#valyrianscrolls #asoiaf meta #asoiaf #jon snow #theon greyjoy #jonathan snowflake starkgaryen #long post #this was such a pain bc tumblr kept giving me errors processing the post #so i ended up having to copypaste into a word doc and take screengrabs of that to post as photos #finally posting out of sheer stubborn frustration as much as anything #(c)lsb #i am no stark #its not like i think jon was wishing for cat's death every time she went into childbirth #but the possibility must have occured to him that w/o her nobody would question his place at winterfell where hed lived his whole life #the same could not be said for hostage theon with no stark blood #and hes blinded by jealousy to think jon had more honor at wf. more love maybe but he wasnt the one sitting with robb for fancy feasts #jon's thoughts of the gods are quoted bc hes implicitly counting himself a stark with that phrasing instead of his gods or the old gods #just like theon betraying himself every time he said plural gods even if he never cared enough abt any gods to pray until ramsay #i'll always think his capture of wf had as much to do w desire to become a stark as revenge #else he would have sacked the castle and took hostages back to pyke like asha said #its like the saying if you cant beat em join em for theon it was the opposite #he couldnt understand why people who knew him as a hostage wouldnt help him hunt down his own child hostages #it was only fair! theyd be his wards and still live at winterfell together #it occurs to me that stannis for jon was like ned for theon stern scary guy he had to remind himself not to care about #jon may as well be shouting im the lord of winterfell when announcing his desertion hes so bold yet he thinks if this is oathbreaking #if! what theon turncloak mental gymnastics could make it not oathbreaking to kill a northern lord?!
