Ok I'm new on your blog and I just wanna know do you ship Jon and Dany? If yes, why, if not, why?
((This ended up being wayyyyy longer than I planned.)) (((Sorry)))
So, this is complicated, becuase YES ALL THE SHIPPING for them, but also no.
Jon and Dany are extremely similar. Both were singled out and belittled by their “siblings” (In quotes, because we all known Jon’s true self now, so the Starks aren’t his siblings, but cousins.) Both have gone through incredible trials to get where they are today - and both have experienced what should have been death - Jon being killed by the blade and brought back to life, and Dany living through flame (multiple times) that should have literally turned her to ash. They also are like the boy that cried wolf in a way - they have proof of something few believe. Jon knew Dany had dragons, but was still astonished they were real when he actually saw them. Everyone’s sort of thought it was just rumors and fables about how massive these dragons were, if they were real, etc. Until now. And Jon’s still going through that issue - getting people to believe him about the white walkers and the army.
I think they’re incredibly well fit for each other - able to understand each other’s struggles. But Dany believes him, because she believed in something that great too, and it came true. So why can’t someone else?
So I ship them, I ship them a lot. Will they end up together? Ah, there’s the rub.
I think yes, there will be a sexy scene - it’s been built up so much this season that it’d be a disappointment not to (But then again, the show constantly lives to keep us on our toes so it probably won’t happen just so we can go ARGGGG BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD A MOMENT HERE *insert extremely-descriptive mention of a scene that was a few seconds long that probably could have resulted in a pureblood Targaryen offspring). Also, the whole issue of the related thing holds no water in the world. (In real life? Yes, gross, no don’t screw your aunt/nephew). The Targaryens wed brother and sister for centuries - probably even longer.
But the question is if they live - and I strongly feel like they’re both too good to be true. And everything’s going to well for the Starks. This season is building up to something, and I know we’re going to be destroyed when it happens. Likely Season 7 Finale, but I am no Bran. I can only guess. (I also haven’t seen the leaked episode, so DO NOT SPOIL ME FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SACRED!)
I don’t think Dany will live - she will conquer the islands, but the throne will fall to Tyrion (whose lineage as a Targaryen will be exposed when he does something with fire). The theories of Joanna Lannister and Aegon hold solid ground with me - three headed dragon family alive and well okay. Jon will either die in fire (not with the Targaryen blood saving fire magic like Dany and Tyrion) or just die in the north again, and that’ll be the end of it. Or retire peacefully to the Wall. Again.
Now, who will win the throne - Tyrion and Sansa. Stark/Lannister for the most park, but truly Stark/Targaryen. So both sides will win the war - just as GRRM’s inspiration had it be in actual history. But Dany will get her victory, Jon will get his, and Cersei... well, not really, but also her family name will so kind of.
On the argument of no for the shipping of Jon and Dany - I ship Jon with Sansa, too, and Jon with Ygritte too much to really fully commit Jon and Dany together for the rest of their (probably short) dying days.
(I also ship Sansa with Sandor, and Tyrion with Sansa and Tyrion with Missandei so I mean, I’m just torn in all directions).
Wow. Okay. So TLDR: Jon/Dany eh. Sansa/Tyrion good.
