To The Person In My Asks Bombarding It With Absolutely Vile Things Because I Made A Comment In Someone

happy to know that I'm not the only one who thinks HOTD is mediocre, why make an adaptation if it would change absolutely everything in the book? alicent and rhaenyra are not the characters we have in the book and anyone who thinks this is good is a little dumb

It's far from mediocre actually. Alisaint and Renada and every single characters in that fanfic shitshow are whole new characters with the same name with personalities from other characters. And somehow it's seen as 'better'. I don't understand what abt badly written and half completed characters are so much better. Don't get me started on the age and timelines.

friendly reminder that the phrase ‘a queen for a queen’ does not, in fact, exist in fire and blood canon. it’s a saying made up by aegon meatriders in order to take away from and further ridicule rhaenyra’s death.

she was not murdered so that aegon could avenge helaena (whom he only *maybe* gave a shit about). it was a case of femicide. rhaenyra is usurped because she is a woman, rhaenyra is killed because she is a woman, rhaenyra’s entire LEGACY is rooted in her womanhood and what it ultimately ends up costing her.

her breast was cut as one final “fuck you,” by the narrative, “this would never have happened had you only been born a man.” aegon has her burnt and fed to an unwilling and dying dragon. her violent death is supposed to encompass all the woeful tragedy that it is to be a woman in that society. there is no universe where she escaped this fate. she was doomed from the start.

To the wonderful fanfic shitshow fan who said me (and other blacks fans) are trying to make Rhaenyra the second Helaena, here is a little reddit post from a greenie like you.🙂

'that deserves better' whatever that means.

If I see one more person using the 'mother of dragons' for alicent 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. What makes the mother of dragons, giving birth to targs? Everyone and anyone is a mother of dragons then.

Mother of the realm, what is that similar with hmm🤔? Oh yes, the realm's delight. How exactly is she the mother of the realm? Don't really know.

Not one inch in his body is he anything like Aegon I. Lol.

'Aegon the unbroken' and what is that similar to, Aegon the broken (Aegon III, R+D). Every part of this man was broken, burned and destroyed, mind you.

'the king who prevailed'. What exactly did he prevail, no one actually knows.😮

She is princess Diana, ofc.😍😍

She was a kind queen. 🤷‍♀️.

'Pride of the realm'. What exactly is something abt her to be so proud of?. Again, similar to 'the realm's delight'

'Beacon of hope'. man's favourite pass time destroying people's hope and burning everything down.

Targaryen women and their colors that just make sense?

Alysanne : Azure Blue

Alyssa : Brown/Cream/Deep Crimson

Daella : Baby blue

Viserra : Purple

Aemma : Blue/White

Rhaenyra : Purple/Black/Red/Blue

Rhaena (DL) : Pink

Daenaera : Turquoise

Daena : White?

Rhaena (AD) : Cream/Pale yellow/Off-white

Elaena : Black

Naerys : Lavender/Lilac/Pale blue

Shiera : Emerald green/Sapphire blue & Silver Ofc

Rhaella : Red:(

Not TG fans thinking Alyssa Targaryen would support Aegon??? Because ‘she is a boy mom’????? And who do you think are the boys she's mom to are? Rhaenyra's two big supporters. Alyssa had two living sons Daemon and Viserys, those two loved Rhaenyra to no end. Alyssa for a fact would stand with her sons before anyone else.

Baelon as well, Rhaenyra was his only living grandchild, who came after miscarriages and stillbirths. And a girl too, this man is said to have wanted a daughter. He was a mama's boy, always by his mother's side till her death. Loved this dead wife for years, till his last breath. Loved her more than life itself.

Quick sketch of Baelon and Alyssa about to make Daemon lmao

I genuinely do not understand how people think Rhaenyra wasn't usurped because she was a woman.

What quality does Aegon have that Rhaenyra doesn't aside from being a son?

Rhaenyra is older, and therefore more experienced. Has been the Princess of Dragonstone since she was EIGHT. Took hold and started ruling since SIXTEEN. She knows more about governing than the rest of her four half siblings combined. She has been her father, the King's cupbearer since before being named heir. Has followed her father almost everywhere since he became king. Attended meeting and counsels and all of the things relating to governorship.

Aegon had a princely tutorship, but what else? This man spent his adult(and teen) life in the streets of silk. Aside from his basic education as a prince, what else does he know? Viserys wasn't going to bother, since Aegon isn't even the second in line to the throne, it is Jace, has been since Aegon was 7. Otto wasn't even present till Aegon was atleast 13. Alicent wasn't an active ruler or decision maker like Alysanne was, so obviously not her either.

It wasn't for the lack of supporters either. Out of the six great houses of Westeros, Stark, Arryn, Tully, Lannister, Baratheon, Tyrell, THREE supported her. TWO supported Aegon. ONE, the Tyrells remained neutral, simply because most of their bannermen supported the greens. She was more loved and known throughout the realm.

Alicent is a political mastermind whether you like her or not. Her keeping the peace after visits died is why Rhaenyra lived as long as she did

Lol, which part of her character screams political mastermind to you? The part where she was having petty grudges against a pre-teen? Or the part where she spread unnecessary rumours abt the said 12/13 year old? Or the part where she publicly hated the same child? Or the last where she wanted a 5 year old's eye to be put out? Or the part where her 19 and 15 year old sons remained unwed, instead of creating an allegiance?

She is smart and cunning and ambitious but not in the most political way.

Her marriage was the utmost political move on her part. Through this marriage, she became queen, one of the most powerful titles, had four princelings and three to follow after them.

I do think the Rhaenyra & Alicent mostly animosity mostly began after Otto was sent away(109)/Aemond was born(110), which would put Alicent(21/22) displaying public dislike towards Rhaenyra(12/13). Everyone and their mothers in the court knew abt their 'animosity' towards each other even before the tourney of 111 AC, blacks and greens were formed. Alicent was 23 and Rhaenyra was 14.

“Ser Criston protects the princess from her enemies, but who protects the princess from Ser Criston?” Queen Alicent asked one day at court. Such a political movie on Alicent's part🤦‍♀️

Taking in Lord Commander of the Kingsgaurd Criston, was a power gaining move on her past however. But then again, a man she alleged of being a pedo when she had a silver haired daughter herself. So, again, who knows.

Aegon and Helaena marriage was arranged by Viserys, so it would calm down Aegon a bit (from whoring and drinking). She as a mother did not stop Aegon from whoring or excessive drinking, even though she wanted him to be king. She did not prepare him to rule or have someone do it, just let him sire bastards and destroy his reputation. Just because he was a son, he was the better choice, even with nothing to back it.

Queen Alicent demanded that one of Lucerys Velaryon’s eyes should be put out, for the eye he had cost Aemond. Luke was FIVE when this happened, Alicent was a grown 32 year old woman, a mother to 4 children. Though this can easily be passed as her mother's grief talking. So moving on.

Aemond(19) and Daeron(15) remained unwed. Marriage is the best way of allegiance (ex. Rhaenyra and Velaryons). Aemond could've been easily married by then, maybe to Cassandra Baratheon, where he could've been her consort (ex. Daemon and Rhea). Daeron could've been married too, but even a Betrothal would've been fine, maybe to some Tyrell. Yet it didn't happen.

By (visits=Viserys?) 'Rhaenyra living as long as she did', I think you mean the peace treaty? Even an idiot knows you offer a peace treaty at the beginning of a war, so you can be seen as peaceful and better than the other. It wasn't even just her either, Otto and Helaena both pushed for it. The offer was also a hostageship for Rhaenyra and her whole family.

Also Rhaenyra is the one who kept Alicent alive not the other way around. “for the sake of our father, who loved you once.”

about the ages and timeline I don't know if you're referring to the fact that the actors of Alicent, Aegon, Aemond and Helaena are in the same age range (olivia cooke and tom are 29 and 30 years old WTF) or the fact that no one ages in this series, two time jumps and corlys, rhaenys, otto, alicent and criston are the same

All of it. Like what even abt that show makes sense. How do people make it make sense. Like Princess Karen was 50 when her children were 10? She's still 50 when her ADULT children die and have almost adult grandchildren. Ser Hightower looked the same all throughout they didn't even try. Not going to speak abt Alisaint, there's no point in it. The creators have their bias towards that woman. Like they aren't even trying to hide the fact that Alisaint is their best and favourite character🤷‍♀️.

THE UGLY ASS COSTUMES. THE TERRIBLE SCRIPT. THE NO THINKING OF SENSE THAT WENT INTO THE MISERABLE PLOT.
