“as aemond one-eye looked up in terror, fumbling with the chains that bound him to his saddle, daemon ripped off his nephew’s helm and drove the sword down into his blind eye, so hard the point came out the back of the young prince’s throat.”
rhaenyra sleeping with daemon only a little bit after joffrey was born, getting on syrax hours after a difficult labor…. They don’t know how bodies work
@rhaegarlya
i agree i thought their relationship would be very ooc but i can see at least a little bit of respect or enjoyment between the boys. at least until alicent started… you know.
aegon being a rapist is not something that house of the dragon wrote in for “black propaganda.” he’s written in fire and blood to have been “pinching and fondling any serving girl who strayed within his reach.”
by eustace, who preferred aegon ii.
think lots of rhaenyra antis use “the throne rejected her” as a gotcha because they’re mad aegon never actually sat the throne since he was half dead the entire war
not sure why hotd is being branded as something super feminist and is reversing “the misogyny in fire and blood” considering the reversing in question is making all women emotionless victims of the men around them with no personalities or ambitions
tell my why aegon, who gladly participated in the usurpation of his sister (because she was a woman), would seat his daughter? he obviously was of the belief that women couldn’t inherit. and so was his mother, and all his supporters
well there is also like,, a war breaking out. like that’s definitely also very much happening. and these two families are distinctly the two sides of the war. you remember that right ??
daenerys is our hope. tell them that, at the citadel. make them listen…for all these years i've lingered, waiting, watching, and now that the day has dawned i am too old. i am dying, sam.
The book covers seven generations of Targaryens and eight Targaryen rulers, I guess I’m just confused about why George’s work is being reduced to a show that has disregarded and disrespected him time and time again?
whoever made the decision to have joffrey be born later has doomed everyone to hell because now we’re gonna have to watch a little baby die gruesomely 😭
No one cared about the Hightowers before House of the Dragon. The only reason they’re talked about by the asoiaf fandom is because they’re two steps away from being decimated by Euron. Hard to come to terms with I am sure but it’s better to not live in delusion
the most human thing about daenerys, to me, is her constant internal battle regarding viserys. grrm is able to skillfully and accurately depict domestic violence and the confusion it leaves in its wake.
still angry about aemma’s death. it was such a useless change. the root of it was the same, she was always going to die birthing baelon. but they had no reason to make her the victim of a nonconsensual c-section forced onto her by her husband
weird to me how people on here ignore blatant transphobia and an obvious preference to nongnc people and see it as “olivia cooke hate” or “fabien hate” or whoever else. it’s literally just people specifically NB people pointing out the obvious cis bias among who is promoted
i certainly do look at aegon iii and call that a victory. because his reign even occurring is proof that the blacks won. the fact that the line continues through viserys ii is proof that they won.
“but the blacks won!” yeah and..? look at aegon iii and call that a victory lol like ur all missing the point so bad about how there was no winner, they all lost
drogon looks like they had a real dragon just hanging out on set and caraxes looks like if they photoshopped concept art from a video game into a live action tv show
