This is Shireen Baratheon? BLONDE. THE KEY FUCKING POINT OF THE FIRST BOOK/SEASON WAS THAT JOFFREY WAS A BLONDE HAIRED BARATHEON. IT JUST DOESN’T FUCKING HAPPEN. YOU CAN NOT HAVE STANNIS THE MANNIS’ CHILD BE BLONDE TOO. NO. IT COMPLETELY TAKES AWAY THE SINGLE FUCKING SPECK OF EVIDENCE ANYONE HAS THAT JOFFREY IS ILLEGITIMATE WHEN THE KEY FUCKING PERSON TRYING TO TAKE THE THRONE HAS A CHILD WITH THE SAME HAIR COLOUR.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HBO. ANY OTHER CHARACTER. ANY OTHER SHOW IT WOULD BE FINE TO HAVE HAIR OF A DIFFERENT SHADE. BUT WHEN SUCH IMPORTANCE IS PUT N THAT TRAIT. JUST. NO. STOP. NOW. GET CANCELLED.
Except just because Goffery’s “father” was a Baratheon with dominant brunette genes doesn’t mean Stannis has them too. If Shireen’s mother has a dominant blonde gene it is possible she would then be blonde, not brunette. So it could work.
I’d love to agree with you, I really would. I don’t like the fact that I’m becoming so disenchanted with the show.
Genetically, yeah, of course it’s possible. But as hands of the king, both Jon Arryn and Eddard Stark (and of course, Stannis) set out to try and prove that Robert’s children were not in fact his.
In order to argue this research is set out where in it is discovered that literally every single Lannister/Baratheon child came out with black hair. ‘The seed is strong’. Of course, there’s nothing saying that a Florent mother won’t bring a child with lighter hair into the world of a song of ice and fire.
But when pleading the case that Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen are not Baratheon children due to their hair not being black, the ONLY other Baratheon child not fitting that description (from a father that is not Robert - more or less every single one of his bastards described in the books is that they have hair similar to him), well, I’d imagine people would go shrug and say “Who cares? None of the royal Baratheon children are black of hair.”
I’m not entirely sure if both Jon and Ned would risk going up against their king if that was a possibility.
Also, I’m pretty certain genetics are a bit weird in the asoiaf universe. Each family seems to have a defining hair style. It even differs within branches of families. House Lannister of Casterly Rock have curly blonde hair. House Lannister of Lannisport have straight blonde hair. I’m sure there’s discrepancies here and there, but the trend is strong enough that you could walk around the street and just start pointing at people and accurately guessing what house they belong to more often than not.

Joanna Newsom//Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie(The Milk-Eyed Mender, 2004).
I always knew that Joanna was a Bolton of the Dreadfort. She’ll flay the skin from her enemies, drink it in her tea and then write a song about it. Fuck.
