ToTheWolves Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'm pretty sure the answer to this one is pretty obvious,but it can be fun to speculate on what could or would of happened. I Half-way kind of think jon wouldn't have been able to talk Robb out of marrying the westerling girl because if jon had marched south with Robb I don't think he would have became the same Jon that went on to become LC(hope that makes sense) what do you guys think?ALSO! How awesome would it have been to see Robb,Jon,Greywind & ghost all fighting along side each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb_Warged Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 ALSO! How awesome would it have been to see Robb,Jon,Greywind & ghost all fighting along side each other.Kind of one of the biggest reasons his death hurt me so much. It wasn't so much that it happened, it's more that it happened before him and Jon could meet up again and go adventuring. I know he needed to die when he died to farther the plot, it just felt like Robb was robbed of a lot of good interactions with friends and enemies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Guy Garlan Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Considering Jon's "I will never have a bastard!" outburst and the fact that he clearly had a chip on his shoulder regarding his status as a bastard, I think Jon would have been more likely to talk Robb into marrying Jeyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaTechPC Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think Jon would have filled in for their father in a way and reminded Robb of his duty to marry a Frey and keep his vows and honor. But then it would have been a different story than the one GRRM is telling and would likely not be anywhere near as good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Damian Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 anyone who was close to him would have but he was far away from his loved ones and that made him vulnerable. Everyone in his family would have reminded him of his vow / pledge to Walder Frey, even his father would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGOT Jon, I agree. Later ADWD Jon would have put the realm above Jeyne - but a Jon who goes to war with Robb is neither AGOT nor ADWD Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRANDON GREYSTARK Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The incident with Jeyne would have never occurred . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLittleFinger Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It wouldn't have happened since Jon would have died with Jaime Lannister's sword through his throat at the Whispering Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyenon15 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I doubt it, Jon would cower as soon as Robb says something like "ur not a Stark" or "this isn't your house" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon stark I Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Jon wouldn't talk him out of marriage because he would be there to share his grief and Robb wouldn't seek comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Lord's Daughter Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Jon wouldn't talk him out of marriage because he would be there to share his grief and Robb wouldn't seek comfort.Yep. Robb was vulnerable at that moment because there was no one but Jeyne with whom mourn with. He'll, even if his mom was there, I don't think he would have needed Jeyne. Even if it did happen, Jon would try to stop Robb. In ASOS, Jon leaves Ygritte to save the night's watch. I can see Jon convincing Robb to do his duty to the Freys.

Red Tiger Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Most definitely. Of the two brothers, Jon inherited his father's level headed, calm, and smart personality. On the opposite end, Robb inherited his mother's compulsive, reckless, and stupid behavior that cost both of them their lives. Extremely harsh and somewhat sexist...also 100% true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Whether Jon was present or not, Robb's motivations were mostly influenced on the fact that he knows what life has been for Jon as a bastard. I think what Jon could have told Robb was to not have sex with Jeyne, as he was already betrothed to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb going with some girl out of lust/love/whatever instead of the right one and dooming his family is something that he seemed to have inherited from Jon's FATHER, actually...

Pod The Impaler Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The incident with Jeyne would have never occurred . Jon would of been in that room cock blocking with all his Eddardness. If he had been there, yes. Or maybe Jeyne would have bedded Jon instead. But of course, if Jon was not in the Watch, he'd probably have been castellan of Winterfell, not the ill-fated combo of Rodrik and Bran. Winterfell doesn't get taken, Bran and Rickon do not seem murdered, and Robb doesn't ended up getting "comforted" by Jeyne. So many different scenarios.
