So Season 6 of HBO’s Game of Thrones has come to an end, and you’re faced with the daunting task of needing to wait a whole year for Season 7 to drop. At least you don’t have to wait that whole year wondering if a certain someone is really dead like last time, and even better, you now have these extraordinarily cute GIFs based on the action of Season 6 to tide you over.

Created by Israeli artist Eran Mendel, the series of GIFs are Mendel’s own adorable summary of each of Season 6’s episodes, featuring almost completely unrecognisably cute appearances from such characters, and fan favourites, as Bran, Hodor, and even a White Walker.

You can witness some of the GoT cuteness below (possible spoiler warning), and see the full set via Mendel’s website here.

Of course, if you’re really wanting to take a nostalgic look back at the action of Season 6, the folks over at HBO have blessed fans of the mega-hit fantasy franchise with a blooper reel from production of the latest season, releasing it during their appearance at this year’s San Diego Comic Con.

And, of course, a Comic Con appearance by the cast and crew of Game of Thrones would not be complete without the release of a tantalising, if ever so brief, glimpse at what to expect from Season 7 when it hits screens next year. Which is basically the definition of both a blessing and a curse. Hurry up, 2017!
