"Was she a fair maid?" "She was," said Meera, hopping over a stone, "but there were others fairer still. One was the wife of the dragon prince."

“Early in the year 279 AC, Rhaegar Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone, was formally betrothed to Princess Elia Martell, They were wed the following year”

The cloak of House Targaryen was heavy in his hands, a black weight of duty and history, of songs he did not fully understand. He draped it over her shoulders, the dragon of red and black settling over the sun of orange and gold. Fire and heat. Ash and ruin. (excerpt from wax wings)

my version of rhaegar and elia's wedding—a little mix of westerosi, dornish and valyrian customs ♡

belated valentine's day post... it's my blog, i get to make sappy art of one of the most tragic couples in asoiaf. i maintain that there was a sweet spot, once they got used to each other's oddnesses and before everything went to shit, when they were happy.

So there are Rhaegar & Elia (Rhaelia) shippers that exist ? For true... ?

The asoiaf fandom never stop to surprise me...

Going through the Elia Martell x Rhaegar Targaryen tag on ao3 is like walking around the streets of Gotham unarmed

Prince Rhaegar & Princess Elia Valyrian Wedding 🩸☀️

Lyanna stans have a big mouth for criticizing Elia/Rhaegar ship and calling it unrealistic (when they were literally married in the books and had 2 kids). But they are the same people who ship Lyanna/Jaime, Lyanna/Arthur, and many others. Mind you, there is not a single reference in the books to these relationships. But you know who does. Elia Martell has a correlation with these men and it is a Canon according to the books and she had several suitors before she married Rhaegar. So once again Lyanna stans are jealous because their bitch doesn't have that by the way they call her Princess Lyanna and there is no way she can be a princess. It's completely unrealistic. Even if she married Rhaegar, the most she would get is a noble lady. Elia Martell is already a princess because that's her birth title, she didn't get it from Rhaegar. Elia is her own person.

(Also just because elia stans posted fan art of elia with rhaegar doesn't mean they like rhaegar. It's too big for your little mind to comprehend).

how did it end? x hoax x my tears ricochet — rhaelia

my twisted knife, my sleepless night, my win-less fight. This has frozen my ground. we hereby conduct this post-mortem // he was a hot house flower to my outdoorsmen. my only one, my kingdom come undone, my broken drum. You have beaten my heart // our maladies were such we could not cure them, and if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too // even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe, all the hell you gave me? and so a touch that was my birthright became foreign

saddest part of elia’s story is that she didn’t even get to haunt the narrative. her death literally meant nothing to no one except for dorne/house martell. no, instead show!lyanna, the woman who ran away with her husband gets the sympathy and her legacy lives on. her ghost haunts robert/cersei/ned, but barely anyone even mentions elia’s name except for oberyn. elia died is such a tragic and cruel way with her children, and will never receive justice because to do so would harm lyanna’s memory.

and i don’t blame book!lyanna, because she was young and most likely a victim herself, i would like to think she’d be angry that elia died like that “for her.” i literally fall to my knees and sob anytime i think of my poor sweet beautiful angel elia and her babies:(

apparently it’s eliarhaegar hours so:

the thing that drives me absolutely nuts about them is how they have so little in common. completely different frames of reference. dorne and king’s landing, the least repressive of the seven kingdoms and the epicentre of westerosi feudalism. a loving family, a family rotten to the core with incest and abuse. the political world, the world of prophecies and doom and dragon blood. they were doomed from the start. they were so, so doomed, they could barely begin to understand each other yet their lives are bound together, and that makes me insane. two completely different worlds colliding and, while they might’ve been able to coexist in each other’s orbit for a while, the collision and the shattering itself are slow, beautiful and inevitable.
