✨ The Young Princess Rhaenyra  ✨

I’ve been trying to finish this one for a month. A gift for a very talented, persistent and awe-inspiring @sweetestpopcorn, hope you liked it 😉

Here we have left-to-right Rhaena, Visenya and Baela, the canon we deserved)

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?

Viserys II Targaryen x Visenya Targaryen before their wedding XD

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.

Rhaenyra Targayen - Death of a Queen

King Aegon II’s dragon Sunfyre burns the king’s half-sister and rival Queen Rhaenyra while her son Aegon (III) watches.

“Rhaenyra Targaryen. She was daughter to one king and mother to two more, yet she died a traitor’s death for trying to usurp her brother’s crown.” Stannis Baratheon

Someone requested Rhaenyra’s coronation. I created her end. Sorry, but her coronation will follow soon…

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.

[I for some reason thought they were wearing winter clothing and re-read the scene only to realize I was wrong but I was in to deep so I just committed 😭]

“-If you cry, I will let you go. - he warned her. - So, no tears. You are a dragon, and dragons do not cry and fear like regular men. We are more than that, princess.”

….

“In King’s Landing, Viserys sat with Rhaenyra as he told her everything. Her mother’s death, and her brother’s as well. She sat stoically and listened to him quietly.

….

“When she looked at her reflection in the mirror she felt older and sad, but she did not cry, not then, and not when the flames consumed the body that had once belonged to her mother-”
