A Promised & Long-Awaited Meeting In ‘GoT’ Next Week Has Fans Hyped As Hell

“I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms, and I will,” Daenerys says at some point, and you have to assume she’s either talking to her council about Jon, or talking to the King in the North himself.

Fans have been waiting SIX SEASONS for this moment. One, or both of them, is Azor Ahai, the prince or princess that was promised. Kit Harrington joked in 2014 that when they finally met they’d either fuck or fight, and after a George R.R. Martin-led audience poll found that – shockingly – most people wanted them to fuck, Harrington suggested that Martin write it in.

Technically speaking, Daenerys is Jon’s aunt (if we accept the basically-canon-but-not-quite-confirmed-yet theory that Rhaegar Targaryen is Jon’s father), but when has something as trivial as similar DNA stopped Martin before?

The only people who know that the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea and the King in the North are related are the audience and Brandon Stark. And he’s still at Castle Black.

We know Daenerys is looking to make a marriage of alliance.

Then there’s the catch: Jon is still grieving for Ygritte, probably, when not consumed by the encroaching army of death. And marrying for power has never been part of who he was, considering he spent the first 16 years of his life more interested in his hair than girls, and the next few years trying not to break his vows of celibacy.

His unyieldingly strong moral compass might convince him this marriage is the safest way to move forward, or the only way to secure dragonglass and therefore keep Westeros safe, or in fact a disastrous decision that would only lead to more deaths in the south. WHO KNOWS.

Whatever happens, it’s a scene that has six years of anticipation behind it.

They better not fuck it up.

PREDICTION: Daenerys will be keen for a marriage of alliances. Jon will need some convincing. Dragonglass will come into the equation. He’ll come around to the idea, agree to a marriage, fall in love, then BAM! – meet up with Bran and learn of his true Targaryen lineage. Martin is cruel puppet master.

Either way, the Jonerys shippers are going fucking lose their minds.
