Oh boy, another fan theory! This one oughta be a doozy, they usually are! Let’s dive in together folks and find out what could be behind fan door number 1.
And so, dear reader, we return to the world of “Game Of Thrones” theories.
What shall we learn about today? Will the Night King go somewhere besides Winterfell?
Will Jon shrink down and go up Cersei’s butt, then expand until she’s destroyed? Wait… Hold on…
RELATED STORIES
While that last one might not be all that likely (or maybe it’s for some other piece of media)
People are abuzz on what might happen for Season 8. Not just for the next episode either. Oh no, there are some people who are trying to guess the end.
As in, who’s going to win the Iron Throne.
Nobody knows for sure who it’s going to be, except maybe the creators and the cast, but the fans sure do want to talk about it.
However, some fans think they know who it will be.
And it’s all because of one squire’s choice of song. Ahh, young Podrick. Can you do any wrong, my sweet summer child?
Let me set the scene for you:
It’s near the end of the second episode of season 8.
Tyrion Lannister, Jaime Lannister, Brienne of Tarth, Davos Seaworth, Podrick Payne and Tormund Giantsbane all sit around a fire.
When Tyrion asks for a song.
Most of them decline, content to live out their last moments in peace, but Podrick steps up to the plate and sings them a lovely little number that sets our hearts aflutter.
You see, the tune he sang is called “Jenny’s Song”
And it might just reveal who will win this Game of Thrones… if Jon and Daenerys survive the battle.
The song tells the story of Jenny of Oldstones
The wife of the Prince of Dragonflies Duncan Targaryen. Which, as far as husbands go, is a pretty decent one to have.
However, because Duncan had to break off an existing marriage to be with Jenny…
His father, King Aegon (the fifth), made him give up his claim to the throne. Yeesh, the things you do for love!
Then, Prince Duncan is killed.
And the song, from then on, takes a pretty somber tone. It actually follows the events of Tragedy at Summerhall, where King Aegon tries to hatch dragon eggs and burns down the castle.
But I digress.
We might actually see some parallels between this and two of our characters: Jon and Daenerys. You see, right after the song, Jon reveals to Daenerys that he’s actually Targaryen-born.
This could mean he’s giving up his claim to rule…
… For love. Because of the parallels in the song. First off, ew, because they’re aunt and nephew. This is Westeros. Not Kentucky.
Then again, as the last male Targaryen, he is the rightful heir.
Then again… again, Daenerys is no stranger to breaking down barriers for women.
She’s really a modern day… or at least a pinnacle of Feminism. You go girl!
It could, of course, be neither of them.
It could be Sansa. It could be Tyrion. Heck, my bet is, of course, still with my boy Podrick. Imagine all the good he could do for Westeros?
Who do you think will take the iron throne?
Will it be a Lannister? A Stark? A Targaryen? A Mad Alien from the planet Titan with all six Infinity Stones? Oh, shoot, I did it again.
