Sophie Turner and Jonathan Van Ness shading that 'Game of Thrones' ending will make your day

So. Much. Screaming.

Before joining the cast of Queer Eye, Jonathan Van Ness was most famous for Funny Or Die web series Gay of Thrones. And before she was a Jonas Sister and hardcore Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello shipper, Sophie Turner was most famous for playing the Stark sibling with the best hair (fight me), Sansa, on Game Of Thrones.

And when the two met backstage at the MTV Video Music Awards, the mutual fan-out reached a pitch that can only be heard by child queens and direwolves.

If you're wearing earbuds, turn the volume down a little bit before you hit play on this. No, a little more.

Turner, spotting Van Ness, lurching towards him with both hands out like a perfectly coiffed zombie, at a pitch to shatter glass: "JONATHANVANNNESSSSSSSSS"

JVN, spinning out of her path with an expression of genuine horror and screeching subverbally: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

It's honestly hard to tell who's more excited -- or who's still more mad about the controversial final season of the epic series.

"So happy for your ending I was so relieved," Van Ness croons, leaning in for an audible stage whisper of "IT WAS THE ONLY ONE I COULD STOMACH."

"It's the only one I could stomach," Turner murmurs back -- a slightly different take on her previous defence of the ending.

The conversation then descends into confessions of mutual obsession, with Van Ness literally tearing up and then pivoting to complimenting her haircare brand partnerships before being introduced to Turner's husband Joe Jonas.

It's all very on brand for the Fab Five's most consistently extra member -- and the clip on Entertainment Tonight's Twitter account has been watched nearly 2 million times.

Did I tear up slightly the first time I watched this? I'll never tell. It's been a long year, OK? Shut up.
