The Tragedy that is Jon Snow

I’m an avid TV Shows fan. As the younger girl among two older siblings, I’ve been watching TV shows since I was five years old and I fell in love with Buffy the vampire Slayer. I turn 26 this year, and in all this time watching shows, I’ve never seen a character being more unjustly destroyed as Jon Snow.

Jon starts the show as a secondary character, the bastard son of an honorable lord who chooses to isolate himself in the Night’s Watch in order to stop being the personification of his father’s mistake, never threated equally among his other siblings. As the seasons move on we see a change in Jon, we see him embrace who he was, we see him become the honorable man Ned Stark always wanted him to be, we see him chose honor over love in more than one occasion and ultimately, we see him getting stabbed by his brothers because of his compassionate nature.

From my point of view Jon started going downhill in season 7 after he became another King who lost the North, but still his character was somehow redeemable. However what was done to him this season is the worst crime I’ve ever seen in TV.

Maybe it was the writers’ lack of creativity or their laziness or perhaps their complete ignorance of what was supposed to be one of the most important characters of the show. In six episodes they managed to reduce him to a spineless man who did nothing but follow around his lover proclaiming her his queen, they denied him the fulfillment of his arc when he was deprived of the fight against the Night King, they made him overlook genocide and try to justify it with pitiless excuses and worst of all they used the “Love is the death of duty” when every single time before, Jon had chosen duty over love because that is the kind of man he was.

So what? There was no character development for him? Like Jamie, his arc got lost somewhere along the way because D&D were too stupid to understand his character. He ended up as a joke, a pariah, disowned by everyone without any justification? Because, that was the worst part, everything that happened this season regarding his character (and many other things) didn’t make a lick of sense.

The fact that he was a Targaryen and that we spend the entire show trying to figure out if the R+L theory was right didn’t serve any propose, it was only there to create conflict and somehow justify Dany going all maniac. In the end, Jon could have remained a bastard forever and it wouldn’t have made a difference!

Yesterday’s episode was a shit storm, every minute of it was filled with bad writing and character destruction and for me, the worst of all was the obliteration of Jon Snow, a character that could have been epic but who ended up a mess, all because D&D can’t wait to start with Star Wars.

Never believed in Jonsa endgame so don’t feel let down at all. In fact I got more than what I expected. After 4 years of wondering why was there such importance placed on Jon wanting to protect Sansa I would’ve never imagined it was to show how Sansa’s protection trumped Dany. Tyrion told Jon that Dany would eventually kill him, and that was fine. He was okay with that. But a possible threat to Sansa’s life, nope sorry. Bye muh Queen. 

Remember Dany died not because she killed all those people. She died because she became a threat for Sansa.

the real character’ assassination  this season was jon’s character not dany’, he  did not stand up to dany because he was pussy whiped! like fucking jon snow the jon snow that loved ygritte but still left her because he had to go back to the NW and y’all want  to tell me that that jon snow the one who devoted all his life to save the realm was just going to sit there and Watch that power hungry burn innocent people!!!? like do l look like a telenovela fan !!

Lone wolf dies but the pack survives

[betsvf]

What fucks up this ending for me is Jon. There is NO reason for his exile. The unsullied are leaving. Sansa is QitN (which was an amazing scene btw). Why can’t she give Jon refuge? The North would see him as a hero for killing Dany.

Jon has been a fucking idiot for most of S7 and S8 but I still loved him and his ending breaks my heart.

“the long wolf dies, but the pack survives”

bitch where

[betsvf]

This writers are a joke

8x01 - Winterfell // 8x04 - The Last of the Starks

Requested by an anon.

Jon Snow was so "useless" because the writers wrote it that way, and that sucks

[betsvf]

robb stark + best big brother

[betsvf]

And it’s finally done!

After reading so many amazing metas about how Jon’s and Sansa’s journeys are incredibly similar, I decided to make this gigantic fanart. I tried to merge some book descriptions to them, like Jon’s age at the first drawing and the fact that he used to carry Longclaw on his back (because he’s too short in the books).

Hope you like it!

this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby

Fanon Robb Stark: Love obsessed cinnamon roll who needs a hug! Can’t keep his dick in his pants and lost the North. Doesn’t deserve to be king and lost the war because he got married. Boring good guy obsessed with honor and love. The only people who remember him are his fans or people ready to say he was a bad king.

Canon Robb Stark: The entire realm was literally pissed scared of Robb Stark. He was the young Lord turned King who was destroying, straight up destroying Tywin Lannister. Tywin Lannister! The man who got a song named after him for being a fucking nightmare and Robb Stark was embarrassing him at every turn. He captured the King Slayer, one of the deadliest swordsmen in the series, destroyed the west, saved the Riverlands, and basically became a legend overnight. Robb Stark with his mother’s help was leading and winning a war on his own skill. Seriously, he wasn’t called “The Young Wolf” as a cute play on words since he was a Stark. They called him that cause they thought he could turn into a fucking Wolf! He was also a Warg, the only one besides Bran who even understood what the Wolf dreams meant. It took being betrayed by his best friend, 3 sworn house armies, and Tywin organizationing the Red Wedding, which is the equivalency to burning a church in our time, to defeat him and still to this day GRRM, the creator of ASOIAF/GOT says that he had to kill off Robb or he would’ve been unstoppable.

I think this fandom seriously forgets how motherfucking badass this character was and how it took literally the worst mother fucking luck a king in the north can motherfucking have to fucking defeat him. Seriously the motherfucker was fighting in a war with fucking four other KINGS! Fucking Four motherfuckers Kings! Who’s to say who could’ve done better?! Fuck of Robb was still alive fucking the Lannisters would be taking it in the ass right now! Daenerys?! Do you really think how that meeting would’ve been the same if he was there

Dany: The last King in the North was Torrhen Stark.

Robb: Aye he was, until your ancestor Aegon The conqueror burned thousands alive in the fields of fire…Do you wish to repeat history if I do not kneel?

Dany: Under a Targaryen the realm has always had peace.

Robb: Has it? The Faith Militant Uprising, The Dance of Dragons, Blackfyre Rebellion, War of the Ninepenny Kings, and of course Robert’s Rebellion, the war your father and brother started by killing my grandfather, uncle, and kidnapping my aunt.

Dany: Don’t judge a daughter for her family’s sins

Robb: But yet you want their power…How does that work? Wanting the Targaryen’s legacy but not their sins?

Dany:

Robb: I came for Dragonglass, but I see I must find it elsewhere.

Dany: I haven’t given you permission to leave yet.

Robb: Can you fight more than one war at once, Daenerys? I’ve done it before and it’s not easy. You’re fighting the Lions, don’t make the Wolves a threat too. If you truly want to prove you are not your father, let us have have the dragonglass. In exchange, I’ll aid you in securing the Irone Throne.

Dany: You would withhold the North from me?

Robb: And the Vale and Trident.

Dany: Under what grounds?

Robb: under the grounds that it is my family’s land and they named me their king. If you are a Queen because your family held the crown, then remember so was mine. If you truly mean to make the realm better then understand my people know no king but the king In The North. They will fight the dragons till their last breath. Then what will you have? Ashes. If you burn King’s landing, the Trident, and the North, then invade it with your army of rapists, you’ll only be known as the Mad Queen of the Ashes.

Dany:….So What do you purpose?

Robb: Cersei will never surrender, not even if the dead, dragons, and wolves are at her door. Her arrogance made her start a war, even when I tried to sue for peace. She ignored it.

Tyrion: You see no point in even trying?

Robb: What do you think your sister will do with the choice of kneel or die?

Tyrion:…She’ll fight till the bitter end and take as many lives with her.

Robb: Right. You may not believe my stories of dead men, but you at least believe in a form of peace. We can form an alliance. You made one with The Greyjoys, you can make one with me.

Dany: How did you-

Robb: The Ironborn would never work with you unless they would gain something. Let me rule over the North, Trident, and Vale. The rest of the realm will be yours. We will avenge our families that have suffered under the Lannisters and work together to stop the dead.

Dany: I still do not believe in stories of dead men, Robb Stark.

Robb: Aye, and I hadn’t believed in the return of dragons. The dead will come, yet the Lions are here now. One war at a time…Queen Daenerys.

Dany:…Very well…King Robb.

I only say that the meeting would have gone differently because Robb was raised and trained in history and how to negotiate and how to deal with Egos. I love Jon and his amazing Ass to death, but Ned didn’t raise him to be a Lord and definitely not a king. Jon was at the Wall during the war of the five Kings and was out of touch. Even Sansa and Tyrion had to tell Jon that he doesn’t understand Cersei like they do and he doesn’t. At the Wall there is barley politics, just survival. You can argue that the war for Dawn is different, but it takes someone to know how to deal with these people and their ego. That’s why Theories of Political Jon even exist. Going beyond the Wall wasn’t just to prove the army of the dead exist to Cersei, but to Dany too. Robb would believe Jon by default because he trusts and loves his brother. Robb would also understand just from the war of the five Kings that Cersei will never bend the knee, so it would be easier to convince Daenerys to fight with him like it was for Renly.

Build an all star North: Robb as King, Jon as a knight commander of the army, and Sansa as hand of the King.

My whole Point is that some people in this fandom need to start giving King Robb Stark some credit! He was a fucking Badass and when the creator of the damn series itself says he would’ve been unstoppable you listen.

Edit: Robb was the only one of the 5 Kings in the war who didn’t name himself King. His people did! The first king in 300 years! It wasn’t just the North either like most would think.

The North and the TRIDENT declared him their King! Two fucking continents declared a teenager King because he was that fucking badass! Seriously!

Tyson’s line: “Any man who must call himself King is no king at all.”

Stannis, Renly, Balon, Joffrey, all those fucks had to defend or fight for their claim. Robb Stark was given the crown. Two separate continents gave a teenager their crown! And he fucking wrecked everyone. Stannis and Tywin even had to respect him even though they wanted him gone. Fucking Renly wanted to work with him cus while his people loved him, Robb’s fucking people worshiped him. It’s been 5 seasons, 3 books and this mother fucker is still relevant in the fans eyes! Like fuck! Fuck You if you only remember as the tragic hero, he was more than just that.

Jon: Saw him as his best friend and hero. In the books and show he even claimed Robb was his better. Which maybe it was hero worship or maybe it was fucking true! Jon wasn’t a one man army in the books and in the show Robb didn’t have his guards. Fucker just want into war on his fucking own. Mind you that means he found a way to capture Jaime on his own too. Jon and Robb were close as fuck and the only reason book Jon didn’t join Robb was cause he thought he would’ve been killed for desertion. Jon still cries for Robb.

Sansa: Literally the poor girl took strength in Robb’s memory. It was the only comforting thing she could think about half the time. Her older brother, her hero, coming to fucking murder the Lannisters. Seriously from the day her father died till the day Robb died, he was all she thought about. She looked up to him, loved him. The fucker was her hero. She looked Joffrey right in the eyes and said “My brother will storm this fucking city and kill you all.” She always said she has to be strong like Robb.

Arya: She was just like Sansa. She looked at Robb like a hero. You show fans don’t know, but Arya loved Robb just as much as Jon. She thought about him daily and prayed for him to kill the Lannisters.

Bran: The boy wanted to go to war with Robb! Funny thing is while Bran wasn’t as good with the bow and arrow like Arya, he was better at swords. Bran wanted to warg into Summer and fight side by side with his brother. Just like his sisters he wanted to be strong like Robb.

Rickon: Robb was like a parent to him when Ned and Cat left. He took care of the kid, played with him. As he did with Bran .

The North and Trident: Those people books later still talk about him being their king and damning the oath breakers. Even the Karstarks still respect him. Seriously read the fucking books.

We know no king but the King in the North who’s name is Stark. King Robb Stark. The Young Wolf! King in the North and the Trident! Fuck the Oath breakers!

Game of Thrones s6 or: How they thought it was a great idea to show us how Sam and Tormund act around the women they’re into–and then had Jon act the same way around Sansa.
