Thanks for stopping by!🫶
Do you ever think about how Rhaenyra is the youngest ever dragon rider in Targaryen history, and that Daenerys is the first dragon rider in nearly 200 years?
Aemond vs Lucerys???
Y’all are going to be saying Jahaerys vs Blood and Cheese next.
Lucerys came under a peace banner and is 14 years old with a tiny dragon vs Aemond’s 20 with the largest dragon alive. That shit is not a fair fight. 😭
"But Jace and Luke are bastards!"
Can you prove it? Can you? Can you dispute that Laenor claimed them as his own? Can you dispute King Viserys claiming them as his grandsons? Do you have a Westerosi DNA test up your ass? Do you have their Ancestry dot com results? Do you?
Name another celebrity who played a character where fans get on their knees for her and call her a Queen. Even other celebrities worship her for Daenerys.
She made Game of Thrones what it was. Argue with the wall.
Kind of wish they’d started at the conquest then? Without the backstory of Aegon I, Maegor, or Jaehaerys the dance doesn’t really hit the same.
Seems weird to have started in the middle of their dynasty to me, when starting earlier could bring more understanding and flow better.
Sounds like show runner Ryan Condal is very interesting in turning
#HouseOfTheDragon
into an anthology series, covering different eras of the Targaryen dynasty.

That’s the twist. The White Walkers were not the prophesied threat to the world that the Prince that was Promised was supposed to stop.
It was Daenerys, and the tyranny that comes with utopian goals and the conquest required to attain it. THAT was the Long Night.
Not to be THAT person, but why did they have the Velaryons dressing in Baratheon colours the whole season?
Rhaenys I can understand, she's half Baratheon, but the rest of the Velaryons wearing gold and black to Laenor's wedding was,,, weird.
Give them sea green outfits!!!
Rhaenyra: “My sweet sister Helaena,” “We should wed our children,” “Aemond can have one of Syrax’s eggs,”
Alicent: That WHORE will KILL ALL of my CHILDREN! We must STOP her NOW before she puts my children to the SWORD. She will NEVER backdown.
I really hate GoT for taking away all of the magic, prophecies, and general fantasy of ASOIAF. We could have had stunning castles, vibrantly coloured dragons, and gorgeous high fantasy dresses!
This is why I stand firmly behind the belief that ASOIAF would be better animated.
If you think the point is that Rhaenyra shouldn’t get the throne because her children are bastards, you’ve missed the point. This was just an excuse for Alicent to take action. It has nothing to do with bastards and everything to do with the fact she’s a woman.
Former Showrunner, Miguel Sapochnik, alludes that Rhaenyra & Alicent did in fact have some form of a romantic entanglement with each other.
“That first crush you have on your best friend, that’s a girl, that you can’t change.”
#HouseOfTheDragon
“When the sun sets, your line shall end.”
“We have come to die for the dragon Queen.”
“I fed my last husband to my dragon. If you make me take another, I may eat him myself.”
RAWEST lines in Fire and Blood.
I've seen a lot of people say today that they liked GoT/HotD for its realism take on fantasy.
You don't like fantasy then. The books have so many more fantastical elements to them that the show writers took out to make it more palatable for a general audience.
She's the embodiment of Alysanne's kindness, Rhaenrya's strength, Rhaegar's sense of duty, Aegon I's battle smarts, Alyssa's wit, Naerys' femininity, and everything in between!
If you do not like Daenerys, you don't like the traits that make up House Targaryen. Simple as that.
People getting mad that the Princess of Dragonstone was on Dragonstone?
As heir, that is her official seat. She realistically should spend most of her time there. Y’all mad at her for doing her job? Ignoring all the drama she wanted to be away from, she SHOULD be living there.
Laenor said they were his kids. Biologically, it doesn't matter who their father is. If Laenor said they were his, they're his. Viserys accepted this. Saying anything else is treason.
Their birthright comes from their mother anyway. You know, their Targaryen mother?
So Alysanne, Alyssa, Baelor Breakspear, Valarr, Daeron, Duncan, Aegor, Elaena, Bloodraven, Shiera, Rhaenys, Jacaerys, Joffrey, and Lucerys are not Valyrian? Because they’re also missing, in some form, Valyrian features? Right? Yeah?
"Dragons are spiritually and telepathically bonded with their riders."
Daemon trying to hide what he feels seeing Rhaenyra, but Caraxes was like: OMG SYRAX 😍
#HouseoftheDragon
#HOTD
In the book they literally found him with young girls. He’s not only a rapist in the books, but a pedophile!
If you’re going to stan a villain, please embrace their actions. Stop trying to baby, uwu-ify them. Let them be evil, lmao.
People saying its the same as Cersei putting Joff on the throne are dumb. Joff wasn't of royal blood at all. She was attempting to usurp the throne by putting only her blood on it.
RHAENYRA is the one with the claim here. Any of her kids have royal blood. Cersei's don't.
Aerea was never bonded to Balerion, Silverwing didn’t fly Alysanne over the wall because it’s the magic of the first men, and Daenerys couldn’t control Drogon because he was a bratty teen and nobody had taught her how to (he listened to her after their flight).
🧵This specific situation (dragon acting of its own accord and disobeying its rider) is reported in at least 3 cases, both in Fire & Blood and ASOIAF:
Princess Aerea Targaryen and Balerion;
Queen Alysanne Targaryen and Silvering;
Daenerys Targaryen and Drogon. 🧵
“A son for a son, Lucerys shall be avenged.” And you think he’s a bad father??? Y’all don’t even understand the characters you’re writing. That’s EMBARRASSING.

#HouseOfTheDragon
producer is baffled on why Daemon receives such high praise
“I’m a little baffled how they’re all, ‘Oh, daddy!’ And I’m just like: ‘Really?’ How — in what way — was he a good partner, father or brother – to anybody?”
FOR THE BILLIONTH TIME; I DO NOT MEAN IN THE BOOK FIRE AND BLOOD. I MEAN IN THE FIRST ORIGINAL DRAFT GRRM HAD FOR THE DANCE. RHAENYRA MARRIED A STRONG. PLEASE. 😭😭😭
@legaldyedblonde
I would put Alyssa on that list too! And probably Baela. They both spent a lot of time flying. I think it's interesting that it was predominantly the female Targaryens that appeared to have a closer bond with their dragons like that!
In light of recent events, Ned Fulmer is no longer working with the Try Guys.
Ned has been replaced by rouge prince, absolute menace to society, and Rhaenrya’s lover, Daemon Targaryen.
To be clear, he does praise the acting (as he should!), but he doesn't make much mention of the writing,, which is interesting compared to how he praised the living hell out of the Shogun show's writing.
Also this tweet left it's intended audience. Again,,, lol.
'Game of Thrones' showrunner David Benioff says they almost had the Hound or Brienne kill the Night King — but not Jon Snow
"We didn't want it to be Jon because he's always saving the day"
I always found this weird. Even if they’re not counting her as the Queen of Westeros (she was), she’s the Queen of Meereen??? And has been for several seasons???
It makes me mad that Emilia Clarke wasn't allowed to portray the softer side of Daenerys that's shown in the books. It just gives birth to the idea that the writers didn't want us to see her as the kind soul she is, and instead she has to fulfil the role of insane female ruler.
