My Valyrian OC!

The Realm's Delight on her merry way to make a statement

-My love, our daughter steals the attention of all the men here. Although I would have chosen another gown for the occasion. Black is a colour best suited for widows, princess. - she said, turning directly to Rhaenyra. - I think our daughter would have looked far better in a lighter tone. Perhaps pink, or even a lavender coloured dress. Don’t you agree, Viserys?

-I think my beautiful girl would look good in any colour.

Rhaenyra suppressed the urge to speak her mind to the queen, at least fully.-Black and red are the colours of a Targaryen, your grace. - she says. - There is no surprise to be had at my choice.

SHE'S SOOOOOOOOOOO PRETTY

“That night, Septon Eustace reports, Ser Criston Cole slipped into the princess’s bedchamber to confess his love for her. He told Rhaenyra that he had a ship waiting on the bay and begged her to flee with him across the narrow sea. They would be wed in Pentos or Tyrosh or Old Volantis, where her father’s writ did not run, and no one would care that he had betrayed his vows as a member of the Kingsguard. His prowess with sword and morningstar was such that he did not doubt he could find some merchant prince to take him into service. But Rhaenyra refused him. She was the blood of the dragon, she reminded him, and meant for more than to live out her life as the wife of a common sellsword. And if he could set aside his Kingsguard vows, why would marriage vows mean any more to him?”

And yet it was HER (a 16 year old girl) who 'seduced'(🤮) HIM(a 31 year old man)??

This is a man who has watched this child of SEVEN grow up into a 'women'. He has seen her grief and mourn her late mother. Seen her get mocked by her 'stepmother'. Seen her get challenged every waking moment.

And yet there are defending “poor” Criston’s honor and person, calling Rhaenyra is a wh*re because she seduced a grown man?.

Not once does Rhaenyra mention him after what happened, NOT ONCE. Criston on the other hand calls her a wh*re every chance he gets, sided against her, cause HAVOK during her wedding, convinced her half brother to take the throne just so wouldn't be queen. Full on died just so she wouldn't be queen

Rhaenyra never thought of him, and he spent the rest of his life abominating her.

That sounds exactly like a man who would throw acid on a woman because he was rejected by her.

Her smile made him smile.

She looked so beautiful…

Then of course, his eyes landed on the small bundle on Rhaenyra’s arms.

Anyway let me post this insanity here I've rarely been so proud - inspired by Avatar the Last Airbender (Princess Yue, Fire Lord Ozai & Avatar Kyoshi all melted together) cause it's become relevant lately & I love that lil cartoon 😙🤍💚🩵❤️

"she has grieved for a brother and a husband and a son..."

It's a redraw of this old Daenerys art (one of my very first 😊)

The last recorded portrait of Queen Alicent Hightower

“She does not even have enough shame to wear black.” Rhaenyra thought.

Instead, the queen wore dark green velvet with long sleeves, richly decorated with golden thread and cloth of gold. Her dark hair was pulled up in the style of the capital, and jewels glowed on her ears, neck, and hands. She smiled as she saw Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra gave her no more than an empty stare.

"King Aegon III Targaryen wed Lady Daenaera on the last day of the 133rd year since Aegon’s Conquest."

Aegon III/Daenaera named his son after Daenaera Velaryon's Daeron Velaryon. And the future Targaryens named Daeron's were named after KING Daeron I, not after some prince.

And before anyone opens their mouth, Daeron I is everyone’s namesake he existed in the story first, GRRM came up with Daeron I first.

(also the first pic isn't even Daeron🤦‍♀️)
