Ditto. I’ve thought a lot about Jon’s character this season and he wouldn’t GAF about being the one to take out the NK, he’s just glad the living won. He didn’t want the iron throne, he just wanted his family avenged. His entire character arc is honor and nobility and doing the right thing. He’s happy to go have rest north of the wall and forget about the politics of the 6 kingdoms.

I think I was initially upset because it was depicted as a punishment but upon further thinking it’s a blessing for him.

Also...him going North implies he won’t have children. Which means the end of the Targaryen line. Remember what Varys said about Targaryens and the flip of a coin? No more chance at mad Targaryens rising up again.

I don’t think he even wanted that. He was tasked with be Lord Commander of the Knight’s watch after joins the Black. A position he willing volunteered for initially. He was never going to leave until his saw the Army of the dead. He was killed, brought back and just wanted to defend the realm. When that was complete, he just wanted to go back and chill.

Just bc he found out who his real parents were, didn’t change who he was and what he wanted.

What was his alternatives? Arya headed West, Bran is king, Sansa is queen. Was he just supposed to hang out at Winterfell and kill rabbits? A place he already left when things were all good
