Stephen King tweets his 'Game of Thrones' ending prediction
Warning: Contains spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8.
There are many, many people out there making Game of Thrones ending predictions right now.
But if you're going to listen to any of them, surely a man who has authored around 60 novels and who is pals with George RR Martin is a good place to start?

On Monday, Stephen King — who has tweeted about Thrones in the past — posted his prediction for how the whole thing might end.
Suppose—just suppose, now—that Jon and Dani BOTH died (along with Cersei, of course). Suppose—just suppose—that a certain little man with a big heart ended up sitting on the Iron Throne?

He then posted the following caveat:
Of course for years some people have told me I don't know how to end a story. I call bullshit on that, but everyone has an opinion.

Soon, others were chipping in with their theories about different characters.
I’m thinking just maybe Sansa Stark might show up and Kill Cersei as she I feel has the most history and hate for this woman

That would be good, but man, Sansa is COLD. https://t.co/EjN69pUwYS

So, what do we think? Is King onto something?
As much as I absolutely love him, I'm not sure. For one, I don't think Tyrion will end up on the Iron Throne. I think, as Martin's self-confessed favourite character, Tyrion is likely to be killed off.
And as for both Jon and Daenerys dying? That seems more likely. But personally I think only one of them will — either Daenerys will be killed and Jon will be forced into the position of tragic ruler, or Jon will die and Daenerys will become the very thing she always longed to prevent: a tyrant.
Still, this is Game of Thrones we're talking about. As we learned during the Battle of Winterfell, anything can happen.
