Would you consider it to be bittersweet if jonerys ended up having a baby but not being 'together' due to being related? not sure how that dynamic would work
Can you picture either Jon or Dany leaving their child because they find out they are aunt and nephew, which is not even a big deal at all in this universe?
In ADWD, Dany actually thought sadly that if her brother Rhaegar’s son, Aegon (yep, Rhaegar already had a son named Aegon before Jon. It’s a big wtf for me, too), had lived, she might have married him. She thought that if only things were different, she could have married her nephew, as Targaryens magical, fictional people, did for hundreds of years. Since we now know that Jon is also her nephew named Aegon, I don’t think we are going to have a problem here.
Jon might feel momentarily squicked out but I doubt it considering his grandparents (to his knowledge–he still thinks he’s Stark/Snow) were cousins (Rickard and Lyarra Stark–parents of Ned, Lyanna, Brandon, and Benjen), and considering that his actual grandparents on the Targaryen side are SIBLINGS. Additionally, Jonnel Stark married his niece Sansa Stark and Edric Stark married his niece Serena Stark. Jon would have been aware of this. He is educated and likes history, especially Targaryen history.
Also, major show AND book character Tywin Lannister was married to his cousin, Joanna. Yep–Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion’s parents were cousins too.
Even Sansa was betrothed to Robin/Robert Arryn–her first cousin.
We really need to stop applying the social values of the real, non-magical, modern world to Westeros where everything is different.
Cersei and Jaime are not the barometer by which to judge the morality of other incestuous unions. Sibling incest =/= uncle/niece or aunt/nephew or cousins. Sibling incest was practiced by the Targaryens (who have magical Valyrian blood and are not like regular Westerosi) and even that would probably still be somewhat taboo for our characters now.
But Jon and Dany are not siblings and they ARE Targaryens–who intermarried for centuries for a reason. This does not cause madness. Aerys II is the only confirmed “mad” Targaryen.
So the family relation is not this big deal people are making it out to be.
Even if for some reason it was, I will personally shave my head if Dany is pregnant and Jon breaks up with her, leaving that child a bastard because she is his aunt. It’s just not in-character for either of them. At all.
