teen girl betting it all on forbidden star crossed romance with a white haired brooding bishonen prince is THE generic YA romantasy, he’s emo, he’s got dark dark secrets, he’s got daddy issues
Lyanna just didn’t know what series she was in
#Lyanna stark you will always be famous#textually she’s chained to Arya Stark but her actions and choices are Sansa#life is not a song sweetling you’ll learn this to your sorrow#the gendered wish fulfilment Theon Jon Jaime all dreaming of respect and glory#Renly’s knights of summer#and like the fuels eager for war and blood she took the first step of her own volition on the path that would lead her to her death#as a work of medievalism simultaneously comments on the modern reception of the Middle Ages as much as fantasy tropes#fairytales and pop history it’s not supposed to be hard realism#more parallels#Cersei Cat and Lyanna the motherless daughters of high lords#they form a triangle of gender role performance#and paternal conflict#Loras and Elia Sand form two points of another triangle#Horse Kid with Lance seeks Dude of Targaryen descent#valyrianscrolls#asoiaf#cersei lannister#catelyn tully#elia sand#loras tyrell
