#melara ask

[fragilestorm]

For an OC of your choice:

🦉 What piece of advice do they give everyone but never follow themselves?

🦋 What seemingly insignificant memory do they cherish the most?

🧸 What would their younger self think of them now?

than you sm for this! going with melara

🦉 What piece of advice do they give everyone but never follow themselves? I wish i could answer this but this girl is not giving advice to anyone that may be helpful lmao. Maybe some passive agressive that is more of an insult than advice but it's no brainer she won't follow them ahdjjdd.

🦋 What seemingly insignificant memory do they cherish the most? A warm day in Highgarden when she was still a girl. Lorent was sitting on the floor in her chambers as he was wearing a crown of roses because she insisted. Listening attentively how she rambled about future court life, dresses and other boring stuff until she feel asleep on his shoulder. It was just something mundane but she holds it dear to her heart because by the end of the day she is just a daddy's girl 😔.

🧸 What would their younger self think of them now? That entirely depends on which part of timeline we looking at. Before dance she would be awed and giddy, because look where she is. Married to a prince, greatly admired for her beauty and charm by all and all this influence. Exactly where she is supposed to be. Exactly what she deserves. As for post dance, she would be confused and disappointed. Why did i lose? Why did that happen? Why, why, why? In her head she deserves everything, because she is better then all of them. However, then she would blame everyone else for their stupidity and find a silver lining. She would think how resilient and clever she was, to marry her daughter to a king and still live comfortably in court.

do   your   muses   have   a   '   place   '   thats   just   for   the   two   of   them   ?

- for whoever you want to do this for the most 😘

thank you for the ask, I'm going with helaena and melara!

Yes! With Helaena's love for bugs and Melara's need to be surrounded by greenery, they made a small corner in the royal garden their private little place. Helaena's private chamber is also one of their places, most people do not bother visiting Helaena except Alicent so they can spend as much time as they want without being interrupted by someone.

If your Tyrells could go anywhere else, where would they go?

thats's a good question!

Honestly, Melara would never depart from Highgarden. She idolizes/romanticizes that place far too much to even think about setting her foot out of it. No place compares to her home, not old Valyria, not Oldtown etc etc nothing at all could compare to the beauty of it.

And that's a tragedy too as once she comes to Kings Landing due to many reasons she never sees her home ever again not even after the war ends 🙁.

Lorent is different from his daughter, however. He does love his home obviously but not with the same intensity as Melara. If he wasn't so duty bound to his family and due to his place as heir to Tyrell name he would have either stayed in king's landing or moved to Vale. KL more so as a youth when his fondness for Alicent clouded his mind and could not be parted from her for long. As for Vale, he visited it a couple of times to see his mother's family and fell in love with it immediately. There was something in that place that drew him in, he doesn't know if it's the cousins whose company he enjoyed far more than ones from his father's side, the cold air nipping at his cheeks or great opportunity for hawking. Lorent would have gladly took his family and moved there.

melara & jacaerys 👀

That would be such an unfortunate couple my god lmao.

Look, if they ever get betroth she would do everything in her power so her marriage would be as pleasant as possible which would mean she would try to befriend/make him fall in love with her but she can't stand him honestly. It has nothing to do with Jaecaerys personally but more what he is. A bastard. Melara is prideful and would never be able to be with him even if he isn't seen so by status, he is by the people. It also doesn't help that she is like obsessed with Helaena and can't really project her onto him 😭.

🖊🖊🖊 + your current muses, please! :-D

thank you! current muses are Melara, Haela and Aelora

At first the only reason Melara got into hawking was to spend more time with Lorent as that was one of his favorite activities but with time she learned to genuinely love it.

She has a very bad relationship with her mother. Ireyne wished Melara was more like a proper lady, quiet and gentle while Melara wishes she could be what she desires.

Despite the strained relationship with her family after the war, Melara still kept contact with Lyonel, even asking him to make sure her daughters were taken care of if something happens to her.

Unlike her whole family, Haela doesn't really like dragons or riding them. Heights frighten her too much and their roars were terrifying for her to develop a fondness for them like her older sister.

For the rest of her life Haela would wear only light blue. She grew to despise the colors of her house, flat out refusing to wear black when her husband and children died.

She loves reading books. Her favorites are about adventures or history off far off places like Esso or old Valyria.

It was reported by a wet nurse that Aelora first smiled in her crib when her dragon egg hatched.

When Aemond was still alive he would take her on rides on Vhagar. That is the only memory she has of him and the only one she doesn't try to bury.

Besides distancing herself from anything related to her mother the main reason Aelora doesn't keep in touch with Haela was because she volunteered to be the one Aegon takes as a wife. She saw it as a great betrayal that she would wed a child of a woman that caused them such suffrage.

Melara! Temperance 4

thank you!!!

4. Does your OC struggle with any addictions or compulsions? If so then how does this affect them? Melara cares too much for her reputation to let herself grow an addiction, even if the wine does catch her attention she'll just put it down before it goes to her head.

tell me about melara and aemond's dynamic vs her and helaena <3

oh boy here we go

Initially her relationship with Helaena was supposed to be manipulative, she didn't know what the princess was like and how she would act towards her she only knew she needed her to care about her mayhaps even love her so she wouldn't sent her away, even if she never wanted to leave highgarden she still had to fulfill her duty towards her father and her house. Once she finally meets her she surprised how kind and gentle she is because in her mind princesses are supposed to be bratty and here she is breaking her views already. In the beginning Melara misses her home and she feels very lonely (her fault obvi but we won't talk about that), Helaena notices it and as a distraction she went to show her bug collection. Bugs aren't her favorite creature, she always found them to be disgusting but once Helaena shows them and sees how much love she has for such ugly things she grew to be fascinated as well or at least tolerate Helaena's fascination. As time passes Melara finally realizes or finally admits to herself that all the affections Helaena shows her are genuine and not hidden behind ulterior motives, she lets herself care for her as well. Mind you Helaena is not really Melara's usual type (outgoing, loud, straightforward etc) and she never realizes her true feelings but she loves her. Honestly, innocently and intensely.

While with Aemond, their relationship is built around duty. Yes, Melara does try to weasel herself out of it hence why she still isn't married but she isn't an idiot and she knows she'll have to marry someday. Yet, the idea of marrying him isn't bad in her eyes because Aemond is everything she wished in a possible husband (young, handsome, rich, understanding and doesn't keep her on a leash) so she tries to at least befriend him so the marriage wouldn't become volatile. Their relationship is sorta toxic at least on Melara's part (are we surprised by now) because she sort off projects Helaena onto him while poor Aemond loved her ever since he was a child and he can feel their is some sort of blockage that won't let her care for him as he does her. However, once their daughter is born her affections for him grow and in the end she does learn to love him in Melara way. I will point out that one thing that her dynamic with Aemond thriumps over is how she can be herself. Most of the time she tends to pretends to be someone else to please the other person especially Helaena but with Aemond she can be the spiteful, mean spirited, vengeful, jelaous version of herself that was suffocating beneath the mask for a very long time.

Jumbo ask game!! 🍒 🍊 🧡 😊 🍐 🌀 🍇 💗 for an oc of your choice ^_^ Enjoy!

thank you!!!

As I'm currently focused on hotd I'll split the ask and do both lorent and melara

🍒 What kind of things do they expect from their relationships? Does this differ between platonic relationships and romantic ones? Is your OC “demanding” or a doormat? What kinds of things do people expect from them in a relationship? Melara expects overwhelmingly a lot from any relationship be it platonic or romantic. Oh my girl is demanding lmao god help you if you're in a relationship with her. Perhaps people will expect the same things she preaches.

🍊 What is your OC’s favourite meal? Snack? Dessert? Drink? Any reasons behind this besides liking how it tastes? She has a sweet tooth so anything sweet would always be her first choice, it would also include drinks as she favors arbor gold over any other wine.

🧡 Who is your OC’s favourite person? Why is this person the top of their list and have they actually met them (an idol or rolemodel or celeb can be someone’s favorite after all!). As cheesy as it sound Melara's favorite person is her father lmao. She always thought that he understood her in a way nobody could.

😊 What can make your OC smile even when they’re feeling down? What cheers them up and makes everything feel better for them? Is your OC genrally a happy person and do they enjoy making others smile? What about your OC makes others happy? surprisingly it's the little things that make her truly happy, for examples listening Helaena rambling on anything, walking through the garden or a sweet tart . I wouldn't say she's a happy person but she does tend to smile no matter, as for making other people smiles she does pride herself in knowing that she brightened someone (obviously she won't seek a person to comfort/make smile but if they were talking to her she'll try).

🍐 What is your OC’s mentality? Are they overall positive? Negative? A bit of both? Describe their thought patterns and reasoning behind their choice making! Lorent has always seen the world in a grey light, he always tried to analyze situation and weight in all possible outcomes.

🍇 Day or Night? Sun or Rain? Summer or Winter? Night, simply because he loves watching the stars. Rain and winter, reach is quite a warm place and it's a blessing to him when the temperature lowers at least a bit.

💗 What would your OC say is their best feature? Why? What do their friends / family / lover(s) / people they know think is their best feature and why? Lorent would say his best features are his eyes, the famous tyrell greens. While to other people his best feature is his smile, no matter what was hidden behind the pearly whites it would always seem warm and welcoming.
