“All justice flows from the king[…]”
- Eddard IV, AGOT
“He was no true king,” Dany said scornfully. “He did no justice. Justice … that’s what kings are for.”
- Dany III, ASOS
Her breath frosted the air in small nervous puffs. “They say the king gives justice and protects the weak.” She started to climb off the rock, awkwardly, but the ice had made it slippery and her foot went out from under her. Jon caught her before she could fall, and helped her safely down. The woman knelt on the icy ground. “M’lord, I beg you—”
- Jon III, ACOK
Jon was fourteen, an old hand at justice.
- Bran I, AGOT

What is honor compared to a woman’s love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms… or the memory of a brother’s smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.
Jon Snow - and family that haunts him, because sometimes ghosts make for the best love stories.

‘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

Richie: So, let me get this straight. Pete's brother, Ted, is in that box, stuck in some sort of time loop?
Tinky: Nyahahah, yep! The Time Bastard.
Richie: See, that's what I'm stuck on: the name. I've met their dad, he never left. Shouldn't it be like the Time Jackass? The Time Perv?
Tinky: ... I don't like this one anymore.

no of fence to jon snow fans who for some reason care about his exact age, but these discussions just annoy me no end. not only bc there's no way any weirwood flashbacks bran has to rhaegar/lyanna will come with time/datestamps, but also bc there's always comments like this:
SEVERAL turns of the moon (ie, months)?! have these people never seen a human baby before or just have no concept of their ages? even if we take into account travel time from the toj to wf, meaning jon was not a newborn too fresh out the oven when catelyn and robb arrived, there's still a difference between a newborn and a 3mo and an even bigger difference between those infants and an older baby 5-7mo. there's very good reasons these lines were cut. whatever birthdates can be worked out internally for jon and robb from when they're first mentioned as 15 and 16 don't matter in the end, bc grrm doesn't care about a consistent timeline and the actual text of catelyn's pov and ned's convo with robert about cheating on her should outweigh any guesstimates about jon's official nameday wrt robb's. catelyn may not have cared for jon, but she would sure as hell have noticed his nameday if it came before robb's and made him ned's firstborn. if jon's birthday canonically came before robb's then either ned's cover story would not involve adultery (not impossible for him to sire a bastard before his wedding), or he'd just give jon a new nameday along with his new name to fit the adultery lie. it makes no sense for him to lie about one and not the other, undermining the big lie with a little public clue of his story not adding up. whatever else she was as a stepmother, cat wasn't stupid and a bastard who was actually the eldest son being raised alongside her trueborn heir could be an even bigger insult than whether he was born of adultery or not.
BUT, the unknowability of jon's true birthday is not the only reason this annoys me, it's bc this is all based on the assumption that jon must be older since rhaegar/lyanna ran off together before ned married cat, as if both boys must have been conceived asap as robb canonically was when his parents consummated their marriage. and that's not how human reproduction works! even if you don't understand how fast babies grow in the first year, you should know that people who get pregnant do so through ovulation cycles and a lucky sperm finding an egg and all that, not just immediately getting knocked up as soon as one has p-in-v sex for the first time. not unless you only know mean girls sex ed where if you have sex you will get pregnant and die. (even tho lyanna did die, there's plenty of canon examples where pregnancy did not lead straight to death. also examples of people who did not get pregnant right away and even some who are/were sexually active and childless without always having moon tea on hand.) we can't know how long lyanna was having sex before that sperm+egg match happened or even how long she was with rhaegar before losing her technical virginity. if they were married, doesn't it make sense to think they didn't consummate their relationship until the wedding night either? that's the only leverage there is to ensure a status as wife rather than just mistress.
and while i just said grrm doesn't care about exact timelines and a lot is still foggy surrounding the rebellion and esp rhaegar, there is one timemarker wrt robert's rebellion he voluntarily threw in, time and time again: that stannis was besieged at storm's end for almost a whole year. that siege, which mind you, did not match the duration of the entire war. it only started after robert won his battles at gulltown and summerhall, returned to storm's end, and then went out and lost the battle of ashford, leaving his homeland open to the reachermen. the same siege which only ended when ned made a detour there after the sack of king's landing, before going to the toj. even if lyanna may not have given birth that exact day ned found her, she could only be waiting in that bloody bed for weeks at the most, not months. so if rhaegar knocked her up the very same night he carried her off and jon was still a newborn when ned found her after the siege of storm's end had ended, wouldn't that mean lyanna was pregnant for well over a year? that's not how human pregnancy works either! so, maybe that's proof that jon and robb, whichever order they were actually born in, were actually very close in age as babies, much closer than if they were both conceived asap.
and really, jon's actual birthdate does not matter imho, when he was raised not just as the bastard to robb's trueborn heir, but with robb also known by catelyn and the world as ned's firstborn (which he was, in any case, as jon was ned's nephew by birth). what difference could a birthdate before robb's make (even were there some means of discovery) after ned, cat, and robb are all dead? if one is looking only at his birth parents then he's only a firstborn child on lyanna's side, but definitely a second son on rhaegar's side. maybe he was always meant to be a second son with a not much older half-brother! even if the aegon fka young griff is not in fact rhaegar's son, he'll still be known as aegon vi targaryen, meaning jon will never be known as any father's elder son. if i may reference mean girls again, it's not going to happen.
#valyrianscrolls#asoiaf#asoiaf meta#robb stark#jonathan snowflake starkgaryen#i want him to succeed me as king in the north#jon snow#ned stark#lyanna stark#like this isn't prompted by anyone except that reddit post and its comments this has just annoyed me for so long#that's why i made that show!robb/show!jon coming of age gifset years ago bc narratively jon is always a second son#bc robb did everything first as elder bro and the only milestones jon will hit first will be the those robb can't since he's dead for good#(obviously starting with jon being first male stark to be brought back from the dead)#not that everyone interested in this debate thinks this way but it just feels tied to the idea of jon being a trueborn heir#not only was he never a bastard he was an eldest boy! eldest surviving boy with those pesky half-dornish sibs gone! point missed.#sorry i just dont think grrm means for a targ restoration with king jon any more than fake eldest boy kendall roy could win his succession#(c)lsb#i had to look up all the quotes on the big storm's end siege bc it makes me feel like i'm taking crazy pills#thinking what abt stannis starving for a year while others are like we just can't know how long rr was. was it even 9mons?#like yeah lollys's pregnancy doesn't add up but bc grrm really slowed the tl down postacok prob w/o really thinking#thats diff from repeatedly saying something lasted almost a year when he didn't have to give such a timeframe!

More terrifying but ultimately impossible predictions from Eddie in wake of most of his last predictions coming true.
I am so sorry about how bad the cropping on the third picture is I could probably fix it but that’s a morning Eli job not a 1:30 am Eli job.
3/3
This is the end of the comic.
Words under the cut
Picture one
Howard: So, when’s the wedding?
Eddie: Shut up Howie. One of those random predictions had to be false.
Howard: Eh, it was worth a shot.
Picture two (I put too many words here)
Howard: Too bad we’ll both die alone now. Why didn’t you predict I’d marry some cute military man huh? I thought I was your favorite older brother.
Eddie: Honestly I’m surprised even one of those came true, let alone three. Maybe I should’ve come up with more unbelievable shit.
Picture three (I’d like to write a formal apology to my phone at this time)
Eddie: Like Paul being cloned by the sketchy company he works for, or Jerry raising a secret kid in the forest where the kid grows far too fast and far too strong to be normal, or another family member we’ve totally forgotten about being forgotten because of strange inter-dimensional eldrich god magic dullshit.
Picture four
Eddie: at least those wouldn’t’ve had any potential of coming true.
Howard: Jerry with a mini me? Terrifying.

Stupid TMA AU where Elias Bouchard is the bodyhopper and everyone is confusedly trying to understand how the workaholic master manipulator evil and definitivaly full Eye avatar upstart Jonah Magnus just became the weird unconfortable weed uncle that the Eye just sort tolerates.
#the magnus archives#elias bouchard#original elias bouchard#jonah magnus#peter filles a divorce for real because he married a mean bastard no a weirdo#but them regrets because he misses jonah's sexy bod or smt#elias is absolutly okay about being a sugarbaby#he didn't even wanted to be an eye body hopper he got the hability with a Leitner#and his father had convinced him he needed and deserved a ceo job#Jon becames the archivist because the Eye rly needs smt after Elias took Jonah for him and it latched on Jon hard during his research years#eliaa is like here take this loser now stop trying to bring Jonah back#and Beholder was like what if both#but they now are trying to bring Jonah's back on Elias original body as a thanks for Jon it's specilest littlest boi#the Stranger for once aproves because if elias just came back from being missing and in a magical come by an eye snatching psycho#but with Jonah's eyes and personality years after Jonah just became a random junkie it would be soo confusing#sorry this is soo silly#and stupid#tma

In the whole “what would the Starks do if Jon’s parentage ever came to light” debate, the most interesting figure to me is Robb Stark. Ned is already caught between a rock and a hard place: duty and love to both his king and his sister’s son, though he already committed treason once to save Lyanna’s boy. Catelyn the embodiment of the Tully words, “family, duty, honor”, is fiercely loyal to her husband and children - but not to Jon. So if she was ever put in a position to choose, it’s obvious what she would do. Then there’s Robb. He’s his father’s heir, his mother’s pride. He’s named after Robert Baratheon, the ruling king of the seven kingdoms, as a testament to his father’s upbringing and love for his friend. But Jon is his brother; his best friend; his greatest companion. Where Ned’s choice would leave him conflicted, Robb doesn’t share the same loyalty to the king. So when forced to fight for the crown or his brother’s life, he’d obviously choose his brother. Which would be an interesting twist of fate. Ned and Robert rebelled for their lives many years prior. How interesting it would be for the boy who bears Robert’s name and the boy who bears Ned’s face to rise in rebellion again.
#robert and ned were raised as equals#but jon and robb were not - jon received a lordling’s education and was raised in a castle#but he’s a bastard! he was never robb’s equal in truth and the best he could hope to be is a bannerman to his brother#and robb knew that!#so id like to see how weird the situation would be if robb’s bastard brother turned out to be his king 👀#everyone always talks about what if jon went south to become robb’s advisor#but yall what if it was the other way around- robb winning wars to defend his brother’s claim on the throne#ah love a good what if 😭#asoiaf#jon snow#robb stark#jon and robb the greatest duo to ever duo like!!! they’d put ned and robert to shame and that’s the T#for starters Jon would actually be a competent king andjsnajzbssj#always funny seeing people place robb in other people’s claims for the throne like my friends?!#that boy will fight the whole world for his bro don’t even joke about that

Rhaenyra and Jace parallel each other so much, I think if she had won history would have repeated itself with Jace's succession. They remind me of Arya and Jon's conversation about girls and bastards. Rhaenyra and Jace have one thing the other craves, she is trueborn and he is male. But she is a woman and he is a bastard so ultimately they face quite similar.
yes yes, i think it's interesting because as you say, they're both "outsiders" and by their very nature, they have a lot in common but because they don't quite have enough in coming, they never see eye to eye. i actually think a better comparison is jon and theon - jon and arya always see eye to eye and imo, both jon and arya understand well enough (even if they don't have the language for it) how being a woman and being a bastard work in different ways to marginalize them both, and i think they even have a bit of an understanding that a female bastard is going to be sexualized in a very different way than a noble born woman or a bastard boy.
but jon and theon, as far as we've seen them, are just incapable of seeing eye to eye. even though they are both part of an "out group" the other has what each boy desperately wants: jon has stark blood and theon has a noble name. jon has love and theon has status. they both see the other's faults intimately well but never take that nexxt step into realizing their faults are very similar. rhaenyra has the targaryen name, but jacaerys is a man. and because she's trueborn, she's incapable of seeing the position she's put jace in. but because he's a man, jace is incapable of seeing the situation rhaenyra was put in. they're in the same chapter but they're on a different page. not quite aligned and it makes all the world of difference.
#asks#anons#i'm glad you brought jon up because i can bitch in the tags here that i.................................#i don't love the way people talk about jon. i think people really discount the way growing up a bastard affected him#and see him as the height of privilege. what's the line in dragon age. a bastard is a bastard it doesn't matter who his noble parent is#i find it obnoxious how people will talk about him wrt cat and sometimes elia like essentially *wishing* for them to mistreat him#idk how to tell you guys that wishing for a child born out of wedlock to be mistreated is like. bad.#but this is the same as the convo around the velaryon boys. jace is not *actually* worth less bc he's a bastard guys.#stop buying into this narrative. what's your problem.#anyways#bastard discourse will be the death of me bc i think it's so fuckign stupid. why are we bringing back prejudices guys.#i would add 50 crying emojis here to show i'm being unserious but a little serious but i'm on my work computer

if one more person claims that rickon 'most voted to be a red shirt' stark will be king over sansa being queen in the north, i will lose my whole fucking mind
sansas whole STORY has been about becoming queen, learning from queens, my girl 'when i am queen, i will make them love me'
sansa will be queen in the north, and if one more person says
'oh but jon -'
'oh but bran -'
'oh but rickon-'
'oh but a possible UNBORN BABY OF ROBB -'
SHUT THE FUCK UP
#jon is a bastard member of the NIGHTS WATCH who is still dead in the snow#if he comes back IF he will REMAIN a bastard in the nights watch#shut up about the show the show is not canon#bran is a TREE BOY beyond the wall who is presumed dead#rickon is a feral child who has never had an ounce of power over the story at large#why would this feral child not-even-a-CHARACTER#become king in the north#over sansa stark trueborn eldest daughter of eddard stark#the boy is a redshirt who has never been a person why would grrm make this storyline for sansa only to throw it away#that makes no sense#sansa stark#a song of ice and fire#game of thrones#asoiaf

So here’s the thing with bastards in Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon/ASOIAF -
1 - While it’s clearly established why legitimising them into cadet branches (see A Storm of Swords) in universe has the potential to set up generational cold wars and animosity (see Blackfyres and Kar/Greystarks), GRRM uses almost every illegitimate character to deconstruct bastard prejudice (conniving, lustful, inherently untrustworthy, unbaptised original sin that would make an evangelical balk)
ex. Jon Snow. Just everything about Jon Snow.
ex. Addam Velaryon recruiting an army, flying to his death to protect his men and the Queen who’s tried to arrest (torture) him etc. ex. Jacaerys Targaryen is the only Targaryen adult in the room after the Battle of Rook’s Rest. From his management of feudal relationships to military strategy to the Sowing of the Seeds, Fire & Blood makes it abundantly clear that he is better suited to be a wartime king (and probably a king in general) than either Rhaenyra or Aegon or Prince Regent Aemond.
#Aegon IVs bastards deserve a 1k essay of their own - as does his son#asoiaf#asoif/got#a song of ice and fire#game of thrones#f&b spoilers#f&b#hotd#dance of the dragons#house of the dragon#jacaerys velaryon#jacaerys targaryen#jon snow#ned raised that boy right..f Rhaegar 2023#Then there’s whatever tf Qyburn is doing
