HBOIf you're anything like us, you still haven't processed what went down in the brutal, life-ruining, heartbreaking fifth season finale of Game of Thrones. Warning, spoilers ahead!
Arya's blind. Cersei atoned for her sins. And people died. In fact, lots of people died. One of those people was sweet angel Jon Freakin' Snow, who was stabbed by his own Night's Watch brethren after being declared a traitor for trusting the Wildlings.
While we've still got some desperate hope that Jon's death is a fakeout, Kit Harington claims he's done on the show and he certainly didn't look very alive there at the end, bleeding on the ground with multiple stab wounds.
We were crying, the Internet was crying, and Twitter was ablaze in 140 character sobs as it became even clearer than ever before that no one and nothing is safe—not even our fragile hearts.
Reactions ranged from the sensible:

To the extra dramatic:
If you need me, I'll be at home, shrouded in grief and misery and covered in the ashes of my TV. #gameofthrones #destroyerofallthingsgood
? Jani Bowe (@janibowe) June 15, 2015To pretty much anything and everything in between:
I got it! #GameofThrones is a story telling experiment to see if they can get all the fans to root for the White Walkers to kill everyone.

We will get through this together. We will perservere. And we will be back next season to torture ourselves yet again.
