So Season 7 of Game of Thrones has finally come to a close but not before it gave fans enough gossip to fill in that agonizing wait period. This episode officially gave fans what they had been waiting for since 7 freaking seasons- Jon Snow’s real parentage and name! Well, if you are getting that itch to correct me and say it’s Aegon Targaryen, I’m just not emotionally ready for it yet and neither is Twitter.
People are ecstatic that we finally know Jon’s real name and given the multiple references to Aegon, the conqueror, the name will have significance but it’s just not so easy to let go.

Let us also take a moment to acknowledge the rift between Ned and Catelyn Stark’s relationship:
I still feel bad for Catelyn Stark, who will never know that Ned was faithful to her all along #GameofThrones #GameOfThronesFinale ❤

It’s just sad that Catelyn Stark will never know how faithful Ned Stark was to her #GameOfThronesFinale #GameOfThrones

Aegon Targaryen just doesn’t have the same ring to it:
If you think Jon Snow is going ask people to call him Aegon Targaryen, you know nothing about Jon Snow. #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/4YwwMlH5Er

Doesn’t feel right that Jon Snow’s real name is Aegon Targaryen. He deserves better.

Well, it made it all the more uncomfortable.
Gotta love that we finally got to see the #GoT sex scene we’ve been waiting for while at the same time Bran explained that it’s incest.
