I have to agree, I don’t understand certain fans who like to flip jon’s preference in women simply because it serves their agenda. that’s not logical at all and nothing in the text or subtext has ever pointed in that direction.

My sweet JonVal comm by the amazing @beetlebaes inspired by “Angiola” (1897) by Louise Cox… thank u Ham 🥹

I’d love to know ur opinion on Jon’s ships (Jon&Ygritte, Jon&Satin, Jon&Sansa, Jon&Daenerys, Jon&val and so on). I personally like Jonerys but I also find a lot of Jon ships a bit ridiculous lmao

i like Jon and Dany in a very abstract way but it’s hard for me to really get behind them because they haven’t interacted yet if that makes sense. they’re obviously gonna have the largest part to play together in coming books where i think they’ll end up being one of my favorite ships of the series tho

Jon/Satin i personally prefer to think of it as Jon being so fucking lonely in his command that he can’t help but take advantage of satin’s position. like when Jon said in adwd he craves company not food hmm i’m lonely and horny and here’s this handsome guy devoted enough to change religions for me and (in amber-laugh’s eyes) is attracted to me so yeah let’s give this a go and then feelings of affection develop from there but it starts out as just a means to an end

Jon/Val my personal favorite of canon possible endings i agree with people who say this is more idealized in Jon’s eyes than it should be but i think that’s part of the fun. she represents something to him that he’ll not only never have but may not even want when it comes down to it. i think that fantasy is part of the fun. if she survives and he does end up going beyond the wall in the end than they’re ending up together in my eyes. she brings out a boyish side of him we haven’t seen in a long time and it comes from a different place than what Ygritte brought out in him that seems to sit easier on his soul. also i could’ve sworn the first time i looked them up on tumblr someone was calling them JonValJon as a Les Mis reference but ive never seen it since so can we start that?

Jon/Ygritte loved it for the storyline it brought and the character development we got to see through it. i’m glad she died so they couldn’t end up together because like i said even tho he loved her she obviously never sat right with his spirit and on a personal level her “fuck me or die” stance never sat right with my spirit either. and she kicked ghost out “find somewhere else for ghost to sleep tonight” ghost’s evil stepmother ik he smiled when she got shot. on a serious note tho he seems to love her far more after she died than he ever did when she was alive and i wonder if that’s something we’ll get in to if he falls in love again in the series

i like Jon/Sansa in a non canon fictional sense. some of the AUs are cute and fun. i don’t see any plot where they actually end up together but i do think there’s a lot of familial angst and self esteem issues that could be worked in to their fanon that’s a lot of fun and their fans have some really talented authors that do it well

and you didn’t ask for this but Jon/Alys Karstark is one of my favorites and i really hope we see her again when he travels back to winterfell. Alys resents the Starks for getting her family killed while Jon resents the Karstarks for leaving Robb to die surrounded by enemies but they’ve found childhood comfort together at the edge of the world. she trusts him in a way she clearly couldn’t trust anyone else in westeros and i think she’ll easily follow him when it’s time for him to lead. and them flirting at her wedding to another man? i mean COME ON!

Ygritte and Val are two ASOIAF women who 1) I don't see fancasted often, and 2) seem particularly difficult to fancast. I was curious to see if I could find any actresses that suited them. so, after searching for a while, I've finally found two actresses that I think work!

Ygritte: Tamzin Merchant as Rhonu in Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse (yeah, I'm aware that her sleeveless arms may not exactly read as wildling-north-of-the-wall, but hey, she's a cute & fierce redhead who wields a bow & arrow 🤷🏾‍♀️. redheads are just difficult as hell to fancast, man)

Val: Kristanna Loken as Brunhild in Ring of The Nibelungs / Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King / Die Nibelungen (2004)

(I'm pretty sure Alyssa Sutherland as Aslaug in Vikings is the most popular Val fancast, but honestly she's always read a bit older than I think Val is supposed to be. also, I actually prefer her as Cersei)

↳ val the wildling

[amber-laughs]

jon pierced his own ears in the backseat of val’s car with a sewing needle they found in her console. no ice cube bc he wanted to impress her but she called him a pussy when he flinched. they got infected so he had to take them out then when he brought it up to her a couple months later she didn’t know what he was talking about
