The best explanation of who should be king after Jon killed Dany
OK guys, let’s assume that Dany did get mad, and Jon did have to kill her for peace. Let’s assume all of these crazy shits (but probably truly to the original book although GRRM would definitely do it much better and more persuasive than D&D) actually happened, then what next?
As in Westeros, what is the most important thing when people are talking about monarchy and thrones?
Still, blood and ancestry.
So, as Dany being killed, and Jon killed her to lose his right as a sinner, who is the next to the throne? A truly reasonable king who will persuade every man and woman in Westeros, and we know they are not easy to be persuaded, definitely will not be by the shit show D&D’s Tyrion gave in S806?
Gendry Baratheon, that’s it.
He is not only the only heir of Robert Baratheon, the last real king in Westeros, but he is also the last relative of Dany and Jon, as his great grandmother (Robert’s grandmother) is a Targaryen.
Gendry is strong, and he is one of the true heroes in the war with the Night King which saved everyone in the world. He marched beyond the wall with Jon, saved everyone in the group when they were surrounded by the wrights (although that running part is crazy and nonsense), created all of the dragon glass weapons to help Arya save every single fxxking living in this world (imagine without the weapon he made, Arya will be all dead before she can kill the Night King). After the war ended, Dany legitimated him by herself and everyone supported this decision (probably the best decision in the whole Season 8). He received Storm’s End not only by his blood, but also by his contribution. Everyone knew him as a strong and brave man, a fighter who stood at the very front of the war with the Night King when it began, and stood until the very end. Everyone knew it and they respected him deeply for this!
Also, Gendry is one of the smallfolks. He grew up in fleabottom. He will truly understand the life and pain of the ordinary people in this land (and Ser Davos as well)? Ser Davos should be his hands, because only them knows what the real disaster looks like to the smallfolks when the highborns played their game of thrones. The two of them will really care about their people, and give them peace and mercy they deserved.
Actually, this is exactly the ending of Wars of the Roses, which is the prototype of ASOIAF. At the end of the war, Henry VII from Lancaster married Elizabeth of York. Henry VII himself is not a bastard, but his mother’s great grandfather is a bastard son of John of Gaunt, who is a son of Edward III of England. So actually Henry VII is from a royal bastard family who happened to be the king by his blood because everyone in front of him died in the war.
Sounds familiar, isn’t it?
And why North wants to be independent? Why? North never wants to be independent until Robert Baratheon died and Ned Stark was beheaded. Ned was always loyal to Robert. Why Sansa still wants to be independent if Robert’s son takes the throne? Ned and Robert will be rolling in their graves, for sure! Sansa is ambitious, but she is not a betrayer or fool. Why North NEEDS to be independent, anyway? After a huge war and long winter, North already lost many men and people got starved, still independent? Why?
Not to mention that Gendry Baratheon will only marry Arya Stark of Winterfell, as his queen.
Yes, Arya and Gendry will marry. Arya is a strong and independent woman, a queen, and a ruler. She is not some heartless assassin or female version of Christopher Columbus who comes out of nowhere. When she was young, she asked her father that if she could become a lord, after Ned told her that she could only be a lady, she denied that. She denied to become a bloody useless lady because all she wanted to be a lord who holds power herself. She will make sure that happened eventually instead of running out of her homeland to escape from the reality in which women cannot be treated as equally as men. Arya will fight for this unfairness instead of escape!!!
Arya’s idol is Queen Nymeria, not Christopher Columbus! She will become a strong queen who lead the country and her pack to make this world a better place! She will make sure every girl in Westeros have the equal right to receive education like boys, and she will protect the right of every woman to choose their own life instead of being traded by their fathers and brothers. Arya is similar to Lyanna, and Lyanna fell in love with Rhaegar and gave birth to Jon. Even Arya’s wolf, Nymeria, is ruling her own wolf pack as the queen. Why Arya will leave by herself alone, why?
And who will be better than Gendry, to support Arya as the real queen of the seven kingdoms? Who?
It was Gendry who knew the true-self of Arya from the very first day they met each other. It was Gendry who stood up for her when she was only a beggar boy to him. It was Gendry who protected her and being protected by her all the way along. It was Gendry who built up the weapon for her and admired her by her sharpness and power, besides her beauty. Gendry knows her, better than anyone else in this world. And Gendry loves her for who she really is, for her heart and soul. Their love is pure and beautiful. They stood together since their childhood, through the war with the Night King, and until the last war. They deserve each other so much!
Actually if you see the poetic rhythm behind this deeply, you will find:
Gendry’s path is from the Smith, to the Warrier, and eventually to the Father (king).
Arya’s path is from the Maiden, to the Stranger, and to the Mother (queen), eventually to the Crone (when she gets old).
The story of them two stand for the seven gods of this land. Who will be better rulers of the Westeros than them?
Also they both have miracles. Gendry’s blood killed three kings, and Arya killed the night king by herself. Even for Dothrakis, they will be accepted since they are both strong and full of God’s miracle.
Yes, they are strong, young, energetic, and full of life and potential. They will create healthy and beautiful children to inherit them. Comparing with them, Bran is much weaker physically, has less life, and will have no heir! Bran is the 3-eyed raven, who represents the Old Gods of ice, relating with coldness and death. Who will become better rulers for Westeros people? Life or death?
So, what the court will be like? If Dany died, Jon left, Gendry and Arya become king and queen?
Hand of the King: Ser Davos (for sure)
Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: Ser Brienne of Tarth (she started from House Baratheon and ends up with House Baratheon, don’t forget, Gendry looks exactly like Renly)
Master of Coins & Warden of the West: Tyrion Lannister (who else)
Master of Ships: Yara Greyjoy (who else)
Master of Laws: Edmure Tully (the book mentioned that he actually cared about his people, when no other lords did)
Master of War: not many good choice left, maybe Bronn, I guess?
Grand Maester: not sure whom but not Sam, the young deserter of Citadel
Warden of the South: Samwell Tarly
Warden of the East: Robin Arryn, assisted by Yohn Royce
Warden of the North: Sansa Stark
Master of Whisperers: Brandon Stark (who else)
That’s it. I call this the endgame. No else.
