There’s this weird ass patriarchial mindset that comes into play re: Jon Snow being a Targaryen, as if who his biological father is what determines what his identity and surname should be. Jon is technically just as much a Stark as Ned’s trueborn children (50%!), was raised alongside them in the same way, embraced their values and their religion, etc. Yet it’s his biological father, a man he never knew or met, that is taking precedence in some fans’ minds over the man who literally raised him, Ned Stark. This mindset accompanies this sort of anti-bastard rhetoric as if being born out of wedlock is just The Most Terrible Thing and some sort of taint that Jon deserves to have scrubbed clean to make room for his brand new last name. If by this point you have not realized that being something stigmatized yet out of someone’s control like bastardy and physical disabilities is not what determines a person’s worth then you have definitely missed the point of Jon’s, Tyrion’s, and Bran’s respective stories.
jon really saw arya for the first time in years and thought “you know what i’m going to do? shit on the sister that’s been keeping the north together and safe while i’ve been off riding dragons and fucking my aunt” and arya said absolutely NOT, IDIOT…………
Jon Snow: *struggles with his identity throughout his whole life* *wants badly to be a Stark* *is conflicted over being offered ownership of winterfell bc he feels it’s not his to have as a Snow* *is named Robb’s heir by Robb* *loves his Stark siblings more than anything else* *loves and respects the Stark who raised him sheltered him and took care of him* *loves and respects his uncle Benjen* *doesn’t even know that his Stark mom died shortly after giving birth to him but not before she ensured his protection* Demons: He’s Jon TARGARYEN y'all!!!!!! HE’S A TARG!!!!!
I can not believe I had to watch jon snow willingly bend the knee,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, like the disrespect ??? robb stark the last true king in the north did not die for this!!!!
