‘the black bastard of the wall’ moniker is the exact opposite of the ‘white wolf’ moniker and this perfectly highlights the irreconcilable differences between book Jon and show Jon

#‘white wolf’ highlights his stark heritage parallels him to robb and tries to align him with perfect moral goodness #‘the black bastard of the wall’ is only about jon. it has nothing to do with his stark heritage nor ghost. it’s only about jon #it’s literally white vs black #stark/winterfell/moral goodness vs bastard (targaryen bastard to be specific)/the wall/moral greyness and the duality of it all #he’s already a snow and he’s surrounded by white up north with a white direwolf so being the black bastard and dressing all in black #is perfect imagery of the duality theme in jon’s storyline #d&d rly wanted their jon to always stand in robb’s shadow ��#while book jon has an international reputation while still stuck at the wall #my boy is stuck in westerosi alaska and he’s got ppl across the sea yapping about him for pastime #that’s fame baby #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #GOT critical #jon snow #book jon snow #and i wanna know what other monikers george plans to give jon #while i wouldn’t be that suprised if the ‘white wolf’ did come from george it’s the way it’s jon’s only moniker in GOT that pisses me off #‘the black bastard of the wall’ supremacy #the white wolf seems kinda lame in comparison but say jon gets it if his hair turns white like some theorize #if that happens then i’ll like it more cause it’ll be about jon!#like… the young wolf is about robb. not grey wind. the starks are compared to wolves and robb is a young king and he just so happens to have #a direwolf. in the show jon’s ‘white wolf’ moniker is honestly more about ghost than jon! and that’s ughhh #but robb had the wolf moniker first so it feels once again like the showrunners were placing jon in robb’s shadow #UGHHH I HATE THE SHOW AND HOW IT RUINED THE WAY SO MANY PPL VIEW THE CHARACTERS #let jon be the black bastard !!#his color was always black and the wall is his !!#put some respect on his name and his badass moniker #i don’t want to see anymore shit about the white wolf cause that’s only d&d’s shit invention at this point #valyrianscrolls
