Beric's definitely not Azor Ahai in the books since he's dead. I don't know why they included the whole flaming sword bit with Beric but didn't let Stannis have Lightbringer.

So that rules out Jon too.

Characters are more consistent in the books than they are in the show. They don't suddenly just do something out of character because the plot calls for it, though to some degree that's just TV writing for you. I prefer the books by far but it seems like we're never getting any more of those so....

Not just more consistent but the motivations,actions, and events are clearly logical rather than just big dumb spectacles that happen for no reason/in a vacuum

Apparently, his new sword is Stannis' sword ("Lightbringer").
The fact that Stannis' sword was/is Lightbringer is disputed.

Either way, I'd like to see Lady Stoneheart, so gently caress Berric.

Hello my dudes that still care about this mess of a thing.
It's getting to be that time that show watchers are getting moistened up for the inevitable kooky titstravaganza that will be the show's end.

Which means time to dredge up fan-fiction like a motherfucker.
So I'll start by suggesting a now dated little goodie to add to the Recommended Reading list.

100% of my show-only friends have no idea who Jon's father is.

They cast a lady who looks exactly like Emilie Clarke as the mother so they thought the scene was supposed to reveal that Jon and Dany were twins or something.

Aren't there piles of people who now know that Jon's mother was Ned's sister, but still think that Ned's his father?

The only thing you're supposed to get is that Ned is Jon's Uncle which is pretty easy to get since it goes straight from the baby to Jon. The show writing is bad though so you kind of forget about Jon's mother and the whole war because it hasn't been mentioned for like 3 seasons.
