#Howland and rhaegar having a staring contest but howland wins

[lostchildofthenewworld]

I’m tickled cause can you imagine Rhaegar finding TKotLT and it’s just smol Howland?

Omg I hate you for that realization about Elia at the tourney! (just kidding I don't hate you ofc) but Jesus. But on the other hand Elia was stunning and to be boot graceful and witty (the worst thing Cersei could say about her was her flat chest) that IMO there had to have been some men who secretly wanted to crown her and thought Rhaegar was an idiot. But maybe I'm being too optimistic.

I think everyone thought Rhaegar was an idiot for not crowning his own wife. Like, I think even Mace Tyrell thought it was a dumb move, and he's an idiot.

As for people that secretly wanted to crown Elia... there were probably quite a few of them hanging around! Whether they actually would have if they won probably depended on several factors, but I don't see how no one would want to.
