A Second Secret that Hodor could never tell anyone

Hodor had a secret. But he never got to tell anyone, because he could only say one word. Hodor.

It’s not the Hold the door thing. It’s something much bigger. We learned about it in Bran’s second to last chapter in the books. When they fight their way up to the cave. It’s subtle though, so I never caught it, until today.

He wondered what Meera would think if he should suddenly tell her that he loved her. (ADWD, Bran II)

Does Hodor love Meera? Or was that Bran thinking about love? And if Hodor loved her, did he adopt that love since from Bran after being warged? Or Did Hodor love her all along?

Aren’t knights helped into armor as well? Would hodor have helped Lyanna into her armor?

Kev you've made Hodor's sacrifice even more heartbreaking. He'd lived his life for the destiny to save the woman he loved... I'm not crying.

[tylersherwood]

But didn’t bran warg into child hodor? So he could have transferred his feelings about meera to hodor years before meera was born.

[JamesTorquay]

Also if you're to believe this theory to be true, Meera being the one who said "hold the door". Hodor spent most of his life only being able to repeat the last words he heard from the woman he loved.

Turns out I wasn't emotionally ready for this video. :(

[deladrin.]

Which is why it was important that Meera was the one to actually say “hold the door”...because he loved her. He wasn’t about to let those things tear apart the woman he loved. And THAT made me choke up all over again. Smh. Thx for that! Lol ❤️

You are missing the time Travel Worg. Where hodor at the time of his death scarred hodor as a child. At that time he could of been influenced by Brans imprinted love for Mira as a child. Explaining why is so excited to see her in the beginning. He remembered his love for her form when he was mentally damaged by the timetravel worging. Hodors love for Mira is Brans love for Mira handed through time. A forever loop of loving her and dieing for her.

Bummer and Brodor, sounds like such a good buddy comedy

[Overlordough]

That...would actually make the “Hold the Door” thing so much more logical, and even more meaningful. Instead of it just being Bran’s warging like in the show, it could also be his love for Meera...or maybe *thats* why he holds the door! All for his love of Meera, going to that exact moment, a moment he has been preparing for and become so obsessed with that all he can say is what he will do for his love.
“Hold the door” for her...shit, now I wan’t that to be real...you think G.R.R.M. just looks at all the theories and is like, “Ohh! I’mma use that!” Be a hell of a lot easier.

This might explain "Mad King Aerys" madness, if King Aerys warged into an unknown dragon that still existed in a far off place than his "burn them all!" would be the dragon in him wanting to kill everyone by burning them, King Aerys might have gone mad because he didn't realize the dragon was in him, this is from his history

"Although his rule began benevolently, he succumbed to madness"

anyone else agree with this?

[AdamOfEverywhere]

"Hey guys Bridge4 here today to make you feel even worse about Hodor's death"

great vid tho

[leoli]

the "Bummer" thing just killed me, did not see it coming

[chrisb__]

This actually made me wonder what the cost is for worging too much. Is it like Voldemort, where if you give your soul in bits and pieces - to things that will die before you - are you destined to die in pieces? Is Bran destined to be more and more detached because with each use of his power he expends a bit more of his soul/humanity?
How much of Bran died with Hodor?

....this is waaay too deep for me, which way to the shallow end of the pool?

[in_vas_por]

I laughed at "Bummer", grinned at "Rickydog", then absolutely lost it at "Brodor" lmfao

[CyclopsToppingWolverine]

1:29 quality picture choice for Lady. I laughed, all the others are so serious.

[TheJustAamir]

He kept repeating her words "Hold the Door" his entire life!

[ahmadumar]

Most of the theory channels post stuff like " Is (add name) secretly a Targaryen ?". Like, every theory is about someone being a Targaryen.

But this channel does put a smile on my face. Great theories with very great evidence to back it up. Gg my dude Kev.

[pilgrimwanderer]

Here's the cream on that cake. The only word Hodor has every said is the truncated repetition of the words of his love Meera: Hold the door.

[DontknowhatImdoingbutitsfun]

The first few seconds made me think you were going to speak Hodor the entire video.

[youtubeuser]

It wasn't just loyalty it was for love.

[andrewb]

If this is so, it makes his sacrifice even more meaningful! He did it fir the love of them both.
