Harry Beefing With Not-even-16 Year Old Scorpius Will Never Not Be Funny To Me. He Sees The Genuine Embodiment

Bringing back something I wrote seven years ago back on Reddit:

Jon Snow and Baby Switcheroo

I have an appreciation for Jon's ability to manipulate and scheme. From his first scene in AGOT he showed a gift at manoeuvring a situation into his favor, but the baby switch cements this ability the best I think.

First, its important to note that Jon doesn't rush into his lie and swap out of nowhere, he lays the groundwork and plans meticulously.

“Sire, some claim that you mean to grant lands and castles to Rattleshirt and the Magnar of Thenn.”

“Who told you that?”

*The talk was all over Castle Black*. “If you must know, I had the tale from Gilly.” - Jon I ADWD

He says something of which he'd heard rumors of, but he assigns the blame to Gilly so as to alienate Stannis further from her. By doing this, he deliberately leads Stannis into the conversation where he can mention sending Gilly off without drawing any attention or reprimand from the king who practically controls Wildling lives on the Wall.

“The wet nurse,” said Lady Melisandre. “Your Grace gave her freedom of the castle.”

“Not for running tales. She’s wanted for her teats, not for her tongue. I’ll have more milk from her, and fewer messages.”

“Castle Black needs no useless mouths,” Jon agreed. “I am sending Gilly south on the next ship out of Eastwatch.”

Jon is very good at reading people, and he uses that to his advantage by associating Gilly more and more with the things he knows Stannis dislikes and he does it covertly.

The king was confused. “I thought the wet nurse was this man Craster’s daughter?”

“Wife and daughter both, Your Grace. Craster married all his daughters. Gilly’s boy was the fruit of their union.”

“Her own father got this child on her?” Stannis sounded shocked. “We are well rid of her, then. I will not suffer such abominations here. This is not King’s Landing.”

He plays on Stannis' prejudice to achieve his goal.

Finally-

Melisandre : “Gilly is giving suck to Dalla’s son as well as her own. It seems cruel of you to part our little prince from his milk brother, my lord.”

Careful now, careful. “Mother’s milk is all they share. Gilly’s son is larger and more robust. He kicks the prince and pinches him, and shoves him from the breast. Craster was his father, a cruel man and greedy, and blood tells.” - Jon I ADWD

The above is what he says but in the next chapter this is what he thinks:

Gilly’s boy was older, Dalla’s more robust, but they were close enough in age and size so that no one who did not know them well would be able to easily tell one from the other. - JON II ADWD

He will die at sea, he thought, despairing. He is too old to survive such a voyage. Gilly's little son may die as well, he's not as large and strong as Dalla's boy. Does Jon mean to kill us all? - SAM I AFFC

Jon even swaps the physiques of the babies when describing them to Stannis in order to confuse him further and eliminate a chance of them being identified correctly. He further uses that incorrect physique to push the rhetoric of Gilly's babe being an "abomination" covertly to Stannis. Jon hammers out the details of the lie meticulously, not leaving any scope for failure by being vague. He goes all the way.

I think its an aspect of Jon's character people don't notice or credit much because it isn't at the forefront the way it is for Tyrion, but he too is capable of playing the game. I don't understand when people dismiss Jon's abilities in manipulation or write him off. He's often navigated such situations masterfully and shows himself great at reading people and what moves them from the very first book.

I think some people are reading too much into the Zava/Jamie dynamic, not in the sense that it’s not weird or condescending but in the sense that I think y’all are giving Zava too much credit. I simply don’t think he cared enough about Richmond to know that much about who was their “best player” because once he was there it would be him. What he does care about is the fact that only one person in that locker room was clearly not worshipping him. Dani and Jamie were both strikers and both aces but the way Zava treats them is very different, because Dani worships the ground he walks on and Jamie doesn’t. And let’s be real, Jamie doesn’t have the locker room influence that he used to. In S1, sure, he was the king, but he lost that cred after returning to Man City, and when he came back to Richmond, he wasn’t able to claw it back until the Dubai Air protest. Even after that, his influence is enough to have a good camaraderie and be respected as a teammate and leader, but it’s not the “bully the kitman because it makes me laugh” influence that he had before. If anyone has that influence after S1, it’s Isaac, Sam, and Dani, but Zava sees no need to condescend to them because they’re already on his side. The way Zava acts toward Jamie doesn’t read to me as “I took your spot, what are you gonna do about it,” it reads much more as “they all love me, you should get with the program.” It’s in no way a fight for dominance, mainly because Jamie isn’t really fighting back. It’s more like a cult leader trying to force an unwilling sheep into the flock. (And Rebecca, the only other person that doesn’t like him, is spared this treatment because A she’s a woman and B she sits in a position of power external to the dynamics of the team and coaching staff.)

Bro can we talk about how Scorpius and Albus are MENACES

I'm tired of them being the shy bullied boys.

Show me the destroying there bullies with psychological WARFARE

With Albus's sneakiness and potions ability and Scorpius's knowledge and planning ... They could come up with purely DIABOLICAL plans

These are the boys who escaped the Hogwarts Express ( when THE MARAUDERS AND FRED AND GEORGE couldn't even get OFF the train) and where HALF WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY before they even REALIZED they where gone.

These are the boys who BROKE into not only the Ministry of magic but the MISTER OF MAGICS OFFICE and STOLE a TIME TUNER

Not to mention their RICH like RICH RICH. Cost of materials is no issue PLUS Albus's uncle runs a JOKE SHOP

Throw in the Cloak and the Map and they DESTROY anyone who bothers them. They'd be THE BEST people to have on your side in a prank war.

I'm just making these in hope more people will believe this theory, but we see many times how they reference that "the dragon has three heads".

This comes from the sigil of house Targaryen, and the fact that it was three people that conquered Westeros.

One interesting thing comes from maester aemon in the chapters from Sam's pov, when he is talking of Rhaegar and him trying to understand the prophecy and them looking for a boy, saying how they were wrong about it:

"...What fools we were, who thought ourselves so wise! The error crept in from the translation. Dragons are neither male nor female"

Notice how he says specifically "Dragons", making us asume that in the original text the term was of a dragon.

We know from many sources that it is not weird for Targaryen or any valiryan descendent to denominate themselves dragons, or with the blood of the dragon, and this term is also used by the people in general in westeros.

It would not be difficult to believe that for that, the people that knew about the text would interpret it as if it was a person.

Making this clear, let's get back to the many mentions of "the dragon has three heads".

If the text mentions a dragon, but we know that "the dragon" is conformed by three people, then it would not be crazy to assume that tptwp is not about one person.

There is a lot more to add about this theory and one of the best videos I have seen is on youtube:

Watching Dexter as a teenager: Wow... I'm just like him... fucked up, evil, a monster. Other people are alien to me. I don't feel the way other people do. An outcast among my peers, just trying to blend in. A psychopath. A wolf in sleeps' clothing. I-

Watching Dexter now: Oh my God he's autistic

jon being rhaegar's visenya as in being the missing head to complete his dragon, jon recieving darksister from bloodraven at some point, jon riding rhaegal who is vhagar reincarnated, jon being visenya

I’m just gonna leave this here.
