My perfect young adult Jon Snow fancast is Michal Mrazik in that one particular interview. No other picture or moment, just that singular one. He's a bit taller than what I pictured Jon being, but the long face?? The hair?? The eyes??

My perfect young adult Sansa Stark is Alina Kovalenko with blue eyes. She's the perfect heigh, the perfect face, the perfect everything. I mean... tell me if I'm crazy.

I forgot how much of a tit Robb is in ASOS. I cut him a lot of slack because he’s a teenager in over his head but up until the very end he made sure to act against his sisters‘ interests. Right before the red wedding when he expresses regrets over not swapping Jaime for Sansa but only because they could have used her (married her off to Loras) to secure the Tyrells. I guess it’s interesting that both the Tyrell’s and Robb would have been interested in marrying Sansa into their family (although the Tyrells planned on having Margaery be Queen and their family to gain the North through Sansa?). Would King Bran and King Jon just marry off their sisters without their agreement?

Yeah, GRRM is kind of going out of his way to make Robb an inferior brother. From the first book, he contrasts Robb's inability to understand their POV, while both Bran and Jon very much take it into account. Both Bran and Jon reference the loss of Lady. Both want to rescue their family.

We are not given Robb's POV, so obviously we can't know what's in his heart, but whenever he is given an opportunity to express sympathy for his sisters, Robb fails to do it.

He's a young teenagers crumbling under the pressure of his title and his war, yes. But still. GRRM gives us nothing. So Robb gives us nothing.

I wanted to do a poll on what the Jonsa fam makes of this theory, but I thought a refresher might be in order. In 2012, this post was made on Reddit:

Most people agreed the suitor would be Aegon, even some Jonsas because the general supposition was that with the way things went in The Hedge Knight ( interrupted with a trial of the seven so no declared champion), none of Sansa's suitors that align with this pattern would be endgame. However, it's possible to say it's a hint, not a one-for-one replay. After all, the fair maid in The Hedge Knight was never going to marry the guy left standing, so the last suitor will be a Targ following the pattern, but Sansa will end up with him, diverging from there. And more importantly, with Sansa heading home, Aegon in the South potentially marrying Arianne, via process of elimination, other Jonsas thought the more likely option for a Targ suitor for Sansa was the other Targaryen: Jon.

The Jonsa variation really took off with the Game of Thrones fandom because Aegon didn't exist in the show and then they claimed Jon's name was Aegon Targaryen (???), but mainly because the most popular GoT BNF/YouTuber presented the theory and got it to go mainstream in 2016 and in 2021 when it was safe admitted he believes it lol.

But Jonsas have found more grounds for this to seem plausible, pointing out that Jon is near whenever marriage is discussed for Sansa:

Jonsas noted that every suitor Sansa has encountered thus far in her story is a sore disappointment (and a threat to her!), but there are lines that indicate eventually she will find herself with someone worthy or even...a dragon:

And that not only does Jon have parallels with or is contrasted with Sansa's suitors thus far, he is brought to mind with a certain description of Valarr:

which sounds an awful lot like Jon...

And interestingly enough, it isn’t just the last names that are the same between the fair maid’s champions and Sansa’s suitors, or some similarities between Valarr and Jon. Nope, there are quite a few fun tidbits:

So what do you think? All a coincidence? An imminent betrothal to Aegon? It’s totally Jonsa?

Please feel free to add your thoughts and/or link meta you enjoy on this topic to persuade the voters your way. I'll post a poll in a few days!

Real quotes from the GoT fandom that is apparently still traumatized that we dared to ship Jonsa 😂

[julibf]

“I remember the Sansa reunion especially. It’s actually one of my favorite moments. I think that for me it was the fact that I haven’t seen Sophie, on camera being Sansa in the flesh, since she was well, she’s about the same height as me then…since she was my height. I remember that hug that we had and it was really genuinely emotional for both of us I think, because we have genuinely like, our characters have been through horrific things and we have been through this journey of the show getting bigger and bigger and bigger and then we met at the courtyard of Castle Black and it wasn’t hard to act, it was like, it was a beautiful kind of moment. I remember that especially.” ~ Kit Harington (Source - from 24:15)

The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent’s King by placing it under threat of capture which cannot be avoided.
