HBOWhile we all sit here in denial about what happened on Sunday night's Game of Thrones finale (Whyyyyyy?!). We can't help but wonder what Bran and Rickon Stark have been up while George R.R. Martin was off ruining our lives.
Oh yeah! Remember them?! A lot of time has passed since we last saw the young Stark boys, and when/if we see the two in season six, they will not look the way we all remember. Why?
Because puberty.
As we all are painfully aware, just like no one is safe in Westeros, no one is safe from getting older in the real world.
Check out our friend Bran, played by Isaac Hempstead Wright.
When you think of Bran, you think of that terrible time the adorable, sweet little boy was pushed out of the window and lost the use of his legs (and his dream of being a knight) .
Fast forward: We know that magical things are in this kid's future…just like adolescence (which isn't that magical).
The short kid with the bowl cut has grown several inches and his matured.
We sure hope his direwolf, Summer, recognizes him!
Now, on to Rickon, who is played by Art Parkinson.
It's seems as if Rickon has been gone from the show as long as it's taking winter to come. We last saw him with Osha in season three (and you may have most recently seen Parkinson in this summer's blockbuster hit San Andreas).
Like Bran, Rickon couldn't hide from puberty either, and well, to be honest, he could pretty much come back as a brand-new character (plot twist?!).
We'll just keep adding to the list of questions we have about next season.
