Jonâs wolf is white, like the Targaryenâs hair. Was it a sign? Were they hinting that since season 1? đ€
thereâs no way they wouldnât be.
their stories are both parallel to each other, along with Jonâs parentage, and yall know how Iâm a slut for it. Iâm going to use this ask as an excuse to assess the Pilot. This mainly turned into a Jonerys Parallel Meta, sorry about that - but what comes with Jonerys parallels IS his parentage. Letâs start off with some basics:
If you donât follow, read the title again. Here, Iâll give you a hint: A Song of Ice and Fire.
If you still donât understand, i translated it for you: The Story of a Stark and Targaryen. OR: The Story Of How The Northâs Bastard Journeyed And United Those Beyond the Wall and The Girl with Blood Of Fire And Dragon Conquered Essos Managing To Find Each Other. The whole series is just how two halves that find themselves as physical and locational polar opposites join together.
To answer your question: in no way a coincidence. The Targaryenâs honestly identify as what we would say, Albino. White hair, pale skin, and the real characteristic of red/pink/violet eyes. This Albino model is a beautiful example of Targaryen characteristics:
As we all know, Ghost is Albino. As well as the runt of the litter, or the outcast. Something both Jon and Dany are to their families. GRRM could have easily just given Jon another wolf that was a runt, but he also made it Albino. Not to mention Dany getting a white horse:
He basically gave Jon a hint of his parentage in the pilot. I forget where I saw it, but there is a wonderful Theory Video on Youtube that expresses the idea that Three-eyed Raven!Bran pointed Jon into the direction of finding Ghost since there was honestly no way Jon heard the rustling that told him Ghost was there. Much like when Bran called out to Young Ned and he turned around, although could not see him.
Believe it or not, their scenes even parallel to each other down to the order.
Introducing his personality + relationship with his family. The toxic relationship between him and Catelyn.
Introducing her personality + creepy relationship between her brother.
Both are the victims of the abuse.
The last pics i chose are VERY similar
Establishing his level of power/familyâs level of power. A secondary character in the scene hence its Ned doing the execution and it highlights his honor. But still has (two) lines to his brother that could have very well be given to Robb. (almost word for word in the books, as well.)
She has her meeting with Khal Drogo and Viserysâs conversation about when the will be married. The meeting ceremony parallels the Starkâs execution ceremony. We then go on to the conversion, which establishes Danyâs place, her brotherâs place, and familyâs place. She is a secondary character in the scene that exchanges her only two lines with her brother.
Hunting with his family. They happen upon a gross dead Stag first. Then find the Direwolves. Most importantly, Ghost, the one white wolf out of all of them and his iconic sidekick. As I said before, albino. The Direwolves are considered extinct/north of the all, and yet they find them. He only finds Ghost after identifying his place in the family.
The Dothraki wedding. Surrounded by gross dead animal meat (Iâm not vegan, it just looks gross lol). Accepts her place in the family, and is gifted her dragon eggs, aka iconic sidekicks. Considered extinct. Is then also gifted a white horse.
     4. As we know, those are not all of Jonâs scenes. We also have the shaving scene, Royal arrival, and being outside during the feast and invited to join Nights Watch. Although not parallel to the order of the scenes, these all connect to what happens to Dany as well.
Shaving scene = Bathroom scene
Getting prettied up for royal arrival
Personality: Dany being timid, Jon being teased for not liking girls more than his hair. Later translates to their traumas of being a bastard and the abuse of her brother.
Royal arrival = meeting ceremony
Kinda self-explanatory. Both Lannisters/Baratheon and Dothraki are to play a significant role in their familiesâ fates.
Outside the feast = Dothraki Wedding
Isolation; although a big family deal, Jon is not allowed inside, highlighting his place in the family of always being excluded. And although it is her wedding, Dany is the most alone shes ever been.
Tyrionâs conversation = Danyâs gifts
These feelings are both alleviated a bit when Tyrion finds Jon and empathizes with him and Dany is given her gifts. Both events establish their roles as characters; the Bastard of the North and Girl with/ Mother of Dragons.
Night Watch Invite = Marriage Consummation
These are both key scenes. It sets off the story we will see them in for the next 5-6 seasons before meeting each other. Jon is told the way to be treated like anything but a bastard in to join the Nightâs Watch; Dany is told the only way to go âhomeâ is to marry Khal to get his armies. The invite starts Jon off on his journey in the Watch and North of the Wall while the Consummation officializes Danyâs marriage with Khal, hence her own journey across Essos. AKA embarking to the coldest and hottest places in the GOT/ASOIAF world.
I hope this was a satisfying answer! Again, GRRM had said the whole story is Jon and Dany. Jonâs parentage being half Targaryen mixes in with the parallel of their love story and how they are two people with similar abusive pasts, embark on a 6 season journey on the opposite ends of the world, only to grow as one and finally, against all odds including death, come together as one. Its why their parallels are so beautiful, and honestly, unbelievable to me. they told the same story while polar opposites. the cinematography used to show it really brings it out.
There are so many other scenes that definitely build to his parentage; the context of it all honestly blows my mind and the way they play it out is one of the main reasons i think GoT is so epic. i hope i can find the patience to do it all one day.
