#jonsa asks

I do think there would be some backlash from stans simply because Jonsa has been regarded by certain fans as a crack ship. Most Jonsa shippers have been called delusional by other “factions” of the fandom, and the reveal would force these people to eat their words.

That being said, I think the Jonsa ending would have been fairly well received by the GA. It makes sense for this story and its themes. Several group reactions I’ve watched have discussed the possibility of Jon and Sansa being romantically involved. I enjoy group reactions because it gives you a better idea of what the GA thinks—not everyone in a large group will agree, but discussion typically leads to some good ideas being thrown around.

Many, many members of the GA have picked up on both the Jonsa vibes and the logic of a union between the two. I’ve even seen reactors who are DT stans admit that a marriage between Jon and Sansa would make the most political sense.

All in all I feel that, if handled properly, Jon proclaiming his love for Sansa would be a lightbulb moment. Not only are they a power couple who have learned to rely on one another, but their entire journeys as characters shadow each other from the moment they’re introduced. They personify the validation the other needs—that’s portrayed pretty clearly in the show up until, and even in, the final season.

Jon and Sansa could have confessed their feelings in this scene and it would have made sense. From a purely intellectual point of view, this moment comes off as romantic. Every good scene begins with a broad problem and narrows down until it reaches its true quandary. Their respective questions at the end are:

(Jon) Do you trust me?

(Sansa) Do you love her?

Jon needs Sansa’s trust. Sansa needs Jon’s love. That is the purpose of this scene.

big mood. 

ill never get over them. ill never get over what could have been, what was so obviously set up and then pushed aside. there was so much potential for the story of jonsa- from the moment they found each other again in season 6, their stories became intertwined and became something special. jon’s vow to protect her restored her faith in men and life. sansa’s mere existence gave jon’s resurrection true meaning. he was brought back to life HOURS, DAYS, before sansa came to him at castle black. what the FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO KNOWING THAT? IGNORE IT? not happening.

sansa gave jon purpose again- gave him something he wanted to protect at all costs. jon gave sansa protection and love. they needed each other so much. together they learned to navigate their worlds that had been built on abuse & betrayal. in each other, they had found a reason to live again.

The entire north:

it’s truuuuueeeeeee

it’s canon. there’s no taking it back. there’s no changing it. jon has killed to protect sansa & his family. sansa (& arya) killed to protect jon & their family. and sansa told a secret she’d been sworn to keep the whole damn realm safe from a tyrant queen.

she absolutely wouldn’t allow that. 

you’re right anon, jon is a social outcast, no matter how you look at it. the targaryen name was looked down on & so is being a bastard. the poor guy had no chance. he had to earn respect & it took time & effort on his part. some would never look at him twice with the bastard status alone!! but he won the north over and EARNED his title as King in the North. it was his loyalty to house stark and the north that got him where he ended up. 

the north wouldn’t allow it either. that’s their king, that’s their queen’s family. they were ready to fight for him back at king’s landing DESPITE having just fought two previous battles (one being a battle they didn’t even want to participate in). the men were injured and tired but they were WILLING to fight for jon. 

Sansa whenever anyone asks:
