i like the idea that baelor's girl is such a perfect wife for valarr in front of other people. like there would be council meetings or parties that they have to attend and she would just be fussing over valarr, touching him lovingly, and bragging about his achievements and how he is doing well as the prince of the realm. AND PEOPLE WOULD JUST BE EATING THAT SHT UP. she'd be acting the part of the one-half of a young, loving couple SOOOO GOOD that baelor wouldn't know any better, like the rest of the seven kingdoms, if it weren't for the fact that he knows she's actually his 🫦
+++ but even so i'm sure he couldn't help but feel jealous that valarr could show of his girl so publicly like that but at the end of the day our girl would just remind him that she would go back to him no matter what happens IM SO SORRY FOR THE BRAIN DUMP I CAN'T GET THIS OUT MY HEAD
NEVER and I mean NEVERRRR be sorry for a brain dump!!! My inbox/messages are for brain dumps, rants, random ideas, a lovely little chat, whatever the hell you want!!! I love talking with people and seeing their ideas so plssss never be sorry for expressing yourself on my page!
And secondly, O my lord that is literally Patience Testing D-I-L and Baelor.
I'm also gonna have a little rant here about my ideas for the patience testing/whining and pouting universe (but I will eventually address your ask directly as well lmao), so bear with me!
The difference between patience testing (PT) and whining and pouting (WP) reader is that PT!reader is more patient and obedient and just sort of softer than WP!reader. WP!reader looooves to annoy Maekar, that's her goal. She's whiny and complainy and petulant and just gets on his nerves. PT!reader can be whiny and complainy, but she's a lot softer than WP!reader and knows that softness and obedience can get you a lot farther than petulance. She appeals to Baelor's gentleness, uses her own kindness and charisma to get what she wants from him rather than pestering.
So yeah, I defffff think PT!reader is sooo charming about Valarr. At tourneys and feasts and whatever other engagements they need to attend, she is the perfect wife. To the public eye, she is everything a man could ask for and more. She hangs on his arm, looks at him lovingly, obeys whatever he wants. She is charismatic and charming and kind and makes everyone happy to look at her.
But behind closed doors, she is allll Baelor's. She is in his bed, on his arm, just constantly hovering around him. So the servants and the people in the know, they knowww. But outside of that, she plays her role super well.
I have a request about jealous PT!Baelor that I will write ASAP but I can def see Baelor, despite how secure he is, getting a bit jealous in this scenario. He sees her fawning over Valarr, hanging off his arm, bragging about him, and even though he knows that evening she will be in his bed, begging him for pleasure, in that moment he is angry that she cannot do all of that for him in public.
He's gruff, a little huffy and dismissive that evening, but when she finally pulls the reason out of him, she is smirking and sooo happy to know that she has that effect on him, and just absolutely rocks his world...
