Rhaegar and Lyanna—well, that’s a revelation that will need to wait for later volumes. But if you are uncertain about it, I am glad. That is one thing I wanted to do was suggest the uncertainty of truth. I mean, think about it. In our own world, we don’t even now what happened between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings … The truth of Rhaegar and Lyanna may be similarly elusive … for a time. - GRRM
GRRM comparing the oh so romanticized Thomas Jefferson & Sally Hemmings to the oh so romanticized Rhaegar & Lyanna is so confusing to me?
- Without question Thomas Jefferson was a real life slave owner and r*pist to teenage Sally Hemmings. Yet American media/“history” was disgusting enough to try and “romanticize the two as a love story” 🤮
Therefore George is either showcasing how troubling the story is between R/L comparing them to a historically monstrous relationship between another teen girl and far more powerful man….or he’s buying into the romanticism? 🤮

His male cia contact, hiding tears as he sees bond fuck a woman in space: please notice me senpai (;﹏;)
How is James bond not dead yet. He's so easily distracted. Just put some skimpily clad woman in front of him and wham. Dead. Easy.
How Jiraiya was banned from babysitting forever.
☀️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)
They won't look at each other lmaooo
