"It should have been you"
I did some sketches for book scenes, and for this one I would like to redo the composition. Here's the first try not to lose it in the archive 💙
People: "omgg Catelyn was such an evil bitch if she was so hurt at Ned she should have taken it out on him instead of Jon who did nothing wrong!"
Westerosi noble husbands who have full legal and social control of their household (including their wife) if their wife ever attempts to "take something out on them":
Jon was not afraid of death, but he did not want to die like that, trussed and bound and beheaded like a common brigand. If he must perish, let it be with a sword in his hand, fighting his father’s killers. He was no true Stark, had never been one…but he could die like one. (Jon IX, A Game of Thrones)
...............the jon snowery of it all.........
Is my smile too sharp, or just my teeth? Answer: Come a little closer.
RE: jon's legitimacy in regards to the IT vs the books and the show. While him being a legitimate son would certainly give him more legitimacy, doesn't Westerosi law of succession indicate that Jon would still have a stronger claim over Dany due to him being Rhaegar's son? My knee jerk reaction is that he would, because at the end of the day, he's Rhaegar's son. And in the show, he's Rhaegar's only living son.
And this doesn't even factor Aegon. When Aegon is put into the equation, I can easily see that George might never give us an answer to the question of "is this really Aegon?" Because when you think about it, the real issue is if the people of Westeros and of KL will believe that Aegon is Elia and Rhaegar's son or not. (Answer: they will). But since the power will be in the hands of the people, I can see George hiding the truth. Because then he'll be able to show us that if the people believe that Aegon is Elia and Rhaegar's son and Aegon proves that he'll be a good ruler, then does the truth really matter?
And that's a good question when you think about it.
At this point, I regard book!Jon (canon Jon), and show!Jon as two different characters. And in all honesty, show!Jon (and show!Jon only), was not a good king during his very short tenure as KITN. He used it as a means to an end to "fight the dead" (/insert eyeroll here).
I'll be more inclined to believe that show!Jon is a good ruler if Kit pushes through a very belated showing of Jon actually governing at the Wall during the course of the show. Aka, a belated arc of Jon doing the politicking he does in ADWD.
(in reference to this ask)
fandom confession, i actually thought jon/dany was like. SO boring.
YOU AREN'T THE ONLY ONE! It was almost too predictable, and too much fairytale like. Also, the lack of chemistry between the actors didn't help. Jon always looked constipated around Dany like dude was standing here 🧍🏻and stared at her like a dead fish. He looked like he wanted nothing else but being somewhere else. You didn't believe in their love story!
I keep hearing stories about you, bastard. The way people in the North talk about you, you’re the greatest swordsman who ever walked. Maybe you are that good. Maybe not.
characters who dig themselves out of their graves (whether literal or metaphorical) are at the top of the list. nothing beats a character who should have died but didn't and comes back to haunt their own life and the world around them, benevolent or violent it doesn't matter, it's enthralling either way
so often that he could almost see her face.
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.
catelyn throwing her blanket off her with ned’s cum still running down her legs in front of maester luwin vs Jon being ass naked dripping wet in front of alliser thorne, othell yarwyck and bowen marsh STOP calling each other names! neither of you have any fucking decorum
started the asoiaf series. why were jon and tyrion literally in the trauma olympics
