Jon and Dany

[Mechaniik]

How about (a bit melodramatic I know), Dany is killed by Arya, who dies herself (I.E. Ice and Fire both dying) and Jon Targaryen survives (Ice and Fire) survives.

Man, I'm glad to see that the theory (which I've had since book 2) of Jon being Rhaegar's and Lyanna's child is finally gaining credence; it's always made perfect sense! Knowing that he couldn't let his sister's child be slaughtered, Ned smears his own honor with a lie - that he fathered a ******* - and raises him as his own. Since the Tarayagens wed each other, he and Danaerys (his aunt ewwwww) are a match...though there is a thought that the third Tarayagen could be a girl as well....hmmmmmm.

...though there is a thought that the third Tarayagen could be a girl as well....hmmmmmm.

WTF? Did I miss something but the only other theories about other closet Targs all involve men:
-Tyrion (******* of Aerys)
-baby Aegon survived: Alleras? Darkstar?
-Varys

And who is this third Targ and who says there are three, except the three heads of the dragon notion but I do not believe this precisely means that there are three Targs?

 

[the smiling weirwood]

First of all, Alleras the Sphinx is Sarella Sand and therefore could not be baby Aegon.

Secondly, I agree with TK. I don't think there are three scions of the Targaryens left. I want to believe it's only Dany, but the Jon theory has such a ring to it that try as I might I can't completely discount it. The three heads are the means by which Dany will triumph. Triumph over who or what we can't know at this point.

I read Magatsu-San's post the other day and was perplexed as well. All the other hidden Targ candidates are male... except for a few ridiculous suggestions like Cersei and Shae.

BUT...

How closely will Dany's arrival coincide with Aegon the Conqueror's? If it is to be vaguely similar then Dany and two males will suffice. But if it is to be almost an exact re-enactment, then mayhaps Dany will need one male and one female.

Could Magatsu-San be on to something here? Have we overlooked a hidden female Targaryen?

Just for the sake of being the first one to offer up a candidate and for the fact that I've not given you all any preposterous ideas in a while, I'll go first...

Arya.

1. She looks like none of her siblings. She looks like Jon. Jon might be a Targ. Therefore Arya might be a Targ.

2. Maybe the real Arya Stark was stillborn. Maybe Ned and Luwin (or maybe just Luwin under orders from Aemon) switched the stillborn with an unknown Targaryen princess in hiding.

3. The name Arya might really be Aerya... a very Targaryen sounding name.

4. Aegon's two sisters were warlike. In fact, they rode dragons into battle. Arya has already killed at least six people and ordered the deaths of dozens more.

5. Whenever Jon thought about Ygritte, he often also thought about Arya. He compared Ygritte to Arya on multiple occasions. Jon might be a Targ... so it's only natural that he feel a romantic connection to Arya.

6. We know that Jeyne Poole is now the new Arya Stark. But what if Arya Stark is not the real Arya Stark? What if the Arya we know is the second Arya (the old switched at birth ploy)? So on many levels we wonder Who is Arya? Where is Arya? Wheels within wheels...

7. Aerya Targaryen is already on the right continent to find Dany... just like her kinsman Tyraen Targaryen.

Very nice idea it has to be said but Arya is the very essence of a Stark through and through. She looks like her aunt, Lady Lyanna, and she has the classic long face and dark hair (so does Jon I know I'll get to that) and her eyes don't have that mysterious feel like Jon's do. His are so dark they could be black but it could just be an extremely dark purple. Hers are just common brown I think. Or whatever colour she has

It's by all means possible, and I'll certainly be thinking about it from time to time when I'm reading the new book and hear something mentioned about Arya, but I'm just not sure if it could be plausible just yet.

 

[Boaz]

GoH, Thanks for being polite. But postulating a Targ origin for Arya is preposterous from the get go... I'm just trying to stir the pot a little and get you guys thinking of potential female Targs.

 

[TK-421]

Keep stirring, brother!

I think when I read your post Boaz, I spit out my drink because of the gag reflex. Arya...pffffff....

Sorry, if that post was not as polite, but friends don't let friends do crack.

There are no plausible female Targs. I would accept Tyrion being one before any of the female characters we have so far been introduced to in the series.

 

[Tansy]

ah but in her new trade couldn't Arya appear to be whoever she choses



sorry just being bad
