A Storm of Swords, George R. R. Martin
Catelyn *strategizing* : Arya will become more refined and ladylike if she lives in the South
Ned (literally five minutes later)*making posters*: I am looking for a man who could teach swordplay to a nine year old girl.
If Jon Snow doesn’t break into a Disneyesque song along the lines of “someday my princess will come—with dragons—to save me from the evil demon faeries” sometime during Winds, then what’s the point??
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.
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.
