There wasn't a single speck of color beneath his void of an eye. And as far as he was concerned, there wasn't a human beneath it either.

i'll follow the moon anywhere

but even if i turn away,

i know she'll warm my back.

and from behind the halo she places on my head,

she'll still illuminate the path

before me.

how do you interpret the moon kissing jon quote? maybe dany will fall in love with him because he's the opposite of the other guys, i don't know if jon will reciprocate tho

"I can show you." Melisandre draped one slender arm over Ghost, and the direwolf licked her face. "The Lord of Light in his wisdom made us male and female, two parts of a greater whole. In our joining there is power. Power to make life. Power to make light. Power to cast shadows." "Shadows." The world seemed darker when he said it. "Every man who walks the earth casts a shadow on the world. Some are thin and weak, others long and dark. You should look behind you, Lord Snow. The moon has kissed you and etched your shadow upon the ice twenty feet tall." Jon glanced over his shoulder. The shadow was there, just as she had said, etched in moonlight against the Wall. A girl in grey on a dying horse, he thought. Coming here, to you. Arya. He turned back to the red priestess. Jon could feel her warmth. She has power. The thought came unbidden, seizing him with iron teeth, but this was not a woman he cared to be indebted to, not even for his little sister. "Dalla told me something once. Val's sister, Mance Rayder's wife. She said that sorcery was a sword without a hilt. There is no safe way to grasp it." (ADWD, Jon VI)

While I get the impulse to equate the moon with Dany and read romance into the kiss, I think the surrounding context is so firmly about prophecy and magic that I see it more as a hint toward Jon's parentage.

The moon, among other things, relates to an origin myth of dragons, and the silvering of hair, likening it to Targaryens. If the moon has kissed Jon, giving him a metaphorical Big Impact on the world (tall shadow, see also Tyrion) then this easily can refer to his secret paternal origin, which matches Jon's discomfort with the darkness, shadows and magical influence implied by Melisandre. The focus on prophecy and its dangers, even the forced wedding of "Arya", the wild Stark sister/daughter, all easily match the context of Jon's conception and birth. There is both power and darkness in that as of yet unknown factor.

So I don't see this as foreshadowing for a romantic entanglement between Jon and Dany.

Finally finished the Green Moon 2.0! She’s fully iridescent on one side (because I may be a raven, but I do enjoy shiny things!) and equally as lovely on the other ✨

I attempted to take pictures with the water droplets from the thaw dramatically splashing on the moon, but that didn’t end up working. The photos are still pretty great, if I say so myself ;)

Sansa and Arya's physical descriptions also match the sun and the moon respectively. Sansa's hair is red, like the sun, and eyes are blue, like the morning sky. Arya's hair is dark, like the night sky and, and eyes are grey, like the moon.

Excellent observation Anon!
