Game of Thrones season 3 emoji recap exists because of course it does
Thankfully there are two kinds of dragon emoji
People really like Game of Thrones. People really like re-purposing smartphone emojis. Inevitably, this has led to the two colliding in an inspired recap of the HBO show in the run-up to season 4 that uses exclusively emoticons.

The low fantasy drama returns on Sunday, and if you're frantically trying to catch-up this might prove a swifter option than binge-watching hours of TV.
The video, pulled together by Cara Rose DeFabio, doesn't squeeze in every last plot point but covers the main events, including Jon Snow’s love affair with Ygritte, Daenerys Targaryen and her growing army and the infamous Red Wedding.
Once you're up to date (because obviously the Unicode set of emojis is just as good as the real thing, right) you can begin watching season 4 on Sunday night, when it airs on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK at the same time (2am BST).
There have been seemingly more trailers for the show than their are characters in it over the past couple of months, teasing much fire, vengeance and malice.
