No, Rhaegar Annulling His Marriage To Elia Is Not Ok Just Because It Was "forced"

"oh, I live in a desert and-"

"wow that must be so terrible" "deserts are so ugly" "I would never want to live in a wasteland like that" "it's just empty nothingness"

behold New Mexico

☀️Elia Martell and Lyanna Stark🐺

Theory:

Because Dorne (and some of the characters that we met) is often described as a less conservative (when it comes to romantic and/or sexual relationships) compared to the rest of Westeros.

I like to imagine that Elia was aware of and okay with the relationship between Rhaegar and Lyanna. Why?

That being said, I don't believe that she was just this fragile creature that everyone describes her as. But the contrary, she knew and was supportive of it, specially when we think that although not very frequent, it wasn't unusual for Targaryens to marry more than one person.

And Rhaegar being so obsessed with prophecies, I think he would have told his wife, since other people knew about it (remember Rhaegar is already dead at the beginning of the story, everything we know about him comes from other people's perspective of him, and if they knew about his obsession with prophecies) why not his wife?! The woman that he shared his life, and had kids with.

They named their children Rhaenys and Aegon BECAUSE of the prophecy of The Prince/ss That Was Promised and he wanted a third one because the Dragon must have 3 heads, and they both knew she couldn't have kids anymore, or else she would put her life at risk.

So... because of that, I imagine that she knew about it all along.

About the drawing:

🐺 I've always imagined the Starks (and northerners in general, specially those where the blood of the Fist Men are stronger) looking (physically) like indigenous americans

☀️ While the Martells (and dornish people in general) looking like (specially after Pedro Pascal played the role of Oberyn) Latinos/Arabs (this combo its "funny" because a lot of Latin culture is also heavily influenced by Arab culture, but I dont have time to explain this rn LOL)

Tsuna getting a white box with a red bow on St. Valentines day and getting all excited, he opens it to find a note that reads

“For our dear Decimo, hope you had a great day, here is a small token of our appreciation, from your allies the heart of our enemies”

Inside the box is an actual heart

Tsuna is more than done with the whole mafia courting him.
