No Way — The Names of the Stark Direwolves Totally Foreshadowed Where They'd All End Up

At the time of his death, Robb Stark is only 19 years old, yet he manages to rule as King in the North for a season and a half. Unfortunately, both Grey Wind and Robb Stark die at the Red Wedding in season three when the members of House Frey betray House Stark, making his time as king sadly short-lived and not nearly as memorable as his death, like a gust of wind just passing through. "Wind comes quickly and wind leaves quickly," the Reddit theory continues. "Robb came out of nowhere and surprised the Seven Kingdoms by being declared King of the North despite being a kid. In a short period of time, he won major battles and victories. And then, soon after it started, it all ended just as quickly at the Red Wedding."

From the very beginning, Sansa has been the only Stark sister willing to fulfil her social duties as a lady, while also standing out as a fearless and relatively level-headed leader. Though she goes through hell and back to get what she wants, Sansa eventually earns her status as Lady of Winterfell. In the show's final episode, Sansa, who has insisted that Winterfell remain an independent kingdom, is finally crowned the Queen of Winterfell, confirming our suspicions that she was meant to be more than a lady all along.

Winter is a huge theme in the Game of Thrones world, with character after character warning one another of its impending doom and destruction. Reddit user www_earthlings_com points out that, when winter finally does arrive, everyone realises that Daenerys has become the Mad Queen, and having her rule Westeros would only exacerbate all of the problems that winter has brought along with the cold. Bran, however, is chosen to rule over the Seven Kingdoms, marking a turnaround in the show's story line that falls in line with the end of winter in all senses of the word. While Summer the direwolf was killed by wights at the start of winter in Westeros, it certainly looks like his name was a clue that Bran would make it through Winter all along.

Last but not least, Rickon's direwolf Shaggydog has a peculiar name that doesn't really lend itself to any sort of foreshadowing at first glace. When I see "Shaggydog," I think of a big, fluffy mutt that deserves lots of ear scratches. But huge shout out to Reddit user jjwok who pointed out that a shaggy dog story is actually the phrase used to describe a story that rambles on, only to end pointlessly. While some viewers would say as much about all of season eight, Rickon's story, in particular, was a shaggy dog story in that it was drawn out for six seasons with little to no character development (and very few actual lines!), only for Ramsay Bolton to shoot him down with an arrow as revenge towards Jon Snow.
