We might be the most industrious fandom out in these streets. 11 total minutes of screen time stretched out for 18 months. Just wait until we have eight episodes.

Laena Velaryon
Years later, after Laena has married Daemon and mothered their twins, Laena tries to get Daemon to move back to Westeros. Their family lives in Pentos, and Laena still wears styles emulating her mother's first design, but now in more gold than teal. She still needs all the pearls and giant gemstones of course, an icon wherever she goes.
My friend and I have talked a few times about how the show has such interesting characters who are absolutely squashed by the time-skip pacing of the first season. Laena is this amazing Dragonrider, has three fantastic actresses portraying her...and the narrative kills her off so fast we've got whiplash. The narrative is so keen on squeezing 20 years of backstory into 10 episodes to set up S2 that Laena is killed off almost immediately (very violently and tragically by the way) so that Daemon and Rhaenyra can finally get married. I would say Harwin Strong suffers a similarly foot-note style death, because the love interests are disposable. The show skips years and years over and over again to catch the "plot" relevant details of only a handful of character's lives so the majority of the cast practically live off screen and die when the history books says it was time for the main characters to be single again. Sorry for the tangent, RIP Laena.

To the people who claim that Aemond is an “upgraded” version of Daemon, please remember that throughout history, Aemond is remembered for only two things:
1. That he murdered Lucerys Velaryon in cold blood and stupidly started the whole civil war (Aemond the Kinslayer)
2. That he had one eye (Aemond One-Eye).
In the meantime, Daemon is remembered for:
1. Having defeated the Crabfeeder and having won the war in the Stepstones;
2. Being the first Prince Consort to a ruling Queen;
3. Being the most feared man in the Realm at the time of the Dance of the Dragons;
4. Being the wielder of Dark Sister;
5. Being the best Lord Commander the City Watch ever had;
6. Being called ‘Prince of the City’ by the smallfolk who adored him;
7. Being the father of two Kings.
So, don’t insult the great Prince Daemon Targaryen by comparing him to that mindless, anger-driven wannabe.

Alicent isn't a kidnapped maiden locked in a tower guarded by dragons. She keeps herself in there, demands the (girl) dragons join her in there, and wages war against said dragons when they don't come into a tower where they don't even FIT.

Queen Rhaenys Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm.

(i used eva green as reference, i think shes great for younger Rhaenys)

Rhaenyra’s first wedding dress
Rhaenyra marries Laenor Velayron, after a convoluted tangle of romantic relationships and seething resentment. The bride and her groom sort of treat it as a laugh, having come to a congenial agreement, so the show picks a virgin-white gown (I know medieval wedding gowns weren't white this is about modern audience symbolism) almost to spite the dramatics that brought the pair to this point. I think that was rather fun so I kept the color scheme, added more Byzantine fashion references and a heavy jeweled necklace. (If I dislike something most about the show's choices for this wedding it's the hairstyle. No contest. I know it's probably supposed to be a precursor to Cersei's S1 hairstyles, but it just looks hilarious and unbalanced, like it's going to slide right off her head.) This is also the only time I've drawn Rhaenyra wearing an 'Alicent-style' crown at this half-joke wedding. Alicent's styles have gained some prominence in the years since she's become Queen and the Hightower block can push the Medieval-Westerosi options instead of Byzantine-Targaryen fashions.

I really enjoy the difference between Aemond the Kinslayer and Brynden Rivers (Bloodraven).
Both of them lost an eye at one point in their lives.
One became a crybaby and a psychopath, spending his entire life raging about the fact that he lost that eye (even though he had it coming). And as proof of his childish mentality, he added a sapphire in that eye’s place, thinking it would make him seem cool. Funnily enough, that missing eye also played a big part in his death. (Just goes to show that Targaryen and Hightower blood don’t mix well).
The other rose above that missing eye. Never tried to cover it up, let it scar and became a symbol of pride for him for his accomplishments in the Blackfyre Rebellions. Bloodraven became a respected Targaryen soldier, Hand of the King and Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch.
