"Not even the tears of a dragon could melt the frozen heart of Cregan Stark...but when Lady Baela brandished a sword & declared that she would cut off the hand of any man who sought to harm the men who had saved her, the Wolf of Winterfell smiled for all to see."
Cregan x Baela๐ฅฐ
Aegon has no claim to the throne beyond being a man. He was younger and he wasn't the king's chosen.
Rhaenys and Rhaenyra are both older and closer to the succession line and only get opposed because of their gender.
Greens are usuper misogynists.
i just think abt how aegon and rhaenys inheritance matters are very similar to each other. both were (or was tried to) skipped from the inheritance that belonged to them by law, all in favour of whoever the king wanted to put as his heir. viserys for rhaenys, rhaenyra for aegon.
In the book, it's Alicent who sullied Rhaenyra's name at court and spread rumors about her (a then-10-year-old child) and Criston Cole.
These showrunners are stupid.
Here's what Rhaenyra said to Daemon in High Valyrian in
#HouseOfTheDragon
S2 E4
"Itโs been said that Targaryens are closer to gods than to men. In my eyes, you were a god. Daemon Targaryen. The Prince of the City. The Lord of Flea Bottom.
I was an innocent. You exploited
"You will d!e screaming in flames just as your father did" Aemond
"My father is still alive!" Lucerys
Days later, Rhaenys & Corlys find the body of "Laenor" burnt in flames.
It looks like the Greens assassinated Laenor, as payback esp after Alicent's showdown.
Alicent: abused Rhaenyra for 10 years, spread gossip about her children, stole her throne, tried maiming her child, cut hee hand open with Valyrian steel, humiliated her in council, etc
Rhaenyra: didn't tell her she kissed her uncle
@sweetieveen
clearly they arenโt friends still???๐ but the fact that they once where adds depth to the hatred and other feelings between them, obviously. not to mention that rhaenyra hurt alicent plenty of times too๐ theyโve both done horrible things to each other.
Aemond's abuser and bully was always his vile brother, not Lucerys or Jace.
By the way, can't forget Alicent told Aegon he can hurt Aemond as long as he keeps it hidden.
For real. The time wasted on this leech should have gone to adapting all the important events and characterization Condal cut. Jace's travels, proper introduction for Cregan, Jeyne and the Manderlys, Baela and Rhaena getting more to do, etc.
We were robbed
You know what's tragic? That boring dumb bitch Gwayne Whoretower who was mentioned all bit 3 times in Fire and Blood got more lines and screen time than Baela and Rhaena.
Ryan Condal and Sara Hess will never succeed.
14-year-old Jace was translating ancient High Valyrian text and working hard to perfect while your 22-year-old Rapegon can't even speak or understand High Valyrian in every day conversation.
Alicent has been entirely useless since episode 9. Like take her out of the show and nothing about the plot changes. But the pacing improves drastically too. She's a waste of time.
Great take that sums up all the reasons why I was supporting the greens from the start And a great reminder how almost all those things haven't been mentioned since ep 7 ....
Don't let this distract you from the fact Ryan Condal and Sara Hess erased two queer women (Sabitha Frey and Black Aly) while erasing a queer relationship (Laena and Rhaenyra).

Episode 4 of
#HouseOfTheDragon
, believed to be titled "A Dance of Dragons," is one of the best episodes of television I've seen in a long time. If you've been considering watching this season, this is the week to get caught up so you don't risk getting spoilers. Absolutely epic.
Her male supporters are undermined or erased too:
Robert Quince (deleted)
Maester Gerardys (just a cameo when he did much more)
Lorent Marbrand (just a camep when he was so loyal to Rhaenyra, she wept for him)
Manderlys (deleted)
Condal & Hess want Rhaenyra to seem helpless
Rhaenyra female friends/supporters:
Laena: Her bond with Rhaenyra erased & was replaced by Alicent.
Harwin's sisters: Both were erased.
Elinda Massey: reduced to just a servant in the show.
Rhaenys: beefing with Rhaenyra since the beginning in the show.
Jeyne: beefing with Nyra
"But your devotion has not gone unnoticed. These are dangerous times. The day will doubtless come when I require such a friend. With not only skill but discretion as well."
Alicent to Larys the next episode. She not only didn't punish Larys but rewarded him for his crime.
You just like cheap drama and stupid characters. Jeyne fights for Rhaenyra as a fellow female ruler AND her cousin. And she wouldn't pick a fight with RHAENA of all people as her host. Condal and Hess have butchered Jeyne.
Also Tyraxes can burn Eyrie easily lmao.
FINALLY someone on team black that isn't just kissing the ground rhaenyra walks on. rhaenyra sent a gaggle of kids and two EGGS for her to take care of. jeyne is right to ask ask rhaena to show some respect
Rhaenyra: *keeps secrets from Jace, treats him unfairly after all he's done for her and supporting her, ignores him in front of a stranger*
Also Rhaenyra: but why does my son doubt me?โน
jace:
-bastard
-only skill is mewing
-arranged marriage
-ugly dragon
daeron:
-trueborn
-a sword fighter and plays the lute
-has +100 girls without trying
-pretty dragon
Dyana was Aegon's victim, she was r
@ped
by him.
You don't like that reminder, do you? Because she's a reminder that Aegon is a worthless monster.
Aegon stans are creepy.
@Marebarrow1929
I surely hope their mourning is interrupted by random cuts to Team Black doing whatever. Rhaenys cleaning her armor, Baela and Jace drinking wine, Rhaena reading a book, Rhaenyra hugging her babies, etc.
Team Black has always been the main characters of Dance. It's Rhaenyra and Daemon story, Baela and Jace get more attention and action than other kids, it's Lucerys's death that sets the war in emotion and more.
Greens are nothing more than the villains of Team Black story.
@rhnyratargaryen
@nenesayso
Corlys has a lot of nerve to say that to her when Baela wants to be queen of seven kingdoms.
Corlys acknowledge Rhaena challenge.
These are all Jace's story Condal the Hacl deleted btw. But I know Green stans don't like reading books.๐คญ
The text directly calls Jace worthy of Iron Throne. Your worthless faves could never.
i constantly think about daniel being genuinely happy when he said โyou were supposed to die with claudia! ๐ he didn't save you! ๐ lestat did! ๐โ SICK MAN
@cocochxnel07
She was complaining about Strongs at all turns even after Lyonel had quit. Larys heard it, she confided to him.
Larys improvised just like Blood and Cheese did. Daemon and Alicent are responsible in the same way.
Alicent never showed she's sorry for any of this. Monster.
@firexpriestess
@MVVNDVNCER
Can we acknowledge how they downplay the loyal men of her life too? Robert Quince? Deleted. Gerardys? Diminished. Manderlys? Deleted. Forrest Frey? Went from an unconditional follower to an opportunist. Lorant? Just a cameo
Meanwhile Alfred Broome? Promoted to councilman
@bug_olay87
That's what I'm saying. They made a big change and they should have used it. It makes no sense someone as ruthless and allegedly smart as Daemon didn't take advantage.
@ladymultifandom
Yeah but my problem is they can't even stay true to their own storyline. Even ignoring the book entirely, the inconsistency and poor choices are crystal clear. Just...bad.
Jace won half of his mother's allies and everyone wanted to betroth their daughters to Joffrey.
Jace is called a worthy heir to Iron Throne in text. He's easily better than all Alicent's sons.
the way the entire fandom casually forgets that Jace and Lucerys are bastards is so ๐ญ they would never rule in peace a day in their lives every army would be at their door
@themadmaid
@zawa717
She comforted him more than Alicent comforted her grieving daughter. You're just too used to the shallow caricatures that are Greens.
Ryan Condal out here admitting he doesn't understand the significance of Cregan and Jace's bond and only added Winterfell for fan-service. While butchering and removing all the emotion and drama and the bond Jace and Cregan form.
What an absolute hack.
