Spoilers, y'all. Don't act like I didn't tell you.

The greatest love story in Westeros has only grown in strength past its meet-cute.

Yes, Tormund Giantsbane and Brienne of Tarth have not yet had their love fully realized, but that has not stopped the internet from flipping out every time that the red bearded member of the Freefolk lifts his eyebrow when talking about his tall knight in shining armor.

Tormund got another chance to fuel fans' fire Sunday while walking north of the wall in search of a wintry zombie to take back to Cersei. There, Tormund was only too glad to talk about Brienne, his belief that sexuality is a spectrum, and the hope that the mis-matched pair can have large, ginger babies.

The Hound didn't seem too into it, but it was enough to make the internet freak the f*ck out.

The prevailing wisdom was to get you a guy who looks at you like Tormund looks at Brienne. And we really can't disagree.
