So... I commented on someone's post that asked if Book Jon was called a "pretty boy" or if that was only a show thing. I said that I remembered Tormund saying something like that in the books and that I'd find the quote and report back. Except I didn't like the post or reblog it, I just commented so... I can't find it anymore and forget who asked. But! I did find the quote! So if you are out there op, here it is:

“What did you say to him? Was that the Old Tongue?” “Aye. I asked him if that was his father he was forking, they looked so much alike, except his father had a better smell.” “And what did he say to you?” Tormund Thunderfist cracked a gap-toothed smile. “He asked me if that was my daughter riding there beside me, with her smooth pink cheeks.” ~ A Storm of Swords, Jon II

Of course it could just mean he looked like a girl, not necessarily a pretty girl. But I feel like that's splitting hairs at this point. It could go either way, so the show is not wrong, book headcanon/interpretation of plainness is not wrong. Live and let live haha that will never happen lol. But regardless, Tormund's book comment can absolutely be taken as a fantasy medieval "pretty boy" comment. It doesn't have to be. But it could lol. I don't know if there are any more comments like that in the books. There were probably more comments like this in the show because Kit is pretty. But I think saying Kit was "miscast" because he was "too pretty" is maybe going too far- but that's just my opinion. (Hilariously I see a lot of posts about Harry Collett being a great fancast for book Jon Snow and though I agree... he also kind of looks a lot like Kit to me... literally a pretty boy... I'm sorry lol.)

“Queen you shall be… until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.”

“What is honor compared to a woman’s love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms … or the memory of a brother’s smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.“
