Day 4 | What Could Have Been | Elia with the Mountain’s Head
— for @eliaweek done by dana_delion
Rhaegar couldn't have known House Stark would be pissed off by his running off with their betrothed daughter! (Even though Brandon had to be physically stopped from attacking Rhaegar at Harrenhal for Crowning Lyanna, thus compromising her reputation.)
Rhaegar couldn't have known it would be hurtful to both Elia's feelings as his wife and position as his consort to crown another woman his queen of love and beauty! (Even though we have the famous tale of how valiant prince Aemon had to save poor Queen Naerys Targaryen from the exact same public insult by her husband who was literally called "the unworthy".)
Rhaegar couldn't have known House Baratheon would not be pleased with his crowning of their future Lady and then running off with her! (Even though Lord Lyonel Baratheon had already raised a rebellion against House Targaryen over a broken betrothal by a Targaryen crown prince, and so poor princess Rhaelle had to be bartered to make peace, which is the whole reason why Robert has a Targaryen blood claim to the IT.)
Rhaegar couldn't have known his insane father, literally called the Mad King, wouldn't react well to the political disaster Rhaegar had created and then dumped on him to deal with! (Even though there was already gossip all over the seven kingdoms that Aerys distrusted Rhaegar so much that he was considering disinheriting him and declaring Viserys his heir.)
Rhaegar couldn't have known that Elia and their kids would be unsafe in the Red Keep without a single Kingsguard to protect them! (Even without the threat of the rebels and Tywin's treachery, Aerys was going to raze the whole city to the ground with wildfire, including Elia and Aegon and Rhaenys.)
Rhaegar couldn't have known Jaime wouldn't protect Elia and the kids! (Jaime was literally a child hostage himself, Aerys always kept him close for that very reason, and Rhaegar didn't even once ask Jaime, who was the only Kingsguard left in the city due to Rhaegar's own actions, to protect his wife and kids. Jaime feels bad for Elia and her kids' demise because this is another way he thinks he failed as a Kingsguard.)
Rhaegar couldn't have known creating a political crisis so big that it brought down his family's dynasty, would worsen and endanger not only his wife's and kids' life, but his mother's as well! It's Aerys' fault for what Rhaella suffered! (Rhaegar knew his father was a madman who liked to r*pe his poor wife after burning people alive. He absolutely could have showed a smidge of consideration to the poor woman who was forced to birth him at age of thirteen, and whose life had been just one trauma after another ever since. Rhaegar absolutely could have. If he wanted to. He clearly didn't want to, for he seems not to have spared Rhaella's suffering a single thought, else he would prioritize getting rid of his evil father over getting into Lyanna's pants.)
Rhaegar couldn't have known that House Martell would see his abandonment of their only princess as a grave dishonor! (I wasn't aware that House Martell had no personal sense of honor or self preservation. In fact, didn't we read that Doran was pissed off and reluctant to send aid because of Elia's horrible treatment by House Targaryen?)
Rhaegar couldn't have known it's diabolical to take your mistress to honeymoon in your wife's homeland, while the wife and kids are being held hostage by insane grandpa! (Then why was Rhaegar hiding in a super secret love shack in Dorne, instead of openly parading Lyanna around?)
Rhaegar couldn't have known Rhaenys would look to him for protection in her last moments alive! (This one I completely agree with, he was barely there for the three years that poor child got to live, Rhaenys most likely only knew about him from what her mother told her.)
There is a whole lot more stuff that Rhaegar's own stans say he couldn't have ever known or saw coming.
If I tried to list them all, I'd be here all day.
I'll just end with this -
I get it Rhaegar stans. Your favorite was a total idiot, who never knew anything. Ever.
Truly, he most certainly is Jon You Know Nothing Snow's biological father.

tumblr is widely known for its sexymen polls so why not make one for asoiaf? the problem is that if I played this straight jaime would sweep the floor with the other contestants and it would be no fun (I know my audience and also come on) so I decided to do something a bit different
so I present to you the first Unlikely ASOIAF Sexyman Poll consisting of characters that george probably never intended to be fuckable but some of you freaks and fujos want to fuck anyway...
I've seen thirst posts for all of the characters in this poll except for one (which was a suggestion from my brother that I thought was kinda funny) but now it's up to YOU 🫵 to decide which one is the most fuckable!
"but lady shart I don't like men" well neither do I but for the purposes of this poll let's all pretend we are bisexual fujo riverlands peasants and decide in our heart of hearts which of these unsexy sexy men is the most fuckable!
let the voting begin!!!!
asoiaf's sexyest unsexy man 😍🥵🍆💦
stannis baratheon ❤️🔥
tywin lannister 🦁
roose bolton 🩸
petyr baelish 🐦
the mountain ⛰️
lord varys 🕷
ramsay bolton 🦨
qyburn 💀
brynden tully 🐟
joncon 🏳️🌈
aeron greyjoy 🌊
shart I'm bald and don't know these sexy men 😔
"but shart where is the hound?" nowhere because I hate him and I feel like he would win because of the show it's MY poll and the first democratically elected president of the 7 kingdoms daenerys targaryen said I can do what I want 😉
Oberyn Martell: “I’m here to avenge my sister, who was slain by Gregor Clegane.”
Also Oberyn Martell: *does a bunch of cool spinning tricks with his spear to hype the crowd up*
Baelor Targaryen: “I will take Ser Duncan’s side since he protected the innocent!”
Also Baelor Targaryen: *waits until Ser Dunk gets very desperate with his pleas for a volunteer from the crowd, then when the crowd is fully amped up, rides in like a badass*

So what’s the takeaway here? House Martell and the Dornish are theatrical.
one of my favourite things about jaime and cersei povs is literally every other pov (correctly) is like ser gregor clegane is an actual monster serial killer serial rapist serial mutilator of women and children and to jaime and cersei hes like. their coworker. a family friend
