Fire and Blood Preview

Lord Alaric had lost his wife three years earlier. When the queen expressed regret that she had never had the pleasure of meeting Lady Stark, the northman said, “She was a Mormont of Bear Isle, and no lady by your lights, but she took an axe to a pack of wolves when she was twelve, killed two of them, and sewed a cloak from their skins. She gave me two strong sons as well, and a daughter as sweet to look upon as any of your southron ladies.”

“The Dustins were a very old house,” Jory said from beside him (…) “Very loyal, and fierce warriors. They were kings once, too.” 
Kings until the Starks struck them down and made them kneel, Arthur added privately. (…) He could almost imagine being bold enough to explain to Lyanna how alike the Stark kings of old were to the dragon king now; she had not killed him yet, but that surely would be enough to encourage her to do so. The dark thought made him chuckle nonetheless. Small, but fierce.

not to be a bitch but painting yourself as a victim of fandom because you ship something unpopular or polarizing actually elicits zero sympathy from me. im sorry your ships are so tightly bound to your personality that you can’t accept that people will have negative opinions about it. unless you have received legitimate abuse or harassment because of it then you should probably get over yourself maybe

i mean, i cannot explain how many times i’ve seen anti-lyanna/anti-elia/pro-rhaegar folks place rhaegar’s wants at the center. there is so much assumption that lyanna was in love from beginning to end, or that she was content to be in that tower, there are attempts to brush aside elia’s feelings by insisting that “she’s dornish, so it’s okay” or reminding us that rhaegar’s want to have three children or be in love is more valid than elia’s humiliation. rhaegar is the human whose emotions matter, whose story matters, and these women are accessories not only to his story, but to their own stories.

over and over, i see people make it all about rhaegar. lyanna and elia’s thoughts, desires, wants, and needs are ignored in favor of a man who victimized them both.
