Normally, this might be the type of
social media fodder you scroll through, learn about a pretty weird thing, and that’s that. But just as
everything with Game of Thrones goes, the questions and speculations regarding this dildo’s
significance to our favorite characters and storylines are already pouring in. Let’s head to some of the
most intriguing theories we’ve stumbled upon so far.
Reddit user FacelessStan poses
an interesting idea:
Despite a lack of show-presence, we
know Bran’s warging capabilities are growing more and more impressive with every weirwood session. We’ve
seen him warg into ravens, direwolves, and even Hodor in ancient spectacles of time. I think Bran is fully
capable of warging himself into Jon’s Long Shaft. If you recall, a replica head of Jon’s direwolf,
Ghost, is mounted to the base of the shaft. And it’s not like Bran is getting any action is that
rickety-ass wheelchair any time soon. I’m betting the cripple of Winterfell treats more than a few lucky
ladies to a pleasant surprise before his tale is done.
GettinSomeNed47 gives us some more thought-provoking
insight:
We know Long Shaft was given to Jon
Snow by Lord Commander Mormont - it’s a shaft that’s belonged to the family’s bloodline for years. We
also know his son, Jorah Mormont was exiled from Westeros for selling poachers to slave traders. But
doesn’t that seem like a bit of a harsh punishment? Jorah’s already proven himself to be an ultra
old-man horndog - immediately down to flay his skin just to try and get a little action… who’s to say he
wasn’t also getting a little too handsy at local brothels with the family shaft? Rewatch the scene in
“Beyond the Wall” where he turns Jon’s Long Shaft down. There’s an aroused darkness lurking behind
those honorable eyes.
Interesting! Here’s our final
mind-altering theory from AryaInYet13:
Book readers are already familiar with the prophecy of Azor Ahai and the Last Hero, savior of the previous Long Night. But my personal theory on this is that Jon Snow is both the reincarnation of both Azor and the Last Hero, and Long Shaft is actually Azor Ahai’s penis, NOT Jon’s. OK… hear me out: The prophecy of Lightbringer states that when the stars bleed and the cold winds blow, the warrior (Jon) shall draw from the fire a burning shaft - meaning this shaft was forged thousands of years before Jon was even born. How the hell did they know what Jon’s lap rocket looked like back then? The only person who has ever seen the King of the North’s clam hammer took an arrow to the heart long ago. Jon may be the Last Hero, but his name doesn’t belong on Long Shaft. This is all just false advertisement.
