I believe Jon is the lightbringer in the prophecy and Dany is TPTWP. I believe grrm is doing a gender swap type thing putting Dany in a traditional male role when it comes to prophecies. What do you think?
It’s hard to say. I’ve had my own theory for a while Dragon as Lightbringer, and while I do think the dragons or more specifically Drogon is part of the theory I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Jon is part of the prophecy or more specifically has his own version of the prophecy.
Being that Jon and Dany’s are so steeped in their parallel arc, it would make sense, that Jon would have his own version of the Lightbringer theory. His can take the more traditional take with an actual flaming sword like Beric’s/ But unlike Beric, Jon’s flaming sword is Valyrian Steel, which as we know has magical properties.
Beric lights his sword with his own blood if Jon were to do that he’d be lighting a Valyrian steel sword with Valyrian blood, which adds another element not present in Beric’s ritual. This might give Longclaw magical properties and abilities unlike anyone else.
I suppose there could be a third layer to this and having Jon be the Lightbringer to Dany’s TPTWP, I don’t think it’s an either-or proposition and I’ve always been open to multiple interpretations.
I will say that I don’t think we’ll get a clear answer either in the books or the show. That is to say, e won’t have a character doing an exposition and explaining the things that were left unexplained. A lot will be left to interpretation, I think.
