New Stewart Clarke cameo I requested about Dion and Terence:
Question: First of all, thank you so much for portraying Dion with such passion and commitment, he is one of my favorite character ever, and was very important for me! I wanted to ask you your perception about something concerning Terence and Dion’s relationship. It’s refreshing to see that -in my understanding- they were not secretive about their love because they were two men, but for other reasons, maybe to protect each other from court intrigues and for social status differences. What’s your opinion on this matter? Also, do you think Sylvestre, Anabella and the Dragoons know?
The answer is on the video: we have the confirmation that Stewart talked with producers and screenwriters about teredio a lot! ♥️♥️
And also: “It’s difficult, but not insurmountable, as it’s clearly demonstrated by the two of them making it work. Because they love each other so much.” Awwwwww MY HEART!!!

I kindly asked Stewart Clarke ( Dion Lesage's English VA) on Cameo "How he thinks Dion's first flirting with Terence would go ?" And this was his answer! Sharing because it meant so much to me AND for the perfection of that answer. You can BET I will draw that scene for sure!

I always wonder that 最愛の恋人 in JP lore is the way they describe Dion and Terence relationship in figurative way or in metaphor which is strange because lore is supposed to be factual.
But when Ultimania drops and it's clear, Terence is literally Dion's Love of his life/Dearest lover.

Now we are blaming Rhaegar also for act he did not do, and for the showrunners choices.
i don’t think i’ve seen anyone address this but it is so fucking disrespectful to aegon targaryen (son of elia) to name jon snow aegon. if aegon did die then his death was a direct consequence of rhaegar’s actions that resulted in jon’s birth. if young griff isn’t actually aegon, then this poor boy had his head smashed against the wall because his father abandoned his family to fulfill some prophecy and they think it’s a good idea to name another one of his son’s aegon.
and you know for a fact that if rhaegar did win, he would have completely overlooked aegon for jon.

Rubies flew like drops of blood from the chest of a dying prince, and he sank to his knees in the water and with his last breath murmured a woman’s name.

I find the anti parallels between Rhaegar and Robert very interesting.
Both were two young men who were capable fighters. But while Robert enjoyed fighting and hunting Rhaegar took no pleasure of it. Unlike Robert, he had more peaceful hobbies such as: playing harp and reading books.
Both were very handsome and many maidens dreamed of them. But while Robert frequented on brothels, Ned Stark doubts the same would be true about Rhaegar. Robert has many bastards and he doesn't even know most of them. He never cared about them or their mothers. Meanwhile, Rhaegar only has one bastard ( if Jon Snow is indeed a bastard) and it was out of love. Before he left to go to the war, he provided Lyanna and his a safe place to live ( Tower of Joy) and some of the kingsguard to guarantee their protection .
As for their trueborn children, we never see Robert having any positive interaction with Joffrey, Myrcella or Tommen. On Rhaegar's case, despite the fact that he never appears on the current timeline, we do know that his daughter during the sack of king's landing was on his room- which indicates a close relationship between father and daughter.
Another antithesis between them is that Robert lived for the moment only never caring about the depth the crown was, while Rhaegar was deeply concerned about the future of Westeros.
Both were popular leaders ( king and prince). But their legacies are so different. Robert's "son" and his siblings fought over the Iron Throne after his death and most of his actual children don't even know their relation to him. Meanwhile, Daenerys named both her son and one of her dragons after her eldest brother and he's her main leader inspiration. As for the only child of his that survived, Jon is the character who is most concerned about the threat of the Others. He doesn't know it yet, but he's focused on Westeros survival as much as his father was.

People agreeing with the first post just hypocritically tapped the “like” button without putting mind to the consequences. It’s not even related to liking Rhaegar or not, just saying that a person has sadness in him = not being able to love is a very damaging thing to say, and deeply invalidating towards anyone who suffers and in general towards emotionality
Opinions on Elia Martell and Rhaegar Targaryen's relationship? Most people dismiss it as an unhappy union, but that's not in the text. Just because it's implied that they weren't in love, that doesn't mean there was no depth to their marriage. Didn't GRRM say their relationship was a complex one? Also, is it just me or is "he was fond of her" not as terrible as everyone says?
I’ve said before and I’ll say again, I don’t think Rhaegar was capable of really loving anyone - not Elia, not Lyanna, basically no one. Barristan says that it was not in Rhaegar to be happy, that there was a “melancholy” to him, a “sense of doom”. Every character is apt to have biases, of course, but Barristan was a firsthand witness and, perhaps more importantly, held Rhaegar in high regard and thought he would have made a “finer” king than Jaehaerys II, Aerys II, or Robert; if Barristan who thought so highly of him still says he was melancholic and withdrawn, I’d believe it.
Too, and relatedly, I think Rhaegar was deeply secretive and withdrawn about his prophetic interests. This, I think, was tied up in his feelings about himself: he was burdened by prophecy, burdened by the memory of his prophecy-mandated birth causing the horrific deaths of family members, burdened by the knowledge that he and he alone was responsible for saving humanity when its greatest crisis came. Who could possibly understand his situation? Arthur Dayne, perhaps - he too came from an ancient and mystical bloodline, and he too was charged with great responsibility, as Sword of the Morning. But what could a mere lordling, or a wife, understand of the coming of the Others, the new Long Night, the need for a hero who could save the world from darkness?
Now consider Elia Martell. She came from a land in general and a family in particular where women are not relegated to subservient roles. She was the daughter of the reigning Princess of Dorne, a woman (presumably) respected and obeyed by her courtiers and vassals. Her closest relationship in her youth was with her brother Oberyn, who was devoted to her, her virtual twin. The Unnamed Princess had raised her to make an advantageous betrothal, certainly, and probably educated her in what to expect in marriage, but her mother’s instruction and her own upbringing might have given Elia some confidence. She was not nothing: she was a born princess, and the daughter of a ruling princess. Rhaegar, as was probably reported to her, was handsome, intelligent, and chivalrous. Together, they would make a model crown princely, and eventually kingly, couple.
But then Elia married Rhaegar, and the disillusionment and frustration probably set in pretty quickly. Her new home of Dragonstone was cold, gloomy, and isolated; her royal father-in-law was a physical and mental wreck, violently paranoid and deeply suspicious of her immediately; her primary role - to provide a Targaryen heir for the next generation - was dangerous to the point of near-fatal for her. There was no comfort to be had anywhere, and least of all from her husband. It was not that Rhaegar was cruel or mean; I’m sure he treated Elia with all the courtesy her position demanded. But he was melancholic and withdrawn, a sharp contrast to hot-blooded and energetic - and loving - Oberyn. 
It was doubtless a frustrating situation for Elia. She would do everything she was “supposed” to do - be the kind, gracious, clever crown princess of Barristan’s report - but that exterior image only hid what was happening on a personal level. Rhaegar might have grown “fond” of her, but fondness was for describing one’s liking for songs or flowers or adorable little children, not for a prince’s relationship to his princess. For the clever daughter of a reigning princess to be excluded from Rhaegar’s interest in the texts he read, as though he could not trust her with the information, might likewise have hurt her. After a year of marriage, she was no more than the crown prince’s “fond” spouse, a dynastic failure for having only produced a daughter, a figure hated by the deranged king and his cronies. Her husband’s public insult to her at Harrenhal, and her knowledge that she could never have more children (despite her probable desire for more and Rhaegar’s expressed need for “another”), probably only added to her sense of isolation.
GRRM called their marriage “complex”, and promised (three years ago) that we’d learn more about it in future books. I certainly hope so. At this point, I view it as complex because of its public success - the handsome, dashing prince and the fair, gracious princess, with a son and daughter to carry on the Targaryen line - and its probable private turmoil - Rhaegar’s melancholy, Elia’s loneliness, his conduct toward her in pursuit of his prophetic goals. As Rhaegar surged ahead, confident that history would prove him right and what he did was necessary for the salvation of humanity, he might have thought little of those he hurt in the short-term - Elia included.
