The season finale of Game of Thrones finally answered the question we’ve been asking for the past six (eh, maybe more like one if you don’t know all the fan theories) seasons: WHO THE FUCK ARE JON SNOW’S REAL PARENTS?
While we only saw that Lyanna Stark was the mother, leaving the father a “mystery” in the same sense that whoever killed Nicole Brown Simpson is also a “mystery,” that didn’t stop fans from jumping to the conclusion that the popular fan theory R + L = J is true.
…because it is. It’s true. Despite not showing the father, there is no way in hell “R” isn’t Jon Snow’s real dad, and people are fucking STOKED:
R+L=J #confirmed. Finally. #GameofThrones
