okay, friend, help me out here. acok, jon i, jeor mormont is explaining maester aemon's backstory to jon and mistakenly claims that aerys i married his sister. awoiaf says that aelinor penrose was aerys i's cousin. jon mistakenly being told that a cousin is a sister...that a man married his sister rather than his cousin. is this...jonsa? [insert meme of man pointing at pigeon]

i actually wonder ALL THE TIME if this was a purposeful slip, ie, he had always planned for Aelinor to be a Penrose by birth and not a Targaryen, but wanted to introduce a kind of muddled history to Say Something - maybe about how much The Average Person doesn’t give a shit about The Game Of Thrones? About how the Targaryens were incest marrying so much, everyone just assumes all the marriages were brother-sister even when they weren’t? Perhaps hinting at how the Targaryen descent women often remarried back into the family tree, which did have the unfortunate effect of continuing to isolate them politically bc they have no cousin branches anywhere defending them? OR IS IT A WEIRD JONSA HINT LIKE JONNEL & SANSA???? - or if George pre Elio & Linda was like “fuck i can’t find that family tree i wrote up, I think I threw it away, lemme just redo it real quick I think that’s how it looked” and messed it up or pulled a “baby Daenerys” thing and just straight up added another child For The Themes bc he doesn’t give a shit about continuity akskdjdj THERES SO MANY OPTIONS HERE AND I WILL CHOOSE THE ONE THAT MAKES ME HAPPIEST UNTIL GEORGE HIMSELF TELLS ME ITS INCORRECT AKSKDJ
