#r plus l equals j
“Not my mother, Jon thought stubbornly. He knew nothing of his mother, Eddard Stark would not talk of her. Yet he dreamed of her at times, so often that he could almost see her face. In his dreams, she was beautiful, and highborn, and her eyes were kind.” –Jon Snow thought about his mother (Game of Thrones, Jon chapter)
In the end, everything will be back as it should be.
Whether he lives, or dies. Let him in peace.

in my prior incarnation as a teenage asoiaf stan i didn’t care about r + l = j at all like i didn’t have any idea of it until i saw it theorized on here and i was like hmmm seems likely but i didn’t really care about it and now i’m like. i still don’t care about like Jon Having Targ Blood and i don’t give a flying fuck about Rhaegar BUT i was literally reading agot shaking like a leaf like oh my god it’s everywhere it’s like laced into every ned chapter this massive secret lurking under the surface in a way that’s sooooo fascinating and that i totally didn’t pick up on when i was fifteen and i think it really adds a lot to NED’S character more than anything tbh.
R+L=J is much more about what Ned did in his past than what Jon will do in his future
