#asos Jon Snow

[asongofstarkandtargaryen]

I wouldn't blame them, if they actually did. I mean the man does sound annoying.

Septon Cellador began to sing as well, his voice tremulous and thick with wine.

Gentle mother, fond of mercy,

save our sons from war, we pray,

stay the swords and stay the arrows,

let them know...

Donal Noye rounded on him "Any man here stays his sword, I'll chuck his puckered arse right off this Wall...starting with you,Septon.

Mammoths trumpeted in the gloom, strange voices called out in stranger tongues, and Septon Cellador prayed so loudly and drunkenly for the dawn to come that Jon was tempted to chuck him over the edge himself.

"The she-wolf laid into the squires with a tourney sword, scattering them all. The crannogman was bruised and bloodied, so she took him back to her lair to clean his cuts and bind them up with linen."

there's a very small but distinct change from book to show in s3e9 that i think is fascinating. right before the red wedding, catelyn and roose bolton are discussing edmure and roslin's bedding ceremony, and when bolton references catelyn's own bedding, she says this:

"Oh, Ned forbade it. He said it wouldn't be right if he broke a man's jaw on our wedding night."

whereas in the book, not only does this conversation not happen, but catelyn specifically recounts her bedding happening and makes no mention of ned being opposed at all.

i don't know for sure why this change was made but if i had to guess i'd say it was at least partly to make ned more likable to a modern audience. it's almost as if they were trying to make ned fit his reputation "better" but i actually think it misunderstands it completely.

ned is known throughout westoros as being "honourable", within westoros culture. the bedding ceremony isn't seen as being "dishonourable", it's tradition. ned going against that wouldn't add to his honourable reputation, it would make him some weird progressive guy that shuns tradition.

but the one time he does shun tradition is by bringing jon home and giving him a place in his family, and i think the change in the show takes away from just how strange that was for ned to do. ned stark conforms to tradition perfectly, except for that one smudge.

#me?? complaining about the show again?? #so glad i remembered this right #cause the last time i looked for a book show difference #i had made it up in my head #ned stark #catelyn stark #catelyn tully #jon snow #roose bolton #game of thrones #got #s3e9 #asoiaf #asos

random but it struck me that age is just another parallel/anti-parallel that Jon and Jaime will share. Jaime was 16/17(?) when he made the fateful choice to kill Aerys, which forever besmirched his honor and caused him to be “the Kingslayer” (deragatory). Jon was about the same age, 17/18, when he made the fateful decision to march south against the Boltons, something that will undoubtedly dent his already shaky reputation and could cause him to be “the deserter” (also deragatory).

We always talk about how Jaime stagnated and wallowed in his nihilism after Aerys’ death, never growing or maturing past that point; in a way, he was always mentally stuck at 17. Jon could very well die given the wounds he received during the mutiny, and though he will be revived, he will be always be physically stuck at 17, never maturing past that point. But I think Jon has been more successful in a way that Jaime never was in that he figured out quite early (when he was 15) that though he may lose his honor, he must keep pushing for the greater good. He understood the concept of “a bastard’s honor”, and is even more fortunate to receive Tyrion’s lesson of using one’s lowly position/lack of honor to his advantage, which he has been doing to enact what he considers to be the moral goods (ref “bastard” “guilty of that, at least”). P.S: I also think it’s funny given Aemon’s advice to kill the boy in order for the man to be born. Ironic that Jon will always be a boy physically.

Jaime grew physically but not so much mentally. Jon grows mentally (it’s actually his strong suit as a character how much he matures with each book) but he will have sacrificed the ability to age normally as a boy would. Jaime lost his honor at ~17 and is characterized but years of (mental) inaction. I think Jon, on the other hand, will lose his honor but will be more and more prone to making decisions, because to hell with it all.

#ok I will say that Jaime is growing though #his arc since asos has been him pushing past that stagnation #but I just wanted to talk about the forever 17 boys having to lose their honor and grappling with that #and tbh I think Jon will have his own little period of wallowments but it won’t last nearly as long as Jaime’s did #and tbh Jon already knows how rotten the institution he is a part of is so that will help him work out of his slump #he just expected them to work past that rottenness and do their damn jobs - but alas! #this is so jambled and is me rambling a bit but whatever #jon and jaime best morally compromised boys ❤️ #asoiaf #jon snow #jaime lannister #valyrianscrolls

DAY 3: ALTERNATE PROMPT: RIPPLES OF INFLUENCE 🌊🌟

Arya Stark

Everything Syrio Forel had ever taught her vanished in a heartbeat. In that instant of sudden terror, the only lesson Arya could remember was the one Jon Snow had given her, the very first. She stuck him with the pointy end, driving the blade upward with a wild, hysterical strength. - A Game of Thrones - Arya IV

Samwell Tarly

He giggled hysterically, wondering if they would make a wight of him, a huge fat white wight always tripping over its own dead feet. Do it, Sam. Was that Jon, now? Jon was dead. You can do it, you can, just do it. And then he was stumbling forward, falling more than running, really, closing his eyes and shoving the dagger blindly out before him with both hands. - A Storm of Swords - Samwell I

Even in Jon's absence, his influence on those around him is profound. His lessons and encouragement resonate deeply with characters like Arya and Sam, empowering them to fight for their survival and defend themselves in dire situations.

Arya Stark, faced with a moment of terror, finds herself relying on the teachings Jon imparted to her long ago. As everything Syrio Forel taught her seems to vanish from her mind, it is Jon's very first lesson that resurfaces. With a surge of wild, hysterical strength, Arya remembers to "stick them with the pointy end," driving her blade upwards to defend herself. Jon's words become her anchor in a chaotic world.

Similarly, Samwell Tarly, haunted by his own fears, hears Jon's voice echoing in his mind. Despite doubting himself, Sam finds courage in Jon's unwavering belief in him. Encouraged by Jon's memory, Sam pushes through his own self-doubt and blindly charges forward, wielding a dagger to protect himself. Jon's presence, even in memory, becomes the catalyst for Sam's unexpected bravery.

These instances highlight the lasting impact Jon has on those who have crossed paths with him. His wisdom, support, and the lessons he imparts serve as a guiding light for others, empowering them to find strength within themselves and overcome overwhelming challenges.

“Do you think my head was stuffed with cabbage?”

“I do not know what your head is stuffed with, my lord”

Get his ass, Jon. Get. His. Ass.

Something also has to be said about Robb being the first person to tell Jon that he can’t be the lord of Winterfell because he’s bastard-born and then actively advocating for Jon inheriting after Robb and naming him the successor to Winterfell in his will.

"I had another friend who dreamed of dragons. A dwarf. He told me-"

ASOS, JON V

Everytime Jon remembers fondly Tyrion, my heart melts a little.

I really want those two to meet once again and team up against their common enemy ( the Others).

[uchiha-no-hime]

I'm reading A Storm of Swords and I'm in a chapter of Jon, where Satin finally appears and he said something that make me think:

He tells Jon that a friend of his on the Reach liked her wine on the rocks and that's where she preferred ice.

And I can only think... how did they get bits of ice to the Reach? Maybe it's a stupid question but I can't help it.

Where do they keep the ice? And if they can take ice to other parts of the kingdom, why doesn't everyone do it? especially in Dorne, where an iced drink must be the drink of the gods in that heat

I don't know, stupid question but I still need an answer

Antis : Sansa and Jon are indifferent at best !!

Meanwhile, the books :

Sansa, two years older, drew the young prince, Joffrey Baratheon. He was twelve, younger than Jon or Robb, but taller than either, to Jon's vast dismay. Prince Joffrey had his sister's hair and his mother's deep green eyes. A thick tangle of blond curls dripped down past his golden choker and high velvet collar. Sansa looked radiant but Jon did not like Joffrey's pouty lips or the bored disdainful way he looked at Winterfell's Great Hall

Jon I — A Game of Thrones

He missed the girls too, even Sansa, who never called him anything but "my half brother" since she was old enough to understand what bastard meant

Jon III — A Game of Thrones

She had always imagined the Night's Watch to be men like Uncle Benjen. In the songs, they were called the black knights of the Wall. But this man had been crookbacked and hideous, and he looked as though he might have lice. If this was what the Night's Watch was truly like, she felt sorry for her bastard half brother, Jon

Sansa III — A Game of Thrones

"My lord, what of my sisters ? Arya and Sansa, they were with my father, do you know—"

Jon VII — A Game of Thrones

Jon did not remember standing or leaving the solar. The next he knew, he was descending the tower steps, thinking This is my father, my sisters, how can it be none of my concern

Jon VII — A Game of Thrones

The girls do not even have that much, he thought. Their wolves might have kept them safe, but Lady is dead and Nymeria's lost, they're all alone

Jon VII — A Game of Thrones

He curled his hand into a fist. Pain shot through his burned fingers. "What of my sisters ?"

Jon VIII — A Game of Thrones

So there is magic beyond the Wall, after all. He found himself thinking of his sisters, perhaps because he'd dreamed of them last night. Sansa would call this an enchantment, and tears would fill her eyes at the wonder of it, but Arya would run out laughing and shouting, wanting to touch it all

Jon III — A Clash of Kings

"That's pretty." He remembered Sansa telling him once that he should say that whenever a lady told him her name. He could not help the girl, but perhaps the courtesy would please her

Jon III — A Clash of Kings

She sang for mercy, for the living and the dead alike, for Bran and Rickon and Robb, for her sister Arya and her bastard brother Jon Snow, away off on the Wall

Sansa V — A Clash of Kings

Winterfell would go to Robb and then his sons, or to Bran or Rickon should Robb die childless. And after them came Sansa and Arya. Even to dream otherwise seemed disloyal, as if he were betraying them in his heart, wishing for their deaths. I never wanted this, he thought as he stood before the blue-eyed king and the red woman. I loved Robb, loved all of them... I never wanted any harm to come to any of them, but it did

Jon XI — A Storm of Swords

She had not thought of Jon in ages. He was only her half brother, but still... with Robb and Bran and Rickon dead, Jon Snow was the only brother that remained to her. I am a bastard too now, just like him. Oh, it would be so sweet, to see him once again

Alayne II — A Feast for Crows

"By right Winterfell should go to my sister Sansa"

Jon I — A Dance with Dragons

Jon said, "Winterfell belongs to my sister Sansa"

Jon IV — A Dance with Dragons

He thought of Robb, with snowflakes melting in his hair. Kill the boy and let the man be born. He thought of Bran, clambering up a tower wall, agile as a monkey. Of Rickon's breathless laughter. Of Sansa, brushing out Lady's coat and singing to herself. You know nothing, Jon Snow. He thought of Arya, her hair as tangled as a bird's nest

Jon XIII — A Dance with Dragons
