Delusional minds: “Aegon killed Rhaenyra, so the Greens won the Dance.”
The opera is not over until the fat lady sings.
The Black armies completely obliterated the Green armies in the final battle of the Dance: The Battle of the Kingsroad.
How can one claim that Rhaenyra’s death signified the end of the Dance when other battles followed?
Armies win wars, just fyi.
And after the Queen’s death, the Blacks rallied behind Rhaenyra’s son, Aegon, the true king.
The Battle of the Kingsroad left the Greens without an army and so the war was finished. The Lads, Lord Cregan Stark and Lady Jeyne Arryn were all marching to King’s Landing to depose the false king and crown Rhaenyra’s son.
Victory belongs to the Blacks (as confirmed by GRRM himself).

B&C and Helaena discourse is on a rise and yall know that's my roman empire so i WILL be giving my two cents (for the thousandth time😼)
First off, B&C
I see a lot of people claiming B&C was the Greens fault, but when you take a second to think you will see that nothing the Greens did as a whole caused B&C. It simply would not have happened if Aemond (1 singular green) had not killed Lucerys for taking his eye. (i believe this excuse comes more from a "well you reap what you sow this is what you get for usurping rhaenyra" mindset rather than thinking ALL the greens are directly to blame for B&C but whatevs) People argue it was Aegon's fault, too, because he celebrated Luke's death with a feast, but that's actually a headcanon. F&B states Aegon celebrated Luke's death, but it skips over any offense it caused Rhaenyra and Daemon. It only says that after learning of Luke's DEATH (not the feast) Daemon sends a letter telling Rhaenyra Luke would be avenged. It was not the feast it was the boy's death that led to B&C.
People also have been saying B&C was necessary and it simply wasn't. Jaehaerys was entirely unrelated to any issue regarding Luke, therefore it wasn't even really avenging him. Luke wasn't actually avenged until Aemond (his killer) died. B&C was not necessary to avenge Luke—it was more of an intimidation tactic on Daemon's behalf.
As for Helaena, people are saying she should've taken her kids, flown to Dragonstone, and bent the knee as per Rhaenyra's peace terms.
That's kind of just dumb lol. Rhaenyra's terms were not individual, she wanted ALL of her siblings to go to her and bend the knee, not just one. If Helaena went to Dragonstone by herself, Aegon would still be Rhaenyra's enemy. Helaena and her children, Aegon's heirs, would become high profile hostages.
Also, Helaena is the queen of the Green Faction. She was crowned by Alicent alongside Aegon. Nothing in F&B implies she's NOT in support of Aegon. If anything, she's passive. She councils him against his stupidity, but that doesn't mean she's a secret supporter of Rhaenyra.
The Greens also happen to be her closest family. Her mom and brothers—people she grew up with. If I remember correctly, she used to visit Alicent in the Tower of the Hand with her children every night. She and Aegon shared a bed until her son was killed. She was described as a happy girl, and if she was miserable, she still clearly held love for her family.
Rhaenyra, however, is a stranger to her. Not just a stranger, but also someone that would mock her mother and her siblings at court.
She had no reason to go to Rhaenyra when the war began.
People are also quite weird about the topic of her suicide, but seeing as suicide is a real issue in a way that usurping, sending assassins after a child, and feeding a boy to a dragon are NOT I won't address that. You are weird if you be laughing about suicide tho ngl.
FINAL PSA: A lot of yall like to go "I love Helaena, she so sweet and gentle and innocent and kind and cute and she's the only green I love BUT..." Yall dont like Helaena and yall CAN admit it. She's a fictional character you dont have to pretend to like her just because you have a moral superiority complex.

About a year and a half ago, I designed a Hadesgame outfit for my oc Ruby, and it's about time to update! I'm still working on the upper half of her dress, but I'm so much happier with the pose and silhouette.
I also have to design her daughter Jana, who'd be a nymph of some sort and the light of Ruby's life. Nothing will make her stop working, but she'd come close for Jana.

Kinda wild to use female plight of being raped through history for your agenda against rhaenyra while keeping an actual serial rapist from the same show as your icon. that even in his book canon he’s caught with a little girl pleasuring him while he watches his bastards or whoever in the children fighting pits to compound his depravity. I don’t like rhaenyra either but be consistent
Kinda wild to use the testimony of a known liar, jester and unreliable witness such as Mushroom to attack Aegon, when Mushroom also claimed that Daemon had Rhaenyra pleasure him when she was 8, a little girl. He also claimed to have advances with Rhaenyra himself. So if you use Mushroom’s testimony, bring up his whole story, be consistent :)

Gaz: The only acceptable icing is buttercream. Whipped icing is a coward's choice and fondant people are demons and are going to meet me in the street for their poor life choices that led them to accept Play-Doh as acceptable cake decoration
Ghost: Turn on your location, I just wanna talk
Gaz: Hope you understand sign language then cause all you're gonna see are these hands
Soap, watching this happen in the group chat with a dead expression: Wow, shit's getting real in the cake fandom

I need more people to listen to gallifrey so here’s my propaganda:
- Narvin (trust me on this one)
- Has some of the best companions as main characters (leela, romana, k-9 (x2)) (this, of course, the objectively correct opinion on which classic who companions are best)
- Brax, aka the doctors brother, aka an insight into the fact that no one in the doctors family is normal
- Time lord politics
- Fun theme music (that gets better the farther in you get)
- Whatever is going on between leela and narvin (it takes a while, but once again, trust me on this one)

How am I not supposed to stan the Hightower kids? Like...Helaena rides Dreamfyre, the mother of dragons. Aemond rides Vhagar, the currently oldest dragon- she's been around since the conquest. Aegon has Sunfyre, the most beautiful dragon in all of Targaryen history. Daeron has Tessarion, "The Blue Queen" Who's my personal second favorite next to Dreamfyre (I love blue). Like they're the coolest dragon rider siblings argue with my giant balls.
