This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The guy who played Sam in game of thrones said he would ask people, who pointed out tye similar plot hole with his character, something along the lines of "you know I don't actually live on the wall right?" I don't want to search for the clip to find the exact quote so sorry if that's too far off.
Also something along "theres living dead, giants, dragons, magic, and the only thing you find unrealistic is someone not losing weight?"
[EDIT] To downvoters, it's in quote marks, because it's a quote.
Because there is no in-fiction reason why that would be the case. Dragons aren't realistic, but not losing weight is internally inconsistent with the rules of the world as presented to us.
John Snow regularly gives his best buddy his extra rolls because he has a gluten allergy.
Boom, explained.
And it would be good if they showed something like that on screen. Shows Jon as a kind friend, if a little too soft.
I don't have any context to know if that works here or not, but either way, relying on headcanon to explain the primary text is a hallmark of sloppy writing.
He was fat in the original books.
