#Rhaesaria

God forbid a rape survivor fall in love and have a libido and kiss (Mysaria initiated the kiss!) someone she wants to kiss after sharing deeply and hugging each other.

(The description wasn't graphic at all, by the way. Nor would the book, which is a faux history written much later by a maester, have any info like this but that doesn't mean it ought not to be there)

Side note I love the way op talks like rape and incest abuse is some unbelievable thing that never happens, whether in their society or ours. That kind of disbelief and Othering of survivors is exactly what Rhaenyra did so well by not engaging in. She listened and accepted what Mysaria chose to share and *saw her no differently or as less of a person*. She treated her with tenderness and recognized the trust Mysaria was showing in her but didn't categorize her as broken or a freak because some of the cruelest parts of life have been inflicted on her.

That's what people cruel things have been done to need. Acceptance and recognition and respect.

Rhaenyra is a damn faux medieval character and she has better awareness and sensitivity than people who could Google and educate themselves instead of sprewing garbage.

Edit: In the US, which isn't as violent and extreme as Westeros, 1 in 9 girls and 1 in 20 boys are sexually abused by a relative according to RAINN. Survivors are not fairy tale monsters who don't belong in this story. Survivors' presence in stories isn't "irrelevant." Being a survivor or loving one is a common experience for queer women. Supporting a partner who is a survivor is a common part of ff relationships. Survivors are just people who deserve to be able to experience the trust and love and respect for her as a full person Rhaenyra displayed toward Mysaria.

And yeah that's an "aokay sapphic ship." More than that even. It's beautiful.
