And the thing is, it us not that Viserys didn't love his children from Alicent either. Viserys did love his children very much. Just simply not as much as Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra came after and before many miscarriages and stillbirths. She was his only child, the only child his father and grandparents met. She was his only child for nearly 15 years. She became motherless at a very young age, therefore he focused on her more. So many things why Viserys favoured Rhaenyra.
But in the end the green stans will say, Viserys didn't love Aegon (even tho he did), hence he deserves the throne better than Rhaenyra who was loved.
I'm tired of reading posts that say that Aegon and Aemond became terrible people because they had "rough childhoods." What kind of nonsense is this?
Yes, Viserys did not love his sons very much, but he was not a monster. He did not insult or beat his sons. These boys are part of the ruling dynasty, they lived in luxury and comfort, had a good education, they got everything they wanted (except for the title of heir), they were forgiven almost everything, they had a mother next to them who loved them. How many boys in Westeros have this?
Aegon has nothing to complain about at all. The boy was a spoiled hedonist who got everything he wanted. His wife was his sister, the Targaryen princess and dragon rider, whom he knew well and he did not have to leave his home (Daemon, who at the age of sixteen was forced to leave the home in which he grew up and live with a strange woman, was not so lucky). And even if Aegon was not satisfied with Helaena as a wife, then since he was born a man, the prince could afford promiscuity with any woman he wanted. And it doesn't seem like anyone at court would be bothered by this. Re-read the book. All of Aegon's problems began from the moment he usurped his sister's throne.
The only thing Aemond could complain about was the loss of his eye. After all, even if Viserys had made Aegon his heir, Aemond would still not be very high in the line of succession, since Aegon had two sons by the age of twenty, and in the future there could be even more. As for losing an eye, yes, it's bad. But still, many things happen in life. I mean, in real life, injuries happen during children's games or fights.
At the same time, Rhaenyra lost her mother when she was a child, and after some time she was replaced by an embittered and full of hatred and envy woman, because of which she had to leave the house in which she grew up, and after her own father forbade her to leave Dragonstone, to protect the “beloved” daughter and wife from new conflicts.
I've written before about what I think of Viserys as a father and my opinion hasn't changed. Viserys's love brought Rhaenyra more harm than good. Viserys was a terrible father to all of his children, but at least his children from his second marriage had a mother. No matter how much I hated Alicent, she was there for her children and loved them in her own way. Rhaenyra has been alone since she was a child.
Rhaenyra was also forced to marry against her will to a man who would never love her as a woman. And when she allowed herself a relationship with someone else, she was certainly condemned and humiliated.
Every time I see posts about the "difficult childhood" of Alicent's children, I want to laugh. Rhaenyra grew up without a mother, her stepmother was an evil witch, and her father was a useless idiot. But of course, according to the greens, Rhaenyra was born evil in the flesh and her suffering does not matter and she deserves it.

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 Rhaenyra’s quartered banner and raise Aegon’s golden dragon in its stead, each in turn was brought in chains to King’s 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 queen’s men against the king. Reports soon reached King’s 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 Wayfarer’s 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 Aegon’s 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?

THE JADE TIARA
Belonging to Princess Rhaenyra, gifted to her by her husband, then uncle Prince Daemon
“Princess Rhaenyra was a different matter. Daemon spent long hours in her company, enthralling her with tales of his journeys and battles. He gave her pearls and silks and books and a jade tiara said once to have belonged to the Empress of Leng, read poems to her, dined with her, hawked with her, sailed with her, entertained her by making mock of the greens at court, the ‘lickspittles’ fawning over Queen Alicent and her children. He praised her beauty, declaring her to be the fairest maid in all the Seven Kingdoms. Uncle and niece began to fly together almost daily, racing Syrax against Caraxes to Dragonstone and back.”
Tell me this doesn't scream THE REALM'S DELIGHT
I mean look at her😤😤😤

Hi I'm really sorry for the terrible comments you are getting. But I think it is mostly because House of the dragon is now canon. Which I get because people like you have being fans longer than hotd fans. Calling hotd fans terrible when you are the one making unnecessary rude comments and playing the victim Is just wrong.
In all seriousness, how is that fanfic shitshow supposed to be canon when the viewers doesn't even understand what the universe of 'A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE' is abt lol.
You people are the same people who said otherworldly valyrian beauty was a propaganda made up by the conquerors so they could be seen as worthier rulers. Like I wish I was making this up.
The same people who bullied a 60+ man who has been a (Tolkien, GRRM, fantasy) viewer for YEARS, all because he said the actor who was playing Renada in that shitshow was not beautiful enough to be 'THE REALM'S DELIGHT'. That's all he said, he didn't say the actor was ugly or any other negative comment. But people bullied him off the app.
GRRM HIMSELF HAS SAID NO OTHER CANON IS TRUE BUT THE BOOKS. Like this man, at his age has to earn his living somehow.
If you like the show canon and believe it to be canon, FINE. But coming into my asks and leaving unnecessary asks is perfectly sane behaviour.
How am I playing the victim here when I get called a pedophile because I like Daenerys and Viserra.
Daenerys was a 13 getting rap3d.
Viserra was a 15 year trying to escape a life of marital rap3 but died a virgin.
How much of a racist should you be to think that rhaenya didn't force cristin. Yall are stupid. She did force him to have sex with her
To begin with my post was not related to fanfic shitshow.
It's so funny how you assigned one of Rhaenyra's colors are blue. Blue is Helaena's color, to honor dreamfyre and her bond with dreamfyre. Yall really want Rhaenyra to be the second Helaena🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Please go and figure out who Rhaenyra's mother is.
Queen Aemma Arryn. An Arryn, whose house color is blue. She is the Daughter of Princess Daella Targaryen. A Targaryen, who married into the Arryns.
'The second Helaena'. Rhaenyra came first, if anything you are trying to make Helaena a second Rhaenyra.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I was reading a fic. It was an AU, so it very much varies from the original story, but the same characters and all, just a change in an incident happening. It's such a beautifully well written fic.
And one of the daily commenters, is this terribly rude person. The only comment they leave is pure hatred. They could just leave? But no comments on every single chapter, how terrible the writting style is, and manyyyy more things, I won't mention here. It's not just hate, it's full on harassment. They reported her acc on Tumblr, got her banned. She fully stopped writing on AO3.
Today I just clicked on their page, and I kid you not they are a writer themselves. A fic with OC. The story is so different from the original plot. The other characters only have the name, no personalities, no characteristics relating to the actual book characters.
Which is absolutely fine. Like you have your taste. Read or write whatever you want. Fine. What is fine not tho? Spreading hate to another person, who works hard just because they write something that you don't agree with. You are a writer, you know how it feels to get hate. If you don't like it or agree with it just leave. You don't have to bring down someone, so you can feel good about yourself. Some person you don't even know, has probably fully stopped writing just because you were an asshole. You are not cool, just terrible.
Have nothing good you say? Leave.
not a bot, just a chilling lurker. Viserra and Rhaenyra and Daenerys³ are baby girls who deserved better. “And here it is, our final night alive, As the earth burns to the ground.“
