Perhaps trying to capitalize on a viral post from the day before, some users jokingly posted photos of other red-haired actresses, pretending to have mistaken them for Turner. These dry pranks confused many commenters.

Some fans reached back much further to the early days of Game of Thrones, when Turner was brand new to the role of Sansa Stark. They said that they would forever associate her with this beloved character, even as she made new achievements.

Many fans posted homemade video tributes — or, "fan cams" — to Turner in honor of her birthday. Some were made specifically for her on-screen characters, particularly Sansa.

Finally, many fans hailed Turner as the Queen in the North, though it has been almost two years since she donned the customary bronze crown of the First Men. Turner will likely have this title for as long as she lives.
