the sun, the dragon, the wolf
Who coined the term 'alpha male' (in the toxic masculinity sense) and were they aware of the omegaverse?
pedestrian tip: look drivers in the eyes (or attempt to, sometimes you cant see in the cars but look where you think theyd be anyway) while you cross the street so that if they decide to hit you they have to grapple with your humanity as they do it
Found out my tablet turns on or off by double tapping the screen. 10/10, absolutly love it
☀️Elia Martell and Lyanna Stark🐺
Theory:
Because Dorne (and some of the characters that we met) is often described as a less conservative (when it comes to romantic and/or sexual relationships) compared to the rest of Westeros.
I like to imagine that Elia was aware of and okay with the relationship between Rhaegar and Lyanna. Why?
That being said, I don't believe that she was just this fragile creature that everyone describes her as. But the contrary, she knew and was supportive of it, specially when we think that although not very frequent, it wasn't unusual for Targaryens to marry more than one person.
And Rhaegar being so obsessed with prophecies, I think he would have told his wife, since other people knew about it (remember Rhaegar is already dead at the beginning of the story, everything we know about him comes from other people's perspective of him, and if they knew about his obsession with prophecies) why not his wife?! The woman that he shared his life, and had kids with.
They named their children Rhaenys and Aegon BECAUSE of the prophecy of The Prince/ss That Was Promised and he wanted a third one because the Dragon must have 3 heads, and they both knew she couldn't have kids anymore, or else she would put her life at risk.
So... because of that, I imagine that she knew about it all along.
About the drawing:
🐺 I've always imagined the Starks (and northerners in general, specially those where the blood of the Fist Men are stronger) looking (physically) like indigenous americans
☀️ While the Martells (and dornish people in general) looking like (specially after Pedro Pascal played the role of Oberyn) Latinos/Arabs (this combo its "funny" because a lot of Latin culture is also heavily influenced by Arab culture, but I dont have time to explain this rn LOL)
A weird thing about getting older is realising how far north you are. As someone who used to go to sleep by ten and wake up at half six I was completly unaware that summer nights are about four hours long.
It's finally autumn in California and the leaves are turning red~
I just want to snuggle up with my huskies so I drew San with her two wolves
This is sort of a repaint of my earlier fanart.
My babies <3
Timelapse
i saw a dumb tweet. here's a poll for people who read a lot of books as kids. there's no moral judgment attached to this poll at all; i do not care if it was your favourite book, that's completely fine, you don't have to lie just because you hate jkr now. answer honestly to the best of your recollection.
I HATE IT WHEN RHAELYA FANS SAY THAT ELIA WANTED RHAEGAR TO TAKE LYANNA AS A SECOND WIFE.
UHM???? FUCK NO!
DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THIS.
first of all, elia was the only daughter of the RULING PRINCESS OF DORNE. do people think her mother sent her off to king’s landing to be disrespected? to be humiliated? NO. she was sent there to be the next fucking queen. aside from political ambitions, the princess of dorne was canonically friends with both joanna AND rhaella. she entrusted her daughter to her friend’s son.
second, elia knew how different the rest of westeros treated their women. sure, dorne isn’t the land of equal rights and milk and honey and all that shit but she definitely enjoyed more rights and higher standing back in sunspear, especially as the daughter of house martell. she knew how precarious her status can be despite being the crown prince’s wife. what fucking good would it do to her if she allowed her husband to forcibly break a betrothal between two MAJOR houses? to basically declare to the entire world and in history forevermore that she wasn’t enough for her husband and he had to get another wife?
third, HER CHILDREN??? she gave rhaegar two healthy babies. maybe she could have given him more had she gotten proper care (no, i do not fucking trust pycelle. he’d probably been sabotaging rhaella’s and elia’s pregnancies to please tywin). rhaegar getting another wife and thus having legitimate children not hers would put aegon and rhaenys IN DANGER. sure maybe lyanna would be oh so kind enough to not contest their inheritance but do people forget the STAB alliance??? the dance???
fourth, er the mere fact that lyanna was betrothed to robert fucking baratheon? disregarding the entire shit about lya running off (or not) with a married man after shitting on robert for being a manwh0re, YOU DO NOT JUST BREAK AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN TWO MAJOR HOUSES. even if the crown had a good reason to do so (which they didn’t), it was an agreement between house stark AND house baratheon. they DO NOT get a say in it. lord, this is contract law 101. robert’s rebellion was built on a lie my ass. the rebels had every good reason to rebel bro.
I CAN GO ON FOREVER BUT ILL JUST BE MAD
