When you think about death on Game of Thrones, you probably don't immediately feel warm and fuzzy. Yet, here we are.

Fans were shocked when the lovable Hodor met his violent end on the series while protecting Bran from the White Walkers. And while you'll never be able to hug a fictional character, take some comfort in the man who brought Hodor to life, actor and DJ Kristian Nairn, being a big old softie on Twitter.

Nairn also gave a shout out to Sam Coleman, the actor behind young Hodor, who previously paid respects to his future fictional self. 


Nairn also discussed Hodor's fate on After the Thrones, saying, "It feels very true to Hodor for me."

Bonus: Sad George Martin
