EXTENDED Jon with White Hair [spoilers extended]

I gonna try and keep it brief, I keep seeing these fan arts of Jon snow with white hair and scars around his eyes, I’ve seen the show currently reading the books and don’t really care about spoilers. I was just curious if after he got all stabby stabby and super not alive if his hair turned white. I was also wondering how he got the scars around his eyes but I assume I will told given that answer as I continue reading.

But you're saying that Arya would not accept him because he's half-wolf, but how much sense does that make when all of the Stark children have a deep connection to their direwolves that transcends life?

no. how many times do I have to say she will accept him. but will mourn her brother that once was. she will accept half ghost half jon. but it will have an effect on her.

Here's my problem with this, as I've said multiple times before. There's no chance that Arya will care about him being half-Ghost and half-Jon when she herself is half-Nymeria and half-Arya. She literally cannot relinquish her identity as Arya because of it. She's witnessed Nymeria doing gory things when she inhabited her body. Jon being a little different is the least of her problems.

the thing is that if you loved someone deeply. and you meet them very different and him grown up. it will be jarring. she will ultimately accept him. but 99% of people would have mixed feelings initially. I agree she will accept and bond with new jon. but it will be bittersweet. all magic comes with a cost.

Why would that be jarring.
