‘Shiptober: What will the Joneyrs future be on Game of Thrones season 8?
We should start here by noting that there was a time when we didn’t even think that such a pairing was possible. After all, Jon Snow a.k.a. Aegon Targeryan and Daenerys were in separate stories for the better part of six seasons! They came together in season 7, but still don’t realize one of the most important things about their relationship: They’re actually related. They may have a deep connection and can relate to each other as leaders in a way that few others can, but there is another issue at the heart of their relationship that they haven’t had a chance to take on yet.
So when season 8 premieres, what are the odds that these two stay together for longer than an episode once the truth comes out? We thought we’d lay out the case for it, given that there are ways you could see this happening and not happening over the course of the final season.
The case for Jonerys – It really comes down to the fact that the two relate to one another in a way that others cannot. Much of that stems from the fact that they’ve gone through a lot and few others would understand. Aside from the physical connection, they’re both rather lonely. They may have armies of people, but none of those people are on their level and can see things in the world the way in which they do.
Ultimately, we feel like the longer the two stay together after the truth comes out, the less likely it is that the two ever break up.
The case against Jonerys – One of the biggest things that you say against this is rather simple: Incest. It’s not just that they are related, but that Daenerys is very acutely aware of her family’s history. This could trigger something in her to want to flee the situation to the best of her ability. We don’t blame her for that, but she may have to be okay with the possibility that she won’t have feelings for anyone else on the same level that she does Jon.
Regardless of whether or not Jonerys stay together in the end, we’re sure that their story is not over. We have a feeling that there is going to be something more for them, romantic or otherwise, in the story coming up over the remainder of this season.
Do you think that Jonerys will still be a thing by the Game of Thrones series finale?
