Something I've been wondering about: If Jon comes back as a fire wight like Beric Dondarrion and unCat, will he be able to get it up? Blood won't really be flowing in his body anymore, so would his dick be powered by fire magic or something like that?
I, too, have spent a great deal of time pondering Jon Snowâs dick, Anon. đ Jokes aside, I will admit right off the bat that most of what I have to offer is total speculation, but over-thinking the most minor details of ASOIAF happens to be my favorite pastime, so letâs go!
Like pretty much everyone who read the quote, I was totally thrown off by the âfire wightâ revelation. Hereâs the quote for reference:
â..poor Beric Dondarrion, who was set up as the foreshadowing of all this, every time heâs a little less Beric. His memories are fading, heâs got all these scars, heâs becoming more and more physically hideous, because heâs not a living human being anymore. His heart isnât beating, his blood isnât flowing in his veins, heâs a wight, but a wight animated by fire instead of by ice.â
So, an important distinction to make here is that this quote is about Beric Dondarrion specifically, not Jon Snow.
The condition of Jon Snowâs corpse might matter
George can be very clever with how he words things. Note that he goes into Bericâs deaths, describing multiple resurrections and how heâs falling apart before stating that his heart is no longer beating. It could be that a fresh âfire wightâ might still possess bodily functionsâat least at first. Catelyn, too, was a very sorry looking corpse by the time she was reanimated, therefore not a great comparison, either. Especially since itâs Beric rather than Thoros who, with very little life force to lend, resurrects her.
If nothing else, Jon will be âfreshâ, and his location at the Wall means the low temperatures will help preserve his body even if the resurrection takes some time.Â
And speaking of the Wall⊠there happens to be a special lady there who could help Jon, and whose powers happen to be amplified by the magic of the Wall...
Melisandre is profoundly more powerful than Thoros of Myr
Thoros may be a red priest, but otherwise he seems to be a pretty normal human man. We get a clue about when he converted from Jaime:
âJaime had once heard Thoros tell the king that he became a red priest because the robes hid the winestains so well.â
Relatively recently, one might guess, as most children arenât yet drunks. Further, he was never very dedicated to his faith, even questioning it at times.
Melisandre, on the other hand...
âMelisandre had practiced her art for years beyond count, and she had paid the price. There was no one, even in her order, who had her skill at seeing the secrets half-revealed and half-concealed within the sacred flames.â
While we donât know much about her, this confirms that she spent countless years studying her craft, and no one in her order can match her skill. And no one believes in their faith more than Melisandre. Like in the television series, itâs a safe bet that sheâs actually much older than the natural human lifespan, particularly if she managed to lose count of how many years sheâs studied magic.
If Melisandre is the one to resurrect Jon Snow, she might not use a âlast kissâ method at all, or, if she does, it could be more powerful than anything Thoros is capable of.
Unlike Beric, Jon Snow is probably the prophesied prince
Speaking of Melisandreâs ability to glimpse secrets in the flames⊠thereâs someone she sure seems to see a lot of:
âI pray for a glimpse of Azor Ahai, and R'hllor shows me only Snow.â
âSkulls. A thousand skulls, and the bastard boy again. Jon Snow.â
âThe flames crackled softly, and in their crackling she heard the whispered name Jon Snow. His long face floated before her, limned in tongues of red and orange.â
I know. There is some contention about who the Prince that was Promised is. Regardless of whether you agree that itâs Jon Snow, youâve got to admit that Melisandre is seeing him in the flames for a reason. And if heâs not the prophesied prince, then perhaps his blood has something to do with it. Itâs likely that, for some reason, the combination of Targaryen and Stark blood matters. At least, Rhaegar Targaryen seemed pretty convinced...
Whatever Jon Snowâs business is in Westeros⊠itâs unfinished. And part of that unfinished business might just involve becoming a father.
The emphasis put on Jon fathering a child is notable
Letâs go back to Jonâs first chapter ever. It opens with Jon at Robertâs feast, the author uses Jonâs eyes to describe the setting and multiple characters. And then enters Benjen Stark. This is when we really get to know Jon. When you read this passage, really consider the authorâs intent here:
"You don't know what you're asking, Jon. The Night's Watch is a sworn brotherhood. We have no families. None of us will ever father sons. Our wife is duty. Our mistress is honor."
"A bastard can have honor too," Jon said. "I am ready to swear your oath."
"You are a boy of fourteen," Benjen said. "Not a man, not yet. Until you have known a woman, you cannot understand what you would be giving up."
"I don't care about that!" Jon said hotly.
"You might, if you knew what it meant," Benjen said. "If you knew what the oath would cost you, you might be less eager to pay the price, son."
Jon felt anger rise inside him. "I'm not your son!"
Benjen Stark stood up. "More's the pity." He put a hand on Jon's shoulder. "Come back to me after you've fathered a few bastards of your own, and we'll see how you feel."
Jon trembled. "I will never father a bastard," he said carefully. "Never!" He spat it out like venom.
Suddenly he realized that the table had fallen silent, and they were all looking at him. He felt the tears begin to well behind his eyes.
This is how George R.R. Martin chooses to introduce us to Jon Snow. And gods, that always hits me right in the gut. Itâs absolutely supposed to. Jonâs trembling, venomous anger is palpable. You feel the deep hurt and resentment in his words, right down to his core. Jon says he doesnât careâbut the bite in his words and the tears welling in his eyes tell us otherwise.
Jon Snow easily embraces his vow of celibacy. At first. And then comes Ygritte. And after getting his first taste of love and later flirting with the idea of becoming a lord when itâs offered to him by Stannis, Jon Snow begins to imagine what it might be like to have a wife...
âI might someday hold a son of my own blood in my arms. A son was something Jon Snow had never dared dream of, since he decided to live his life on the Wall.â
And look what happens the moment he does dare to dream of it...
âI could name him Robb. Val would want to keep her sister's son, but we could foster him at Winterfell, and Gilly's boy as well. Sam would never need to tell his lie. We'd find a place for Gilly too, and Sam could come visit her once a year or so. Mance's son and Craster's would grow up brothers, as I once did with Robb.
He wanted it, Jon knew then. He wanted it as much as he had ever wanted anything. I have always wanted it, he thought, guiltily. May the gods forgive me. It was a hunger inside him, sharp as a dragonglass blade.â
And the feeling transitions into an almost tangible hunger felt by his wolf, Ghost.
Speaking of GhostâŠ
Grab your tinfoil! âCause Jonâs life mightâve already been âpaid forâ ...By Daenerys
First⊠in case you didnât know, Daenerys is probably a skinchanger:
âThe slightest pressure with her legs, the lightest touch on the reins, and the filly responded. As she turned to ride back, a firepit loomed ahead, directly in her path. A daring she had never known filled Daenerys then, and she gave the filly her head.â
Basically, it goes like this:
As Daenerys wanders the Dothraki Sea in search of food after being whisked away by Drogon, she hears a wolfâs howl.
âWill (Ghost) howl for me when I'm dead, as Bran's wolf howled when he fell?â
Feeling lonely yet no less hungry, she eats some strange green berries. Her stomach begins to cramp.
âMy flesh will feed the wolves and carrion crows, she thought sadly, and worms will burrow through my womb.â
Unfortunately, Daenerys then experiences some horrible diarrhea. Poor girl! I donât bring it up to be crass, but because this purge bears striking resemblance to an earthly drug called Ayahuascaâa substance that, aside from emptying your bowels, is often used as a means to âopen your third eyeâ (Just as Bran does in the crypts, and he can finally reach Jon and GhostâŠ)
Dany falls asleep and begins experiencing trippy dreams about her brotherâperhaps even achieving contact with the other side? Then...
âWhen she woke, gasping, her thighs were slick with blood.â
Assuming itâs nothing more than her period, Dany begins to wonder the last time she bledâhinting that it mightâve been a little while.
âThe sight of so much red frightened her. Moon blood, it's only my moon blood, but she did not remember ever having such a heavy flow.â
Maybe a bit of a stretch, I know. But⊠this wretched and graphic scene of Danyâs loose bowels really made me wonder what in seven hells George was thinking. I was so embarrassed for Dany that I HAD to figure out why heâd do this to her.
And my best guess is that sheâs using these latent skinchanging abilities to tap into this strange connection with the âblue roseâ over at the Wall of Westeros and the silent wolf who finally howled for help upon his death⊠And so, Danyâs miscarriage may be the death that will pay for Jonâs life.
I mightâve found some more evidence to back this claim up, this is very new âevidenceâ, so bear with me:
âFireâ, in the world of ASOIAF, often translates to âlifeâ. As is seen here in Samâs speech following Aemonâs death (thanks, bridge4!):
âHe was the blood of the dragon, but now his fire has gone out.â
Further, according to the wiki:
âWhen a follower of the Lord of Light dies, priests fill their mouths with fire and breathe flame into the deceasedâ
In the House of the Undying, Dany receives a series of chilling prophecies, one of which happens to be about fires:
âThree fires you must light, one for life, one for death and one to loveâ
I know, I know. Drogoâs pyre, the Khals, etc etc. But George might be playing with double meanings here⊠So, if we think of fires as conceptions, this could maybe mean:
One in exchange FOR the Dragonâs lives (Life)
One in exchange FOR Jonâs resurrection (Death)
One conceived (likely with Jon) and carried to term (TO love)
Food for thought! Especially considering that, like Jon, Dany possesses the blood of Old Valyria, and these sacrifices are probably all the more powerful as a result. But even if Iâm dead wrong about that prophecy, well, fire still broadly means life, which bodes well for our brooding âbastardâ, who might just end up as a âfire wightâ.
Hopefully something in this drivel has given any Jon fans reading this a little bit of faith that, despite the slight setback of death, Jon will still be able to exercise his, uh, virility when he finally meets Dany. đ
Thanks for the ask!!
