Jon’s immediate reaction to R+L=J is basically him spending all his years insecure about his bastard status and carrying the weight of being the one stain on Ned Stark’s honor, only to hear that he wasn’t Ned’s source of shame at all and going “you know what, as long as I get to be yours, I’d rather be your bastard”

#jon’s feelings re ned are sooooo complicated #the rlj reveal will bring a whole lot of anger and incredulity but I’d imagine the nagging feeling will just be #but but I wanna be your son!! even if I’m not legitimate at least let me be your son!!#depends on when he learns about rlj but I think if he learns about it before he gets to winterfell and learns about robb’s will #he might choose to push for his claim as robb’s heir as a last ditch attempt to hold on to the one thing #that recognizes him as ned’s #and that would be the heart in conflict with itself - trying to get winterfell even though he knows it’s not really his #he won’t go through with it though #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #jon snow #also extra points for angst added if jon is “legitimate”
