#jonsa parallel 2x01

Jon’s first meeting with D/enerys mirrors the meeting where he had his first lesson from Jeor Mormont

Never in my entire existence as a jonsa shipper I imagined I would ever made a j0nerys parallel (well, sort of parallel). If anyone said that Jon and D/any’s meeting is the point of the entire series.... they are not wrong! Everything that Jon has gone through was indeed to prepare him to meet D/enerys. I have found out two episodes that have a strong jonsa parallel has helped in trying to understand Jon’s behaviour in season 7. First, episode 3x01 helped for understanding the Dragonpit meeting, then episode 3x05 for the wight hunt.

Now @thelawyerthatwaspromised has pointed out before that Jon truly applied everything that he learned from Jeor Mormont when he met D/ny , but Seven Hells TLTWP, I know your meta are always on point, but for that one, I don’t think you realize just how right you are! Because the first time Jon meet D/ny was scripted to mirror exactly the first time Jon meet Craster with Jeor!

“Everything that happens will be something that you’ve seen before”

I realized this because I have combed through Jon’s scene with Craster to make a Jonsa parallel post. And because two Jonsa parallels that I found has linked to his behaviour with D/ny in season 7, I thought why not this one, and what about the first time they meet at Dragonstone? So I did a rewatch, and holy shit!

First I’m going to quickly summed up the Jonsa parallels that has brought this post.

Jon and Sansa in 2x01 - The North Remembers, where Jon and Sansa can’t help themselves and blurted out in front of an enemy and has to be saved by Jeor and Sandor.

The meeting with Craster was opened by an important information.

That he committed incest. Though more in an abhorrent way than the great Targaryen dynasty.

When Jon arrive at Dragonstone, their weapon was seized by Missandei.

Then a mention of Stark men in the South and a Stark man in the North

When they meet, D/ny/Craster called them with demeaning title (bastard/my lord), and Jon couldn’t help himself and defy them.

There is a strong occultism displayed by D/ny towards the Targaryen dynasty and in Craster’s scene we see Gilly was brainwashed to think Craster is good and their lives were great.

While D/ny mentioned Torrhen Stark who was a King turned Warden, Craster talked about Mance Rayder who were once a crow turned King.

Both D/ny and Craster showed their stubbornness.

Then their meeting was closed by “offering” their hospitality.

In the end, here is Jeor Mormont’s advice that I think Jon applied wholeheartedly after his first meeting with D/ny.
