Outside of the massive army of White Walkers just beyond the Wall, leaks seem to be the biggest plague on this season of Game of Thrones. The latest occurred when HBO Spain accidentally aired episode six of this shortened season (the penultimate episodes tend to be huge on Game of Thrones) days before it was supposed to air, with the episode in torrent and GIF form flooding social media because people are jerks. Seriously, a**hole in my Twitter timeline, I hope you end up in Seven Hells.
Anyway, in response to the latest round of spoilers, Twitter users created #FakeGameOfThronesSpoilers to make light of the unfortunate situation. Some of them are so amazing that you might wish a few were canon.

The dragons are just dressed up kittens.
Sadly Khaleesi is just the mother of dressed up kittens.

Whether it’s your frustration over the drop off in quality writing and consistent character development or the fact that they’ve killed off your favorites, sometimes the pain inflicted by Game of Thrones can only be met with a joke.

So, if you’re one of those jags spreading the oh-so-telling GIFs online, knock it off. The rest of you, let your fanfiction fueled minds run wild and create the fake spoilers of your dreams. Honestly, the writers may use it next season.
