The lineup of our beloved ASOIAF ttrpg campaign characters!⚔️
Our amazing GM @oneirotect has set us in 207 AC between the first and second Blackfyre Rebellions (around 90 years before Game of Thrones and 50 years after the death of the last known dragon). So far we've travelled across the Narrow Sea, partied in Braavos, escaped an assassination attempt by the Golden Company, made some difficult political decisions and started romantic entanglements with likely very dire consequences.

Upon seeing this poll & voting, reblogs are sincerely appreciated. Let as many people as you possible see this poll.
The 5 year anniversary of one of the BIGGEST tragedies in entertainment history deserves more recognition this time around.
Lastly, go in detail in reblogs as to why you voted for a certain character.
(This is the last time I ever do a poll on this subject.)

i think alicents reaction to rhaenys disrupting the coronation is soooooo indicative of her relationships with each of her kids bc like. she tells criston to defend helaena, who she thinks of as the most fragile and in need of protection (ahem she sees her younger self in helaena ahem), but doesn’t do it herself, bc i think there is a fundamental distance between them, since alicent loves her daughter but doesn’t understand her. aemond doesn’t get a mention, because he has always been the child she sees the most as an adult, her equal she believes on some level can take care of himself. and aegon. she stands in front of aegon. which is suchhhhh a significant thing because. it will not do anything. alicents body won’t protect aegon if meleys decides to burn them, it will just kill them both. alicents life is aegons life, she was married to viserys for him, she became queen for him, everything she did from when she was a teenager was for him. and how beautiful and tragic and horrible that she just decides in this moment that if aegon dies she will die too.

You know what's funny?
Rhaenyra wanted the throne more than anything but she didn't do anything to have it.
Aegon didn't wanted the throne but he fought until his last breath for it.

Alternate Universe - Jaehaera lives.
Both of them were ruined. But to be the only ruined thing in a room full of people who are whole, is awfully lonely. There was safety in being ruined together, an understanding that neither had to struggle to be whole again. They could sit together in comfortable silence and do nothing at all.

There is a constant idea flowing about that the Greens are entitled to take the throne in order to protect themselves.
First of all, they didn’t take the throne to protect themselves. They did it because they wanted power (Otto and Alicent Hightower, at least).
Secondly: What about the Blacks? Aren’t they entitled to the same thing?
Had the Greens taken the throne without any protest from the Blacks, do you imagine that they would have all lived in peace, happily ever after?
No. Rhaenyra’s family would have been assassinated one way or another.
1. Rhaenyra is the chosen heir, and direct kin to the Arryns, who also have a woman at the helm (Jeyne Arryn), not to mention that she has lords who had sworn fealty to her. She has more than any princess before her ever did. It’s hard to imagine the Greens sleeping soundly knowing all the support that Rhaenyra could receive should she decide to change her mind one day.
2. Her husband, Daemon, is the most feared man in the Realm, with a special kind of hatred for Hightowers, who holds plenty of influence with the smallfolk, basically controls the City Watch, wields Dark Sister, is a seasoned warrior and possesses a unique dragon, Caraxes. He would be the first of the Blacks the Greens would target. Daemon is the protector. He’s Rhaenyra’s shield. Without him, everyone else in the family would be vulnerable.
3. Their sons, Aegon and Viserys, would always pose a threat to the usurper, because of their pure Targaryen lineage. There would very well be lords arguing that Aegon the Younger is the rightful heir to the throne.
4. The Velaryons, as the greatest power in the Realm, commanding the largest fleets, would always remain closely tied to Daemon and Rhaenyra through the marriages between Jacaerys and Baela as well as Lucerys and Rhaena.
Either Jacaerys or Lucerys would have become the next Lord of Driftmark, which would certainly complicate matters. And with the constant rumors about the parentage of Jacaerys, Lucerys and Joffrey, they would have been in most danger of losing their lives without any consequences following.
Rhaenyra has just as much right to protect her family.
Regardless of what you all imagine in your fanfics, the Blacks and the Greens would have never been able to live in peace. There is too much discord and hatred between the two factions. It’s either one or the other.
And at the end of the Dance, only one family was left standing: the Blacks.

“It was a hair net of fine-spun silver, the strands so thin and delicate the net seemed to weigh no more than a breath of air when Sansa took it in her fingers. Small gems were set wherever two strands crossed,”
- Sansa VIII, A Clash of Kings
