My forever favorite character of House Martell

[spearsndragons]

I HATE IT WHEN RHAELYA FANS SAY THAT ELIA WANTED RHAEGAR TO TAKE LYANNA AS A SECOND WIFE.

UHM???? FUCK NO!

DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THIS.

first of all, elia was the only daughter of the RULING PRINCESS OF DORNE. do people think her mother sent her off to king’s landing to be disrespected? to be humiliated? NO. she was sent there to be the next fucking queen. aside from political ambitions, the princess of dorne was canonically friends with both joanna AND rhaella. she entrusted her daughter to her friend’s son.

second, elia knew how different the rest of westeros treated their women. sure, dorne isn’t the land of equal rights and milk and honey and all that shit but she definitely enjoyed more rights and higher standing back in sunspear, especially as the daughter of house martell. she knew how precarious her status can be despite being the crown prince’s wife. what fucking good would it do to her if she allowed her husband to forcibly break a betrothal between two MAJOR houses? to basically declare to the entire world and in history forevermore that she wasn’t enough for her husband and he had to get another wife?

third, HER CHILDREN??? she gave rhaegar two healthy babies. maybe she could have given him more had she gotten proper care (no, i do not fucking trust pycelle. he’d probably been sabotaging rhaella’s and elia’s pregnancies to please tywin). rhaegar getting another wife and thus having legitimate children not hers would put aegon and rhaenys IN DANGER. sure maybe lyanna would be oh so kind enough to not contest their inheritance but do people forget the STAB alliance??? the dance???

fourth, er the mere fact that lyanna was betrothed to robert fucking baratheon? disregarding the entire shit about lya running off (or not) with a married man after shitting on robert for being a manwh0re, YOU DO NOT JUST BREAK AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN TWO MAJOR HOUSES. even if the crown had a good reason to do so (which they didn’t), it was an agreement between house stark AND house baratheon. they DO NOT get a say in it. lord, this is contract law 101. robert’s rebellion was built on a lie my ass. the rebels had every good reason to rebel bro.

I CAN GO ON FOREVER BUT ILL JUST BE MAD

Princess Elia Nymeros Martell of Dorne, Consort of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.

Princess Elia was a good woman, kind and clever, with a gentle heart and a sweet wit. (ADWD, Daenerys IV)

Aegon, Prince Jun, Son of Elia the Golden, Prince of Yi Ti

for @spearsndragons

notes:

Headcannons (sorry @spearsndragons i cannae help it let me know if you want me to take it down)

the sheer hold this au has on me, oof.

Anyways, i've been reading too much mxtx, so more yi-tish influence for our boy Jun.

I headcannon Jun as the calm diplomat, but only until his family is safe. Elia's boy in heart and soul, no matter his appearance. A lot of self-hatred, lets himself get hurt easily, almost as a source of penance for looking like his father.

Used to learn the guqin (um violin? no thats erhu yeah zither) but stopped because Rhaegar played the hard (also stringed instrument). He now plays dizhi (flute like my boy wei wuxian).

Wears white, a pale sort of orange, and lavender and light blue. Does not wear red at all.

Does not want to stand out, stands out anyways, so he's learnt to take advantage of it.

Very Yue Qingyuan sort of person, calm and gentle until you cross his line and then it's a quietly slit throat and you should not have said that, no one can insult/hurt my family.

Has a special bond with both his sisters, with Rhaenys for remembering the early years after the rebellion, and with Senya for sharing hair color and standing out.

His younger brothers are gremlins (if i read the five children thing right) and he loves them very much.

Very close friends with Jon (Dayne? Stark? i go with dayne). Both of them often feel as though they do not belong.

Feverently hates the concept of destiny, shattered several ink-pots until people stopped mentioning 天命 (tiān mìng) and 得命 (dé mìng) or heavenly mandate in front of him.

Looks like a cinnamon roll, can and will kill you, or for you in case of his family.

[thewitchqueenofharrenhal]

Thinking about Elia in Oldtown the nicest city in Westeros rather than the shithole that is Kingslanding with a handsome kind husband rather than an inbred prophecy obsessed weirdo and her children growing tall around her not caught up dead in a war

[gothgleek]

I like to imagine after the Tourney at Harrenhal, Elia started wearing golden spines with her dresses, symbolizing how she will not be broken by her husband’s humiliation nor bow to his family.
