Śliczny, śliczny rozdział! (Chociaż zostałam skrzywiona i nie potrafię już czytac frazy 'making love' bez przypomnienia sobie długiego i barwnego wykładu Lottie o tym, że 'making love' to tylko i wyłącznie eufemizm na zły seks ;>) Chyba najlepiej uchwycony Jon do tej pory - BARDZO podobały mi się te wszystkie nawiązania do przeszłości, porównania, angst ładny i delikatny ;) Fajnie się wychwytuje te momenty, w których Sansa gra - no i te, w których na jakieś spostrzeżenie jej dotyczące robisz 'oj, Jon, taki naiwny', ale hej, to JEST w stylu Jona, więc wszystko dobrze ;) Scena z Aemonem była przeurocza ♥

[girlupnorth]

Moja Wspaniała Beta z kolei narzekała na 'making love' w którymś rozdziale Sansy XD i po namyśle zamieniłam. Z tym, że akurat według mnie Jon ma w odniesieniu do Sansy te różne pomysły w stylu dworskiej miłości etc., i dlatego mnie tu 'making love' pasuje. I dlatego też Jon ma te różne (fałszywe) wyobrażenia na temat Sansy.(Nie wspominając o unreliability of 3rd person narrator - Faulkner, tej XD)

Przy tym rozdziale odkryłam, że angst się tworzy dosyć łatwo. A jeszcze łatwiej się przedobrza ;D

A jeśli chodzi o Aemona, mam dziwne skłonności do obdarzania bohaterów masą uroczych dzieci XD Chyba czas się leczyć.

[novin_ha]

Obdarzanie bohaterów uroczymi dziećmi jako dowodem ich szczęścia = heteronormatywne. Zuo.

Ha, jednak zmieniłaś? \o/

[girlupnorth]

Ale to nie jest jako dowód ich szczęścia! Dzieci jako takie to naturalna kolej rzeczy, a ich uroczość to moja skłonność do sunshine, roses and puppies XD

Jon has so much of his uncle in him, and I feel so sad for him that he is being played.

[girlupnorth]

So do I. But I'm already overly inclined to lay paths of sunshine, roses and puppies in front of everyone, and I had to hold myself back so as not to make this too easy for everyone. And so poor Jon got to suffer.

[lodessa]

I know... and it is really his fate no matter how you skew the canon that he is going to be doing the suffering.

[novin_ha]

You don't gloss over the ugly side, but you don't go all indignant and righteous on the asses of the characters - which is perfect, because much as Jon might have romantic ideals, this is a 'verse in which adultery is pretty much matter-of-fact.

Not that Daenerys wouldn't go medieval on his arse if she ever found out.

What I find interesting is that your Jon seems to have even more pleasure in finding pretty ways to explain his ugly deeds than in committing them. See: his opinion that he shall have to PROTECT Sansa from her husband. In a way, he manages to focus on a way in which he is yet again the Good one, and not the Bad one. He's not the man sleeping with another man's wife - he's a man who's going to protect a woman from her jealous husband.

[also, how phallocentric is that?]

He wonders how his son would find himself as a king, having spent his youth watching Jon, stagger helplessly between his duties. He wishes that the boy would be able to learn from his lord father’s mistakes.I really liked this part. This is a Jon I

[girlupnorth]

It's funny, because I already would have written Jon in a very different way ;)

But this thing about Aemon, and not being good enough a king is, I think, quite true to what we know of Jon from canon; he had these feelings of inadequacy, from his bastard status through... well, everything else, right?

I'm really happy that you enjoyed this chapter - it was one of the more problematic parts for me to write.
