Details of GENDRYA;

“Septa Mordane used to say I had a blacksmith's hands."

Gendry hooted. "Those soft little things?" he called out.

Aegon: it’s always ‘Stormy is a boring color’, okay and what about his face card-

Dorne and house Martell week > day 3: favorite pre-series era Dornish(wo)man

Princess Elia Nymeros Martell was the fourth child and first daughter born to the ruling Unnamed Princess of Dorne, and the second surviving infancy after Doran. Born a month premature, her health was always delicate. Elia was said to be beautiful, slender with black eyes. She was gentle, kind and clever with a sweet wit. Born about a decade after Doran but one year before Oberyn, she was particularly close to her younger brother. Elia and Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen were betrothed in 279 AC and married the year after. Their marriage, although not romantic, seemed happy. Two children were born of their union: Rhaenys and Aegon, but the pregnancies strongly affected her health. Set up on his prophecy quest, Rhaegar humiliated her by crowning 16-year old Lyanna Stark Queen of Love and Beauty at the Tourney of Harrenhal, and then, by sparking Robert’s Rebellion following his kidnapping of Lyanna. During Robert’s Rebellion, she was kept with her children at King’s Landing by King Aerys II as hostages to prevent Dornish betrayal and to blackmail Kingsguard Lewyn Martell. She was murdered, alongside her children, during the Sack of King’s Landing by Gregor Clegane.

Opinion on drogo and Daenerys?

i love the story of a girl who experiences unimaginable abuse and emerges victorious while the abuser is somehow just that irrelevant guy in her past, just a step towards her empowerment and nothing more. "if i look back i'm lost", i think it's a very radical and hopeful narrative.

You really got down to the core of what bothers me with how the fandom discusses this topic. Instead of what's actually happening, which is this behaviour being normalized in their society it's treated like an individual's predatory behaviour/sexual perversion when the former is just so much more fucked up.

i hate “pedophilia” in almost all cases it’s used in but it’s especially frustrating to me here because the culturally normative eroticization of young women is not an individual pathology but a master key to westerosi society’s particular system of gendered subjugation. men are really into pubescent virgin girls because of a social system where the total control of women’s reproductive capacity and thus sexuality by men, fathers and then husbands, is the foundation of the ordering hierarchy of a society obsessed with passing on property and power through the male line. young girls are idealized erotic objects because they are “untouched” by other men and easier to achieve various forms of emotional mastery over to make easier the social mastery that is integral to uncontested patriarchal succession by blood; the social mastery makes emotional mastery inevitable; that social and emotional mastery means that young women are available to be used sexually by men without regards for their own wishes or agency or sexual fulfillment. its feminism 101 shit and frameworks like “pedophilia” discard it to make it about individual creeps. it’s frustrating in modern contexts too; the secret to csa is largely not the aberrant desire for children but that the domination of children by adults is still a structuring hierarchy of society and that this is processed erotically and the subordination of children is both used by people for unethical sexual satisfaction and that sexual violence is used to further subordinate children.

I'm glad more people are on the "hating the way condal and co write alicent" train, but it's a bit funny that people are only now starting to see it for what it is. Unfortunately, this is where it has been heading at least since s1ep8.

Jaehaera and Aegon III would have been more interesting.

Jaehaera was tiny and slow to grow. She did not cry, she did not smile, she did none of the things a babe was meant to do.

Aegon III was now eleven, Jaehaera only eight. Once wed, they had very little contact with one another save on formal occasions, and even that was rare, as the little queen was loath to leave her chambers.

“They have no joy in them; they neither laugh nor play. The girl wets her bed at night and weeps inconsolably when she is corrected. Her own ladies say that she is eight, going on four.

So, in what world is that forced ''relationship'' more intresting? It was torture for both of them, it would have never worked and they would have avoided each other for the entirety of it (as they did when they were children); Jaehaera would never heal Aegon III and he would never heal Jaehaerea; They were both 'broken', Aegon got along with Gaemon and Daenaera because they were 'happier' and the opposite of his state.

But Green stans don't care how the forced marriage and pregnancy would be cruel to Jaehaera (that she is eight, going on four); They want the green bloodline to have continued, because no matter what they say, the fact that the Green line did not survive bothers them, that's why many of them even cling on the supposed bastards Aegon and Aemond have;

And no, I don't wish for Jaehaera to die, she was an innocent girl and did not deserve to suffer and be killed for a man's ambition (Peake); But there was no chance of healing for her and Aegon in that marriage, nor was it more intresting.

As for HotD.... I doubt there would be even a wedding between Jaehaera and Aegon III, they have 16 episodes to cover the entire war and the aftermath, and the fact they aged down the characters (especially Aegon III and his arc with Stormcloud and seeing his mother die) tells me they don't really care about the children; the show is about ''Alicent and Rhaenyra'' after all, so maybe they will give Alicent a different death and it would be a wrap for HotD.

no mourners, no funerals
