Stupid falkreath stupid house with the stupid giant that shows up. Mr. Rude walked up to My house and has the audacity to yell at ME for being all up in HIS grill. Like this is legit my front porch, you are in the wrong pal. I was putting in the effort to ignore him for the most part. I wasn’t going in those woods behind the house anyway, so who cares? But then, he was literally so close to my house that he got mad every time I entered my own home. So one morning I’m just standing there, on my own front porch, and he starts going raugg raigh raaahhh and swinging a club at me. So naturally I was all like “lol loser”, bc I could just enter the house and he’d have to chill out. Then, this absolute sociopath decides “oh yeah, making fun of me? Well just you laugh at this” . Literal monster chased after, killed, and ate my horse. Literally what did I do. Ugh.

My heroes were the usual pair of mismatched adventurers, the melancholy exile prince R’hllor of Raugg and his boisterous, swaggering companion Argilac the Arrogant. [...] Argilac got eaten by the titular dark gods. I had been reading Shakespeare at Marist and learning about tragedy, so I gave Argilac the tragic flaw of arrogance, which caused his downfall. R’hllor escaped to tell the tale … and to fight another day, I hoped. [...] I began a second R’hllor story during my freshman year at Northwestern [...] In the sequel, my exile prince finds himself in the Dothrak Empire, where he joins Barron of the Bloody Blade to fight the winged demons who slew his grandsire, King Barristan the Bold. I’d written twenty-three pages when some friends found the story on my desk one day, and had so much fun reading the purple prose aloud that I was too chagrined to continue. (I still have the pages, and yes, they’re a bit purple, bordering on indigo.) [...] Keen-eyed readers will notice certain names and motifs that [...] I would pick up and use again in later works. In my fiction, as in real life, I never throw anything away. You can never tell when you might find another use for it.

I wanted to expand on this because I think a lot of people in this fandom don’t really understand (for lack of a better word) GRRM’s engage with the genre:

'Dark Gods of Kor-Yuban' I called it, and yes, my version of Mordor sounds like a brand of coffee. My heroes were the usual pair of mismatched adventurers, the melancholy exile prince R'hllor of Raugg, and his boistrous, swaggering companion, Argilac the Arrogant. "Dark Gods of Kor-Yuban was the longest story I'd ever written (maybe five thousand words), and had a tragic ending where Argilac got eaten by the titular dark gods. I had been reading Shakespeare at Marist and learning about tragedy, so I gave Argilac the tragic flaw of arrogance, which caused his downfall. R'hllor escaped to tell the tale...and to fight another day, I hoped...

I began a second R'hllor story during my freshman year at Northwestern... In the sequel my exile prince finds himself in the Dothrak Empire, where he joins Barron of the Bloody Blade to fight the winged demons who slew his grandsire, King Barristan the Bold.

I’m not linking this just to show the names that have survived decades and made it to ASOIAF, but to make a point: GRRM’s foundations in the genre showcase direct engagement with some of its most prolific elements. Dark Gods of Kor-Yuban and the characters within it (especially the protagonist Prince R’hllor) are not damnations of the genre. They’re love letters to pulp fantasy and brooding princes; love letters to authors like Robert E. Howard and Leigh Brackett.

Martin has never shied away from the most common elements of fantasy. What he does in ASOIAF (and some of his other works) is tackle them directly. ASOIAF isn’t saying “a hidden prince being the chosen one is soooo cliche so it should never happen”. This series doesn’t outright reject the trappings of the genre. Instead, this series aims to engage more thoughtfully with the very basis of what makes fantasy. And some of that necessitates an ordinary-boy-turned-hidden-prince with his magic pet and magic sword and magic lineage and magic powers - in the most literal sense.

Jon Snow, in my view, is the most direct result of Martin’s foundations in the genre; the Martin who fell in love with Sci-Fi and fantasy epics with brooding, dark haired, isolated heroes with big magic swords and big magic destinies. That’s what we see in his earliest material though they were not published. Jon is a walking cliche….BUT THAT’S THE POINT! He is the culmination of Martin’s understanding of the most basic elements of the genre wrapped into one character. Bran, Dany, and many others, explore the many detours fantasy might offer all while warping tropes like chosen ones and exiled princes and knights with soured reputations. But Jon Snow, cliche that he is, is the overt depiction of why Martin fell in love with and started writing fantasy in the first place. He is Martin asking deeper questions about what it means to be a hidden prince in a complex, morally grey world. Jon’s arc isn’t an outright subversion of fantasy traditions—it’s a direct homage to the genre. So don’t be surprised if he gets the big magic sword and crown in later volumes. It’s really just par for the course.

And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....

Oh yes he would!

One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014

GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017

In fact he already has ☺️
