considering how often they have to go chasing after him in canon, i just KNOW modern au snow patrol are tired. someone has to be on jon-watch every time they go clubbing because one sip of alcohol activates his stark wolf hindbrain and he's off. sam then spends the next two hours in escalating panic as dolorous edd lists every dangerous and terrible thing that could be happening to him. eventually grenn always finds him drunkenly trauma dumping on a complete stranger (this is how jon makes 90% of his friends) and drags him home by the scruff of his neck. there's a betting pool on when pyp will snap and buy one of those toddler leashes. pyp tried this once. jon gnawed through it.

The idea that GRRM is anti Tolkien is particularly funny because ASOIAF is sprinkled with rather intricate (and even passionate) homages to LOTR. And I can’t help but think of how Tolkien’s Fellowship, more specifically the Hobbits, may have inspired GRRM’s Night’s Watch. Jon Snow, for starters, is in many ways a combination of LOTR’s Frodo and Aragorn. And in the same way that Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin are unexpected heroes in LOTR (because who looks to a hobbit as the face of an epic adventure?), Jon the bastard becomes the leader of a ragtag of socially disenfranchised men (in the form of the NW) who are anything but heroic. Sure there’s the odd knight or noble in there, but the NW is quite full of criminals and the very worst of the social order. The hobbits aren’t the strongest or the sharpest but they become the face of the fight against Sauron. And the NW, while being severely undermanned and under-equipped, has become the main force that stands against winter. GRRM even adds a love letter to Tolkien’s Sam Gamgee by adding his on Sam - Sam Tarly - who acts as a moral compass and counselor to Jon, in the same ways that Sam Gamgee is key to Frodo’s journey. And just like Frodo, Jon gets his very own pair of jokester friends, one of whine is even named Pyp. So it’s all very beautiful and nice, and we should talk about it more because it’s super evident that GRRM is a massive Tolkien fanboy. But I do have to say tho, GRRM’s take on Gandalf is exceedingly hilarious just because Melisandre is famously very bad at her job.

I love the Night’s Watch chapters for a lot of reasons but a lot of it is the dynamic between all the boys Jon befriends - Sam, Pyp, Grenn, and poor Small Paul. Sam starts off very convinced that they’re going to leave him because he’s Jon’s brother, not theirs, except Grenn just point blank refuses to leave Sam behind, and Small Paul is insistent that he can carry Sam as well.

Grenn and Small Paul even refuse when given the okay to leave Sam by another brother!

When Jon wakes up at Castle Black, the first thing he does is reach out for his brothers, and Pyp holds his hand!!!

Jon is upset with Grenn for leaving Sam behind at Craster’s but Grenn doesn’t brush it off - he is crushed by what he did, and feels guilty as all hell, and Pyp has to try to cheer him up!

Jon smiles at their antics while they’re in the middle of a long siege/battle that is overwhelming them.

And then of course, when they’re all reunited, they are so adorable

The scene when Jon is chosen as Lord Commanded has so much Pyp, and my man Dolorous Edd being the funniest person in the room as usual

i just love them all so much!! they’re brothers!!!!!!

Pyp: of fun!

Grenn (scratching his head): Someone’s dying? Who?

Edd: most likely me

I've just had a premonition and Jon Snow would drink his coffee with so much cream and so much sugar it's almost discusting but he would be embarrassed that he didn't like it any other way and when Grenn and Pyp find out they harass him constantly. Sam forms an alliance with him over the coffee at castle black and they begin a cold war

[wpmorse]

He found out soon enough. "Queen's men," Pyp told him—after he let out a whoop, and shouted, "Run and bar the doors, lads, it's Sam the Slayer come back from the grave," while Grenn was hugging Sam so hard he thought his ribs might break—"but best you don't go asking where the queen is. Stannis left her at Eastwatch, with their daughter and his fleet. He brought no woman but the red one."

Day 9: Wishes and Hopes 🌠✨

For his deepest desires, I wanted to focus on his desire to have a family. It is only mentioned once in A Storm of Swords when Jon thinks about a chance that he could marry Val and have a son too. This is after Stannis offers him Winterfell. We know Jon refuses the offer in the end. I am yet to read A Dance With Dragons. So far this is the only instance I have seen Jon's desire for Winterfell. He mentioned that a son is not something dared dream about ever since he decided to live on the Wall. This made me wonder if he ever thought about a future where he is married and has children before coming to the Wall.

This was originally posted on my writing blog but since I am deleting it I am bringing all my work from there to here.

Thanks for reading!

#JonFortnightEvent2023-

@asoiafcanonjonsnow

Jon Snow was dining in the common room with his friends while Ghost was sleeping underneath the table. The common room was bustling with brothers talking and shouting and some even singing. Toad also started to sing but Halder whacked him on the head with his spoon. They were to leave on the Great Ranging in a moon turn. There were still many preparations to be made.

Jon had been running all over Castle Black, going to Maester Aemon, Donal Noye, Bowen Marsh, and Othell Yarwyck carrying the Lord Commander's orders and messages and attending to the Lord Commander's needs. He hadn't dined with his friends in a long time since they also had other responsibilities.

The conversation had started with Hobb's lamb stew but ended with Lord Commander's son, Jorah Mormont. Pyp had been surprised that the Old Bear had a son because the thought of him having a child never occurred to anyone. "He had caught poachers in the woods and he sold them to slavers" Sam explained, "Did you ever meet him?" Sam asked turning to Jon.

"He had come to visit Winterfell with his Lady Wife, Lady Lynesse" Jon tried to remember Jorah Mormont but all he could remember was Lady Lynesse's scornful expression when she looked at Jon.

"How could someone like the Old Bear end up with a slaver for a son?" Pyp exclaimed.

"He wanted to replicate the luxuries of Oldtown" Jon said, everyone in the North knew this story, maybe everyone in Oldtown too since Lady Lynesse was Hightower by birth. He and his siblings had heard the story from Jory "He had been knighted after he showed courage during the Greyjoy rebellion for being one of the few men to breach through the siege of Pyke"

He looked at his friends and they were listening "He received the Knighthood from King Robert personally."

"After that, there was a tourney at Lannisport," Sansa had asked Jory to repeat this part many times since she found it so romantic "To celebrate victory over the Greyjoy rebels, there he saw the Lady Lynesse Hightower and he fell in love with her instantly" Arya had called him an idiot for that.

Pyp laughed "There you have it folks, the man was har-" Grenn and Sam shushed him and told Jon to continue.

"He asked for her favour and she agreed, after that, he defeated all the challengers and tied with the Kingslayer but the King named Jorah Mormont the victor"

"And Jorah named Lynesse Hightower his Queen of Love and Beauty, the same night he asked her father for her hand and he surprisingly agreed, they married in Lannisport and returned to Bear Island together"

"That was fast" Pyp said

"But why did he sell to slavers?" Grenn asked

"Lynesse Hightower was raised a wealthy Hightower, she was unprepared for the harsh and isolated Bear Island, and she grew miserable there, Mormont spent more money than he had and had driven himself to ruin by buying her expensive gifts, hiring a cook from Oldtown and a singer from Lannisport, he also had a ship built for his wife"

"He was unable to pay his debts so he sold poachers to Tyroshi slavers. When my father.." his throat swelled up at the thought of his father he remembered him and Robb sitting in his solar as Father told them about this, he could still smell the burning candles and wood of the furniture and the parchments all across the desk. Sam put a hand on Jon's shoulder, "Jon?" his friend asked, he looked up and saw his friends looking at him with concern.

"When my father heard of it, we rode to Bear Island to bring him to justice but he had fled by then,"

"We?" Grenn asked

"Robb and I were with him, it was going to be our first beheading" Jon answered

"First beheading?" Pyp looked horrified "You were what? Ten?" Grenn and Sam looked horrified as well.

"We weren't going to behead him ourselves" Jon explained smiling "We were just going to watch"

"It's still queer" Pyp said "You and your Lord's lesson."

"I feel sorry for Lord Mormont" Grenn said "I don't know how I would feel if my son was a slaver"

"You will have to lay with a woman to have a son" Pyp laughed "But even a horse won't lay with you"

"More horses would lay with me than you!" Grenn exclaimed without thinking, which caused everyone to laugh and Grenn turned red as a beetroot.

Afterwards, no one could finish their food without bursting into fits of laughter. When they would stop someone would crack and the others would follow. When Jon cracked for the 4th time, Grenn said "I wasn't thinking! Let it go!"

Dinner was over and Jon went to the Lord Commander's solar to see if he had any need of him before dinner. But there was no need for him so the Lord Commander dismissed him.

Jon went to his chambers and got ready for bed. Ghost came and jumped on the bed with Jon. He could not sleep. He kept thinking about what Grenn had said: I don't know how I would feel if my son was a slaver. Grenn was clumsy but not dumb he knew he could not have a son. None of them can have any children or even a wife. This was a hypothetical situation.

What would I do if my son was a slaver? Jon wondered, What would I do if I had children?

Rickon was the last baby he saw. He was such a small thing with lungs so strong, his cries could be heard even in the crypts of Winterfell. It was no surprise how wild he grew up to be. When Rickon was born Jon, for the first time, had wondered what a family of his own would be like. Back then he was young and a green boy still, and he still believed that somehow he would find a place at Winterfell or even in the North as Robb's bannerman.

He thought that he would do some great deed, and his father would make him a Stark and give him a holdfast to rule in Robb's name and he would serve his brother loyally. He imagined that he would marry someone and have children of his own. A family where he would belong despite his bastardy. A place to feel at home without judgement and stares.

He used to imagine a courtyard like Winterfell's full of boys and girls running around laughing and playing. He felt sad thinking about it, he knew it would never be true anymore, but he also knew he was not a green boy anymore. He was a man of the Night's Watch now. He had sworn himself to take no wife and father no children. Whatever summer dreams he'd had before did not matter anymore.

He decided to himself that he would never think about it anymore. He was going Beyond The Wall and thinking such thoughts were of no use there. Whatever dreams and desires and hope he had were now a thing of the past.
