What Could Have Been: Fan Art Reveals Jon and Daenerys' Daughter
Game of Thrones fandom remains active to this day. And it's no surprise given that the show provided so many talking points.
And the fact that House of Dragon has begun to explain some of the background to it.
And one fan has given us all a glimpse of what might have been by giving Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke the FaceApp treatment.
Posting the image on Reddit, malevolentplatypus named the 'child' of Jon and Dany Lyanna Targaryen, using the first name of Jon Snow's mother Lyanna Stark who went on to marry Rhaegar Targaryen and become Lyanna Targaryen herself.

Their mixed reviews about this new version of Lyanna Targaryen that was mocked up, though.
While one user asked for the name of the actor, describing her as "the most beautiful woman I have ever seen", another criticised the "bizarre mullet (she had) going on".
Of course, this was just an AI mock-up of what the daughter of Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow might have looked like.
But if execs at HBO ever decide they want to create this version of 'Lyanna', there are already some ideas put forward as to who might play her.
The first is Hungarian model Barbara Palvin who began modelling at the age of 13 but shot to fame when she appeared in the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated in 2016.
Palvin went on to become a Victoria's Secret Angel and also has a role as a beauty ambassador for Armani.
And she already has acting experience, having cast alongside Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in Hercules back in 2014 as Antimache, the wife of King Eurystheus.
More recently, she appeared as Eggzema in the 2021 movie Tyger Tyger, and Eve in the 2022 short film Serpentine.
But if Barbara Palvin doesn't fancy taking on the role, the other alternative is none other than Canadian singer Justin Bieber.
Another who found fame at a young age, Bieber's acting career so far is a little more limited than that of Barbara Palvin. To date, the multi-award-winning star has just one film appearance to his name from his cameo in Zoolander 2.
As it is, it's almost certain that we won't be seeing Lyanna at any point in the future. There was no sign of Dany being with child at the time she died, and several months had passed since the boat scene.
But, no show is beyond a cheeky retcon if the execs see dollar signs on the horizon, So, in the words of Justin Bieber – never say never.
