The older I get,
the more I see
how women are described
as having gone mad
when what they’ve actually become
is knowledgeable
and powerful
and fucking furious.
at the end of the day i think the reason we’re all so obsessed w jon snow in the books is the inherent comedy of the Chosen One being sent to magical boarding school and just hating every minute of it. he’s not realizing his full magical girl potential he’s just exhausted. mans is TIRED. there’s a literal giant camping out in his front yard and he’s stressing over salt beef. there is an uber hot magical witch actively trying to seduce him and he’s just like ‘omg ygritte had red hair… im going to kms’. he is actively becoming a wolf. like straight up animorphing into his pet dog. and he doesn’t give a shit he’s like ‘hm that’s weird’ and then he gets distracted smelling satins’ hair again. easily the most character of all time. god.
Melisandre Asshai and Shireen Baratheon
“orison”
Idk what these are called, but I love them, enjoy.
’Woman?” She chuckled. “Is that meant to insult me? I would return the slap, if I took you for a man.”

When Melisandre first showed up and had a significant reaction seeing Arya, I had a real panicked moment. I truly thought Arya may be Jon's Nissa Nissa and that Melisandre would try to stab Arya through the heart for Jon's sake.
My reasoning is that Jon currently loves Arya the most. Clearly he has feelings towards Daenerys, but she's still new to Jon and their love hasn't really built up to its full potential. Arya on the other hand, he loves his little sister so completely and unconditionally that she would be the closest he would have to a Nissa Nissa.
Needless to say, so glad that's not what happened in the show 😭😭😭 Our baby's still alive!!
