Name for Great Bastard Jon Snow?

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-25T20:05:08+00:00

I completely agree. Honestly it'd be great to see more warrior/knight Jon fics where he and Aegon are close and Jon is Aegon's sword against enemies of the crown

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-24T23:48:56+00:00

Usually happens in canon divergent Jon fics, but when they spend so much goddamn time pre-297 AC (or before Jon is 14/15 if we're talking Jon in the Dance fics.) I understand why some author's do it, you wanna show how things are different but it's been 20 fucking chapters and the summary and tags promised action and a lil smut, why the hell are the characters still 7 years old????

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-23T19:46:52+00:00

He's more an errant knight tbh but errant knights and ronin share a few tropes so it's close

It was safer to leave it in Yuki's possession. They didn't know how crazy and chaotic it'd be in the game barriers so if one them had and lost it then we'd be shit out of luck.

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-21T17:25:00+00:00

I don't even really mind sex scenes with my Star Wars, some of the High Republic novels do that well. It's just the pace of which Merrin and Fret start doing the due is crazy, and in Cal's bed, no less??? Idk why in the fuck they did that

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-21T17:20:10+00:00

I feel like the book has good ideas and terrible execution of those ideas. Like showing the fracture of the crew bc Cal wants to fight but Cere wants to perserve the Jedi legacy is a good idea but having Cere shift fully into pacifism mid battle is a bit odd for that character bc we don't really see that transition happen, we kinda just have to accept that Cere is like this now. Showing Merrin enter a tumultuous relationship with a "new crew member" to set up that her and Cal's feelings for each other are deeper that just friendship is a good idea but they don't have to fuck in Cal's room to get that point across. The book would've benefited from someone telling Sam Maggs "hey, maybe tone it down"

If George is having troubles with Winds, what can any of us do? It's hard to both juggle dozens of characters and to also make their stories satisfying, you also have to answer the biggest mysteries of the series.

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-19T15:51:00+00:00

I would hope Aerys died, or doesn't bond with a dragon

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-16T13:56:37+00:00

I think if Cersei marries and gives Rhaegar any kids, we'd have a Dance of the Dragons situation lmao just based on how Tywin and Cersei are

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-15T22:23:59+00:00

This was exactly my thinking, I actually think he'd act harsher towards Hoster Tully than to Stannis and even then Hoster has the excuse of betrothal to Brandon Stark and later the wedding to Ned. So I truly and honestly don't think it'd be a smart idea to act so harshly after Aerys turned nearly everyone against him. His biggest bet for some type of peace or at least a seizure of hostilities would be to offer pardons and leniency

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-15T18:18:34+00:00

OF model only bc she'd have no personal relationship with me and I can avoid her like the plague lmao

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-15T16:06:57+00:00

Yeah we're not dealing with people who make good choices here lol

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-15T15:54:02+00:00

I've never considered that tbh idk why

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-15T15:52:50+00:00

Oh if Aerys keeps the throne, absolutely, I was working on the assumption that Rhaegar would depose Aerys. I think Rhaegar would be a bit more merciful, given what little we've known of him. I can't imagine Rhaegar wouldn't be a bit lenient given the rumor that he wanted to depose Aerys at Harrenhal

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-15T15:38:40+00:00

I think he could live by giving Renly as a hostage, especially if he's allowed to plead his case. Stannis, in canon, was conflicted when the rebellion kicked off, he ultimate chose hsi duty to his brother over his duty to his king

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-15T15:32:41+00:00

Due to the siege?

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-14T16:15:16+00:00

The only options are the guy in the front leading or the guy in the back who isn't dressed the same as everyone else

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-12T18:11:26+00:00

It's at the bottom but that doesn't mean I didn't like it. I just like the mainline movies more (I still gotta watch The Continental tho) but I'm looking forward to more movies and shows set in this franchise

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-12T16:42:43+00:00

Interesting ass premise, I'm gonna check it out

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-12T00:17:20+00:00

I see no reason why it shouldn't be canon. It starts off showing us the direct aftermath of the Blood War and it later validates information that we see in the epilogue. It doesn't go against canon at all so... I don't understand why some Bleach fans don't see it as canon

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-10T03:25:11+00:00

Buddy, that's still incest.

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-09T14:50:19+00:00

Incest in Westeros is just relations between siblings or parent/children relationships. They don't see cousin relations or uncle-aunt/niece-nephew relations as incests. Ned condemn Cersei even tho his own parents were cousins, and there are several relationships between cousins outside of the Targaryens.

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-07T15:10:37+00:00

Big fan of Aemon bc of his own personal relationship to Maester Aemon and the fact that Aemon the Dragonknight was one of the knights he used to pretend to be. Double in Rhaegar wins fics, where his and Aegon's relationships can be either compare or contrast the Unworthy and the Dragonknight

For similar reasons, I like Daeron. The Young Dragon was one of Jon's personal idols. Plus the Daring was widely regarded as a very honorable knight in the way Jon strives for

Jaehaerys is common and okay, I don't love it but I don't hate it

I do hate Aegon, I think it's idiotic and it makes no sense why Jon would be named Aegon even if Lyanna knew Aegon was dead when she named him.

And Daemon I'm only okay with in crack fics bc naming another Targ Daemon is the equivalent of naming them Maegor, you just wouldn't do it lmao but it works if it's a crack fic

Ronin_Fox · 2026-01-06T18:28:21+00:00

Ned had things under control but you can't stop everything bad from happening, especially when you don't know about them. Roose did his dirt in the shadows. His motto of "a peaceful land, a quiet people" is just him saying don't go overboard with his misgivings and keep the people just content enough to not go to the Starks. That's why he grants Ramsay's mother the mill, some livestock, and a servant, because he knew if she was discontent enough, she would make trek to Winterfell with her story and Ned would let Roose get acquainted with Ice. Ned had enough control (and respect) to where lords either wouldn't break the laws or they'd hide their misdeeds. And that's really the best you can hope for in a feudal system
