same little girl we've seen go on to perform gruesome murders. Sniff... They grow up so fast...

Knowledge isn't power. Wig caps are power.

Instagram | @iamlenaheadey

I've never really thought about what they have to do to hide Lena Headey's long hair for Cersei's little pixie cut. As the kids say, my wig is snatched! That IS what the kids say, right?

Hang tight, Night King. Hang tight.

Instagram | @vladimir_furdik_

This shot of Vladimir Furdik getting the special effects makeup done should probably make the Night King look less intimidating, but now he's scary AND cool, which is the most intimidating combination.

Even Khaleesi wants to avoid the rain.

Instagram | @emilia_clarke

This little bonnet to keep Emilia's wig dry makes her look more like the grandmother of dragons. The babushka of dragons. If she ever decides she needs more titles to add to her name, I've got her covered.

No matter how many times they try, this is what every Lannister family photo looks like.

Instagram | @peterdinklage

A classic case of sibling rivalry. If only Tyrion had tried this move a few seasons earlier, he could've saved Westeros a lot of trouble.

And THIS is what every Stark family photo looks like.

Instagram | @gameofthronesnotofficial

Who could've guessed what these two little kids would go through over the next eight years? Honestly, it's a little weird to see Bran standing up.

Oh, you know, just Oberyn and The Mountain about to take a little dip.

Instagram | @pascalispunk

To make myself feel better I like to pretend The Mountain isn't really that big in real life and it's all TV magic. I'm going to sc

At the end of the day, we all know who really sits on the Iron Throne.

Instagram | @peterdinklage

Daenarys might be the mother of dragons, but George R. R. Martin is the father of Game of Thrones, and that earns him his rightful place in this shot.

And so, our compilation of behind the scenes shots is complete.

Instagram | @daenerysstormbornkhaleesi

What did you like best? I thought it was cool, but I wish we got to see more of the dragons. Guess they're shy when it comes to... what's that?... Dragons don't exist and have never existed? Oh god! My life is a lie!
