Jon Snow - Blog Posts

born to marry him, forced to read fanfics about him

It's time for a redraw! I still love the starlings and my joy is see them smiling.

(Click for better quality)

canon divergence stark family. they all lived, they're all happy, no one hates no one (not saying WHO *cough* catelyn *cough*) and it's the year 305 AC (seven years later) so there's two more kids.

so:

robb, aged 21, bran aged 15 and rickon aged 10 (he's a large bulky kid)

jon snow, aged 21

sansa aged 18 and arya aged 16 (she had a growth spurt at 14)

edwyn, oc, aged 5/6. he's a twin

harwyn, oc, aged 5/6. he's edwyn's twin

ned aged 42, catelyn aged 41. cat MIGHT be pregnant in this again

working on a “they all lived” stark artwork set 7 years later. jon is not part of the night’s watch. it’s actually lowkey set in a canon divergence fic i’m writing. ANYWAY. there’s two more starks and a third one on the way cause… cat really likes having lots of kids and having sex with her husband

sO

this is jon, he’s 21 and look! he’s not miserable!

this is robb, he’s also 21

these are sansa and arya, they’re respectively 18 and 16 (arya had a growth spurt)

this is bran, aged 15 <3

this is rickon, aged 10 (he’s very stocky and tall for his age)

thIS is harwyn, an oc. he’s 5/6 years old. he’s a very happy kid with auburn hair and blue eyes like his mother

this is edwyn, harwyn’s brooding twin. he has the stark looks and hair colour but his mother’s hair texture and freckles.

and these are ned and catelyn, aged 42 and 41 respectively

I just wanted them to be happy together

I met your Tumblr recently and I'm really enjoying your drawings. If you're not asking too much, I would like you to draw Arya Stark winning Jon's Needle in AGOT or Ned and Arya at any time. 😊😘

She looked at the blade in her hand. “Does this have a name? Oh, tell me.” “Can’t you guess?” Jon teased. “Your very favorite thing.” Arya seemed puzzled at first. Then it came to her. She was that quick. They said it together: “Needle!”

Show Jaime:

“I know I just slept with Brienne who I have a deep attachment to, and I’m about six seasons deep into a redemption arch but Ima peace out and get crushed by rocks with my sister wife”

Book Jaime literally in the middle of reading a letter from Cersei begging him to come and save her:

“I wonder what brienne is doing right now”

I think the thing that’s really striking about the got books as opposed to the show is the way Martin never shies away from how physically damaged everyone is left. In the show Tyrion gets a badass scar but in the books he looses half his nose, Briennes teeth are broken and a chunk of her face is literally bitten out. Theon looks like an old man, his body is completely wrecked -

But they’re still not beyond hope. Their stories don’t finish with the horrible things that happen to them, their scars and deformities, they go on, and it’s not pretty and tragic and romantic like a story

And that’s the whole point.

Every single book in the series makes a point about how violence and war is romanticised in literature and history and Martin makes his character a living testament to the reality of war, the ugliness, the trauma, and that depth is just another thing that got glossed over in the show where people stay pretty and everything that made the books special is watered down.

Let your characters be ugly. Let them get hurt. Let them be scarred, and watch them get up anyway.

Day 4: House Stark

Arya, the lone wolf, still lived, but the wolves of the pack had been taken and slain and skinned.

A list of my most unpopular ASOIAF opinions and theories

Please remember this is all based on the books alone, and there also might be SPOILERS for Fire and Blood and the Game of Thrones book series.

ALSO I might open the requests for Game of Thrones fics and headcanons, and maybe for Baldur's Gate as well once I get back into it.

Okayyy so here we gooo.

1. Maegor's story doesn't add up

Don't get me wrong, he must've obviously been a horrible king and a shitty husband, but reading the chapters that talk about him in Blood and Fire, it all just felt like a list of rumours and versions of all nefarious crimes he would've committed. There are about five versions of whatever he did with each wife of his, each of them more depraved than the one before.

Again, I don't think he was an angel or anything, but my theory is that his history was written by biased sources. His reign was made illicit by Jaehaerys, so it would've been in his best interest to have him remembered as nothing more than a viscious monster.

It's a form of "damnatio memoriae" that we've already seen, in a way, with Mushroom and the Dance of Dragons. When in a conflict, and especially after a victory, each side wants to depict the side they beat as badly as possible Caesar did a similar thing in "De Bello Gallico", the book about his conquest of the modern French and Swiss territories. In this book he excuses his conquest with the supposed preparations for an attack by the Helvetians, a fact that was proven to be misinterpreted as it was a mere pacific migration. And again, he did the same thing when he accused them of cannibalising each other while being under siege, another untrue fact made up to just make them seem worse.

So in a way, Maegor's reputation could've been made worse by following historians to legitimate Jaehaerys' reign over Aerea's claim.

2. Incest has no effects on Valyrians

Okay, this is a bit weirder. My theory is that Valyrians practised incest because it had no effect on their offspring.

Looking at the Targaryen family tree, I noticed that the cases of madness increase the more Targaryens marry with other houses. Baelor the Blessed was the first mad Targaryen, and he had a grandmother of house Harte and a great grandmother who was half Arryn.

Before Baelor, Helaena is questionably considered mad as well, which would prove my theory furthermore had it not been for the amount of trauma she endured in her life so I'm honestly not gonna count her as "mad". Rhaegel Rargaryen was the second confirmed mad Targaryen, with a Martell mother; his daughter Aelora is questionably considered mad too, and her mother is an Arryn.

Aerion Brightflame was another mad Targaryen, with a half Martell father and a Dayne mother. The last two mad Targaryens were Aerys II and Viserys III, but at this point, the bloodline was mixed with others enough to make the Targaryen madness an unpredictable factor.

3. There is no good or bad in the Dance of Dragons

So I think we could theorise that Valyrians can perform incest so long as it remains within pure Valyrian blood.

Edit: some of you have pointed out how there were other signs of incest complications in the Targaryen family such as malformities and stillborn babies. I really am no biologist and I don't want to dwell into that "Valyrian race supremacy" craziness, but those cases are once again always correlated to marriages between Targaryens and other houses, for example all of Maegor's stillborn and unborn children (as 5 out of his 6 wives were not Targaryens/Valyrians) or the following cases.

Rhaenyra had a claim on the throne because of Viserys' will, but Aegon had a claim on the throne because of the laws of Westeros themselves. You can argue that Alicent wasn't the nicest stepmother, yet you can't look me in the face and tell me a woman in the middle ages married to a KING to whom she had given THREE SONS wouldn't complain when the king dismisses all of them and their claims in favor of his firstborn daughter.

Otto may have manipulated Alicent, but that was just how a Lord was supposed to act in that situation: have her marry the best candidate (the king), have her birth at least a son (she did) and make sure those children are first in line for the throne (as it should be, by the laws).

Viserys shouldn't have remarried if he already had his heir, period.

At the same time, Rhaenyra had every reason to fight for her claim and try and go against the actual laws of Westeros, but it was inevitable that many would've seen badly her attempt at claiming what was Aegon's birthright.

Lucerys was an asshole for mutilating Aemond and never showed remorse, quite the opposite. Aemond was an asshole who shouldn't have had all the power he had, plus I hardly believe his and Alys relationship was really consensual so there's that..

In the end, they all had their rights and wrongs, but that doesn't matter at all. The only point about the Dance is the fact that a pointless conflict led to the downfall of one of the strongest families in Westeros history.

4. Rhaegar didn't love Lyanna

I hate the series for making them marry. Like, seriously, have D&D ever read the books? Have they not read what happened between Maegor and the Faith when he took another wife??

Never, not even in the most twisted of universes, would the faith let Rhaegar kidnap and marry a Stark girl while he was still married to Elia. That just wouldn't be plausible.

And I also don't think he'd just fall in love at first sight with a random girl at a tournament. She was a beautiful soul and had many qualities, but she had nothing that could truly make a man throw away his whole life to pursue her.

He needed another child. The dragon has three heads. He had Rhaenys and Aegon, but Visenya was missing (I just made up the name for the third possible child considering he was naming them after the three conquerors lmao). He needed Lyanna to have that third child, and he knew how to get her to get what he wanted.

Perhaps we'll find out this isn't true. Perhaps Rhaegar really was head over heels for Lyanna, but I honestly really really doubt it.

5. There is no certainty on who the Prince that was Promised is

No matter what the show wants us to see, we still don't know who it is. It could be Daenerys, it could be Jon, it could even be Stannis and we're not gonna know it until Martin reveals it.

I honestly think Daenerys is Azor Ahai, but I'm still curious to see why we would need to revive Jon then. And considering Stannis' sword possibly being Azor Ahai's sword, is it a fake one made by Melisandre to get what she wanted from him, or does he actually possess the original sword?

Well, these are the first theories and opinions I could think of right now, I might post more in the future. Again, please don't slander me in the comments, these are just my personal opinions and I respect all others.

Grand northern masquerade

i love jon and sam's friendship so much because jon sees this guy getting bullied and immediately went hm i will leverage all my newly earned social status to make everyone be his friend. and then he sent his apex predator megafauna to bite the one guy who didn't immediately agree. and this happened like. the day they met. ride or die fr.

Y/H/N = your house name

He watched as the wheelhouse entered trough the gates of Castle Black, a dozen or so guards surrounding it, protecting the only lady of House Y/H/N. Standing next to Samwell Tarly and Eddison Tollet, Jon’s heart seemed to have skipped a beat when your personal guard took a hold of your hand and you stepped out of the wheelhouse. It had been many moons since he had last seen you, you were all only children the last time. Robb had still been alive and Westeros had not seen war since the Greyjoy Rebellion.

As children, Jon always thought you were the prettiest girl he had ever seen and he would be lying if he said he never had a crush on you. Robb and Theon would often tease him about it and he would blush madly when you came to his defense, claiming that you would hope he liked you if he were to be your husband someday. Of course, he knew that could never be possible considering he was a bastard but he could never find the will to correct you. He liked to dream that maybe one day you would both run away to Dorne where you could marry and have children that won’t be labeled as bastards.

Needless to say, that dream was ruined when your father caught you both kissing in the stables. After that your yearly trips to Winterfell stopped and he had not seen you since. You exchanged letters as often as you could but they too slowly stopped coming. He had not thought of you for quite sometime until a letter, addressed to him, arrived to Castle Black. 

He had recognized the house sigil immediately and could not contain his smile at your writing. In the letter you explained how your father had forbidden you from ever seeing him again and would intercept any letter you tried to send. You spoke of how your father had passed 9 moons ago and your brother was now the Head of House Y/H/N. And you confessed that you had never truly forgotten him, he was after all your first love. After much convincing, you brother allowed you to go and visit Castle Black. 

When your eyes landed on him, he couldn’t help but feel like the same child that fell in love with you so long ago. Stepping towards him, you couldn’t contain your smile and neither could he. It was two long lost lovers uniting at last. He knew in that moment that his love for you had never truly went away. He would fight every white walker, every wildling, and every man in order to keep you next to him for the rest of his life.

Requests are OPEN!

A/N: This did not come out how I expected it too but considering I haven’t posted anything in so long, I thought this would suffice.

Guys!! guys!! guys!!! What do you think will happen to the Stark storyline next season? Like Jon and Sansa? Ideas? Theories anyone?

I just hope they do Sansa's storyline justice next season...because this girl belongs in winterfell. .with her family.. with Jon... with Bran...and with Arya.. They need to get together

Just my thoughts on GoT Battle of the Bastards

Spoilers* Spoilers* Spoilers

On Sansa- At this point in time, I think Sansa doesn’t trust anyone, not even Jon.. Well let’s say she does trust him but not that much. After all that’s happened to her, it’s just difficult to trust someone even if it’s her own brother. I also think she didn’t tell him about the Vale army because she isn’t exactly sure if they will come or not. In addition to that, Jon might change battle plans thereby alerting Ramsay’s camp then they might change plans also. She knows how manipulative Ramsay is.

True, not telling Jon about the possibility of the Vale army coming is a questionable move by Sansa. Some might say she is selfish for sacrificing Rickon, because well that is really selfish. But is it an intelligent move to try rescue him? She knew from the moment she saw shaggydog’s decapitated head that rescuing Rickon is going to be a fruitless effort. Why would Ramsay keep him alive after the battle?

Sansa may be showing that she can play the game but she is still learning. Her moves might not be best. I, myself, don’t think it’s a good idea not to tell Jon about the Vale army or not to pursue saving Rickon, but it is Sansa’s move based on her character.

I hope we see a fitting funeral for Rickon though, or that they show us Sansa crying for the death of her brother just to show us she did not this fully cold hearted person. I hope she would trust Jon more because they need each other now more than ever.

These are just my thoughts though..

Doesn't seem to think twice about killing Kings( Joffery anyone), yeesh! Oh boy has she gotten herself in a pickle 😬

I think that look on Sansa’s face when she sees Littlefinger is the look of someone who just realised he will not rest until she is by his side again and that Jon is in great danger and she is partly responsible

I think she just remembered that Littlefinger plotted heavily against her father because of her mother, and they are both dead because of it.

It was only a second, but she knew…

It looks cool  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_RI3bZhU50

I thing Jon Snows real name is Aemon Targaryen

I hate when people say Jon is the song of ice AND fire

FUCK NO. [please read until the end]

1. Jon is important, yes, but he's not the "song" of both ice and fire. Georgie Martini wouldn't put so much effort in Jon's character being so alike to Ned with his long face and dark hair, so unlike his ranga siblings yet just like Arya (who also is very Ned-Like). His character is about being a bastard yet in his actions, he will prove to be a true Stark at heart. He wants to live up to Ned's legacy, be treated as a true Stark, and being a secret Targaryen would undermine all of that. He is important, I love Jon, and I believe he will be the ice part of Ice and Fire.

2. Man, you lot are such fat Dany haters wtf. You KNOW him being both Ice and Fire would absolutely gut wrench and undermine my homegirl's entire character, everything that she does and all she stands for. Daenerys is the last true Dragonlord. She burns slavers and brings rampant change across entire regions like wildfire. She represents fire, and it's obvious she doesn't have anything to be ice. Johnny being Ice and Fire would mean she isn't as important as him (BS).

Both characters are so alike, with how they go to new regions early on, bring change, have the cutest pets ever, deal with different cultures, and have a great rise to power yet struggle with a consistent ruling. They're both Ice and Fire and without Fire, Danielle Targaryen would be reduced to just another Cersei, Sansa, or Davos (no offense to any of them, they're great but not centre stage).

3. There's no Targaryen reveal in the books yet. It's most likely going to be FAegon being revealed as Aegon, OR just FAegon being FAegon.

...

4. Jon's dead yall. Its been 13 years, girliepop. I know you have trouble with grief but he's gone. He isn't coming back. That's not him, man, that's the schizophrenic hallucination your mind made to deal with the traumatic loss.
