Malora and Alerie Hightower

The hightower sisters, thanks to @highgardenart 's suggestion, I designed the 2 elder daughters of Leyton Hightower and loved the planning and gathering of references for the fashion of the Reach

I'll write more on my headcanons for the Reach fashion below if anyone is interested in that!

Also, closeups of Alerie's dress!

My inspo was mainly late 15th/early 16th italian fashion, with some big sleeves and lots of nice patterns, embroidery, motifs, and fabric (which I think would be very popular around the Reach). Lots of slashed sleeves because fabric is costly!

Jewels are a must but not the main show (unlike those flashy Lannisters), and the hair is what I can describe as "pretend you woke up and did this in 30 minutes" like showMarg, where she has pretty hairstyles but they feel more "natural" and less elaborate than Cersei's updos, but they're just as complicated, (it's all part of the persona) with the presence of decorative veils (which could be callback to fully veiled women back in ancient Andal fashion back in essos, but that's just headcanon) I feel that this is more in line with the "romantic" notion and tradition of the Reach!

And it's all supposed to be very romantic and very fitting to the courtly love aesthetic (they're doing the Victorian old trick of romanticizing ancient eras just for romance sake)

Alerie is dressed more within accord to Highgarden/Central Reach fashion, where I'd guess where she'd be wearing a kirtle and above it, that'd be the "overdress"/giornea inspired garment, filled with rose patterns and just a few towers to honor both houses (but more house Tyrell, since she's the lady of the family), the sleeves are very slashed and in my headcanon it would more similar to other dresses around the continent, while Malora is dressed in a typical fit around Oldtown, which is not necessarily THAT different but it still (hopefully) has its differences, like much fuller sleeves and lower neckline, showing more of the chemise, and fuller, pleaded skirt, (characteristics that I also have a headcanon for, they're originally from Braavosian dresses and then adopted by other port cities)

I also included some personal touch for both women, Alerie's hair rings as mentioned by cannon, and for Malora, I included a chain meant to mimick/pay homage to Maesters and a overdress/ropa because it'd be chilly at the top of the Hightower

So anyways, if you made it here, congrats, hope you like it! And that's it!

I fed my last husband to my dragon. If you make me take another, I may eat him myself.

Headcannon: After all the tragedy & residing at Harrenhal; Rhaena seldom donned Targaryen heraldry preferring Dreamfyres colouring.

Robert Arryn and Linton Heathcliff

Mothers and Wives:

AFFC, Sansa I

“‘Sit on the settle and let me lean on your knee. That’s as mamma used to do, whole afternoons together. Sit quite still and don’t talk: but you may sing a song, if you can sing; or you may say a nice long interesting ballad—one of those you promised to teach me; or a story. I’d rather have a ballad, though: begin.’”

(Wuthering Heights, Chapter 23) 

TWOW, Alayne excerpt

“‘Yes,’ said Catherine, stroking his long soft hair: ‘if I could only get papa’s consent, I’d spend half my time with you. Pretty Linton! I wish you were my brother.’

‘And then you would like me as well as your father?’ observed he, more cheerfully. ‘But papa says you would love me better than him and all the world, if you were my wife; so I’d rather you were that.’”

(Wuthering Heights, Chapter 23)

“‘He says I’m not to be soft with Catherine: she’s my wife, and it’s shameful that she should wish to leave me. He says she hates me and wants me to die, that she may have my money; but she shan’t have it: and she shan’t go home!”

(Wuthering Heights, Chapter 28)

Not fit for a husband:

ASOS, Sansa VII

“And do you imagine that beautiful young lady, that healthy, hearty girl, will tie herself to a little perishing monkey like you? Are you cherishing the notion that anybody, let alone Miss Catherine Linton, would have you for a husband?”

(Wuthering Heights, Chapter 27)

“You hit me, I hate you!” (Never mind that I insulted your family history/ancestral seat)

“‘Well, I’ll tell you something!’ said Linton. ‘Your mother hated your father: now then.’

‘Oh!’ exclaimed Catherine, too enraged to continue.

‘And she loved mine,’ added he.

‘You little liar! I hate you now!’ she panted, and her face grew red with passion.

‘She did! she did!’ sang Linton, sinking into the recess of his chair, and leaning back his head to enjoy the agitation of the other disputant, who stood behind.

‘Hush, Master Heathcliff!’ I said; ‘that’s your father’s tale, too, I suppose.’

‘It isn’t: you hold your tongue!’ he answered. ‘She did, she did, Catherine! she did, she did!’

Cathy, beside herself, gave the chair a violent push, and caused him to fall against one arm. He was immediately seized by a suffocating cough that soon ended his triumph. It lasted so long that it frightened even me. As to his cousin, she wept with all her might, aghast at the mischief she had done: though she said nothing. I held him till the fit exhausted itself. Then he thrust me away, and leant his head down silently. Catherine quelled her lamentations also, took a seat opposite, and looked solemnly into the fire.

‘How do you feel now, Master Heathcliff?’ I inquired, after waiting ten minutes.

‘I wish she felt as I do,’ he replied: ‘spiteful, cruel thing! Hareton never touches me: he never struck me in his life. And I was better today: and there—’ his voice died in a whimper.

‘I didn’t strike you!’ muttered Cathy, chewing her lip to prevent another burst of emotion.

He sighed and moaned like one under great suffering, and kept it up for a quarter of an hour; on purpose to distress his cousin apparently, for whenever he caught a stifled sob from her he put renewed pain and pathos into the inflexions of his voice.

‘I’m sorry I hurt you, Linton,’ she said at length, racked beyond endurance. ‘But I couldn’t have been hurt by that little push, and I had no idea that you could, either: you’re not much, are you, Linton? Don’t let me go home thinking I’ve done you harm. Answer! speak to me.’

‘I can’t speak to you,’ he murmured; ‘you’ve hurt me so that I shall lie awake all night choking with this cough. If you had it you’d know what it was; but you’ll be comfortably asleep while I’m in agony, and nobody near me. I wonder how you would like to pass those fearful nights!’ And he began to wail aloud, for very pity of himself.”

(Wuthering Heights, Chapter 23)

“I’m glad, for I shall be master of the Grange after him. Catherine always spoke of it as her house. It isn’t hers! It’s mine: papa says everything she has is mine.”

(Wuthering Heights, Chapter 28)

Porridge

The whole thing

The summary:

Milk

Robert Arryn still breastfeeds.

From Juliet McMaster’s essay “THE COURTSHIP AND HONEYMOON OF MR. AND MRS. LINTON HEATHCLIFF: EMILY BRONTË'S SEXUAL IMAGERY”

Conclusion:

So yeah. Robert Arryn and Linton Heathcliff are similar characters. This Redditor is bullshitting when they deny the similarity due their ages:

Linton Heathcliff is as much of a baby as Robert Arryn, if not more so.

ASOS/AFFC Sansa/Alayne chapters really are reminiscent of the third quarter of Wuthering Heights.

i do think in any universe where daemon becomes king and marries rhaenyra she is NOT going to be happy being his queen consort-cum-broodmare. she is pulling an eleanor of aquitaine and incestuously overattaching to their first homo son and eventually trying to murder daemon in cold blood. but the lion in winter is one of the only true romances ever put to film, so

[alicent-boleyn]

All she wanted was for things to be nice and pretty, the way they were in the songs.
