"I can do more."

Why not? thought Jon. They are all convinced she is a princess. Val looked the part and rode as if she had been born on horseback. A warrior princess, he decided, not some willowy creature who sits up in a tower, brushing her hair and waiting for some knight to rescue her. "I must inform the queen of this agreement," he said. "You are welcome to come meet her, if you can find it in yourself to bend a knee." It would never do to offend Her Grace before he even opened his mouth. (Jon XI, ADwD)

Sansa tried to hurry, but her fingers fumbled at buttons and knots. The Hound was always rough-tongued, but something in the way he had looked at her filled her with dread. Had Joffrey found out about her meetings with Ser Dontos? Please no, she thought as she brushed out her hair. Ser Dontos was her only hope. I have to look pretty, Joff likes me to look pretty, he's always liked me in this gown, this color. She smoothed the cloth down. The fabric was tight across her chest. (Sansa III, ACoK)

Ofc I decide to draw Bran while reading the one book he’s not in lmao KInda bad quality bc I cropped the canvas way too small rip 

In regards to what you've said about Cersei and Rhaegar. I think it has less to do with Rhaegar himself but more with Cersei's trauma with Robert. That is why he is brought up so much in her chapters, to her he represents a life she thinks she could have had if Aerys had accepted Tywin's proposal. I think it is something very human to believe we would have been happier if x, y or z hadn't happened in our lives....

I definitely agree that Cersei idealizes what her life with Rhaegar would have been like. It is a coping mechanism for her, a form of escapism for sure.

However, my point is that the deliberate contrast Cersei engages in between Rhaegar and Robert, the very fact that Rhaegar could represent freedom and happiness for her, that she uses him to cope with being married to Robert, further showcases that Rhaegar is not the "Nazi pedophile wife beating white supremacist" the fandom demonizes him as. That Cersei's love and idolization of Rhaegar is just one of the many motifs that showcase how loved Rhaegar truly was by many different people.

And best of all, Lord Nestor’s cooks prepared a splendid subtlety, a lemon cake in the shape of the Giant’s Lance, twelve feet tall and adorned with an Eyrie made of sugar. For me, Alayne thought, as they wheeled it out. The cake had required every lemon in the Vale, but Petyr had promised that he would send to Dorne for more.
