    Prepare to feel all the feels

    There are just 13 hours until the last series of Game of Thrones is complete (we know!), and we are all getting emotional at the latest fan creation that depicts Jon Snow's entire tragic backstory.

    *SPOILER* If you haven't finished off season 6 yet, look away now...

    Seriously.

    Well, you were warned. It's really no secret that Game of Thrones fans are some of the most dedicated out there. They regularly come up with seriously in-depth theories and videos about the show's storylines, and this latest addition is no different.

    After the big reveal, YouTube user 'hurleybird' uploaded this video, which pulled together every bit of information we've ever been given about Jon Snow that fuelled one of the most popular Game of Thrones fan theories

    Game of Thrones is officially over - just what are we supposed to do with our free time after that?
