Robin Arryn Got a Major Glow-Up in the 'Game of Thrones' Finale
Warning: The following post contains spoilers for the Game of Thrones finale. If you don't want to know what happens, stop reading!
A key scene in last night's Game of Thrones series finale brought together the lords and ladies from every remaining noble house in Westeros-a reunion that meant bringing back some characters we haven't seen in a very long time. While fans were happy to see Yara Greyjoy again (if only for a moment), it might have taken them a moment to recognize the representative from the Vale.

It's Lord Robin Arryn, aka Sansa's creepy cousin. And he's gone through some changes. Robin was first introduced back in season one, when Catelyn Stark visited her sister Lysa at the Eyrie. In his first appearance, Robin is shown to still be breast-feeding, despite being a little older than the average breast-feeder.
Yeah, introducing solids really improved Robin Arryn.

This, paired with his troubled mother's over-protective indulgences, resulted in his character being depicted as sickly and delusional. His later appearances in the series seemed to confirm this, with petulant behavior that prompted Sansa to slap him. After his mother's death, Robin became the ward of his stepfather, Littlefinger, and honestly, if that's not a supervillain origin story we don't know what is.
Has anyone tweeted about how grownup Robin Arryn can bust open their Moon Door. That’s what this pervert website is for

But Robin seems to have thrived under the new guardianship of Lord Royce, one of Sansa's trusted advisers, who is also seen in the dragon pit scene. Sitting tall next to the other lords and ladies of Westeros, he shows none of his earlier traits, and along with everybody else, votes that his cousin, Bran Stark, be crowned as the new king of the n0w-six kingdoms, which includes his own domain, the Vale.

While Sansa once balked at the notion of marrying the creepy little lord, the internet is reacting quite differently to Sweetrobin's glow-up.

In a finale full of twists, seeing people lust over Robin Arryn was the least expected.
