pigpiginsunspear Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 What do you think would have happened if Jon took after Rhaegar in terms of physical appearance? It seems like dumb luck that he took the Stark features. I suppose Ned could have lied and said he took someone with Valyrian features as a lover (a Dayne?).

Balerion the kitten Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 For the last time, ITS NOT BLONDE HAIR! If you type up "silver blonde hair" on Google, hardly any of the images shown could be labeled as blonde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigpiginsunspear Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Yea I mean even Cat thinks Ashara is Jon's mother. Yeah, she had dark hair though. But I agree, probably would have "confirmed" it for her... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you type up "silver blonde hair" on Google, hardly any of the images shown could be labeled as blonde. Silvery blonde hair is not the only hair type of the Targaryens. It changed from blonde to platinum in varying degrees for Targaryens with Valyrian features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm assuming they had the same hair colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm assuming they had the same hair colour. Yes and Jon as a Targaryen didnot have to have the same hair as Rhaegar. He might have had a shade lighter or darker, some random streaks of dark hair etc. Likewise, he might have been blonde or sandy brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphalesion Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Also "silver blonde" the "blonde" is right there in the name. Just like brown can vary in many different shades, so can blonde from golden over reddish to whitish silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like brown can vary in many different shades, so can blonde from golden over reddish to whitish silver. Yeah, IIRC "blond" simply refers to hair with low levels of pigment i.e light hair.

pigpiginsunspear Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Robert: Why does your bastard have silver hair and purple eyes? Eddard: Fucked a Lyseni chick. Robert: Nice. That raises questions though... I mean you're right, it can be explained away, but it's a tough especially given that it's Ned (him having a bastard is a surprise period).

The Holy Goat Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 For the last time, ITS NOT BLONDE HAIR! If you type up "silver blonde hair" on Google, hardly any of the images shown could be labeled as blonde. Silver-blonde hair is indeed blonde, just very light/pale in pigmentation.

Ferocious Veldt Roarer Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 What do you think would have happened if Jon took after Rhaegar in terms of physical appearance? It seems like dumb luck that he took the Stark features. I suppose Ned could have lied and said he took someone with Valyrian features as a lover (a Dayne?). No, he would, again, have said nothing specific and let people speculate who the mother was. Nothing really changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~DarkHorse~ Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Silver hair would be more dangerous than violet eyes. If I remember correctly, Ashara had dark hair so even that excuse would be flawed. Ned could say that Jon’s mother was a woman of Valyrian decent, but even that leaves room for doubt when there is an obvious alternative. I think Ned would be forced to leave Jon with Howland Reed at Greywater Watch, safely hidden away. He would probably regret killing the Kingsguard outside the ToJ the moment he laid eyes on the baby. They were Jon’s best protection outside himself. Although, Darkstar has silver hair and so did Arthur Dayne so depending on how trustworthy/loyal House Dayne were to Rhaegar, perhaps they could have claimed Jon as their own. Here is fanart of silver haired Jon- http://kallielef.tumblr.com/post/125946332787/winters-prince Looks good, very Icy! :cool4: Or this, dark silver hair- http://sharksden.deviantart.com/art/Jon-and-Ghost-in-Book-7-204992195 CHECK OUT GHOST!!!

Pigeon Pie Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Robert: Why does your bastard have silver hair and purple eyes? Eddard: Fucked a Lyseni chick. Robert: Nice. Exactly what I was thinking. Most Lyseni whores have Targ features, Ned could tell Robert he contacted one in Dorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
