Jonsa: Inspired by Lord Byron’s own life and work

Link: Tumblr Fandom: Game of Thrones / ASoIaF Focus: Influences / Pairings / Jonsa Author: @shinynewrevulsions Summary: More tellingly, I believe GRRM is using Byron’s own biography and literary works to establish a precedent for a half-sibling/cousin love story.

While all metas / speculation that looks toward outside sources should be taken with a grain of salt, this has the weight (IMO) of GRRM being a known fan of Byron and being influenced by him in the past.

The Tourney at Ashford

Link: Tumblr Fandom: Game of Thrones / ASoIaF Focus: The Tourney at Ashford / Sansa Stark / Jonsa Author: @wintersqueen Summary: For those not familiar with this event, the tourney at Ashford was held in order to celebrate the 13th birthday of the namesake Lord’s daughter, the Lady Ashford. In this tourney, the knights would joust each other for the honor of being her champion and, at the end, the final champion would decide if she was to remain the queen of love and beauty (sound familiar?)

This speculates that, much like Lady Ashford didn't end up with a final champion, Sansa won't end up married to her final "suitor" (f!Aegon). Has a Jonsa lean.
