10 Crazy Theories We Believed Were Gospel Before Watching Game of Thrones Season 6 

10 Crazy Theories We Believed Were Gospel Before Watching Game of Thrones Season 6

has sparked more frenzied discussions, controversies and theories than any fantasy series before. Some, like R+L=J (the popular theory that Jon Snow is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark) are more or less canon, while others are a bit wackadoodle. In the good old days before season 6 came out, there were a ton of theories doing the rounds (some touted as canon by fans) that were made mincemeat of by the ruthless pen of George R.R. Martin- or David Benioff and Dan Weiss- as soon as season 6 was released. Let’s see how right or wrong we were.

is nine-year old Bran Stark being pushed out of a window by Jaime Lannister, and losing the use of his legs.

According to one fan, though, the catalyst for the chain of events that make up the grand epic fantasy that is

 could very well be Brandon Stark himself.

, Bran gains the ability to oversee future, present, and past events through the eyes of the weirwood tree. He can whisper and influence events to a degree, as is evident in the book by Theon Greyjoy overhearing Bran while near the weirwood. We have also seen that Bran is capable of warging into and controlling not only animals, but humans. He has, on occasion, warged successfully into Hodor, after all. It doesn’t take a huge flight of fancy to imagine Bran travelling into the past, warging into Jaime Lannister, and pushing his own past self out of the window.

Except why on earth would he do that to himself? According to this theory, the answer probably lies in his weirwood magic. The likelihood of Bran having witnessed an alternate timeline where he is NOT paralyzed, but Westeros is in a shambles with White Walkers having taken over the land, is quite high. Bran could conceivably have set in motion a chain of events that would counter this possibility, and that might have necessitated him being thrown out of the window.

: We do know that Bran can indeed time travel, and maybe even influence events. But there have been no signs of him displaying any tendencies to push himself hurtling to his own injury yet.

The biggest threat to Westeros, or to humans in general, has to be the band of undead and seemingly indestructible ice creatures known as the White Walkers. The only defense against them is the ever-dwindling Night’s Watch- a ragtag bunch of thieves, rapists, and outlaws. Led by Jon Snow, the Night’s Watch is insufficient to counter the threat posed by the White Walkers, and their immensely dangerous leader, the Night’s King. Fabled in the books to be a former member of the Night’s Watch who fell in love with a White Walker and switched sides, the Night’s King is especially proficient at reanimating the dead as cold, blue-eyed wights.

The Night’s King and Jon Snow have already had a showdown once on the show, at Hardhome. If he kills Jon Snow and reanimates him as a wight, Jon Snow will have no choice but to turn against his former allies and brothers. What doesn’t seem like a very nice prospect for Snow, could well mean poetic justice for the book. Jon Snow would be the ice to Dany’s fire, in

Well, he did die and come back to life. Not as an ice-cold soulless killing machine, though. But as a smarter and hotter (just ask the girls) Lord Snow, determined to reclaim his home and inheritance.

8. “Hodor” has a secret meaning that could change everything.

A minor character in the books, Hodor has inspired many a meme for the online fandom. While Hodor jokes abound on the internet, some suspected there could be more to this giant of a man than just comic relief.

It’s obvious that Hodor has witnessed or been through something extremely traumatic that made him lose the skill of speech, and to communicate in a rudimentary fashion, using just the one word, “Hodor.” What if this traumatic experience in Hodor’s past holds the key to the major conflict in

Hodor knows, or has seen something happening, presumably at Winterfell. If he could somehow be induced to tell, the listener would be in possession of considerably important information. Bran could coerce this knowledge out of Hodor using his warging abilities, but what is more likely is that the gist of the information lies in the word “Hodor” itself- possibly in coded form. Does his very name control dragons? A far-out theory, but if it had turned out to be true, it could have major ramifications for the White Walker-Night’s Watch tussle.

Hold the door” went on to become the most anticipated episode in the entirety of season 6, with the reveal of Hodor’s origins. The story behind Hodor’s limited speech, was interesting, sure, but a little lame too, considering it didn’t really have far-reaching ramifications for the story.

Yes, you read that right. One of the more bizarre theories out there suggests that Bran Stark may have the remains of Jojen Reed resting inside his alimentary canal. The end of

has Jojen looking “weary” and “haunted,” and Bran being inducted into the ways of the three-eyed crow (three-eyed raven in the show), with a bowlful of what looks a lot like blood. (Or Jell-O.)

This “blood stew” is offered up to Bran by the three-eyed crow, and is described in the books as a “white paste, with dark red veins running through it,” and it looked “uncannily like blood.” The concept of cannibalism and blood sacrifice has been explored thoroughly in

Added to this the fact that Jojen Reed seemed to sense his upcoming death, judging by his less than cheerful premonitions throughout the book, and we have the perfect recipe for “Jojen Paste.”

Hasn’t been disproved, but we can safely assume this isn’t where the writers are headed.

The Bolt-On Theory suggests that Roose Bolton is secretly a vampire. Bolton has been described as ageless and immortal in the books. His eyes are cold and gray! He has mask-like skin! Ergo, Roose Bolton is a vampire! This extremely well-reasoned theory (yes, sarcasm) adds vampires to the smorgasbord of mythical creatures already on

The only sane thing to do in this situation would be to push him out into the sun and see if he sparkles.

: Bolton’s death brought a short-lived end to that theory. Unfortunate, because it would have been satisfying to watch him sink his fangs into his diabolical son’s neck and suck him dry.

And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.

 Maggy the Frog’s prophecy to Cersei Lannister has sparked off many a discussion across forum boards. In

the Valonqar prophecy follows Maggy’s prediction that Cersei’s children will have gold crowns and gold shrouds. The show depicted the gold shroud prophecy but not the Valonqar.

The prophecy has been interpreted in many ways, but what intrigues readers the most is the identity of “the Valonqar.” Cersei seems to have taken it for granted that the Valonqar is her little brother Tyrion, so he is naturally ruled out by readers, leaving Jaime as the one.

The word “valonqar” means “little brother” in High Valyrian. However fans of the series have been quick to point out that the witch refers to

little brother, which means that the Valonqar does not have to be related to Cersei at all, but could be

Possible candidates include Tommen (Joffrey’s younger brother), who is shown to be getting tired of his mother’s constant interfering; Stannis Baratheon, who is Robert’s younger brother, and is likely to call a siege upon King’s Landing any day; or the Hound (the younger Clegane brother), who has fled King’s Landing, but might team up with Arya to kill Cersei, whom she hates.

We still don’t know who the Valonqar is, but there’s a very good chance it will be Jaime, especially after finding out in the season 6 finale that Cersei unwittingly caused the death of his only remaining offspring.

4. Tyrion is Tywin Lannister’s only true heir.

Ýou are no son of mine” were Tywin Lannister’s last words to his son Tyrion, just before he died as the result of arrows loosed by Tyrion himself. The tumultuous and bitter father-son relationship depicted in the books has long been a hot topic of discussion between

fans. They have also led many to speculate that Tyrion may in fact not be Tywin’s real son, but the result of a union between Joanna Lannister and Aerys Targaryen, the then-king of Westeros. (J+A=T, anyone?)

But some wild theories out there would have us believe that not only is Tyrion Tywin’s true son, he is Tyrion’s

The Mad King Aerys is known to have lusted after Tywin’s wife Joanna, and may have taken certain liberties during their wedding night, according to the books. If Joanna and Aerys slept together on her wedding night, it is likely that Jaime and Cersei, being the first-born children, are secretly half Targaryen. This theory is cemented by their fair hair and their propensity for incest- both known Targaryen characteristics. If this turns out to be true, that would mean that Tyrion is Tywin Lannister’s only son ,and the true heir to Casterly Rock.

Still plausible, although season 6 has lent more weight to Tyrion being a Targaryen, what with his affinity for dragons.

This one clearly takes the cake for the most crackpot theory out there. The only canonical basis for the assumption that the sly, scheming eunuch Lord Varys is a merman seems to be the sea-related metaphors he made earlier on in the series.

, when Tyrion threatens to have him thrown off a ship, Varys very enigmatically replies that he might well be “disappointed by the result..I keep on paddling.” His story about being a eunuch- if it is indeed a story and not the plain truth- provides perfect cover for him not being able to procreate with humans. (Which is something a merman wouldn’t be able to do. Or would he?) In addition to that, Varys is often described as being “slimy’” and has an affinity for water.

 It hasn’t been proved or disproved yet, but….yeah. No.

I have to admit, this theory made me sit up and take notice. Out of all the crackpot theories out there, this one is either the most foolish, or the closest to the truth. Fans have long suspected that the Aegon Targaryen shown in the books is a fake Targaryen planted by Illyrio Mopatis and Varys to gain control over the throne. The fact that the showrunners chose to do away with the Aegon plotline entirely lends credence to the fact that Young Griff-as-Aegon simply isn’t very important. But what if Aegon Targaryen

According to this theory, Hodor is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Elia Martell. Aegon VI is said to have had his head smashed against the wall by the Mountain during the siege of King’s Landing. That would explain Hodor’s simple-mindedness and his inability to formulate words other than “Hodor.” While the timeline of the story would have Aegon be in his teens, and Hodor obviously appears older, that could just be him being big for his age. Targaryens have a history of mental instability, and that fits in perfectly with Hodor. What better disguise for young Aegon than to be a stable boy at the Starks? If, as is theorized, Ned Stark went in looking for his sister Lyanna, and instead found baby Aegon lying injured on the floor, it would be unthinkable for him to do anything but rescue the baby. This is Ned Stark we’re talking about, after all.

: Sadly Hodor’s death put paid to that theory, may he rest in peace. But Hodor as a Targaryen would have been beyond amazing.

Robert Frost’s iconic poem, “Fire and Ice,” makes it very clear that the world’s end lies either in fire or in ice. The title of George R.R. Martin’s

, is too close to “Fire and Ice” to be ignored. Martin’s epic series could very well finish with the world ending, falling prey to the fearsome and seemingly immortal White Walkers.

being an apocalypse story is a theory that doesn’t hold much water. However, let us examine the facts.

It is known that the White Walkers, apart from being nearly impossible to kill, have the ability to reanimate the dead, thereby replenishing their troops whenever required. Even with the combined might of the Seven Kingdoms, the Night’s Watch, and Daenerys and her dragons, the White Walkers are hard to defeat. To add to that, Westeros seems to be ignoring the looming threat and is involved in a petty tussle to decide who sits on the Iron Throne, leaving the defense of the Wall to a handful of fighters with dwindling supplies. If the White Walkers decide to attack before Westeros gets its act together, they will almost certainly win, ending the world.

This will also fit with the larger message Martin has been striving to convey, which is that winter is the biggest threat, not swords or wars. The internal conflicts in the realms of men are insignificant when it comes to the threats posed by nature. The world ending in an apocalyptic attack would be the perfect end to George R.R. Martin’s series, because as Ramsay Bolton says, “If you thought this was going to have a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention.”

This might still happen, and no one would put it past George R.R. Martin.

The show is not the book. You can’t use show stuff to disprove book theories

Bran ate Jojen is true. The rest of these theories are bullshit.

Partly true. But it’s clear that Benioff and Weiss know the endgame for the major characters, they’ve talked about their conversations with Martin (in a vague way) before. Shireen’s death is one example. And that knowledge is going to affect how they write the show. The show and the books aren’t twins, but they are closely related.

The show is not the book. You can’t use show stuff to disprove book theories

Yes and no. Jon coming back in the show proves he’ll be back in the books. Hodor is “hold the door.” There are some big things we can know from the show that are true in the books.

Given that the show doesn’t even mention the precious/stupid valonqar, I don’t see how it’s proved or disproved anything.

I can’t decide my favorite theory, Varys being a mermaid or Hodor being Aegon Targaryen 🙂 .

Jojen paste could still happen in the books, imo, irrespective of the manner of show Jojen’s death.

Omg I really ain’t one for crackpot theories.All of these are absolutely bollocks appart from Bran eating Jojen that might have happened lol.But really my favourite one will always be the Tyrion is Dany’s time travelling child.Nothing can top that honestly

Hodor being AegonVI is a great theory. Hodor/Hold the door could be when Amory Lorch was banging down the door to kill Rhaenys and Aegon.

Hodor’s back story was “also kind of lame”!?!? That was in no way lame. I rank it as the 5th best episode of Thrones solely on the strength of that ending sequence.

My Favourite Crazy Theories (none of which I believe): – Pycelle is a Lannister bastard.

– Stannis or Mance wrote the Pink Letter.

– Tywin knew about Joffrey’s poisoning.

– Lem Lemoncloak is actually Richard Lonmouth, Rhaegar’s squire.

– Bloodraven and/or the Children of the Forest are trying to destroy humanity.

I haven’t exactly believed in any of these ones. I have thought the J+A=T theory is an intriguing possibility. I can’t see Tywin letting him live if he truly knew, but when I first read the theory it was well written and very convincing.

Only Jon will not become WW,and Bran will not eat any pasta can be told in the show.

Bran didnt visit the moment Jaime pushed him yet,Tyrion didnt get any special relationship with the dragons,Cersei’s killer theory never made it in the show .

I dont support any of the theories i just cant see how show answered them.

Theories that got answer are Jon parents, Cersei will outlive all her children e.t.c

Tyrion is not a Targ. I do wonder about Cersei and Jaime though – but I throw in an extra crackpot twist that one twin is fathered by Aerys and the other by Tywin, with no way to know who’s Aerys’ bastard.

On the fence about the valonqar, but Jojenpaste seems plausible in the books.

Regarding Bran, it could go two ways. One, Bran could actually be fulfilling a closed time loop (like Hodor’s origin story, where his mind has to be crippled by Bran). Or two, it could be a Twilight Zone situation where Bran instigates endless cycles of reincarnation to fix the WW issue that can never be fixed, and he’s just fighting a losing battle with fate. What we’re seeing/reading now is just another cycle Bran has created.

Really? Lame is not the word I would describe Hodor’s backstory with.

His backstory is a huge education to Bran, who now knows how he can manipulate events. He was able to warg into Hodor BEFORE he became the Three Eyed Raven. Now he has had a bit of training, so it’s likely he will be able to warg into others. If he can put all the pieces together, he very well be able to affect future or past events.

It seems like if Bran was the most important character, Jon and Tyrion wouldn’t have triple the number of POV chapters that Bran does. But who knows.

Though granted, I think Arya has had more chapters than Bran as well, and Bran certainly seems more important than Arya at this juncture.

Never have been a big fan of these sorts of theories. They are rarely true or close to what fans guessed.

Never thought Bran pushed himself via Jaime out the window and I still don’t.

Never believed anyone other than Jaime to be the Valonqar.

Never believed that Tyrion is anything other than Tywin’s son. He does have an affinity with the dragons, but that is it for me unless proven otherwise.

I did think that Hodor meant something, by the time the show aired the rumor about “hold the door” sounded pretty plausible to me.

Never thought that Bran would eat Jojenpaste.

But I do think that the world as “they” know it, in the end will never be the same, but a new beginning will have to take place.

I am not writing this with a “better than you” feeling. I am just not nor have I ever been a big fan of crazy theories. They have to really make sense, like R+L=J sort of thing to buy into it. Sorry if the post seems condescending in any way.

Everything is ”lame” when compared to some crazy, convulated theories that are out there.

Mostly because that’s what those theories are in essence, they are meant to be over-convulated and ”cool” and overly complex.

Most of these theories exist mostly because some refuse to accept, that the ”obvious” and simpler answer is also the correct one.

Some of these theories are just plain silly, but I sure hope you don’t stop believing in ASOIAF theories because the show made things differently.

Yeah, try to see which theories make sense with book Dorne by using show Dorne’s abomination. Exercise in futility.

“Jon Snow will become a White Walker.”

This screams wishful thinking. Like when a lot of fans were convinced he was never going to abandon the NW lmao.

Aegon will end up dead and Dorne will join Dany.

Hah. When Roose shows up on the Small Council of the Night’s King then you’ll all see the Bolt-On truth.

Piling on to the valonqar thing is unlikely all around since it was cut from the show. Cersei is so gonna burn.

Nah I’m sure Arianne and Young Griff will end up in the throne with Doran as hand.Darkstar is Azor Ahai.Rickon will come riding a unicorn and become king until Robb’s unborn child comes along.Strong Belwas will save the world and Stannis will wake dragons from the earth.Jon Tyrion and Dany don’t even matter really I bet they won’t even be pov in the next books.Who needs them when you have Aero Hotah and Aeron Greyjoy lol

We didn’t get the RW visions in Dany’s story in S2, neither did the prophecy were she sees the Dosh Khaleen kneel before her, nor the old lady’s prophecies to Arya in S3.

But yet all those happened. In my opinion, the fact that this part was cut, actually proves it to be true more then anything. They didn’t want to hint to this so soon. And used the prophecy to hint at the death of Cersei’s children who are secondary characters, at most, and to explain her fight with the Tyrrels and Margaery.

They did not want to hint at the death of Cersei, because she is a main character.

I have no doubt what so ever(should this be 1 word?), that Jaime is the Valonqar and will kill Cersei.

I don’t know if I should praise your sarcasm or feel sorry for the fandom, because something like made me read the comment twice…..

Looking forward to getting more of the POV inside Jon’s head whenever book 6 comes out, but you can’t really fault him for leaving the NW regardless. Like he said, he did what he thought was right, and they murdered him for it.

Well I have actually seen some people be serious about some of those things so yeah I don’t fault you haha

Jojen Paste! I still Belieeeeve…! (in the books anyway)

Also you forgot about Daario (Harpy/Euron), High Sparrow (Rhaegar/Benjen) and Mance (Rhaeger) identity theories! They are WAY more crackpot (stupider) than these are! 🙂

My favorite theory was always HS=HR. We saw how that turned out…..

“Ned and Ashara Dayne are Jon’s real parents” should be in that list… I know of a couple of youtubers who were adamant about this theory.

Oh, and I’m still a firm believer of “Jojen paste” in the books!

But this is also a good example for what I said earlier. Some create new theories and are adamant that they are right, simply because the alternative is too ”simple/obvious”.

I have a feeling they will be very disapointed when WOW comes(if) out.

I’m not faulting him. I fully support the decision.

Mihnea: Some create new theories and are adamant that they are right, simply because the alternative is too ”simple/obvious”.

“Ned and Ashara Dayne are Jon’s real parents” should be in that list… I know of a couple of youtubers who were adamant about this theory.

Oh, and I’m still a firm believer of “Jojen paste” in the books!

Or Brandon and Ashara being Jon’s parents, Rhaegar and Lyanna being Dany’s parents, involving double baby swaps, fake deaths, false identities and whatnot 🙂 . I wonder how will Preston Jacobs react when the books reveal r+l=j .

ghost of winterfell: Or Brandon and Ashara being Jon’s parents, Rhaegar and Lyanna being Dany’s parents, involving double baby swaps, fake deaths, false identities and whatnot 🙂 .

Oh yes! Or Meera and Jon being twins… 😀 One of the most outlandish theories I read was that Arthur Dayne and Lyanna Stark were Jon’s parents, because he was protecting her at the Tower of Joy… 😒

there sure are a lot of little brothers (AKA Second Sons) running around Esso. Love all these crazy theories.

He did say that Winds of Winter was the worst episode of GOT so far, lol.

The twin theory, believe it or not, still seems to be going strong 🙂 .

I personally hold to my own head-canons and also the theory of apocalypse.

I think it’s been under our noses in every single title sequence and it’s even been seen and received a few different interpretations in one episode; the comet burning in the sky.

I think the comet isn’t a comet but inbound, and nothing is quite as bitter-sweet as a hard won peace all undone by a dinosaur style meteor strike.

Thus magic and all knowledge leaves the world and the land itself reforms.

On the subject of JS becoming a white walker………Hmmmmmmm. Lots of attention on the Children creating the WW and even a dedicated scene, used to later explain Benjens salvation through a slice of dragon-glass in the chest.

When all is said and done, what are we on now, the 999th commander of the Nights Watch…?

“You’re destined to fight their wars forever” – Alliser Thorne on the gallows.

One wonders at the 1000th commander of the nights watch…..Hey Jon? If there’s to be a last battle, don’t get hurt like Benjen, hey?

The funny part is that back, before the show or in it’s early seasons, he was mocked even by some hardcore purists at westeros.com.

Now he is a standard banner for them…. which I find hilarious, because the same people who agree and praise him now, used to make fun of him, not so long ago.

ghost of winterfell: The twin theory, believe it or not, still seems to be going strong

Mihnea: Now he is a standard banner for them…. which I find hilarious, because the same people who agree and praise him now, used to make fun of him, not so long ago.

ORLY? I haven’t actually seen Preston Jacobs actually post on w.org in a really long time, and even back in the day it was rarely. Certainly don’t think most people on worg believe his theories. I think of him more as a reddit/youtube guy.

The Volonquar one is interesting. No one knows, however, ‘cept George and D&D, whether “little” refers to size or age:

-Sandor is physically smaller than Gregor -Tyrion is smaller and younger than Jaime

-Renly was younger than both Robert and Stannis – but they’re all dead now.

Batfink impersonator, Tyrion Lanister, has said repeatedly that the reason his brother killed the mad king was to save the people of King’s Landing. He harasses Deny about her father’s madness, and whenever she proposes a solution that involves fire, he brings up her father wanting to burn the city… In other words, Jaime is not a Kingslayer, but an altruist.

Tyrion is a pious little fuck; and, we will see if he’s so pious when he faces what his own sister did to the Sept. Should the

altruistic Jaime punish Cersai as harshly as he punished Aerys? Should Tyrion punish her? We will see whether they’re altruistic, or hypocrites.

‘Cause you know, the justice we piously give to those we don’t love, is not the same justice we deal out to those we do. And, we know how people lie about their motives.

He didn’t post much, but I clearly remember them dismissing his theories and making fun of him.

Oh they don’t believe in his theories, they just happen to share the same hatred for the show.

But I think you are right….. I might confuse westeros.com with R/ASOIAF.

I think it’s been under our noses in every single title sequence and it’s even been seen and received a few different interpretations in one episode; the comet burning in the sky.

I think the comet isn’t a comet but inbound, and nothing is quite as bitter-sweet as a hard won peace all undone by a dinosaur style meteor strike.

Yikes. That sounds like a fantasy version of the sci-fi novel “Lucifer’s Hammer” by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle .

If the very last episode of the series is titled “The Fall”, maybe that’s what will happen – I hope not!

The comet thing appeals to my dark side. It would be – almost – completely unexpected. It would take a cosmic cataclysm to cause the sun to rise in the west and set in the east. But then, how would Dany survive it for her womb to quicken?

If I remember, the show only added the children prophecy, not the Valonquar.

Tyrion is not a Targaryean but will ride a dragon thanks to the dragonbinder horn. I don’t recall but does the Lannister family tree have any Targaryeans in their lineage?

The Bolt-on theory will always have a special place in my heart.

That Bran warging into Jaime one is really stupid. There is no indication in any of Jaime’s thoughts in his chapters that he doesn’t remember pushing Bran or wasn’t in control of his body.

I cannot comprehend the insistence on Jojenpaste. Yes, he’s eating a white paste of (I believe?) mashed up Weirwood seeds or something, and it is veined with red syrupy streaks dark as blood. What other substance is thus described in the books? Weirwood sap. Those red streaks are _SO_OBVIOUSLY_ Weirwood sap. He is already eating Weirwood paste in preparation for being inserted into a Weirwood tree to plug into the Weirwood network, yet somehow DRINKING JOJEN’S BLOOD makes more sense. *brain explodes*

Conversely, my favorite theory is that the White Walkers are not the evil they are assumed to be. We’ve seen in the show that they were men transformed though magic by the CotF to be their slave warrior army against the First Men.

This origin story lines up with the scifi trope of “playing god,” and what happens when that creation escapes its maker’s control. The narrative mother of this trope is

, whose monster is neither monstrous nor evil. I am not suggesting the White Walkers are merely “misunderstood,” but–like Frankenstein’s creation–they might damn well desire vengeance, or they could simply be fighting for survival.

also took an interesting route with man’s creations, as the motivations of the Cylons are not at all simple or even unanimous. Another example is the Geth from the

series, whose creators have cast them as genocidal villains while the machines were simply defending themselves from extermination.

The White Walkers may well be the evil everyone assumes they are, but I am relying on GRRM to subvert the boring “evil for the sake of evil” bullshit present in so many fantasy narratives. Yes, ice can entomb, but it can also preserve. Maybe they just want a sunnier clime. 🙂

I cannot comprehend the insistence on Jojenpaste. Yes, he’s eating a white paste of (I believe?) mashed up Weirwood seeds or something, and it is veined with red syrupy streaks dark as blood. What other substance is thus described in the books? Weirwood sap. Those red streaks are _SO_OBVIOUSLY_ Weirwood sap. He is already eating Weirwood paste in preparation for being inserted into a Weirwood tree to plug into the Weirwood network, yet somehow DRINKING JOJEN’S BLOOD makes more sense.

Bran did drink blood…in the show. It was rabbit’s blood that was given to him by the show’s Benhands/Coldjen amalgam. Some people took that to be an “homage” to Jojenpaste…not saying that the theory is necessarily true, but in the chapter Jojen is conspicuously absent, and Bran keeps asking where Jojen is…and nobody answers him?
