The 'Bran Stark Stare' meme originated from the final season of Game of Thrones, specifically when Bran Stark spent much of his time staring intensely and vacantly at other characters, most notably Jaime Lannister. The Three-Eyed Raven’s unblinking, knowing gaze became an instant hit on the internet, symbolizing moments of extreme awkwardness, silent judgment, or the feeling of being watched when you least expect it. It’s frequently used to represent social anxiety, seeing someone you’re avoiding in public, or that one friend who knows all your secrets but stays silent.
