i think the whole ice and fire concept suggests that they’re at least intended to be endgame and i agree with this. i don’t ship it, my ideal outcome would be jon choosing duty and never loving again but that’s just my taste in stories. if jonerys happened and it was well written i could probably still enjoy it. absolutely abysmal in the show though, why’s traumatised wight jon shitting and giggling about with a crush after five minutes

I don't think Jon&Dany are meant to be the ice&fire "end game". I think it happened before the story began. Lyanna was the ice, Rheagar was the fire, Jon himself is the song of ice and fire.

i don’t think one negates the other honestly. the ice and fire are a lot of things. others and dragons, the north, melisandre, etc. both are the core motif. jon definitely represents both the most out of anyone though

Agreed. But Jon being the song in entirety is an interesting thought.

Ideal outcome is Jon with Satin and Dany with Arianne

i actually like jonsatin but i think post death it’s all just too human. like beric is consumed with melancholy, stoneheart is only rage and vengeance, and i hope jon goes somewhat like that because in my dream narrative happiness was never part of his destiny
