Brando Sando defenders should learn the difference between theology and criticism of religion/faith. Also learn to understand thematic undertones and subtlety...

I saw a few people already trashing rhaegar in the RHAELYA OFFICIAL ART (I can't believe I can say that after 9 years of being here fighting for my life) and is like MOTHERFUKCER is not enough that you are not able to read between lines to identify that their relationship was willing and consensual that you also are not able to see that the picture is calm but fun, with lyanna being playful jumping from branch to branch, FEELING SAFE IN RHAEGAR'S PRESENCE, and he is observing her from the shadows, representing his careful and aloof nature. Nothing creepy. LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THE WINTER ROSES flourishing on Lya's feet. And the weirdwood/heart tree ... It's is said that the remain weirdwood on the south is on the isle of faces 🤔...

Anon, I really feel you 🫂

But let me tell you, this official art is so powerful I still can't believe it's real. I can't stop smiling and being all hyped up about it. Rhaelya antis are being sore losers and having a meltdown now.

First, they especially commissioned Justin Sweet to draw it. He had to make time in his busy schedule!

And both Rhaegar and Lyanna are so carefree in each other's presence. She's “dancing” in front of the heart three, he's sitting on a branch observing her. I think it represents so well both of their personalities. Lyanna is bold and “willful”, Rhaegar has a melancholy to him. This is even highlighted by the composition and the light in the painting.

You're so right when you say she feels safe in his presence! Her body language says it all. Plus the winter roses on her feet... roses that happen to a symbol of their romance! They're clearly having a moment of intimacy on this art.

[I'm curious as well about the heart three! I wish we were told where in Westeros the art features.]

This art is also the COVER of the 2024 ASOIAF calendar. That's pretty big for rhaelya! Let's take into consideration their story is still supposed to be a mystery in ASOIAF.

It makes me all the more hyped for TWOF and the Harrenhal play this year.

Thank you so much for the ask. All the best for you, anon ♥️
