    Personal theory is that if Jon had looked Valyrian, Ned would have asked house Dayne to raise him. Still a very honorable house, if he were raised a bastard then Dorne wouldnt think less of him for it, and it could potentially be used as a way to help Ashara. Especially helps when you consider the Daynes were probably the main supporters of the Tower of Joy in terms of food and manpower

      If there Is a Stark/Dayne bastard down there that's Allyria Dayne, the one who was bethroted to Beric Dondarrion. It's really hard to tell cause her age remains unknown and that could be a good clue or a totally useless clue to speculate....

    I think if he didn’t look like a stark, cat would hate him less. Robb looks like a Tully, and a big reason she hated Jon was being worried that Jon would steal Winterfell. If he don’t look like a stark that level of hatred and fear is gone

      How Jon looks is probably the lowest reason in importance why Catelyn hates him. Jon could be an exact copy of his supposed mother and Catelyn would still hate the exact same, the only way Catelyn would hate Jon less would be if she never saw him in person

      Sending him to the wall would be the best option for northerners, the wall in the north is still seen as an honor for the most part, having Lord Karstark rot in a cell until the war is over would not be seen as honorable and killing him or imprisoning him would be both seen as dishonorable.

    Ive heard tell that living a life in squalor while knowing that he was a royal slowly ate away at his psyche. Things like having to pawn off his legacy to make ends meet. Even Dany comments that Viserys was a good brother once, when he used to tell her tales of home.

      if viserys didn't become an unhinged psychopath, he wouldn't have agreed to marrying off dany to a khal, so then ilyrio might never get the idea to gift her those dragon eggs. viserys and dany would marry when she's of marrying age, and they would have had to approach the golden company by sheer virtue of them being targs and would have had to make promises if not outright pay them with their meager fortune. they would still end up running out of resources, dragonless, but there's a chance viserys would learn how to be a proper knight and forge their own destiny in essos.

    I think Ned went to Starfall partly to tell them he was going to spread rumours that Ashara was Jon's mother (in case Jon looked Valyrian, so they'd think his looks were from Ashara, his presumed mother). They remained allies afterwards, so I'd assume they agreed.

    I think the only option put forward here is saying that Jon is Ashara's son. If Ned were willing to send Jon away, he would have done it in the main series. Sending Jon with the Reeds is the safest thing for him, nobody outside of the North gives them any thought, a bastard at Greywater Watch would be of no interest whatsoever to the world at large. He keeps Jon close because he loves him, he's his sister's son and all he has left of her. He wouldn't be willing to lie about Ashara being his mother without the consent of the Daynes, but like you said, he goes there immediately after the Tower, so there's opportunity. And the Daynes aside from Darkstar (who isn't of the main family like Ashara and Arthur, but rather a cadet house) seem cool from what little we've seen, so there's a decent chance they'd be willing to play ball in order to safeguard the child that Arthur died defending, the last surviving son of Rhaegar Targaryen.

    Ned could've come up with so many other plausible stories than Jon being Ned's bastard. There's a war going on and Ned could've easily said that he found this baby in the aftermath of a battle and the parents are dead. Honorable Ned couldn't leave the baby, otherwise it would die. Nobody would question that. Especially since it's apparently common knowledge that Ned is honorable and it's a big deal that he cheated on Cat.
    Cat's far more likely to buy that Ned found this baby and not be a bitter bitch towards him. He could even embellished the story by say that he saved the baby from being trampled or wild animals.
    Cat's attitude towards Jon is so aggravating and completely unnecessary. It's not like bastards are uncommon. Snow, Rivers and Stone are just some of the last names of bastards depending on the area they're born.

    Well if someone like Huge or Ulf can have silver hair, then Ned could explain that Jon’s mother was a Dragonseed as from connection.
    My favourite part about this what if is Jon Snow becoming a kingsguard, I can see Catelyn pushing for this as that would get rid of Jon Snow as a threat to her children since as a Kingsgiard he wouldn’t be allowed to have children.
    And if Jon stay at Winterfell, creating Wolfsguard for Robb, is awesome, again Catelyn wouldn’t have to worry if Jon still doesn’t have children if the rules for it is the same.
    Another interesting scenario is Jon living with the reeds and meeting Bloodraven, that be an interesting revelation.
    But my favourite scenario is the kingsguard or wolfsguard, he definitely counsel Robb on his choices, probably having better time in the WOTFKs.
    As Kingsguard, it be awkward with Joffrey as King, if he doesn’t die, he tries to protect Sansa as best as he can.
    Thinking about it now, the Wolfsguard is my favourite scenario for Jon Snow in this what if, awesome video. 😎👍❤️

    Or what if Ned’s loyalty to his sister out weighed his loyalty to Robert? What if Ned took Jon back to Winterfell but didn’t lie? Would Robert really risk open war with the Starks because of Jon if Ned was raising Jon to be loyal to Robert’s kingship? It would have made Jon a cousin, Catelyn wouldn’t have hated Jon, Jon would have had a sense of self and Robert certainly COULD declare war on the Starks but is it likely? He knew Ned is loyal and honorable and if Jon had no desire for the throne, he’s certainly a smaller risk than Dany and Viserys. Ned could promise Robert he’d never support Jon in trying to take the throne and Jon has no army without the Starks. If Robert trusted Ned to keep his word (and why wouldn’t he) then Jon potentially could have been raised in the north as Ned’s nephew and Jon has just as small odds as Dany but has Ned swearing Jon will never challenge for the throne.

      Ned committed treason by not offering Jon up to be killed though. Bobby B also celebrated what happened to Jon’s half siblings and called what happened to Elia deserved. It’s made clear that Jon’s secret getting out meant Jon’s death was almost inevitable and it was a dangerous truth to everyone who knew. Open war was unlikely but Robert would absolutely had Jon killed, he wasn’t far away he was in Westeros. Bobby B was not the good guy Baratheon stans pretend he was

      @@DavidCarradinesBelt I don’t think Robert would have liked it, but short of Ned simply legitimizing Jon(which seems like a logical choice), he could have said he swore to his sister he’d look after and protect him. Robert definitely wouldn’t have liked it and if Ned was going to do anything, legitimizing him would Have been a lot less confrontational with Robert, but he could have done it. It’s possible Robert may have ordered Ned out of being Warden of the North for it but I think Robert’s only option would have been open war or try to have Jon assassinated, or just trusted that Ned would not support any overtures of Jon being king.

      Robert celebrated when Jon’s half siblings were killed and didn’t really care about his own children. Why would he care about Lyannas child with his greatest enemy? Lyanna is gone and Robert only cared that he couldn’t have her, not what supposedly happened to her or nothing, Lyanna is only used to justify Robert’s hatred of targaryens and so he can wax philosophical about how much better she would be than Cersei even though he didn’t actually know her as a person. Robert’s ego wouldn’t be able to handle that Lyanna had a child with someone who wasn’t him.

  • @mtverv

    Well this question has two answers to it. One for each Canon.
    In Show Canon where RLJ is true then honestly nothing changes until Robert comes to Winterfell, sees Jon, and accuses him of being what he is in Show Canon wherein Jon might get lucky enough to be able to go the Wall if Ned can convince Robert not to kill him. The standard Early Show and Book Canon story precedes apace.
    In Book Canon however where the most likely Parents for Jon are Ned Stark and Ashara Dayne if he looked Valyrian all that would happen is it would confirm in Cat and the rest of the Realm’s minds what they already suspected. That his Mother is Ashara Dayne who comes from a non-Valyrian Family who just so happen to share the same features of extreme beauty, Silver Hair, and Purple Eyes. This might force Ned into telling Jon his Mother’s name much earlier which would most likely lead into Jon wanting to contact his Mother’s family. Because Edric grew up with only his Aunt Allyria after his Father died learning of another Family Member would have a high chance of Edric wanting Jon to go to Starfall in Dorne. If they get along it means Jon doesn’t go to The Wall which sends the story in an interesting new direction.

      This would probably just end exactly how it did for Roderick Cassell in that Ramsay would have turned up with the Bolton's posing as friends only to betray and slaughter them except it would have happened to Jon instead. It's debatable if Ghost would have sensed the betrayal coming and given Jon the same sense. There's a few ways this would have gone down. Either Ramsay or Jon kills the other, or Jon is captured and brought before Theon who would then be faced with the choice to kill Jon himself or spare him as a hostage or simply see the error in his ways and probably die against the Bolton forces. In that scenario we could have had Jon and Theon die fighting together or both become victims to Ramsay's torture.
