I love that Tyrion isn't a perfect victim. I love that he's angry, vindictive and hateful. I love that he's a real and raw depiction of complex trauma that doesn't shy away from showing the ugly reality of how much a person's mind is damaged after years and years of constant abuse.

I was a wild and rebellious young teenager. The type who would disappear for days, was chronically suspended from school and would throw hands with anyone who needed to be taken down a peg.

I will still do some of those things from time to time, but usually I just fall asleep on the couch sitting up while attempting to watch something like all dads everywhere.

I’m in my “a song of ice and fire” era, so I drew little Ned stark with his boys ;-;;

the way ned & oberyn remember their respective sisters and its role in the story is sooo interesting to me. everything we know about elia + lyanna comes from things people say over a decade after their deaths, and for the readers, ned & oberyn are some of the primary lenses through which we hear about them. these men both love their sisters so deeply, and think & speak of them often. their actions are driven by the distress & aftereffects of their sisters' horrible deaths: ned is so haunted by guilt that he walks into his own demise, and oberyn risks his life and dies for the possibility of justice for elia. they go to these enormous lengths for the sake of their sisters' memory.

simultaneously, though, as readers, we will still never truly know what precisely either of these women was like! we won't know what they thought or felt! even in death, they are so deeply loved by their brothers! but this act of memorialization means that their primary role in the story is as objects of motivation (based on the circumstances of their deaths) completely separate from their own thoughts and desires in life. memory, even loving memory, is fallible. especially so many years later, how these characters remember their sisters is inevitably influenced by their own unconscious assumptions and beliefs; any memory of character/personality is filtered not only through their perceptions, but also through the passage of time and trauma of the horrific circumstances of their deaths.

and that's not to say that it's a bad thing -- i find the story oberyn tells about elia to be extremely touching & meaningful, i think ned's lying for lyanna's sake is one of the most truly 'honorable' things he ever does -- but to point out the tragedy of their role in the story. they are so present in the story in name, and we know how meaningful they were to the people around them. but by the nature of the story's framing, their interiority will always be denied to the readers. we can guess at what exactly they were like, hearing every anecdote and shared memory, but none of these things will ever be able to fully form a true image as these characters were in life, as they knew and saw themselves to be.
