Fans Get Ansty Over Blood-Curdling Fate of Jojen Reed, A Beloved Game of Thrones Character in ‘The Winds of Winter’ Theory
Game of Thrones, which premiered on HBO in 2011, answered a range of popular theories from the original source material. However, there are still some possible fan theories that might result from the release of The Winds Of Winter, George R. R. Martin’s upcoming novel. One of the theories is the ‘Jojen Paste’ theory which is related to Jojen Reed’s character from the series.
Martin is known for his literary works are part of A Song Of Ice And Fire (ASOIAF) book series, of which the first installment, A Game Of Thrones was published in 1996.
His upcoming book is a trending topic of discussion as the author’s previous novels have been adapted into 59 Primetime Emmy Awards-winning TV show, Game of Thrones, by David Benioff and D.B Weiss. The book is followed by George’s 2011 book A Dance with Dragons.
What Is ‘Jojen Paste’ Theory About?
Jojen Reed was already shown dead in the fourth season of the show. In George R. R. Martin’s book, Jojen has a dream of his death, before his disappearance at the end of the last book, A Dance With Dragons.
In ‘Jojen Paste’ theory, Reed is killed and served to his friend Bran, who drank a mysterious drink, which is described to look like blood in the novel. The theory suggests that Bloodraven, along with the children of the forest use blood magic to elevate ‘Brandon’s aka Bran’s greensight by consuming greensighter.
A Greensighter, or a Greenseer, is entitled to a person who can perceive the events of the past, present, and future in the form of dreams. These dreams are often known as ‘Green Dreams.’

A fan says that the blood-like drink which Bran drank was made using the Greenseer’s heart.
The theory is that the paste was made up of Jojen's heart. That organ seems important for the ritual from what we've know from Sixskins' chapter.
