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.

#asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #rhaegar targaryen #elia martell #eliarhaegar #rhaegar x elia #house targaryen #house martell #SCREAMMMM #i love these two so much #the only thing they do have in common is all of the vitamin deficiencies #and like. i don’t think they hated each other #at least not at first #i don’t think they were always unhappy in each other’s presence #but i think fundamentally they could not understand each other #similar but different to viserys i think growing up in aerys’ household probs just fundamentally broke something inside rhaegar #you’re not going to be normal when you’re raised like that #whereas elia i think was pretty… well not necessarily normal but not blood curse and doom rot and depraved father #yet she’s married to… that
