Here’s one shock ending “Game of Thrones” fans never saw coming — Robin Arryn’s transformation into a sex symbol.
The once sickly looking, shaggy-haired Lord of the Vale, played by Lino Facioli, sent fans wild with his “glow up” into a hunk in Sunday night’s finale.
“The plot twist of the #GameOfThrones finale is realizing that I’d answer Robin Arryn’s 2am ‘u up?’ texts,” Jackie Fisher tweeted after Arryn’s scene where the leaders of Westeros chose their next leader.
Many joked about the powers of breast milk for “Sweet Robin,” who was initially seen almost constantly being breastfed by his mother, Catelyn Stark’s sister Lysa, despite being an older child.
“Like holy s–t his mama’s milk really worked lol,” Miya Guna wrote, while another fan named S. Woo said, “They can honestly use Robin Arryn’s glow up for an infomercial about the advantages of breastfeeding.”
Many fans also compared it to Neville Longbottom’s transformation from chubby-faced kid to chiseled stud in the “Harry Potter” movies.
“Robin Arryn straight up longbottomed us,” @mcoops wrote, while Mike Makowsky said, “That kid who played Robin Arryn Neville Longbottom’d HARD.”
Some, however, also saw it as a symbol of their disappointment at how the final season of the medieval TV sensation played out.
“We all deserved an ending to #GameofThrones as powerful as Robin Arryn’s glow up but we didn’t get that,” @kuyakollective tweeted.
