And all the while, I could only think of The Lonely Island song, “I Fucked My Aunt”.

To struggle in vain to make him self look taller was his arc.

And, having though of this a bit more, we now know that Robert’s Rebellion and the current conflict are both built on lies. Doesn’t that show the importance of Jon’s decision to stand by honor and honesty?

(knowing nothing is an understatement) I thought his highest priority is the great war. He made the same great mistakes as both Ned and Robb. Thinking with his dick and sticking with his…
