I Don't Know How Else To Say It: Jon Snow Comes From Two Long Lines Of Reckless Magical Bullshit And

i don't know how else to say it: jon snow comes from two long lines of reckless magical bullshit and is basically a melting pot of feral royal blood but that's less important than the fact that he was raised by ned stark.

Staring into your most beloathed’s soul like nobody's business-

They are not beating the red-blue allegations, they are apart of it 🤣✊

book!Sansa

a little after Ned gets Jon he asks the wet nurse a bunch of baby questions and she casually mentions infants totally change eye and hair colors sometimes (Ned almost kills himself on the spot) so he and Howland end up frantically inventing mendelian inheritance genetics on the ride back home. except now Cat keeps catching him in the nursery with a tray of pea plants and a notepad staring at baby Jon with the intensity of One Thousand Suns and she’s like my lord is this some first men tradition? you do not perform this ritual for Robb :( and Ned just has to be like……aye tis a sacred offering to the old gods. for bastards only. no one else may witness, forgive me.

sansa and tyrion's marriage is interesting from tyrion's perspective. he is canny enough to understand that she is only saying things to please and mollify him, but he also genuinely thinks that she is "so dutiful" that she would tell him what she prays for in her frequent visits to the sept (and he thinks she's excessively pious). as the reader we know she's praying for lannister annihilation and would never admit this out loud, but tyrion doesn't seem to really... get that sansa hates him and his family. even after everything, the multiple beatings, being terrorized by joffrey, the entire forced marriage, THE MURDER OF HER DEAR BELOVED DAD - he has a perception of her as a simple dutiful girl whose inner world consists of piety and supplication. that her prayers are a form of resistance and escape doesn't occur to him. he also exercises a very similar lack of understanding with shae - he thinks she's angry with him bc she lost her jewels and silks, not bc she is scared of her unstable position.
