#The Martell Family

[eddtollett]

arya is probably the only person who has kissed and held balerion since his rhaenys died. you ever think of that

[fruitageoforanges]

elia martell character of all time because she was playing the game of thrones AND WINNING — survived aerys, set up an alternate court on dragonstone, universally beloved even by most of robert’s anti-targ regime, was probably at least angling to get rid of aerys — but the literal song of ice and fire was being written around her and well. you can’t outrun your inevitable doom.

like. that’s elia’s tragedy, and what makes me so insane about her. she was in the wrong story. she was playing the game of court politics but ended up yoked to 300 years of targaryen collapse and dynastic rot instead. there’s nothing i love more than characters doing their best with the pieces they can see on the board, while the fact slowly dawns on them that the board is in the process of being swallowed by an eldritch monster.

[a-chaotic-dumbass]

when its time to cry over house tully again and edmure's kindness and care for his people and brynden's loyalty to a seemingly dead cause and hoster's grief and regret over lysa's marriage by his last days and catelyn's love for her family which ran so deep that she now haunts the riverlands as a punishment for those who wronged them

“Rhaenys, Daughter of Elia„

What could’ve been😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

first post chat :D I’m actually so scared of posting this, so pleasee be nice 🙏

this is heavily inspired by a fic I read a few years ago where everyone survived and Rhaenys has vitiligo but everyone thinks shes like cursed or smth?? (the writing is amazing but I think the author deleted it 😔 or maybe its just my dream i cant tell the difference these days)

[nervouscunt]

Elis Nymeros Martell of Dorne.

[catofoldstones]

I wonder what it would feel like to find out that your husband and father of your two children is a paedophile at Super Bowl in front of the whole of country because that’s what Elia felt.

[stasiereads]

rhaegar targaryen k*lled his whole family. I said what I said.

this is one of the most unlikeable male targaryens, I never understood why so many people obsess over him and defend him. this guy is a cheater and would be a shitty king (was a shitty prince, husband and father after all).

[asongofstarkandtargaryen]

Reason #1000 that Elia fans are reading a different book:

Elia Martell ??? being the character of all time??? A character who is dead long before the main series appears???

Her husband Rhaegar and Lyanna have much a larger impact on the main series and still if anyone said they are the characters of all time, I'd find it insulting for all the complex pov characters that actually appear on the series.

And what's all this fanfiction about Elia winning the game of thrones? We barely know anything about her. The only part of her story that is important to the main series is her tragic end. Which serves as the motivation for a secondary non pov character ( Oberyn).

That's the importance of "the character of all time", lol.

[throwawayasoiafaccount]

I don’t mean to create a straw man, but when people attack Lyanna by stating she ‘should’ve done her duty,’ they are, frankly, advocating for her to have been raped.

However, I doubt that group is ready to have this conversation.

[atopvisenyashill]

it is sometimes actually emotionally painful to get quotes about lyanna and elia, sometimes i really feel like george is hiding a sibling that died when he was a kid because he writes the way that specific grief of being an older sibling who loses a younger sibling when one or both of you are also incredibly young so well, too well. this is why i'm nervous for twow because i just KNOW we are going to get some crazyyyyyy sad passages not just about elia and lyanna but likely from the lannister trio, the starklings, the sand snakes, maybe even from tommen or myrcella and i'm like I CAN'T FUCKING TAKE THIS SHIT MAN.

[thornbriar]

So I did the soon to be x’s (okay this pun was too good to pass up) colorwheel trend and I finally finished it the other day!

ELIA WEEK D-2:

Elia and her brothers/parents:

art cred: owned and created by @yosb <3

Parents headcanons

They were very attentive to her health flunctuations ever since she was a babe

The Princess felt so guilty but her Prince would constanly reassure and support her

"We'll do our best for her... Do not worry. This one will live. I know she will!"

They coddled her a lot

Elia was a fussy baby

Septas and milk mother had to shoo him away because he was overlooking everything

Princess Elia was often sick and the first five years her parents had sleepless nights

Silently staring at the night skies hoping to not have to bury yet another babe/child

But Elia fought each and every one

Elia was always clear vocal and could express herself very well ever since she was young

Having no issues to express an idea or feelings

So much she was the only one to "pacify" childgremlin!Oberyn

She always had the right words to say to soothe him

The Prince had maesters and foreign physicians come from far to examine their daughter to see if she could be healed

But each would fail and send him into a black rage

Against everyone the maesters, physicians and the gods

His little "sundrop” his only daughter was suffering of an ailment

And no maester, physician or even the gods were answering his prayers and pleas

Elia obviously her daddys apple eye

She takes her kind temper after him

He was a cunning witty but sweet man

but since she was her mothers only surviving daughter you can say she was also a mommys girl

One time Rhaenys got really sick everyone thought it was the end that night Princess Loreza and the little Princess were saying affirmations like a prayer

It gave her the litlle bravery she needed thus every night since then Loreza would recite those affirmations to her

Her and her father would have afternoons of fun telling each other jokes and reading books to each other

Since she couldn't leave the castle walls her father would bring books, maps, parcments and paintings of places all over the world

Just so she could see them from her sickbed (I'm sobbing while typing this)

Prince Quentyn (yep their father) would stay hours after Elia fell asleep. Just to watch her breath, just watch her little chest raise and fall in peaceful bliss

He wished to burn this image. Their first daughter, alive, breathing in bed. Fighting every bit of her sickness she could through her frail body

The Prince was heartbroken each time Elia would moan that sh'e in pain

If he could take all her pain to himself he would have...

Prince Quentyn would forsee her political education while his wife was running the Kingdom

On namesdays they would have the best actors and singers of the 7 9 Kingdoms or from the world come for Elia

Elia loved circuses and grandiose performances and magic

So her brothers and parents would have them come every year just so see her smile and laugh

Just to see her eyes twinkle in wonder and joy 😭

Prince Quentyn would cry every year thankful to have such a gorgeous sundrop

He would get frustrated with Oberyn because he had the fancy of kidnapping his sister to "adventure"

Elia didn't mind at all, those escapes were her only chances to see the outside world

Once he passed (some years right before her marriage) Elia had terrible time reading to herself

Her sweet reading companion had departed...

She promised herself to do the same with her children

After his death Elia prefered people reading to her or reading to people

Reading alone always feels empty... but sometimes

Just some rare moments, she'd imagine a familiar hand carresing her head in a soothing motion

"Keep reading! I adore your voice, My little sundrop..."

Originally Loreza was to choose a husband through letters and extensive negotiations

But when Oberyn objected to it suggesting they should prove themselves to Elia herself

Loreza agreed

She wanted to be the one to annonce to her daughter they would travel for suitors

Just to see her eyes lit up

Her husband would have disagreed

However this wasn't a life she wished for their daughter

Princess Loreza wanted her daughter to have a good husband that would take care of her

When the tour didn't turn out well Loreza came to terms that maybe she would be safer in Dorne after all

Until she recieved the royal seal

This was an honor

Ever since, Loreza enforced Elia's political and court knowledge

Making sure her daughter was informed and read for that environment

Right before the wedding both cried to each other

Elia swore she would make it, and make her and her father proud

Loreza ordered her little brother to watch and guard Elia from this shit city

Ser Lewyn and her were each others allies

Her pregnacy made Princess Loreza anxious

But word of a safe delivery and healthy granddaughter and daughter put her to rest

Princess Loreza died before she could meet her grandaughter

Few weeks after Elia was announced to visit Dorne to present the Princess Rhaenys Targaryen to the Dornish court

Elia was devastated and was granted to visit Dorne shortly after

The last act she tried to enact was a large sum of gold waiting for her in the Iron Bank

For her and her bloodline "in case something would happen"

Ser Lewyn was the last place of comfort and familiarity she had in Kingslanding

He would listen to her, confort her, gossip/spy for her,...

And once he left for the Riverlands she truely felt alone

The news of his death broke her

Her parents she had grace to restrain herself

But her sweet uncle, her oldest friend and ally, her last link to their House was gone

Elia knew then, she had to make it home somehow

in a way she did...

Familial FOS PERSONALITY TYPES AND HOW THEY INTERACT WITH MINE

(I'm not going to lie, this will be MUCH longer than my previous ones)

INFP X INFP

INFPs will typically have a weird “mind-reading” connection with other INFPs. That said, these types are so individualistic that if they have opposing values their connection can be like a bomb about to explode. When INFPs have friendships with other like-minded INFPs they tend to feel heard, seen, and inspired. Together they can explore each other’s imaginative inner worlds, fight for similar causes, and listen to each other without fear of external pressures and rules.

INFP X ESFJ

Warmth and passion are often at the heart of this friendship or relationship. ESFJ/INFP partnerships can be tumultuous or deeply rewarding depending on how willing both types are to understand and respect each other. ESFJs often appreciate the quiet tenderness of INFPs. INFPs can help them to tap into a deeper, truer sense of who they are and what they value. In contrast, ESFJs can provide INFPs with a friendly, down-to-earth haven with which to be themselves and share their ideas.

INFP X ESFP

These two types tend to click because they have a shared passion for authenticity and adventure. ESFPs can help break INFPs out of their shell and introduce them to a variety of exciting experiences. Their enthusiasm and fun-loving nature is often endearing to INFPs. In turn, INFPs can help ESFPs to tap into their emotions more fully and experience life with more depth and imagination. These types tend to bounce ideas and possibilities off each other well, with the ESFP wanting to immediately take action on ideas and the INFP going along for the ride and frequently enjoying the thrill!

INFP X ESTJ

ESTJs and INFPs tend to have fiery interactions – sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. They are opposites in many ways while still sharing the same cognitive functions. ESTJs are often drawn to the quiet sensitivity and creativity of INFPs while INFPs are drawn to the pragmatic, logical nature of ESTJs. If both types can be patient with each other’s differences there is a lot of opportunity in this friendship or partnership for personal growth and broader perspectives.

INFP X ISFP

ISFPs and INFPs tend to have a really strong and powerful connection almost immediately. They both are dominant introverted feeling types, so they naturally give each other space to be themselves. They are both idealistic and visionary, with ISFPs having a more down-to-earth, pragmatic bent while INFPs are more focused on imagination and conceptualization. Together they can broaden each other’s worlds and help each other to have more open-minded, balanced perspectives.

INFP X INFJ

INFJs and INFPs share a mutual love of meaningful, deep conversation. These types tend to thrive as friends when they give each other space to be their authentic selves. While they share none of the same cognitive functions, because they share three preferences (Introversion, Intuition, Feeling) they tend to respect each other’s individual needs, empathize readily, and connect over ideas and possibilities.

INFP x INTJ

While these types might seem like opposites at first glance, they actually have quite a bit in common. They both look inward to their values and outwards to efficacy when they make decisions. They are both introverts and intuitives. They enjoy exploring ideas, theories, and possibilities together. They also respect each other’s personal values and autonomy.

INFP X ESTP

ESTJs and INFPs tend to have fiery interactions – sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. They are opposites in many ways while still sharing the same cognitive functions. ESTJs are often drawn to the quiet sensitivity and creativity of INFPs while INFPs are drawn to the pragmatic, logical nature of ESTJs. If both types can be patient with each other’s differences there is a lot of opportunity in this friendship or partnership for personal growth and broader perspectives.

INFP X INTP 

INTPs and INFPs have a shared love of freedom, exploration, and autonomy. INTPs prefer thinking over feeling so they may come across as overly blunt to INFPs, and INFPs may come across as overly-sensitive to INTPs. However, once they get to understand each other there’s usually a very strong bond and mutual appreciation. Both respect each other’s space to feel and think what they want and both have a creative energy that is inspiring to the other.

INFP X ISFJ 

ISFJs and INFPs create a bubble of warmth and empathy for each other. These types usually click very quickly. They share a mutual sense of empathy, warmth, and gentleness. At the same time, ISFJs bring a more grounded presence to the relationship while INFPs help to clarify values, bring ISFJs into their pure identity, and give a spark of imagination. These types share two cognitive functions: Extraverted Intuition and Introverted Sensation. Because of this, while they have some differences, there is still a mutual sense of comfort here.

INFP X ENTJ

ENTJs and INFPs are very different at first glance, but these two types can really help each other grow. INFPs are often inspired by the big-picture, strategic, action-oriented nature of the ENTJ. ENTJs in turn find the warmth, authenticity, and imagination of the INFP intriguing. They can both help each other in contrasting ways. ENTJs can help INFPs bring their ideas to life and tap into their thinking side. They can also help them refine their ideas and create strategies for their realization. INFPs, in turn, can help ENTJs delve into their deeper feelings and values. They can also help them to see innovative alternatives and possibilities so they don’t get stuck in tunnel vision.

INFP X ENTP

ENTPs and INFPs share a mutual love of exploration, imagination, and creativity. While these types can have some friction due to their differing judging processes (ENTPs are auxiliary thinkers and INFPs are dominant feelers), these same differences can help them grow as individuals. This friendship or relationship pairing may be a little fiery and argumentative at times, but if both types can work at understanding each other’s type preferences it can also be one of growth and refinement.
