If you haven’t watched the episode, why are you reading random articles about Game of Thrones? Do you want to die? Clearly there are spoilers.

Anyway, if you HAVE watched it, you’ll be aware that the episode led up to one climactic moment — when our queen Arya Stark flew through the air like a graceful yet deadly gazelle and stabbed up the Night King a treat.

However, it’s the badass method of stabbing that people are replaying over and over again.

First, she gets snatched out of the air like a wet cat, and it seems like her bold gambit has failed. In only a second, her throat will be crushed to death by the cold implacable hands of the Night King. But then! She drops her dagger, and in a move foreshadowed in a much earlier episode when she’s sparring with Brienne, she catches the dagger with her other hand and did a big stab! A huge stab!

What do we say to the god of death? Eat knife, bitch.

So, in homage of that brilliant move, people online are attempting to replicate the move… with various success. I love the internet.
