i saw someone bringing up jon's "southern" name as support of that take?? as if the most northern bruiser brute to ever brute but also a shrewd political actor, the character in agot that declares THEE Northern Independence......... isnt also literally named Jon. you gotta laugh
JON ONLY HAS ONE NAME AND HIS UNCLEDADDY GAVE IT TO HIM RRRRAHHHHHH
his name is truly ned's "love is a promise" take made manifest like. i will raise defy the king and realm to protect you, like jon arryn did for me. ooooooh my familyyyy
+ He vents to Ned about how neither of them are walking the paths they were promised. He again states that he has no desire to rule, and that if they win he’s going back to Storm’s End with Lyanna. The scene ends and we transition to the actual battle. Here‘s their full dialogue!
tangential rant but you know how that dumbfuck "northerners are all savage brutes who cant inspire love only fear, and ned good and lovable bc he is culturally southern, he escaped that unga bunga land and jon arryn civilized him in the vale" take that floats around ned?
im thinking a red wedding 2.0 winds prologue, character at the wall winds epilogue bc the wall is falling. dorne pov dream prologue, essosi pov dream epilogue. they're 5th generation descendant of freedmen. they dont die in the end, read ab the events of asoiaf in a book or w/e
Was thinking abt which POV I'd like GRRM to add more, Sandor or Edmure, but apparently he said new POVs will be added only for prologue/epilogue chapters so. Im good actually.
@zaryaismywife jon snow religiosity is underdiscussed, he made a decision bc ghost looks like a weirwood, he resented seeing stannis and mel force ppl to burn weirwood branches to have access to shelter. his resurrection will be so interesting in this contex, grrm hurry up
@zaryaismywife i adore how much grudge jon holds for melisandre on behalf of the free folk. like she's running around trying to ingratiate herself but free folk say "we were scared to come to the wall, we heard you burn ppl" and he's like oooooohhhhhhhh that witch will payyyyyyyyyyy
