People who go “EWWWWEWEW WHITE JON”/“now what the hell is this 💀”/just generally shit on other peoples interpretations make me want to throw something. Same goes for not fat Martin stuff. (And before anyone starts wailing, it was one line and it was implied that he was insecure about his size. And insecurity very much does not equal factuality.)

It in an audio format. The point is that it’s up to interpretation of the listener. When I entered the fandom space I was very surprised that everyone was drawing them more or less the same. I actually thought I had missed something in canon. And yeah, I eventually got “absorbed” or whatever you called it. I’m influenced by those head-canons in my own work too.

But implying that there is something wrong with someone else’s interpretation when there is objectively not is just weird behaviour. Trying to get everyone to conform to the same ideas and interpretations is erhhmmm… odd.

There’s 0 reasons why head-canonning Jon as brown is more correct than Jon as white, or vice versa.

We really should be encouraging people to create diverse art (yes, that includes pasty white men, my deepest apologies) instead of belittling or implying that there’s something wrong with it. Let people create art.
