"Daena often dressed dramatically. As a child, she always wore black in emulation of her father."
Queen Alicent Hightower
Pregnant with her fourth and last child, Prince Daeron
âShe is overly fond of boys. More than boys, however, Lady Baela loved to fly. Since first riding her dragon Moondancer into the sky not half a year past, she had flown every day, ranging freely to every part of Dragonstone and even across the sea to Driftmark.â
Rhaenyra wasn't usurped because she was a woman, she was usurped because she was a stupid woman. If she had kept her leg closed and didn't have BASTARDS she wouldn't have been so opposed throughout the Realm
Saying she wasn't usurped because of misogyny while spewing misogyny is quite funny.
It was never abt her having bastards to begin with. It is and was always abt her being a woman and not having a sausage between her legs.
In the many many drafts of the dance, in one she married a lannister and had no children, but still got usurped. In an other, rhaenyra was married to a lyonel strong, and she still got usurped.
The problem is not her children, or whether she kept her legs close, but that she is a woman.
And let us say it was about bastards, do you really think Daemon would let them live? Let his sons that he has waited for years get passed down. Daemon did love Rhaenyra, but he had his own ambitions and motives. I don't think he would do it publicly simply because of his love for Rhaenyra. But a simple fall, accidental drowning, an assassin, it's all very possible.
It was abt the Hightowers and Alicent's ambitions.
Hope this helpsđ
Alas, the king was not of a forgiving mind. Urged on by his mother, the Queen Dowager Alicent, Aegon II was determined to exact vengeance upon those who had betrayed and deposed him. He started with the crownlands, sending forth his own men and the stormlanders of Borros Baratheon against Rosby, Stokeworth, and Duskendale and the surrounding keeps and villages. Though the lords thus accosted, through their stewards and castellans, were quick to lower Rhaenyraâs quartered banner and raise Aegonâs golden dragon in its stead, each in turn was brought in chains to Kingâs Landing and forced to do obeisance before the king. Nor were they freed until they had agreed to pay a heavy ransom, and provide the Crown with suitable hostages. This campaign proved a grave mistake, for it only served to harden the hearts of the late queenâs men against the king. Reports soon reached Kingâs Landing of warriors gathering in great numbers at Winterfell, Barrowton, and White Harbor. In the riverlands, the aged and bedridden Lord Grover Tully had finally died (of apoplexy from having his house fight against the rightful king at Second Tumbleton, Mushroom says), and his grandson Elmo, now at last the Lord of Riverrun, had called the lords of the Trident to war once more, lest he suffer the same fate as Lords Rosby, Stokeworth, and Darklyn. To him gathered Benjicot Blackwood of Raventree, already a seasoned warrior at three-and-ten; his fierce young aunt, Black Aly, with three hundred bows; Lady Sabitha Frey, the merciless and grasping Lady of the Twins; Lord Hugo Vance of Wayfarerâs Rest; Lord Jorah Mallister of Seagard; Lord Roland Darry of Darry; aye, and even Humfrey Bracken, Lord of Stone Hedge, whose house had hitherto supported King Aegonâs cause.

How badly do you need to piss off the Lords, for Brackens to defect and join the same side as Blackwoods of their own free will?
King Aegon IIâs dragon Sunfyre burns the kingâs half-sister and rival Queen Rhaenyra while her son Aegon (III) watches.
âRhaenyra Targaryen. She was daughter to one king and mother to two more, yet she died a traitorâs death for trying to usurp her brotherâs crown.â Stannis Baratheon
Someone requested Rhaenyraâs coronation. I created her end. Sorry, but her coronation will follow soonâŠ
â-The dragon doesnât become sick, Baela. Your motherâs illness has far happier a cause. Both you and your sister will know it after you are wed.
Baela looked at her uncle as if he was telling her a second pair of arms would sprout from her torso. Even Rhaena seemed to mislike his words and Aegon and Viserys were as confused as their sisters.â

Daemon will soon know not to mess with his children or they will steal away their mama XD
It's really funny to me how the OCs of 'anti-targ' fans are most likely ALWAYS Targs. Like they'll always have the purple shaded eyes, the silver/golden hair. The Targaryen name, it's most likely never Velaryons either, ALWAYS Targaryen. And of course, not to forget the DRAGONS. Most likely the Cannibal or Vermithor, because they're the biggest ones. You are literally admitting to them being the one of coolest house without admitting to it.
SHE'S SOOOOOOOOOOO PRETTY

âThat night, Septon Eustace reports, Ser Criston Cole slipped into the princessâs 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 fatherâs 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?â
And yet it was HER (a 16 year old girl) who 'seduced'(đ€ź) 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 âpoorâ Cristonâs 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.
not a bot, just a chilling lurker. Viserra and Rhaenyra and DaenerysÂł are baby girls who deserved better. âAnd here it is, our final night alive, As the earth burns to the ground.â
