I HATE IT WHEN RHAELYA FANS SAY THAT ELIA WANTED RHAEGAR TO TAKE LYANNA AS A SECOND WIFE.
UHM???? FUCK NO!
DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THIS.
first of all, elia was the only daughter of the RULING PRINCESS OF DORNE. do people think her mother sent her off to king’s landing to be disrespected? to be humiliated? NO. she was sent there to be the next fucking queen. aside from political ambitions, the princess of dorne was canonically friends with both joanna AND rhaella. she entrusted her daughter to her friend’s son.
second, elia knew how different the rest of westeros treated their women. sure, dorne isn’t the land of equal rights and milk and honey and all that shit but she definitely enjoyed more rights and higher standing back in sunspear, especially as the daughter of house martell. she knew how precarious her status can be despite being the crown prince’s wife. what fucking good would it do to her if she allowed her husband to forcibly break a betrothal between two MAJOR houses? to basically declare to the entire world and in history forevermore that she wasn’t enough for her husband and he had to get another wife?
third, HER CHILDREN??? she gave rhaegar two healthy babies. maybe she could have given him more had she gotten proper care (no, i do not fucking trust pycelle. he’d probably been sabotaging rhaella’s and elia’s pregnancies to please tywin). rhaegar getting another wife and thus having legitimate children not hers would put aegon and rhaenys IN DANGER. sure maybe lyanna would be oh so kind enough to not contest their inheritance but do people forget the STAB alliance??? the dance???
fourth, er the mere fact that lyanna was betrothed to robert fucking baratheon? disregarding the entire shit about lya running off (or not) with a married man after shitting on robert for being a manwh0re, YOU DO NOT JUST BREAK AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN TWO MAJOR HOUSES. even if the crown had a good reason to do so (which they didn’t), it was an agreement between house stark AND house baratheon. they DO NOT get a say in it. lord, this is contract law 101. robert’s rebellion was built on a lie my ass. the rebels had every good reason to rebel bro.
I CAN GO ON FOREVER BUT ILL JUST BE MAD
I know this has probably already been done, but consider: A stereotypical trope-heavy sitcom family, but it turns out that all the annoying toxic clichés that seem to be in play are actually subverted in ways that are conversely wholesome.
Like a husband who keeps making morbid, almost sadistic Boomer Jokes about how much he hates his mother-in-law. Turns out that his wife's childhood was wildly abusive, and it is entirely reasonable of him to not forgive people who tortured the love of his life when she was a child. Wanting to throw that horrid old witch into a wood chipper is the least that he could do.
His male cia contact, hiding tears as he sees bond fuck a woman in space: please notice me senpai (;﹏;)
How is James bond not dead yet. He's so easily distracted. Just put some skimpily clad woman in front of him and wham. Dead. Easy.
rhaegar x lyanna shippers explaining how elia actually would’ve been totally fine with her husband running off with a 15yr old because she wasn’t healthy enough to give him a third child that he wanted

Rhaegar and Lyanna—well, that’s a revelation that will need to wait for later volumes. But if you are uncertain about it, I am glad. That is one thing I wanted to do was suggest the uncertainty of truth. I mean, think about it. In our own world, we don’t even now what happened between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings … The truth of Rhaegar and Lyanna may be similarly elusive … for a time. - GRRM
GRRM comparing the oh so romanticized Thomas Jefferson & Sally Hemmings to the oh so romanticized Rhaegar & Lyanna is so confusing to me?
- Without question Thomas Jefferson was a real life slave owner and r*pist to teenage Sally Hemmings. Yet American media/“history” was disgusting enough to try and “romanticize the two as a love story” 🤮
Therefore George is either showcasing how troubling the story is between R/L comparing them to a historically monstrous relationship between another teen girl and far more powerful man….or he’s buying into the romanticism? 🤮

I honestly like kinda hate the whole "TERFs DNI!!!!!!" "TERFs fucking kill yourself!!!!!" thing that TME ppl do on here, like idk I don't think it's wrong to signal that virtue but like it's 1,000,000x more helpful to trans women on here to just go block a bunch of them so that when you're reblogging us or from us, chuds have one less person through which they can find us
