[Warning: The following contains spoilers for the series finale episode of Game of Thrones.]
There are lots of advantages of watching a movie or TV series that takes 10 years to get from start to finish, but the biggest one, no doubt, is the surprise stud that comes out of nowhere. For Harry Potter, it was Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis), who started out as quite possibly the most awkward 11-year-old kid in Gryffindor but by the end had us asking for Gryffin-more. Weirdly enough,the Game of Thrones series finale gave us a similar phenomenon with Robin Arryn (Lino Facioli).
In Season 1, we got a quick look at Robin as he sat on his mother’s lap in the Eyrie, still drinking straight from the breast as a nearly-adolescent boy. Yikes. In later seasons, Game of Thrones did its best to depict Robin as a gangly, slightly-sickly looking kid who was easily malleable and, frankly, a little off-putting. The Game of Thrones series finale, however, pulled a fast one by reintroducing Robin Arryn at the council to determine justice for Tyrion Lannister (and ultimately appoint a new king or queen) as a seriously hot Lord of Westeros, who can totally get it. Talk about a glow-up!
Twitter had a similar reaction upon noticing “Hot Robin Arryn,” and the thirst tweets were real.
