An accurate list of the best movies I've ever seen

This list also includes reasons that are all too objective and nonsensical. Avoid asking too many questions. And share what you think in the comments!

Hercules

Hercules is probably my favourite Disney movie. And I also think that's where my interest in Greek mythology started. Hades is my favorite villain from this company and he's such a mood.

The Prince of Egypt

Oh dear you don't know how much I love this movie. I know every song by heart and was lucky enough to sing them with my choir. I'm a big fan of animation and despite how old is this movie, I think it remains one of the best ever produced. I cried more times over this movie than over all the others on this list combined.

Friends & Family

I only discovered this film this year but it quickly became one of my favorites. I have never laughed for so many consecutive minutes at a movie. I approached it because it's unusual to see a gay mob-themed movie, but I immediately fell in love with all the characters and the final scene remains one of the most comic I have ever seen.

Treasure Planet

I have a soft spot for animated films about great adventures and self-discovery. Jim has been my only animated crush for years, and his story has always resonated with something inside of me (maybe the desire for adventure and his recklessness, idk). Plus, of course, "'I'm Still Here" is one of the most beautiful soundtracks ever created.

Howl's Moving Castle

One of the first films I saw by Studio Ghibli and my absolute favourite. The love stories created by this Studio are always wonderful, and this one is no different. Plus I always saw myself in Sophie (especially about the crush on Howl) and, well, there's Calcifer, what more do you want?

Les Choristes

Another thing I love: movies about music. It may be that I've been playing an instrument for years and singing in choirs, but I've always cried watching kids rediscover a new side of themselves through music and songs. And these songs are composition's masterpieces. I still remember them all by heart even though French isn't my native language.

A Christmas Carol

I'm slightly obsessed with this story, with Charles Dickens and with Christmas. I was born on Christmas Eve so you can imagine how close this theme is to my heart. I have seen several versions of this story though, and for some reason, this one remains my favourite. It may be that it's different from other more colourful versions and really shows the darkness behind the original story, idk.

How to Train Your Dragon

I literally grew up with this saga: I was 8 years old at the first film, 12 at the second and 17 at the third. I watched Hiccup grow up with me as a friend and Toothless as a fellow adventurer. I'll forever be grateful to Dreamworks for creating the best-animated saga that cinema has ever seen.

The Three Musketeers

This movie is so random that it's perfect. I watched it again recently (after like 8 years) and realized that maybe my daddy issues come from this movie: Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom and the freaking Mads Mikkelsen together, seriously? I'm not surprised it was one of my favourite movies growing up.

A Monster in Paris

The love I have for this film is enormous. I could never get over the beauty of the songs in it. The characters are so well written and Francœur will always be in my top animated characters. It's too amazing to be real.

Rise of the Guardians

I could talk for hours about this film and have not even touched the tip of the iceberg. I have an insane obsession with all the characters, starting with and especially Jack, my top animated crush for years. It's all so perfect that I don't see how people never nominate it when it comes to top animated movies.

The Hobbit

Again, I have serious problems with films about fantasy adventures. I have always preferred The Hobbit saga to its sequel because the story has always fascinated me more. And the main character especially: for me Bilbo >>>> Frodo. And then there's Thorin and Luke Evans. You know, daddy issues.

Mune: Guardian of the Moon

Another French animated movie, another obsession, another adventure, another animated character in my top. This is an example of how to do good animation. There isn't a colour out of place. The settings are authentic, the characters are original, and the adventure they make gets me every time.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

I'm maybe a Muggle, but I prefer Fantastic Beasts to the Harry Potter saga. That's not to say it's better, mind you, but it reflects me more. We all know how we Hufflepuffs (and Ravenclaws) have no real representation in the HP movies, so to be able to have at least one prequel saga starring a Hufflepuff (in which I also find myself far too much) as the protagonist is wonderful. And I have an unhealthy urge to become a magizoologist.

The Greatest Showman

It's the movie I have watched the most of these. I know every song by heart and every line too. It always manages to be a roller coaster of emotions. And it has Hugh Jackman in it.

The Boy Foretold By The Stars

I'm a big supporter of the Philippine's film company. This is one movie is gentle, funny, and not based on the usual drama between Christianity and LGBT+ people (which is what I thought when reading the plot at first). Moreover, another underrated thing, the Philippines' music company here has thrown in masterpiece after masterpiece of songs, perfect for this movie.

Bros

This is my top comfort film in the last year. It's like watching a Hallmark movie but hotter, much more sincere and gay. Very gay. And the relationship between the two main characters is so cute and sweet. And funny.

Top Gun: Maverick

I love this saga but especially love this particular chapter. I love Maverick and his relationship with Rooster, and all the other characters are so well-written. And don't get me started on the story... I LOVE it. There isn't much else to say except that Cruise is a great actor (and a terrible person).

Glass Onion - Knives Out

I love my silly little gay detective. And I have a little passion for movies and mystery series. I found this saga's chapter more compelling than the first one, and the characters gripped me more. Also I fell in love with the setting. Oh and then there are Daniel Craig and Hugh Grant.

Any of y'all seen "A Monster in Paris"? Such a fantastic movie. I think it's gotten quite popular now, but before nobody would really talk about it. It's such an amazing movie tho and I love it so much, probably my favorite childhood movie. And I watched it in English and not the original French audio so I know the English lyrics to the songs (sorry.) Jdhdhe.

#Idk if anyone cares about that but sometimes people like to say the original is better #a monster in paris #Such an amazing film omfg #And someone said it was a low budget film like WHAT?! And it's THAT good???#The animation is spectacular the writing is amazing and everything else is chef's kiss

Some thoughts about A Monster In Paris:

the "dragon" in Emile's dream at the start is a big crocodile that can breath fire. Something like this could have been made by the Professor. I know it's just his dream and not real (as in real in the film) but it could be

Similarly the monkey Charles could be so intelligent due to the Professor making him that way with his potions (or he could just be a very clever monkey).

When Raoul and Emile and in the professors lab, Raoul says "look at that monster!" when he sees the sequoia. I think this is foreshadowing. Also at the moment he says this, Emile is filming an orchid much like the one Maude has. Wether he's doing this to show her or because the flower reminded him of her, it's very cute.

#a monster in paris #Sorryyyy I'm a science fiction nerd #after reading Frankenstein and the island of Dr moreau I love stories about morally questionable science #amip is a children's film and doesn't contain animal experimentation. Or it does but in a cute way not a scary way

One of the loveliest things about posting art in a relatively small fandom is that there’s going to be those dedicated fans who are absolutely thrilled to share it and are so happy to have an addition to their little hoard <3

#talking about the amip fandom in this case #‘a monster in Paris’ is an excellent film #but in reality this applies to so many other little places

˙✧˖°📷 ༘ ⋆｡˚ FUN NIGHT IN PARIS

˚ ༘ ೀ synopsis ⋆｡˚Joohyung and Beomgyu share their first night in Paris in a memorable way, and of course they have to remember it so they decide to film it

˚ ༘ ೀ warnings ⋆｡˚switch!joohyung, switch!beomgyu, nicknames (puppy, goddess, my love), unprotected, lots of spit, filming, creampie, cumplay

˚ ༘ ೀ author’s note⋆｡˚this is my second time writing smut and I hope it’s good enough also fyi Joohyung changed her hair right before the award shows, so now she added extensions in her hair to make it long again along with dyeing it a pearly white color along with getting a hime cut (inspo pic kinda)

After an exhausting 14 hour flight along with getting modded and grabbed by so call “fans” everyone made it to their separate hotel rooms in Paris. Basically Beomgyu and Joohyung, they usually always share a room together when they’re flying out of Korea. Staff helped bring in their suitcases before finally leaving the two alone after the chaotic night they had. Joohyung took off her gentle monster glasses and threw them onto the bedside table, along with sliding off her winter coat and leaving it on the floor next to her heels before plopping herself on to their king size bed. “That wasn’t the way I wanted to enter Paris, but what can you do.” She scoffed while she moved to lay on her side staring out into the city view.

“They shouldn’t have grabbed you and Yeonjun hyung like that.” Beomgyu sat next to her head and gently lifted the wrist the person gripped on and kissed the inside of it. Joohyung stared at Beomgyu with her siren like eyes watching his doe eyes meet hers. It was like they gave each other a mutual agreement on what was going to happen next. Maybe it was the cups of wine the Dior team feed them as a ‘thank you for coming’ before taking them to their rooms that has them feeling hot and hungry for each other.

One thing led to another and Joohyung pushed Beomgyu’s head down so their lips can meet. It wasn’t long before their tongues swirled against each other sharing their saliva. Beomgyu became desperate, he held Joohyung’s chin in place and started sucking her tongue. Moving up and down, “nah~” Joohyung whimpered at the sight and feeling. The two separated and as they slowly pull away a string of saliva connected them. “Come on puppy, I know what you want.” Joohyung teased Beomgyu, as she took off her shirt along with her bra leaving her bare boobs out. Beomgyu wasted no time diving into Joohyung’s breasts. Licking, sucking, and bitting Joohyung’s pink nipples and all around her boobs is Beomgyu’s favorite activity when it comes to sex. “So plump-“ lick, “so round-“ playing and squeezing them, “so fucking soft-“ bite. “Ah! Puppy so rough.” Joohyung pouted down at Beomgyu. “I’m sorry my love,” he caressed them. “I’m addicted to them like all those sick fucks are.” Beomgyu gave kisses to them before going back to swirl their tongues together.

He was referring to all those men watching her fancams just to catch a glimpse of her boobs bounce during her dancing. “Maybe we can not only show them, but show all those girls who think they can have you huh?” Joohyung grabbed Beomgyu’s iPhone which quickly become his personal phone after they got the sponsorship with Samsung. She unlocked it and press the camera app and placed the phone on the bedside table angling it to get the perfect shot of them. “Let’s record it.” Joohyung pressed record. “God I love you.” Beomgyu pulled Joohyung by her arm and started making out with her again.

“Be a good puppy and get undressed.” Joohyung pulled away and demanded. Beomgyu threw his shirt across the room along with pants and underwear leaving him completely nude. “Now help me.” Joohyung gave Beomgyu an innocent look over shoulder. His body was on auto pilot mode and immediately bent down and pulled down her pants. Seeing Joohyung’s wet panties and vaguely seeing her pussy lips drove Beomgyu crazy. “Fuck my love.” Feeling his hot breath near her pussy cause her to get even wetter. “Beom-ya!” Joohyung gasped, as Beomgyu laid his tongue flat against her wet underwear licking up her neuter through her underwear. Joohyung moaned looking right at the phone that was catching everything. He then placed one of Joohyung’s legs on top of bed giving him more access. “A-ah you dirty mutt.” Joohyung threw her head back, as she pushed his head closer to her wet pussy. The phone started picking up the wet sounds coming from Beomgyu’s mouth. “I’m gonna c-cum!” Joohyung started grinding into his mouth. “Cum my precious noona.” Beomgyu moaned into her soaked underwear. “Oh shit! Just like that you fucking mutt.” Joohyung grinded a finally time into Beomgyu’s face before cumming.

Beomgyu gave little kisses to your covered pussy before fully pulling away and grabbing his phone off the table, and started recording him slowly pulling down your ruin underwear showing your arousal sticking to your underwear. “This is some precious shit right here.” He ran his middle down your cunt making you whimper holding his wrist. “Come on noona we can’t stop now.” He was getting cocky. “Look since you called me a mutt let me fuck you like one.” Beomgyu pushed Joohyung down onto the bed laying on her stomach. He quickly placed the phone back in its place. “God look at this sweet ass.” Beomgyu gave both soft cheeks a spank or two. Joohyung whimpered into the sheets, tightly holding on to them. Beomgyu started to rut against Joohyung’s ass and sometimes against her sensitive pussy getting his dick wet.

It didn’t take long before Beomgyu slamming his dick right into Joohyung’s tight cunt. “G-Gyu! Please fuck me!” Feeling Beomgyu’s long and veiny cock inside of her drove crazy. Beomgyu laid himself onto Joohyung’s back while holding a makeshift ponytail to keep her head up, as he continued abusing her tight pussy. “Fuck-your clenching on me.” Beomgyu moaned right into her ear. “Kiss me.” Joohyung whimpered. Beomgyu smashed his lips onto hers both moaning into it. Beomgyu’s cocky ass looked straight into the camera and smirked, as they started french kissing. He imagined all the pathetic men wishing to be in his place fucking their idol. Looking back at Joohyung and seeing her fucked out face really drove him to the edge and fucked her even harder.

The skin slapping noise echoing through out the room was so loud anybody passing by the room will know exactly what’s going on. “Cum i-in me. I want it so bad.” Joohyung cried. Visible tear stains were under her eyes clearly enjoying Beomgyu’s roughness. Beomgyu knew Joohyung loves getting creampied which is also his favorite knowing that he’s claiming her with his seed and only his. “Cum with me Jooie.” Beomgyu squeezed Joohyung’s throat causing her to immediately cum on his dick. Beomgyu gave a final hard thrust filling Joohyung’s womb up with his white sticky cum.

“You give me so much cum puppy.” Joohyung lazily giggled also trying to catch her breath. Beomgyu mumbled, “you’re welcome.” Also catching his breath while slowly getting up from Joohyung’s back. His dick slowly slides out leaving her pussy with a little ‘pop’ sound. Joohyung could finally turn to lay on her back still fucked out and tried. Beomgyu’s cum slowly started leaking out of her cunt catching Beomgyu’s attention. Once again he reaches over to get his phone and focuses it on her leaking cunt. “Look how pretty she looks.” Beomgyu starts rubbing his cum all around her pussy causing Joohyung to twitch, as he’s overstimulating her. “Beomgyu~” Joohyung moaned. “Fuck baby taste it.” Beomgyu took his cum covered fingers up against Joohyung’s lips wanting her to suck on them. Joohyung gladly took his two fingers in her mouth making sure to clean the cum right off. “Mm, tasty.” She laughed, as she looked into phone camera.

“Clean me as well noona.” Beomgyu moved closer up to her face and slapped his dick on her lips. Joohyung swirled around his tip causing him to groaned, “my fucking goddess.” Joohyung took in more of Beomgyu making sure every inch was cleaned off. “And yes I’m going to be the one having his babies.” Joohyung talked to the phone. She was referring to all his fan girls constantly thirsting over Beomgyu and having fake scenarios with him in person. “Only you, love.” Beomgyu turned off his phone and went down to kiss Joohyung and it wasn’t a rough kiss it was a lovely one, soft and gentle.

The couple rested for 30 minutes before Beomgyu got up and started running a shower for the both of them since they both were sweaty and sticky. After showering they did their skincare routine together along with brushing their teeth, and finally getting dressed to sleep. Joohyung immediately went straight to sleep once she hit the pillow while Beomgyu was doing his big spoon duties along with caressing some of her sore spots before going to sleep himself.

IWTV Trailer (me losing my freaking marbles - YOLO) Pt1

I'm just going frame by frame thru AMC'S BEAUTIFUL new IWTV trailer. But I had to split this into 2 parts cuz Tumblr won't let me post 30+ pics.

We've already seen Lestat's Theatre portrait on fire (burn, bish!) but the TRANSITION they made here is DISGUSTING--they know what they're doing!

Lou goes from thinking about setting the Theatre on fire (nervously/uncomfortably rubbing his chin, my poor baby), to another scene of him chainsmoking and staring sadly off into the void. I'm assuming it's the 1970s interview, cuz we see Afro!Lou in the same shirt when he effs up BB!Daniel a few minutes later.

AND they said Louis's "stronger, and harder, too," during ANOTHER closeup of Louis chainsmoking. Pyromaniac du Lac LIVES.

Then we get that INTERESTING exchange with Loumand about Oldmaniel:

Armand does NOT like this interview, no ma'am! What are you tryna hide?! 🧐

The fandom legit already MADE THIS JOKE too! XD

The parallels with Loumand enjoying watching movies together (NO CLAUDIA 👀)--and Loustat enjoying opera & movies together.

Loumand as a happy old married couple--I mean it, Rolin: what TF happened between the 1970s interview, the year 2000, and 2022, to make Louis' mental state get SO DANG BAD!?

Armand seems to be implying that 1970s SanFran wasn't where he failed Louis, but 1940s Paris when he burns the Theatre--but I'm seriously wondering if something else went down, cuz LOOK AT MY BABY. BLOOD TEARS. I cannot.

This hollow, fake smile Claudia gives when Loumand walks into the room; wearing makeup & an adult hairstyle tryna look grown--I wonder if this is the same night she joins the Theatre?

Lou & Claudia--he just gives her The Eyebrows, not saying anything (but Armand looks WAY too smug ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)); and we know Armand AND Claudia can EASILY read his mind way better than he can read either of theirs.

Louis calls her "a spark in the dark," right before they cut to the bombs falling all over WWII Europe with flames everywhere--including all over her face--foreshadowing her ashes to ashes, dust to dust. ("Rigged to burn," Louis said in S01E03.)

Did they get hit by bombs, or fall into mine fields?! Jfc. (OR maybe they were sleeping underground, in the earth, and woke up in a battlefield--GOD.) And this must be the same scene where Lou eats the heart--we see Claud throwing limbs around--are they scavenging bombed up corpses?

And the flame in the photographs Louis takes, which she's been tearing down--figuratively in the other teaser, and literally here.

Claudia finna GO OFF! (I HAD to make this one a gif, to see her wrath in MOTION 🤌)

EAT that racist French White, Claudia, PLEASE. Colonizer Capital--Paris SUCKS!

LOUIS DE POINTE DU LAC, ladies and gentlemen. U_U

You're one of a kind, sweetie--that's why the whole Theatre was tripping, cuz Lestat's "coven" in NOLA didn't look ANYTHING like how all other vampire covens worked. Lestat & Louis & Claudia were a FAMILY. They lived like humans--or as close to human as possible. Plus they were painfully weak, with none of the Dark Gifts. They weren't living like monsters--at least not on the surface....

In the other teaser I thought this dirty heifer who attacked Louis was a revenant, but if she's in the Theatre then this must be Alessandra or Eleni (which means a Rhoshamandes name drop!? 👀💀)? Please random dude please be Benedict. 🙏 I need more TVC cameos!

I'm wondering if this was part of a performance when Madeleine & Claudia were part of the Theatre, not during the Trial? OR this is AMC's recreation of the film version with the naked lady--"so we can eat people."

Armand finna GO OFF! But WHERE TF are his FANGS!? That's my ONE major gripe with this show--I'm so sick of seeing these stupid acrylics everywhere but no FANGS.

Then the trailer immediately tells me to STFU, LOL. XD

Lelio Rising. Lelio Falling. (Ooooo--the Tower Scene should be SPICY)

Then they use the "script" line to transition to The Trial, when Armand forced Lestat to be scripted! 😭 DIABOLICAL! And I LOVE this frame--it's giving me Oppenheimer when he was walking through the stands as everyone applauded him for dropping the bomb & he was PTSDing. (I had to make a separate post just for this brainworm.)

So Dan's finished the interview and this is his editor. (OR, even spicier, this dude's from the Talamasca, and Daniel's broken the NDA & fled the penthouse?) But chile, ain't nobody scared of LDPDL. 🙄 Daniel should be well aware by now that Louis snapped in the 1970s, sure, but he's not the REAL threat in that house, Mr. Mediocre Star to a 500 Year Old Vampire. Unless they're talking about LESTAT? 👀💀 WHERE TFC IS HE IN 2022?!

What in CHRIST'S NAME is coming out of his effing NECK? 😱 It was SQUEALING, like a KOCHON.

Louis slinging blood at the Sea of Galilee Armand stole for him, LOLOLOL.

Louis effing Daniel up--"you were disrespectful!" I wonder if BB!Dan crying was when Armand was busy stalking him when he was drunk AF & dying of alcohol poisoning.

I LOVE THIS. Louis is the center of it all--"It's you and me. Me, and you." 😭💔 Said over and over--Louis and Lestat, Claudia, Armand, and Daniel (and even Santiago U_U).

#interview with the vampire #louis de pointe du lac #pyromaniac du lac #louis de pointe du black #justice for claudia #loustat #loumand #must see tv #SCREAMING #screaming crying throwing up #the hype is real

Bro you just killed my Kid Cudi listening sesh for this. How many times are we going to go over this with you people for fuck's sake

Rhaelya stans hate Sansa because...

Let me stop you right there. I am a Rhaelya, a Jonrya, and a Jon stan. I don't think about Sansa unless I'm forced to. My hyperfixation is on certain characters. Sansa isn't on my radar enough for me to hate her. Like Jon, I feel little else but indifference for her.

Sansa being a hostage makes Lyanna...look like she was a hostage...because there are parallels in both their situations.

But it's *not* a parallel, and here's exactly why.

Rhaegar is not like Joffrey.

Rhaegar actually died with Lyanna's name on his lips, as was confirmed in the official World of Ice and Fire App.

He was also described as a "love-struck prince" by the author himself:

At last I was able to ask him the question I had sent for the tombola. I have always been fascinated by how ASOIAF embodies the theories put forward by Acemoglu and Robinson about countries with extractive institutions (which hamper development). So my question was: Why do you think the political institutions in the Seven Kingdoms are so weak? His answer: the Kingdom was unified with dragons, so the Targaryen's[sic] flaw was to create an absolute monarchy highly dependent on them, with the small council not designed to be a real check and balance. So, without dragons it took a sneeze, a wildly incompetent and megalomaniac king, a love struck prince, a brutal civil war, a dissolute king that didn't really know what to do with the throne and then chaos. Interesting answer.

[Source]

Joffrey had no real love for Sansa. He saw her as an object to mistreat and misuse. He had no empathy and a deep lack of consideration for other people. He had her beaten because it gave him momentary gratification, because he was a psychopath. How is this comparable in any way to Lyanna at the tower of joy?

In fact, the whole point of what we are finding out about Rhaegar through Dany's chapters is to prove that Rhaegar is literally not the monster Robert has been making him out to be. That all Robert has said was due of his blind hatred of him and little more. So again, how is Lyanna's experiences in the tower of joy comparable to Sansa being beaten and harmed as a hostage in King's Landing?

How could this be a parallel, and can you back your claim with anything other than headcanons that have no basis in the books?

There is a reason why the tale of the winter rose was told to Jon specifically — because Bael the Bard and the Stark maiden is analogous to Rhaegar and Lyanna.

George says this about romance:

It's interesting, to get back to this issue of romance that you raised earlier. When I was in Spain a few years ago, I had dinner with a woman — a Spanish academic — and a big fan of both science fiction and romance, and she had read a lot of my stuff because people said I was a very romantic writer. And she sort of launched at me and said, "What are you talking about?! You are not a romantic writer, you know. Nobody ever lives happily ever after in your books!"

I was defending it, saying, "Well, but that's a different tradition of romance. I don't — I'm a romantic writer in the tradition of The Great Gatsby and Romeo and Juliet, and, you know, the Beauty and the Beast. These things don't necessarily have happy endings, but aren't the most powerful romances the unfulfilled romances — the romances where people go their separate ways, but they'll always have Paris, like in Casablanca, one of the films I showed here. You know, they go separate at the end, but they'll always have Paris." And she basically said, "No, you're wrong. They have to be happily ever after together for it to be romance, otherwise it's just sad."

[Source—clip starts at around 03:19]

This traditional telling of romance is shown quite clearly with both Bael the Bard with the Winter Rose and Rhaegar with Lyanna. Bael the Bard's tale was briefly happy:

No. They had been in Winterfell all the time, hiding with the dead beneath the castle. The maid loved Bael so dearly she bore him a son, the song says...though if truth be told, all the maids love Bael in them songs he wrote.

But also ended in tragedy:

"The song ends when they find the babe, but there is a darker end to the story. Thirty years later, when Bael was King-beyond-the-Wall and led the free folk south, it was young Lord Stark who met him at the Frozen Ford...and killed him, for Bael would not harm his own son when they met sword to sword."

"So the son slew the father instead," said Jon.

"Aye," she said, "but the gods hate kinslayers, even when they kill unknowing. When Lord Stark returned from the battle and his mother saw Bael's head upon his spear, she threw herself from a tower in her grief. Her son did not long outlive her. One o' his lords peeled the skin off him and wore him for a cloak." (Jon VI, ACoK)

Rhaegar left to fight in the War of the Usurper, lost and died. Lyanna died giving birth to Jon. And Jon died trying to save "Arya" from Ramsay.

This is what George means by a romantic love story.

And they also love Arya, because...Arya...looks like Lyanna

Or maybe we just like Arya because she's a fantastic character. Idk OP, could be that.

and isn't as hyper feminine as Sansa

This ties in quite well to the misogyny some "fans" of the series have to women like Arya. It's not because Sansa is "hyper feminine" that I don't care for her. I'm just indifferent to her. Femininity has absolutely nothing to do with it. I don't know if you know, but women can and do express themselves in different ways.

therefore her fans think she aligns with Rhaegar

?????????????

because they...hate Sansa and pretend its a love story

That is 100% the way George is taking R+L's story. This is quite literally his preferred telling of a romantic story. One where they share a brief affection for one another despite the eventual consequences, but end up separated, or worse.

Even though the point of Lyanna Stark is that her untold narrative is comparative to both Sansa and Arya

How is Lyanna's narrative comparative to Sansa? The only thing you've given was a non-parallel of being in the Red Keep/tower of joy, but there's nothing to suggest that Lyanna was trapped, beaten, or harmed there.

The king frowned. "A knife, perhaps. A good sharp one, and a bold man to wield it."

Ned did not feign surprise; Robert's hatred of the Targaryens was a madness in him. (Eddard II, AGoT)

--

For the first time in years, he found himself remembering Rhaegar Targaryen. He wondered if Rhaegar had frequented brothels; somehow he thought not. (Eddard IX, AGoT)

You do not find it strange that the brother of the woman who was supposedly trapped and imprisoned at the tower of joy has no ill words to say about the man who supposedly committed such heinous crimes?
