how do you feel about corlys velaryon?

I thought he was really cool all the way up until episode seven.

"History doesn't remember blood. It remembers names."

Please, give me a break.

As if he couldn't just listen to his wife, and let Baela inherit Driftmark and take the VELARYON name ffs.

And it's not like it isn't an option. He knew that Jacaerys was going to be named a Targaryen once he ascended the throne after Rhaenyra, so he very well could have just applied the same logic for Baela.

And IIRC, in a succession crisis, females can keep their maiden name to ensure their house doesn't face collapse if they are the sole heirs. So it's not so different in this situation.

the whole pick a side nonsense is weird to me because you know the team green actors are harassed because people cannot differentiate an actor from a character but you have a whole defend your council video when you know team green cannot talk about their feelings on the matter like team black did because the fanbase is insane

(and where are rhys and phia?)

I'm tired. I can't even walk calmly down the block from my house because there is my neighbor's creep who won't leave me alone. Today he told me that I was going to die

During the hour of the wolf he can oft be found standing by a window, gazing up at the stars, but when I presented him with Archmaester Lyman’s Kingdoms of the Sky, he showed no interest.

“Rhaenyra, my only child”

I will never understand why or how people are so touched and think that this line is so sweet…

Aemma

This old creep of a man, married a woman and forced her to have as many children as she could. She had Rhaenyra who was born healthy, but due to her not being born a boy, Viserys pushed Aemma to have 5 more babies.

One who died in the cradle, two stillbirths and two miscarriages.

He was so sure that he wanted a second child, a boy, that he was willing to sacrifice his wife for him. Yet they both died.

Alicent

He then went on to marry another young truly innocent girl. Don’t even think about coming at me with the whole false accusation “Alicent seduced him” because you sound like a predator making excuses to blame a child for an adults actions.

He forced her to have 4 more children, 3 of which were boys… yet he never cared nor paid attention to any of them whilst growing up. This left Alicent to raise her children single-handedly.

“Rhaenyra… my ONLY child”

These two woman, both victims of Viserys’ carelessness, had several children, and at the end of it all, only Rhaenyra, 1 out of 10 children, was labeled as his child.

This isn’t disrespectful to just Aegon, Aemond, Helaena and Daeron. It’s disrespectful to the 5 dead children he had with Aemma, Aemma herself, and Alicent.

Don’t have more than one child if your not capable of loving more than one. Even better: don’t force two woman to carry your children if your only going to love one…

I had planned to post this edit once I got to the driftmark part or after Laenor's death but I feel like I'm too inactive so I'll upload it now

She hates Daemon because he never stops getting into her head but she doesn't know that she has the same power in him.

i need to talk about laenor for a minute

"he was happy!" "ha wanted to leave his family!"

mmmm are you sure?

because in ep 6 he wants to leave KL, yeah, but he def does not want to disappear. he wants to join his family in the stepstones. he's tired, he's done. he has "played his part". was he really that happy with his modern family in KL? because it sure didn't sound like it when rhaenyra has to command him to stay by her side because she needs him to keep covering up for her.

when rhaenyra and daemon had that convo in ep 6 when rhaenyra wanted to have laenor killed and daemon convinced her to give him a choice.

the choice was go away or we'll kill you.

they actually went to laenor on his sister's funeral, when his family needed him the most and made him leave. laenor wanted to leave KL to join his family in the stepstones. he never wanted his family to think he's dead, especially not when they've just lost laena.

and that plot makes 0 sense because if laenor ever comes back rhaenyra and daemon will be branded as liars and traitors & their children will be declared as illegitimate. not to mention, if rhaenys and corlys ever find out about what they did their alliance is over. like rhaenys will literally burn them. the fact that they knew how much corlys and rhaenys suffered and still chose not to tell them about laenor is so messed up.

“. . .mixing rage and distrust towards the one who banished her. . .wings darken at the tips, as if rotting before falling. . .a faithful angel before being cast out after rebelling against her Creator. Following this event, some began calling her The Queen of the North.”

[maidragoste]

Why do people want to change Rhaena's character and story direction completely in order to find her more 'interesting and relevant'????

And funny enough, she IS an interesting character in regards to her stance and choices during and after the war. That her heart remained somewhat untainted with hatred, that she cared for her brother regardless of his paranoia and disgust for dragons, that she apparently nurtured a relationship with Jaehaera before her tragic end, that she later played a mediative role by joining House Targaryen and House Hightower through a functioning marriage with Garmund.

She is also the Last Targaryen Dragon Rider. An impressive fete given how she grew up without the prestige of claiming or successfully hatching one for YEARS.

Give the Princess her due and stop wishing she was someone else. Helaena and Nettles will never be Rhaena and vice versa. Period!
