It has nothing to do with this, but I was reading all these posts and everytime I read D&D y imagine Dungeons and Dragons and is very weird xD
Back to the topic, I haven't read any of the leaks, nor I will becouse I hate that they are forcing Jonerys in the tv show. I still think that Daenerys or Jon will die beyond the wall, if they don't go with the 'happy ending that won't make any sense', either way, I don't think our ship will happen, they love ignoring Arya even when her plot is the best, rn is all Daenerys in war, Jon and white walkers and Cercei going mad.
Jon didn't even do anything, if you think about it, Arya avenged the red wedding and Sansa won the battle of bastards (kind of) Jon is just there becouse he died? And he is friend with the freefolk?
Also, in a way, he got Rickon killed by not talking to the Northen lords about the freefolk first, making the Umbers (I think, I don't renember) take Rickon to Ramsay, and I liked Rickon even if everyone ignored him.

I feel you man. Everyone in the house do feel pissed about Jonerys being forced. Not all ASOIAF/GOT fans were delighted to see Dany and Jon hook up.

Our ship not happening would be a devastating blow to our ship being canon, but luckily there's a thing called fanfiction. Yup, they do ignore badass characters like Arya because they want to give Jon all the things that shine. Unfortunately they will push for the farmboy trope crowning Jon Snow King of the Seven Kingdoms because some fans in the fandom speculated (I guess even the show runners do also pushes thru for) that Jon had a better claim in the Iron Throne than Dany since he is Rhaegar's son to Lyanna Stark (R+L=J).

You hit the nail on its head, man. That's why good 'ol Jon Snow knows nothing because he didn't do anything. Buuuuuuut... It is so easy for the show runners and even many fans of the show (most especially rabid Jon fangirls who thinks that Dany is just there for the purpose making Jon look good) to sideline/set aside Arya's actions in avenging her kin who died on the red wedding and Sansa having the aid of the Knights of the Vale that helped them won the battle against that crazy bastard Ramsay Bolton.
Again, Starky disclaimer: I can't confirm if these are legit. I can say though, we'll be able to soon enough once filming begins and all of the drone shots come pouring out like the last few years.
Also, this does follow very well the staging that was set by the Season 7 finale, and is predictable enough that it reeks of D&D. So if it's all the work of a troll.. well, at least it's a troll who has carefully studied the target.
For those wondering, still zero Arya/Dany interaction. And with the groups splitting off as they are, if this version rings true it's unlikely they will even have one scene together in the whole series.

For fuck's sake.
I... for fucks sakes.
Also. Anyone wanna put money on rather or not the "old woman" looking for Jon is in fact Lyanna Stark?

Why can't it be Melisandre? Without the Ruby glamor, after all, she said that she and Arya had met once before.

Thats also possible and honestly more likely, since Lyanna wouldnt actually be that old. (From Arya's prospective yes. But no older then her father, or the Lannister Siblings) But then again, Lyanna's experiences could have aged her greatly. You never know. Maybe its just wishful thinking. (its likely just wishful thinking, D&D arnt that creative)

Add to it that Lyanna was said to have died in the tower. But if anyone were to know if she was a live it would be Howland or Bran.

I can say this will absolutely be Melisandre. She has a big role to play in the 'endgame'...
One thing I do find touching in all of this - in the end, it's Arya and her adoptive father figure the Hound who are going to finish things in King's Landing together. And they both likely know they're not going to live to see the fruits of their success. They're sharing a grim determination, something outside of the wights and the Night King.
(Also, that return of Nymeria is part of what sells me on this being quite possible.. they didn't bring her back in ep 2 and remind everyone of her existence for nothing, and they made it very clear she would not return north..)

I'm still sitting here shocked/horrified that, as it currently may stand, we may not get even one scene shared with our OTP. Like, at the end of it all, we'll be sitting with one blurry screencap of Arya sparring with Brienne at Winterfell and a tiny platinum speck on the far corner of the image and we'll cling to that and say: "see? They were in a scene together, we're not crazy!"

It's so bloody depressing, for fuck's sake. >_<
Its horrifying.
Like how can they not have Arya and Dany meet? There are such paralles between them even when you ignore the whole FM-Valyria connection/origin story.
But I can work with it. We can work with it. Even if one or both of them dies. It will not stop House Danarya. Long may our fires burn bright.
Is it strange that I do not really, deep down, don't care anymore? About the show I mean. I find solace here and I consider this canon. I wonder how much is what GRRM told them would happen, because if it is I really don't care about the books at all. It is hard because I started reading the book series in 1996 while I was in the military deployed overseas. I have read them over as each new book came out, and every season until season 5, I would re-read the entire series.

Likely that they both die (Dany is done for sure, every single alleged leak I have seen has that in common), but it sure would have been nice to have a Danarya detour before that point.
Or one fucking scene.
We'll have to take refuge here in the House, for sure.

The wonderful / terrible thing is...
femslash shippers are used to this sort of crap. So come what may, it wont stop any of us. (Ironiclly, House Martells words fit us shippers well. Unbowed, Unbent Unbroken... okay, a little broken... and a bit scuffed. ) The death of Lexa in the 100 didnt stop Clexa shippers (fuck, the amount of fan art and fanfiction just exploded in the aftermath. it was an amazing thing to witness)
The S7 leaks didnt stop me. And these S8 leaks wont stop me either.
Welcome~ This forum is a place for all Dany x Arya shippers to meet up and discuss the world, the lore, and the wonderful characters who make this ship! Have fun, everyone!
