Jon x Arya Mini Rant // Stark Reunions // S7, E2 // Book Spoilers

I’m so upset. I’m so fucking upset. And why am I so upset?? It’s because I’ve been impatiently waiting 5 books and 6 seasons for the long awaited JonArya reunion that everyone’s been hyping up since the end of season 6. Honestly, the JonSa reunion was beautiful as well as ironic, (two of the most distant of the Stark kids who really had no relation/affection for each other were forced to ban together as one family.) However the idea of this matter is that the JonSa reunion will never live up to the standards of the book readers. Don’t get me wrong, JonSa is beautiful, however it is problematic. And don’t get me wrong, a whole Stark reunion is on the top of my fucking wish list, but it still doesn’t compare. I feel like honestly, only book readers, only ASOIAF readers will know the real struggling desire to have both Jon and Arya reunite. In fact, they are the two Starks who deserve a reunion. Sansa in the books is still up in the Vale being treated to become a very political figure/manipulator. And Bran meanwhile is still beyond the wall with the 3 eyed raven. And Rickon is at Skagoos with Osha, riding unicorns. But in the books Jon is dead because of his “love” for Arya, and Arya is still in Braavos facing an identity crisis with the Faceless Men because of her love for her family and her “love” for Jon Snow. And whether or not you analyse and believe in the JonArya romantic undertones in the books, you simply cannot deny that these two really want to be together.

In the books, Jon and Arya have a very special connection that no other Stark has with each other. And I guess you can also say because it is semi canon that Jon is Rhaegar’s son, and Jon does indeed have a lot of Rhaegar’s attributes, and that Arya is a direct reflection of Lyanna, that this is somewhat symbolic of what Rhaegar and Lyanna’s relationship could have been. (THAT IS IF YOU DECIDED TO INTERPRET JONARYA AS THE ROMANTIC SHIP) Or you can simply interpret JonArya as the platonic/family ship where Jon is Lyanna’s son and Arya is meant to be a direct reflection of Lyanna. And the special bond that Jon and Arya both have with each other is symbolic of the idea of what could have been the relationship between Jon and his mother, if Lyanna hadn’t died. Quite frankly, I like both ideas. Because both are symbolic in parallels between Jon x Arya x Lyanna. Honestly, part of the reason why I love Lyanna is not only do we ambiguously know little about her, but because she is also a direct connection between Arya and Jon.

Jon and Arya in Lady Catelyn’s eyes are seen as the two most STARKIEST of the Stark children. And this is part of the reasons why Cat hated Jon. Because of all her children she had with Ned, asides from Arya, Jon was the one who looked and acted most like Ned. Jon despite being a “bastard” was the truest form of Stark than any of Cat and Ned’s children. (Excluding Arya.) Everyone else of N + C children had gained the Tully features. Robb, Sansa, Bran and Rickon all have auburn hair and blue eyes. Whereas Jon and Arya have grey eyes and dark brown hair. (Heavy Stark features). This I believe is what attributes to Jon and Arya being the two most closest Stark siblings and the two most genuine companions before/throughout the story of GOT. But one of the mains reasons why Jon and Arya were so close was not because they were the Starkest of the Starks, but because they both saw each other as outcasts. Jon obviously had low self esteem because he was a bastard, and Arya despite being a very strong woman capable of fighting (which most women in Westeros lacked), she was constantly judged by her peers for not being “lady” enough. Everyone, particularly Sansa and Jenye would call her “horseface” and deemed her as ugly and a disgusting little boy. Only Ned and Jon were the ones to call her beautiful. In fact, it was only with Jon Snow that she is able to be happy and free with herself. Jon was the one who pushed Arya to bring out her inner “warrior-princess.” Jon did not judge her for wanting to play with boys and embrace her Stark warrior prowess within her, and Arya never judged or cared about Jon being a bastard. (Honestly sibling goals. *_* ) In fact this is why when Arya asks Gendry to come with her & serve as one of Robb’s Bannerman in season 3 and Gendry says he’s just a bastard, you can see the look in her eyes that she’s heartbroken–just as much as he is. Because she truly doesn’t give a shit about titles and who’s a bastard because this is reflecting her love for Jon. Jon is literally the evidence that Arya doesn’t care about Gendry’s bastard title. In fact, I find it quite symbolic in a way that Jon constantly compares Ygritte (his romantic counterpart) to Arya, and that Arya whenever she is with Gendry (her romantic counterpart) always compares him to Jon. Like tell me that’s not a coincidence? I also find it quite symbolic in a way that yes, Robb, Bran, & Rickon (exclude Sansa) all considered Jon a brother. They all treated him as fair. However as far as titles go, they always had to refer to him as their “half-brother.” Though this is different in Arya’s case. She never considered Jon as a half-brother. Only as a TRUE brother. In fact in the books she corrects people multiple times (particularly Sansa) when people call Jon, her half-brother. In fact when they refer to Jon as that title, it is quick to annoy Arya. (As evidence in season 1 when Arya was defending Jon from Sansa.)

I also find it quite bittersweet that in the books, Jon fucking died for Arya, and his last thoughts were: “Stick them with the pointy end.” In the show, that plotline went to Sansa, -.- believe me it doesn’t do justice to its counterpart in the books. Like the show honestly fucked up the wall/North storyline so bad. Anyway, in the books when the Pink Letter arrives and Ramsey says that he’s going to marry Arya (Jeyne Poole) to gain access to the North, Jon is fucking PISSED. He knows that Arya hates the idea of being a “lady” and despite her strong demeanor, she would absolutely lose to Ramsey, and he feared her sharing the same bed with him. He also could not see Arya in a fucking wedding dress. The letter continues to say things about what he’s going to do with “Arya” and all other inappropriate things blah blah blah. Jon goes on to save Arya, despite not knowing that it isn’t actually Arya, thus breaking his oaths once again to the Nights Watch. Arya in Braavos struggles to become a faceless man because of her love for Jon. Jon had given her Needle. And Arya has killed people just to retrieve needle when it was taken with her. When Arya is required to throw away all her possessions, she cannot bring herself to throw away Needle. The one thing remaining to her, the one object that defines her as a Stark. It was Jon’s gift to her that made her fail as a faceless man and pushed her to never forget her identity. “Needle was Jon Snow’s smile.” Arya and Jon keep referring back to each other in the books, and honestly, book readers know how much Jon and Arya desire to be together. Just the two of them. Jon wants to take back Arya from Ramsey and watch over her like what he use to do, and maybe teach her how to properly develop her skills as a warrior. And throughout time and time again in the books, Arya doesn’t attempt to go home to Winterfell. She constantly tries to take the journey up to the wall to be with her brother. She doesn’t want to go home. (Well I guess she does…) But she wants to go home to Jon. There up at the wall. Jon was Arya’s home. All she wanted in the books was to be with Jon, and for him to call her “little sister” again and muss up her hair… 😭😭 They are each other’s rock. They constantly think about each other in the books to further push them to survive in the world of asoiaf. They are each other’s smile. They are each other’s home. The two fiercest and closest Wolf’s of the pack. They are the only two that are willing to die for each other, yet they persevere. In a cruel and unforgiving world, they both think of each other to help them strive to survive so that one day, they both may see each other again…

So what does this mean for the TV Show?

Honestly I was so fucking pissed and heartbroken because the show had been hyping us up for the JonArya reunion. Despite the show fucking up a lot of things from the books, it honestly feels like there ain’t anymore hope left. But it’s the JonArya reunion that helps us book readers to persevere and continue to watch, GOT. After 5 books and 2 more unknowing when to release, the book readers wait patiently for a sign that these 2 are to reunite again. It is the reunion that WE DESERVE. And when they do, you can guarantee, all of us are going to be emotional asf. Cry a river of tears. And I swear it’s going to be the most heart tugging and bittersweet reunion, for the next time they see each other, they won’t understand the physical and emotional changes that they’ve both been through. But despite this, these 2 will still be loyal to each other until the very end. The recent episode of Game of Thrones had me fucking bawling. Because when Arya meets Hotpie again, she is making it her quest to go to Kings Landing to fulfill her list. However the moment Hotpie tells her that Jon has retaken WInterfell, and became the KITN, only then did Arya come to her senses and desired herself to go home… Arya didn’t want to go back home because Winterfell was free again, she didn’t want to go home because Sansa was there. She didn’t Want to go home because she was homesick. No, she wanted to go to Kings Landing to kill the Queen. But the moment she heard Jon, the moment she realized that Jon was home back at Winterfell, was the moment she decided to turn around and head North. She went home because of Jon. She went home because she wanted to see Jon again, to see him smile and for him to muss her hair again. She went home to be with her home. To be with someone who knows will accept her for whatever she was and became. She doesn’t care for Jon being the KITN, she cared that Jon was there and that finally she would be able to see him again. The one person who she truly cared for the most. But I guess D&D have other fucking plans and decided to ruin everything by having Jon go to Dragonstone the moment Arya decided to head back North… -______-”

Tumblr media

Okay guys, sorry. I honestly thought this was going to be a mini rant, but it turned out to be longer than I fucking expected… waaay longer. But that new episode had me shook, and I really just wanted to vent out talk about JonArya cause despite the fact that Jon may have left Winterfell, he may come back when Arya’s finally home, so there is still hope. *double crosses fingers*

{{ Also double check later today, cause I’ll be posting some short ass GOT videos, as well as a “mini rant” text post of the whole R x L x E storyline. Also thinking of posting my weekly GOT episode analysis, in particular the Greyjoy battle sequence. My opinions are very strong, sorry. }}

“DIFFERENT ROADS SOMETIMES LEAD TO THE SAME CASTLE.” –Jon to Arya, (AGOT)
