* NotSoSimilar: It's pointed out that as similar as they are in terms of personality, Stannis and Jon's lives are different. They both grew up in the shadows of the elder brothers, but Stannis was repeatedly put down by both of them; by playful jests or deliberate. Whereas Jon had grown up loved by most of his siblings in spite of his situation.

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Jon had learned swimming by swimming in Winterfell's moat. Stannis points out the difference between a moat ("a stagnant body of water") and the sea, causing Jon to realize he's not a good swimmer compared to Davos' sons and other experienced sailors.
** Robert's been an alcoholic since he was about eighteen years old. Quitting cold turkey at this point would likely make things worse for him; leading him to drink a simple if rather weak ale.
** Littlefinger may have been a smarmy jerkass but his point regarding the Baratheons was somewhat accurate, as their are children who resemble more their mother than their father. Or in some cases, neither of them. And aside from being a Troll, Stannis has pointed out that there has been a blonde or red-haired Stark in previous generations, if not noted.
** Edric may have and be strong enough for a miniature warhammer, but that doesn’t mean he knows how to use it. And compared to the more experienced Jon, he's not a match for him.

* LikeASonToMe: Over time, Stannis comes to treat Jon almost as a son. Unsurprisingly, this unnerves Selyse Barethon, especially given that she has been unable to provide Stannis with a male heir.

** Jon notes that he and Edric Storm are quite similar. They've both been acknowledged by their respective fathers, raised in a castle, granted an education; being more privileged than most bastards would be. But whereas Jon was raised and cared for by his father, Edric was more or less cared for by Cortnay Penrose rather than Renly or Robert, who did nothing but provide gifts for him. Jon's siblings love him wit5h Sansa and Catelyn being the exception, whereas Renly and Stannis find Edric tolerable to say the least.
