Gotta love how Laena, the only prominent WoC in the story so far, has been completely sidelined and presented as nothing but second choice for Daemon when in the book they had by all accounts a happy loving marriage in favor of making Daemyra look better

Hey! A Daemon/Nettles and Shuri/Namur shipper!Another brave soldier!😍 Seriously it hasn’t even been a month since the movie came out and there’s already discourse over S/N. And don’t get me started on D/N and N haters oh boy. You know it’s really annoying me how no one would thought it was horrible that D/R hooked up at Laena’s funeral or that he made Laena feel second best or that he groomed her but when it’s about a black female character getting with their fav they see her as a threat and get suddenly all self righteous like “D can’t get with N it will ruin his character! Think about R!” We don’t know when their relationship started if they were indeed romantic or how either D or N felt about being together behind R’s back all we have are accounts that indicate they were very affectionate with each other and D was ready to die for her. The same D they claim dies for R and their family even though he would have most probably died protecting her.
Tumblr media
Daemon x Nettles and Namor x Shuri are some of my favorite ships at the moment. I did not expect to see the level of hate surrounding Shuri and Namor on this website considering this is supposed to be a fandom space, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
They are enemies to lovers so I’m here for it and I hope the MCU expands upon their relationship and ditches the potential Namor and Sue Storm mess🤞🏽
Daemon and Rhaenyra hooking up almost immediately after Laena’s death is sadly book cannon. However, how he treated her in their marriage on the show was not.
People seem to absolutely love Rhaenyra though so anything that does not put her first they hate. They believe that she is somehow “the love of Daemon’s life”(do not get me started on this, I literally want to throw up when I here this).
Never mind the fact that Daemon was “cheating”(they basically had an open marriage so I’m using cheating loosely) on her left and right. Rhaenyra was actually okay with his outside affairs until he caught feelings.
I believe that Daemon and Nettles relationship is the romantic kind. He was willing to risk a lot for her. I’d say his relationship with her changed him for the better. She’s really the final chapter of his life.
The racial element of the hate is not lost to me either. Honestly I just want to see them do the story justice. I’ve seen people suggesting they take out altogether Nettles and replace her with Rhaena which would not work for several obvious reasons.
Nettles is a bada** character in her own right so not including her in the show would be a crime against humanity. Plus I want to see her and Daemons relationship/love play out on the small screen. Honestly I don’t think I can continue to watch HOTD unless they bring my girl in and give her the arc she deserves 🤷🏽‍♀️
