Juliet Burke Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I've read some posts on this forum that Jon Snow is bi. But I don't understand why people think so. Some of them say that Jon spends a lot of time thinking about Satin's beauty. But where is it in the books? He thinks in ASOS during the battle that Satin, despite being pretty and looking like a girl, is not bad archer. But that is all. Other mentions about Satin's beauty are just author's descriptions. I always think Jon made Satin his own steward to protect him. Jon likes helping people with hard destiny. So why do people think he is bi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bowl of brown Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I think it's mostly done fairly tongue in cheek. Similar to Nedbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 haha. It may be that I'm partly to blame for your confusion OP. I think it's a "shipping" thing. Some people Ship Jon and Satin. *If I have to use the word ship again...I may die* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkel Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I think it's mostly done fairly tongue in cheek. Similar to Nedbert Yeah it's mostly a joke, I think. But there are some people who see gay or bi people everywhere, so that probably plays into it too. I never read anything like that in Jon's comments on Satin, the closest he comes to being into men is the fact that Ygritte is more butch than he is :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellfoy Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Jon's comments about Satin just shows that Jon is not prejudiced or can overpass prejudices and he's ok with having a gay buddy like his daddy.I guess he could be bisexual, most humans are more or less bisexual IMO but for now, the Jon/Satin is just a shipping joke.

Collis Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I always thought of it more as a joke. It could be those more...rainbow inclined looking for sexual deviancy any place they can find them *shrug*. If you squint hard enough at anything you'll find what you're looking for. That being said, Snowsatin: The Tale of a Lovestruck Male Prostitute and the Lord Commander.

Mikkel Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I don't know if Satin is even gay (he probably is, but still). He was simply born in a brothel, and consequently worked as a male prostitute, presumably servicing men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryden Tully Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Jon wandered through the dark with his crutch under one arm, and the other around the shoulders of a boy who’d been a whore in Oldtown. “It was the priestess we were laughing at,” said Satin, a lithe and pretty youth It shall not end until my death.” … He could smell the sweet scent Satin combed into his beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Warning Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 It's either tongue in cheek or people trying to crowbar in more non-heterosexual characters. Which is quite common in a lot of fandoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliet Burke Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 And where did you find Jon's thoughts about Satin's beauty? It is just author's descriptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Crannogman Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I think some people use it as a jokey counter-argument to people who ship Jon and Dany and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tf13 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I guess we could also throw that Satin may be a female in disguise. Danny Flint anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet199 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 To be honest the lack of a "gay for the duration" attitude at the wall seemed a bit unrealistic to me. The NW are a bit too noble and starchy for a bunch of thieves and rapists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KINGpanther Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Jon haters using a few 'Satin' related comments to stir up Jon fans. I wouldn't even be bothered if Jon was bi but I don't think he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
