roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that
the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

Given that the last time they kissed, Link freaked out, Zelda was perturbed when she woke up alone. But all is well. BACK TO SHENANIGANS.
casting a black woman as lyanna makes the whole “redditors think jon snow is their red pilled alpha male when he was literally murdered for being too woke” thing even funnier btw. they’re definitely going to be normal about this btw.
I think the thing with Rhaegar and Lyanna is that they’re more than just the Crown Prince and the only daughter of Lord Stark. that’s the whole point of them running away together. they were trying (and they failed in the end) to break out of the roles imposed upon them their whole life. and gender is important here, because part of the appeal of their dynamic is the subversion of gender. Rhaegar gets to be the prince(ss) and Lyanna gets to be the knight. but the tragedy is that their shared story forces them back into their gendered roles, with Lyanna playing the part of the damsel in distress locked up in the tower and Rhaegar is the knight going to defend his lady. and their deaths end up being extremely gendered, with Rhaegar dying in the masculine realm of battle and Lyanna dying in the feminine realm of the childbed.
also in terms of fandom discourse I think it’s v interesting how people hate acknowledging that lyanna might have been trying to escape the pressures of her all-male family when she ran off with rhaegar.
ned to a certain extent recognises this when he sees arya’s disillusionment with society after the mycah episode (parallel to the howland episode) and he lets her keep + train with needle. I do wonder if the brothers + rickard found out about knight of the laughing tree (given jojen and meera’s surprise that bran hadn’t been told that specific story) and reacted badly, pushing lyanna away. and that’s why ned brings up lyanna to arya when he does, because he sees that if he does not act differently from his father he will lose arya like they lost lyanna.
and when we think about why lyanna ran off with rhaegar, I do think we need to actually reflect upon what exactly he offered to her that the men around her did not. there is something there about rhaegar being different to the overtly masculine robert, but also the overtly masculine brandon. we don’t know anything about rickard, but we do know that ned, even with arya later in life, strongly believes in the rigid gender roles of westeros. when lyanna met rhaegar, I do wonder if it wasn’t just freedom that he represented, but also validation of all her struggles to fit within the conventions of her gender, because he had those exact struggles as well.

rhaegar’s pr manager? Absolutely no hate and I’m not flicking the little anon switch because I’m not a coward. But what are your takes on him?
ok but first you have to swear a holy oath that you mean the no hate thing
within the narrative: he was a pretty depressed individual who felt an immense amount of pressure to measure up to ideals of masculinity both within the monarchy that he was heir to and the prophecy that he thought himself the center of. but he was not delusional or crazy or even 'prophecy-obsessed' because 1) the prophecy that he believed in was real and he had full reason to believe and act on a prophecy considering that he came from a family that owed its survival to listening to a prophecy that sounded 'irrational' in the moment and 2) considering the apocalyptic nature of the prophecy, he was pretty tame in his response to it (in contrast to melisandre and stannis' religious crusade, for example), and all the text even tells us for sure is that he was aware of it. there is no solid proof that it motivated any of his actions -- from deciding to become a warrior, to running away with lyanna. I do believe that the aforementioned things were in fact partly motivated by his belief in the prophecy, but it was not even close to his sole motivation. imo, his decision to become a warrior came from his need to perform socially-expected masculinity, and his affair with lyanna stemmed from genuine love and affection. at the end of the day, these decisions can't be separated from the prophecy, because it is something that seems to have been central to his life, but it wasn't a singular, all-consuming obsession.
outside the narrative: his main meta role is to act as a foil to aerys and viserys in dany's story. unlike the other two, who were literal kings, rhaegar, though never crowned, is the one that dany considers herself the heir of. this means that he plays a largely positive and idealistic role in the story. the subversion of his character is that he is not the kidnapping, raping prince that we were led to think he was at the beginning of AGOT, and he is not like aerys or viserys. he is the representation of idealism whose story and goals both jon and dany will continue.
rhaelya: this post largely summarises my thoughts on rhaelya within the narrative, and what they mean to one another. also one of their obvious narrative purposes is that they are jon's parents -- making him both a targaryen and a stark. outside the narrative, they exist as one of the many ways to demonstrate the theme of the conflict of love and duty, and the human heart in conflict with itself, but primarily, their purpose is in relation to jon and dany's characters. both jon and dany play the parts of both rhaegar and lyanna at some point or the other in their relationships. jon is both in his relationship with ygritte, dany is also both in her relationship with daario. jon is rhaegar with arya and alys, and has parallels with lyanna in his foreshadowed relationship with dany.
as his pr manager: as far as I'm concerned, the worst thing he did was cheat on his wife, and this too, has to be situated in a world where marriages are explicitly symbols of an oppressive patriarchal institution that seeks to control women's bodies.
he was not responsible for the deaths of his wife and children. or in other words, I find that holding him responsible for the deaths of elia and their children requires judging him in ways that we do not judge most other asoiaf characters. elia and her children were supposed to be safe inside maegor's holdfast. the red keep is an incredibly secure castle, and maegor's holdfast is literally a fortress within a fortress. it is doubly defended by being at the heart of the red keep with a moat around it. the rebelling army was not supposed to reach king's landing in the first place, because rhaegar's army was thrice its size, and the only reason the army scattered was because he died. it's a bit ridiculous to seriously blame him for dying, or for not foreseeing his own death. now, he could have left more kingsguard to guard elia, but realistically that wouldn't have saved her from the lannister armies. he also was not in charge of the kingsguard, aerys was. he only got away with leaving arthur, oswell, and gerold at the tower because arthur and oswell were loyal to him over aerys. leaving three trusted knights at a tower in the middle of nowhere guarding a woman whom half the realm is looking for is also an obvious decision. elia was the wife of the crown prince, she obviously had a household guard, and targaryen soldiers, guarding the red keep. also, taking all the kinsguard except one, jaime (who was, again, aerys' choice), was an obvious decision because he was a crown prince going to battle. I've also seen the argument that since he started the chain of events that kicked off the rebellion, he is ultimately to blame for the sack of king's landing. this is like saying that brandon is ultimately to blame of the rebellion. because at the end of the day, it was brandon's rash decision to commit treason by calling for the crown prince's head in front of the mentally unstable king that got him killed. no one, let alone rhaegar and lyanna, expected him to do that. ned, catelyn, and hoster tully, all call it impulsive, reckless, and foolish. and even then, brandon is still not to blame for the rebellion. because it was aerys who killed brandon and called for the heads of ned and robert, throwing the realm into chaos. the reason why people blame rhaegar and lyanna is because robert used lyanna's name as a rallying cry for the rebellion. but it was never about lyanna or rhaegar. it was about survival. and finally, at the end of the day, the deaths of elia and the children are fully on tywin's shoulders. there was no precedent for actions so horrific and they solidified tywin's reputation as a ruthless and cunning and cruel man. blaming rhaegar for tywin's cruelty is like blaming robb for the red wedding.
calling him a groomer or a pedophile for the rhaelya age gap is like calling ygritte, an adult by our standards, a groomer for her romance with jon, a minor by our standards. if we don't villify ygritte for getting into a relationship with a 15 year old who is politically and socially less powerful than her and is also a virgin, why do we villify rhaegar?
it's not rhaegar's fault lyanna died in childbirth. again, he had no control over this, he was dead at this point. he never intended to abandon her at the tower, the presence of the 3 kingsguard (one of whom was his best friend) proves that. and the narrative also heavily implies that their relationship was consensual, so she likely chose to have sex with him and the pregnancy was a result of their love.
I've got so many more thoughts on rhaegar, but this is already pretty long, and I think I've covered most of the important bit. here are some of my previous posts where I've analysed him and his relationships and/or acted as his pr manager lol

it is unfortunate that there's no reason for most people to remember high school chemistry because the best analogy I have found for "the amount of energy that it takes me to initiate a task, which can be higher than the amount of energy it takes to actually complete the task" is "activation energy" and it's not precisely perfect but
yeah. and you can even include "thing that reduces the barrier to doing the task" as a catalyst/enzyme
anyway. unfortunately this does not actually clarify anything for the average person. but #ToMe it works
i’ve used this exact analogy with my therapist and it works so well
cause sometimes it really does take more energy to start the task than it does just to do the task
and so learning to find those catalysts to lower the activation energy can help a lot!
easy to forget but book jon snow is great actually. he gets so drunk he cries in his first chapter. he's 16 years old and laser focused on loan negotiation. he keeps getting promoted against his will. he's the chosen fantasy protagonist with the worst genre awareness ever. he implements pro immigration social reforms. he has a giant albino pet wolf. he cuts a guy's head off. he thinks he invented cunnilingus. he's been dead for 15 years.

Yesterday I almost cried because my baby cousin ran up to my grandmother and was like. “Ha! Buhbuh ba ha.” And she said okay you want to show me something? And he led her over to the garden patch and crouched down and pointed at rocks and plants and was like. “Ah. Habah ba ah” as she listened attentively.
And I was like that happened 1,000 years ago. Probably 10,000 years ago. Maybe 100,000. The youngest human in a group went to the oldest one and said to the best of their ability “come see.” And the adult went.
this is such a beautiful post it doesn't need my dumb addition, but i can't fit this in the tags. at the archaeological site Dolni Vestonice in the Czech Republic there are a bunch of really really fascinating finds and I'm only going to tell you about one tiny detail of one of the most interesting sites in the world.
at this settlement 20-30,000 years ago there lived a person who appears to have been a sort of sorcerer-grandmother-ceramics artist and her workshop was preserved very well in the sedimentary layers. her hut where she had her kilns was full of little sculptures of animals and people that seem to have been made to explode in the kiln on purpose, we're not sure why but nevermind. the relevant detail is that when you sculpt something with your hands and then fire it, your fingerprints can be preserved in the surface of the clay forever, so we have fingerprints of ancient ceramics artists that have survived for tens of thousands of years. and one of the major artifacts from Dolni Vestonice has a fingerprint on it that is so small it could only have belonged to a child
so this shaman-grandmother-sculptor, who was buried with her pet fox by the way, had children running through her workshop and touching everything she made while she was at her mysterious work of creating the world's oldest ceramics, none of which appear to be bowls, bottles, pots, or any "useful" items at all, but rather a collection of animal and human and sometimes anthropomorphic figures, some of which appear to be self portraits. exactly the same as sandersstudios' grandmother being led to the garden by an excited baby. we've all been the same for 30,000 years.

using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold
