[lizzie-queenofmeigas]

From F&B/ASOIAF: Your favorite ship (canon or not)? Your least favorite ship? Your favorite character? Your least favorite character? Which character do you think deserved better?

I have three favourite ships in the asoiaf world:

1_Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen

2_Rhaenyra Targaryen and Daemon Targaryen

3_Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen

My least favourite ship is Jonsa. Normally I don't care about crackships, but their stans take it too far.

Daenerys Targaryen is my queen, she is mother, she is our lady and saviour who will deliver us from the darkness.

Honestly I think is Sansa, I didn't care for her while reading the books or even watching the show, but her stans made me hate her.

Rhaenyra deserved better.

Daenerys, Rhaegar & Viserys by Denis Maznev

[romanoffstarkovs]

Rhaenys Targaryen (Daughter of Rhaegar)

In the tumultuous world of Westeros, Rhaenys Targaryen was born as the daughter of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Princess Elia Martell, carrying the blood of both fire and ice within her veins. She was born with a spirit as fierce as her mother's Martell heritage and a deep sense of honor from her father's Targaryen lineage.

As a young girl, Rhaenys led a sheltered life within the Red Keep, surrounded by the love of her parents and her baby brother Aegon. Despite the turbulence that plagued her family's legacy, Rhaenys remained a bright and hopeful child, with dreams of peace and unity in the realm.

However, Rhaenys' idyllic childhood was shattered when the realm was torn apart by the rebellion of Robert Baratheon. In the Sack of King's Landing, her beloved father was killed on the Trident, and her mother and brother were brutally murdered by Ser Gregor Clegane, leaving Rhaenys as the sole surviving member of her immediate family.

In a twist of fate, a loyal servant of House Targaryen managed to smuggle young Rhaenys out of the city during the chaos of the sack. Under the guise of a commoner, Rhaenys was hidden away in a small village far from the reach of the Lannisters and their allies. For years, she lived in obscurity, her Targaryen identity carefully concealed to ensure her safety.

But as she grew into her teenage years, a burning desire for vengeance consumed Rhaenys. She could not forget the atrocities committed against her family, nor the names of those responsible. Fuelled by anger and grief, she vowed to avenge her loved ones and reclaim her birthright as a Targaryen princess.

Under the alias of Nyssa, she honed her combat skills in secret, training with various swordsmen and learning the arts of deception and survival. She also began gathering loyal supporters who believed in the return of House Targaryen. With her fiery determination and charismatic leadership, Nyssa garnered a small but devoted band of followers.

As Nyssa, she traveled throughout the Seven Kingdoms, gathering intelligence about Robert Baratheon and Gregor Clegane. She learned about their weaknesses and the people who could be swayed to support her cause. Rhaenys was no longer the innocent child she once was; she had transformed into a determined and strategic young woman, ready to exact her revenge.

As Rhaenys Targaryen set out on her quest for vengeance and reclaiming her family's honor, rumors began to circulate about a boy known as Young Griff, who claimed to be Aegon Targaryen, her long-lost brother and the true heir to the Iron Throne. Rhaenys heard these whispers with a mix of surprise and suspicion. For years, she had believed her baby brother to have been murdered as an infant, and now, this supposed pretender threatened her claim to the throne.

Furious at the audacity of Young Griff's claim, Rhaenys refused to believe that he could be her brother. She was certain that her family's enemies were using this deception to sow discord and further destabilize the realm. In her eyes, the Iron Throne was hers and hers alone by right of birth, and she would not let any impostor take that from her.

Determined to uncover the truth, Rhaenys set out to investigate Young Griff's claim. She delved into the history and the lineage of House Targaryen, seeking any evidence that could prove or disprove the boy's identity. Along her journey, she encountered various allies and foes, each with their own agendas and motives.

As she traveled, Rhaenys became increasingly convinced that Young Griff was an imposter. She dismissed any evidence presented in support of his claim, attributing it to mere fabrications and propaganda. Her grief over the loss of her family, the betrayal she had faced, and the longing for her rightful place on the throne fueled her determination to expose Young Griff as a fraud.

Rhaenys's path eventually led her to a confrontation with Young Griff and his supporters. She challenged him to prove his true identity, but the boy's unwavering conviction in his Targaryen heritage only further fueled her skepticism. The encounter only served to deepen the rift between them, as each clung to their claim with unyielding determination.

As the realm remained divided, with factions supporting both Rhaenys and Young Griff, tensions escalated, leading to political intrigue and even armed conflict. Rhaenys found herself entangled in a complex web of alliances, betrayals, and shifting loyalties, as various factions sought to claim the throne for their chosen claimant.

Throughout the turmoil, Rhaenys remained resolute in her belief that she was the true and rightful heir to the Iron Throne. She was willing to do whatever it took to secure her place on the throne, even if it meant facing her brother's supposed claim head-on. Her journey for vengeance had transformed into a fight for her family's legacy and her birthright.

As the realm teetered on the edge of chaos and war, Rhaenys Targaryen stood tall, determined to take her rightful place as the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. The fires of her ancestors burned within her, driving her forward in her quest for power and justice. The struggle for the Iron Throne was far from over, and Rhaenys knew she had to be prepared to face any challenge that stood in her way.

haiii ask game 6 10 16 😈

Goin right for the throat I see well here u go I wish my answers were more exciting!

6. Most annoying ship fans

I live in a blissfully well curated timeline world it’s a beautiful place to live and avoid disk horse but there was a time where some cersei x jaime enthusiasts who really liked shitting brienne which is a fucking thought crime

10. Worst part of fanon

All endings that involve the status quo being unchanged

People tricked by Targ Propaganda

Whatever some daemyras think is going on

16. I Don’t Get The Appeal

There are plenty of ships that I don’t personally care for but I’m not one to yuck on someone’s yums unless they’re being a huge dick

The only thing that majorly boggles me is rhaegar defense squad fans I guess?

[la-pheacienne]

Yeah I'm mainly on the Rhaegar defense squad because the hate I've seen is mainly directed on him, but I've got a few glimpses of slut shaming here and there lately and I'm just...... Ok Rhaegar I get it, he was the one who was married with kids, he was the heir who had the political responsibility, but Lyanna? Wtf?????

You are convinced that Aemond raped Alys and your reasoning is "Alys Rivers was a war prize “proving” Aemond’s power and military prowess. If you are taken as a war prize, you are an object, a literal reward or prize. You have no ability to even give consent because your other option is violence/death. Aemond raped her and this son is a rape baby." Your words not mine. Then I click on your blog and you ship Rhaegar and Lyanna lol lets apply that logic to them now! The Greens suck but come on.

Disclaimer: I might edit this post a lot because I might realize some things.

1)

Did you know, anon, that the word “rape” in medieval society could either mean the sexual attack or just straight up taking a woman/girl away from her father/brother/husband’s control and authority? Or whenever a female laborer of a household has been taken out of her previous household, unlicensed by her lord?

Its roots come from the Latin word, “rapere” and its past participle “raptus”:

“the usual Latin word being stuprare "to defile, ravish, violate," which is related to stuprum (n.) "illicit sexual intercourse," literally "disgrace," stupere "to be stunned, stupefied" (see stupid). Latin raptus, past participle of rapere, used as a noun meant "a seizure, plundering, abduction”

Rape had the legal and cultural meaning of “property-taking”, sometimes more than when a someone forced a woman into sex. And it comes from ancient Roman culture, literature, and ideas medieval societies would be adopting into their own systems (Ovid's Fasti and Livy's History of Rome): The Rape of Lucrece. 

Of which medieval or Reniassance writers have made use to create doubt and suspicion for the state of their various female character’s chastity. Why does such matter in those stories? A woman’s chastity is linked to nation building and male-alliances. Marriages were for alliance, resources and power -- not love. Lyanna was arranged to marry Robert because of power and resources and to strengthen/solidify the alliance already set up by Ned and Robert’s friendship before.

So when we go back to A World of Ice and Fire, which says:

“Brandon Stark, the heir to Winterfell, had to be restrained from confronting Rhaegar at what he took as a slight upon his sister's honor, for Lyanna Stark had long been betrothed to Robert Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End. Eddard Stark, Brandon's younger brother and a close friend to Lord Robert, was calmer but no more pleased. As for Robert Baratheon himself, some say he laughed at the prince's gesture, claiming that Rhaegar had done no more than pay Lyanna her due...but those who knew him better say the young lord brooded on the insult, and that his heart hardened toward the Prince of Dragonstone from that day forth.” (pg. 127)

We get the sense that the Starks percieved Rhaegar taking Lyanna and even just gifting her the crown of blue roses as defiling her female chastity. It wasn’t about her and what she wanted it was about Robert’s claim over her. And it was more about Ned’s ties to Robert and why he was sent to the Eyrie to be fostered in the first place, where he befriended Robert -- to create alliances amongst various families.

By contrast, Lyanna clearly did not want, respect, nor love Robert. When we read AGoT and keep track of Lyanna and Rhaegar (not their families, but themselves), we see that Lyanna wanted Rhaegar over Robert and they formed a genuine relationship.

She expressed to Ned:

"Robert will never keep to one bed,” Lyanna had told him at Winterfell, on the night long ago when their father had promised her hand to the young Lord of Storm's End. "I hear he has gotten a child on some girl in the Vale." Ned had held the babe in his arms; he could scarcely deny her, nor would he lie to his sister, but he had assured her that what Robert did before their betrothal was of no matter, that he was a good man and true who would love her with all his heart. Lyanna had only smiled. "Love is sweet, dearest Ned, but it cannot change a man's nature.”

(A Game of Thrones; Eddard IX )

AND

"You never knew Lyanna as I did, Robert," Ned told him. "You saw her beauty, but not the iron underneath. She would have told you that you have no business in the melee."

(A Game of Thrones; Eddard VII)

AND

Robert reached for the flagon and refilled his cup. "You see what she does to me, Ned." The king seated himself, cradling his wine cup. "My loving wife. The mother of my children." The rage was gone from him now; in his eyes Ned saw something sad and scared. "I should not have hit her. That was not … that was not kingly." He stared down at his hands, as if he did not quite know what they were. “I was always strong … no one could stand before me, no one. How do you fight someone if you can’t hit them?” Confused, the king shook his head. “Rhaegar … Rhaegar won, damn him. I killed him, Ned, I drove the spike right through that black armor into his black heart, and he died at my feet. They made up songs about it. Yet somehow he still won. He has Lyanna now, and I have her.” The king drained his cup.”

(A Game of Thrones; Eddard X)

So, if Robert, a canon and confirmed serial rapist (Cersei) and sexual abuser of children (that 14 year old sex worker that even Ned was like “...bro”) by the time he was 40ish, could not see that Lyanna did not want him and only thought of how pretty she was....while Rhaegar gifted her the crown of roses for her participation and victories at the Harrenhal tourney (however politically stupid it was)...who’s the true rapist here? Would Robert have respected Lyanna’s indifference to him if they did get married? Fuck no.

So if there were any persons defining and saying Lyanna was raped, it was never her or about sexual rape but those who would have benefited more from Lyanna marrying Robert & about “stealing” virginity.

And if you wonder why I bother to introduce medieval society when this is a fictional story with European medieval-inspired and not-so-differently modeled infrastructures and ideologies.....I can’t help you.

2)

Lyanna was 16, and they met when she was 15 at the Harrenahl tourney. We remember that she was betrothed to Robert before she turned 16, and Robert was 19/20 at the Harrenhal tourney. Rhaegar was 22/23 at the tourney and 23/24 when he took Lyanna to the Tower of Joy.

Lyanna, by real, American, modern standards, is a minor/child by the time she’s pregnant with Rhaegar’s kid, but she’s an adult by Westerosi age of majority. And she’s past marriageable age. 

To totally ignore that noble women of both real life and Westeros actively were treated as adults and like Rhaenyra Targaryen, actively participated in politics as if they were adults is to:

deny any reality of their political and psychological autonomy and ability to reason

suppose that the man she chose broke a law or principle that is then recognized as a crime

....but if you go back to how I bring up the definition of “rape” and what that means for male-alliances, then you should realize that the crime that anyone would ahev thought happened was that Lyanna was not passed into Robert’s authority (and out of her father and brothers’) and Rhaegar intercepted them.

3)

Robert is Rhaegar’s foil. Rhaegar displays an sense of responsibility and emotional intelligence (if not always a political one) that Robert simply lacks and never bothers to develop.

A foil is:

a literary device designed to illustrate or reveal information, traits, values, or motivations of one character through the comparison and contrast of another character. A literary foil character serves the purpose of drawing attention to the qualities of another character, frequently the protagonist. This is effective as a means of developing a deeper understanding of a character by emphasizing their strengths and weaknesses. In addition, a literary foil allows writers to create a counterpart for the protagonist that puts their actions and choices in context.

And you can look up Rhaegar’s characterization by clicking HERE (of what I collected). But the universal consensus (except for Robert, but fuck him) is that Rhaegae was generally both a good and impressive person. It is actually more in Robert’s than Rhaegar’s character to rape. robert thinks Rhaegar raped Lyanna (the other meaning) because he would have raped her. He feels every man thinks and would treat Cersei/Lyanna as he does/would have. (Meanwhile, can we say that his own friend, Ned, would?)

Rhaegar was a gloomy person and mimics the Byronic Hero trope; Lyanna was a lot more positive and vibrant, mimicing the Rebellious Princess or Spirited Young Lady tropes:

The Rebellious Princess is usually a teenager, typically brash (since it goes hand in hand with being rebellious). If she's not the hero, quite often she's the hero's love interest. This will sometimes invoke Marry for Love not only as another way for her to rebel, but to also get out of an Arranged Marriage. She usually qualifies as a Royal Who Actually Does Something.

Thus these two embody Forbidden Love, Opposites Attract, and dabble into Good, Bad Adultery. Rhaegar loved Lyanna for her positivity an the shared determination to live truthfully between them. Lyanna loved Rhaegar because he had much more of a sense of responsibility, that that responsibility wen teven further than her, that that responsibility went further than most men while not trying to change or repress her or disregard her entire personality for his own nonexistent fantasies of her.

 And tropes =/= “trite” or cliche. You can think of them as building blocks for themes, storylines, and characterizations.

Martin has painstakingly made sure to convey that their story and deaths are tragic not just for them, but for Rhaegar’s ambition to remodel and begin to reverse the damages done in Westerosi history after having learned of the prophecy.

4)

What defines a war prize, anon? Assuming you’ve read the post you seem to be referring to (this ONE), you should know that they are people or things that a warrior claims or is given for a reward for victory or conquest during/after a war/battle.

Lyanna and Rhaegar form a romantic bond before Rhaegar ever actually battles anyone or there was a war happening. Before Robert rebels and lords begin to gather weapons and troops.

It begins with him giving her the crown for Queen of Love and Beauty at the Harrenhal tourney, passing his own wife. You can look at all the posts I have tagged “lyanna and rhaegar”, or click HERE for more.

So just by definition of a war prize, Lyanna was never a war prize. 

[tomakeitbeautifultolive]

Thoughts on the Elia and Rhaegar conflict? If Rhaegar really was obsessed with a prophecy and was fated to fall in love with Lyanna etc. where does that leave elia? I understand Elias story is supposed to show us that innocents die in war but regardless what was Rhaegar planning for his other 2 children? Any ideas? I will never get over their unnecessarily brutal deaths. It was almost written to be cruel for just the sake of being cruel

Hi anon! Oh, I have many thoughts. But first - I have a question for you! What makes you so certain there was a conflict between Rhaegar and Elia at all?

A few months ago I wrote a very hefty meta defending Rhaegar’s honor. I cover the Elia issue very extensively, as well as what the quotes/thoughts about his character tell us about who he was.

That said, I believe Rhaegar loved Elia and his children deeply and that never changed.

Now, about that ‘conflict’:

Rhaegar’s children are named Rhaenys and Aegon (and unfortunately, Aegon lol).

Kind of makes your mind wander to Aegon the Conqueror and his sister-wife, Rhaenys, right? Rhaegar was the one insisting the dragon must have three heads, so many think that his original plan was a second girl, Visenya.

Either way? We’re being nudged to think about Aegon and his wives when we think about Rhaegar.

Pairing that polyamorous relationship with the fact that GRRM chose to make polyamory a Dornish trait? I believe Rhaegar needed a polyamorous wife, narratively, and so Dorne was built around Elia Martell - her culture given a trait that GRRM would like us to extrapolate as Elia possessing, as well.

And Elia, Rhaegar’s dutiful wife, who, according to Dany’s vision, was in on the prophecies and who couldn’t bear any more children… most likely encouraged Rhaegar to take his second, fated wife.

Because the consensus about the show’s depiction of Dorne is that the writers ‘butchered’ it, I think Elia Martell is just another casualty of that.

While Rhaegar crowning Lyanna queen of love and beauty is known as the moment all the smiles died - it’s emphasized that “Elia’s reaction to the event remains unknown” …Well isn’t that convenient?

Also convenient is that Rhaegar takes Lyanna to an obscure tower in Dorne. Why Dorne, of all places?

Further, let’s take a look at House Martell. Oberyn, the one who has a vendetta against Elia’s murderers - signs betrothal pacts between his niece and nephew and the two remaining Targaryens, even planning to raise an army for Viserys.

Yet, who is it that Oberyn actually wants to kill to avenge his sister? Her actual murderers: Tywin Lannister, Gregor Clegane, Armory Lorch.

Let’s take a look at what one of the people who was actually at King’s Landing during the Sack had to say about it. Jaime Lannister.

Rhaegar comes to Jaime in a dream. And Jaime blames himself.

“I left my wife and children in your hands.”“I never thought he’d hurt them. I was with the king…”

Jaime Lannister, Tywin’s own son, did not think his father would hurt Elia or her children. So then, why or how should Rhaegar have known?

“Rhaegar met Robert on the Trident, and you know what happened there. When the word reached court, Aerys packed the queen off to Dragonstone with Prince Viserys. Princess Elia would have gone as well, but he forbade it. Somehow he had gotten it in his head that Prince Lewyn must have betrayed Rhaegar on the Trident, but he thought he could keep Dorne loyal so long as he kept Elia and Aegon by his side.”

Rhaegar had already died before Elia’s murder. She was supposed to go to Dragonstone for safety, but Aerys forbade it.

For all of Rhaegar’s life, Tywin was loyal to House Targaryen. There are even clues in the books that he was likely helping Rhaegar with a plan to overthrow the Mad King.

Tywin, himself, did not even pick a side in the Rebellion until he knew who the winner was. From the wiki:

“When Robert’s Rebellion began, Lord Tywin sat at Casterly Rock and waited, ignoring King Aerys’s orders to arm, taking no side until after Robert Baratheon’s decisive victory at the Battle of the Trident.”

And to prove his loyalty to Robert Baratheon after a lifetime of loyalty to the Targaryens, Tywin ordered the deaths of Elia and her children.

“Gregor Clegane and Amory Lorch, knights sworn to Tywin and under Tywin’s orders, slew Rhaegar’s wife Elia of Dorne and her two young children, Rhaenys and Aegon.”

Tywin was the one who presented the bodies to Robert.

Someone, please explain to me how Rhaegar had anything to do with this.

No, he wasn’t there to protect them. But he was fucking dead. And even had he, alone, returned to King’s Landing, he wouldn’t have been able to protect them.

The thing I wish I had included in my other Rhaegar meta is that while so many also assume he didn’t love his children with Elia… One of the few things we know about Rhaenys is that she hid underneath her father’s bed during the Sack of King’s Landing. If her father was so careless or cruel, why would she go to his bed to hide and feel safe? (aaaand I’m crying)

I gotta tell you, I’m not one of those people who thinks that violence or rape is unnecessary in storytelling. I think these are very real things and that the things found in ASOIAF reflect our own history here on Earth, reflect our own human nature. The mind is very curious about morbid topics, and fiction is one way to explore that in a safe way. It might even help shape our empathy to do so.

Yes, we’re supposed to be absolutely disturbed by it. But this is absolutely how our history was, and it shows the realism, ruthlessness, and evils of not only war, but of power.

Robert Baratheon was a good man once upon a time, but the Rebellion stripped him of his humanity and turned him into a shell of a man.

It’s a horribly tragic, cautionary tale. Upon learning how horrible the Sack of King’s Landing was, we should stop rooting for anyone to sit on that throne. It corrupts. This is why I don’t personally want Jon or Dany on that throne - though luckily, they’re already disillusioned with rule. I’d rather the damned monstrosity just be destroyed.

Her majesty queen Daenerys Targaryen, rightful queen of the seven kingdoms, by VOGUE.

[Edits are made by me]

[movie-magic]

[themockingpoint]

“Do you really think Lyanna would really allow herself to be raped?”

No. No I do not. Because no one “allows” themself to be raped. That is why it is called rape and not consensual sex!!!

[rainhadaenerys]

The Starklings idolize, draw strength from Robb and want to be like him, the same way Dany is with Rhaegar. And guess what the fandom does? Take the Starklings idolization of Robb as a good inspirational thing, and Dany’s idolization of Rhaegar as a bad thing. Sure, there are a few metas here and there about the costs of the War of the Five Kings and Robb’s role in the horrors that happened, but people never really demonize him. People might recognize that his war is bad for the smallfolk, and even recognize that his motivations for war are personal revenge for his father, but people will still sympathize with him and recognize his good intentions. Meanwhile, Rhaegar is completely demonized. Everything positive that is said about him is dismissed as “unreliable narration” (because apparently there’s not even a drop of truth to literally everyone singing praises to Rhaegar). Rhaegar’s personal motivation for running away with Lyanna, his love for her, are seen as something that makes him a monster, or even distorted to seem that he never loved her at all (he freaking died saying her name, ffs), while the fandom doesn’t do the same with Robb’s personal motivations for war (his love for his father). And Rhaegar didn’t even start a war like Robb. Sure, he made something really reckless in running away with Lyanna, but starting a war was not his intention, meanwhile Robb did start a war.

And I can’t help but think this is very connected to Dany hate. Robb is not demonized because he is a Stark and connected to the Starklings, Rhaegar is demonized because Dany MUST be wrong about her brother, she MUST be wrong about looking up to him and this MUST be seen as a character flaw for her. Dany MUST NOT have any rights to the throne. The Rebellion must be 100% right in everything, they must be perfectly justified, to justify the idea that Dany is wrong in wanting the throne back. So Rhaegar and his actions during the Rebellion must be seen in the worst light possible.

I truly don’t care about Rhaegar as a character. He is too much of a minor character for me to feel anything about him. But the Rhaegar hate does bother me, because to me it’s very clear that Rhaegar hate (as well as Targaryen hate) is connected to Dany hate. Sure, not everyone who hates Rhaegar hates Dany, but it seems to me that Rhaegar hate only really got as popular as it is because the fandom in general has an anti Targaryen sentiment (and this anti Targaryen sentiment comes from anti Dany sentiment). Even people who might not hate Dany are still influenced by fandom climate, so to me it does seem like there’s a clear connection. Because it’s always everything that is connected to Dany in a positive way that ends up being demonized.

Rhaegar Defense Squad

Cause nobody said a bad word about him except Robert Bartheon and he was a drunk.

No one knows anything about Elia and him so stop making assumptions that she was a delicate flower. I doubt that the noble Rhaegar would disown his other children just because he fell in love

For Want of a Nail

I haven't self promoted in a while, have I? and I have been unactive from the ASOIAF fandom for a while too, I thought I'd never return...

But hey! I've been meaning to write this for a long time, so come and check it out.

[megsarts]

The woman is important too...

Can someone PLEASE explain to me why the Targaryens always get the blame for everything Tywin Lannister did during the Rebellion?
