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.)
