*Warning: Game of Thrones spoilers ahead!

HBO

On Twitter, there's no limit to how crazy your fan theory can be.




Meanwhile, many people were trying to get a good look at Dany's eyes to see whether she matches up with another foreboding prophesy...

No matter what happens in the series finale, Arya's horse will live on in our hearts as the real star of the show.
