    I Am Really In My Feelings About How "Game Of Thrones" Treated Jon Snow During The Finale

    I'm upset.

    🚨SPOILERS AHEAD! Read at your own risk!🚨

    Last night was the series finale of Game of Thrones and needless to say, I'm not well. Dany died, Bran became king of Westeros, Arya went on a voyage, Sansa became queen of the North, and Jon Snow got the shortest end of the stick imaginable.

    That is correct. Jon Snow, the ACTUAL TRUE HEIR TO THE IRON THRONE, was basically exiled after he killed Dany.

    Now, I know what you're thinking. He's a murderer, he deserves to be punished. HOWEVER, he did what everyone else was afraid to do and was the only one punished for it.

    This is a council of nobles, right? Why are they trying to appease Grey Worm, a soldier who, quite literally, has dirt shit — no title, no land, no queen, no nothing.

    But alas, Jon was sent off to live out the rest of his days with the Night's Watch, where this whole mess started.

    I'm just glad I'm not the only one upset at this buffoonery. Here are all the best reactions to Jon's fate:

    1.

    In loving memory of Jon Snow/Aegon Targaryen, son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark who was raised by Ned Stark. He ain't dead, but he deserved so much better. #GameOfThrones #GOT

    Us: “Why build the whole story around Jon Snow being Aegon Targaryen, rightful heir to the Iron Throne, only to send Jon to the Nights Watch again?” Game of Thrones Writers:

    I will always love jon snow, he is one of my favorite characters and he means so much to me and the bad writing in season 8 won't change it. he was a fan favorite who had the most interesting arcs and they did him so dirty. he deserved so much better

    5.

    So Jon Snow being Aegon Targaryen and the rightful heir to the Iron Throne just ends up totally not mattering?

    My nigga Jon Snow is the epitome of Good Guys Finish Last. My boy did EVERYTHING right and STILL ended up in the wilderness 😭😭😭😭 #DemThrones

    Tyrion: Jon Snow should be the rightful ruler. He deserves to be King. He's the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. He knows how to lead. He's the chosen one. The people love him. Convinces Jon to kill Dany. Time to choose a King. Tyrion: Bran. #GameOfThrones

    Jon Snow at the last episode of #GameOfThrones #GameOfThronesFinale be like

    9.

    Then WTH was the point of setting up Jon Snow as a bastard, getting brutally killed, coming back to life, then finding out he was a Targaryen, all of that only to send him BACK to the Knight's Watch to defend against what?! The Night King is DEAD! Horrible writing. #GameOfThrones

    10.

    Jon Snow got banished to the place where he was betrayed and murdered because he saved the realm from a tyrant who massacred an entire city. And all to appease Grey Worm, who actively participated in the massacre, and who then just fucked off to Naath anyway. #GameofThrones

    11.

    So they resurrected Jon Snow and revealed his huge Targaryen secret just to send him back to the wall.

    12.

    So the writers gave all this character development to Jon snow ONLY for him to be a bastard again?? #GameOfThrones #TheFinalEpisode

    13.

    TYRION: People love stories. And nobody has a better story than Bran. JON SNOW, WHO WENT FROM STARK BASTARD TO LORD COMMANDER TO KING IN THE NORTH, WHO WAS LITERALLY KILLED AND RESURRECTED, WHO SLAYED HIS QUEEN/AUNT/LOVER FOR THE GOOD OF THE REALM: [Jim Halpert look to camera]

    After all Jon snow did that’s what he gets? Smh

    The only good thing about Jon being exiled to Castle Black is that he was reunited with Tormund (and it felt so good.)

    In all seriousness though, regardless of how you feel about Jon Snow's fate, he's a good man and I'll miss seeing him on my screen every Sunday night.
