Are you seriously going to reblog my post that has nothing to do with some stupid show with tags of that shitshow? And now because of you, I have shit ton of HOTD dickrider anons.
I am not going to correct any of your statements because you seem to do that quite well by yourself.
Using a REBELLION to prove how law worksđ¤Śââď¸
Calling a hypothetical situation answering to a hypothetical ask fan-fiction on my part, really does showcase your comprehension skills.
If Alicent's children were all girls, the throne would easily pass to Rhaenyra with no problem, even with Hightower ambition. Oldest>Younger.
Also tell me, what other merit did Aegon have over Rhaenyra aside from the fact he had a cock?
Again calling this a 'history book', when you have no other argument to support your statement is also quite lovely.
When you're against something, everything is true, but otherwise, it's just a history book written years later we don't know what actually happened.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO REBLOG MY POST WITH A TAG THAT HAS NOTHING DO WITH SOME STUPID FANFIC SHITSHOW, DON'T.
Personally, I've always perceived Rhaenyra as an entitled brat. That was sort of how she was portrayed in the book. Daemon was pretty nasty as well, as he groomed Rhaenyra. He was teaching her "how best to touch a man to bring him pleasure," if Mushroom is to be believed.
I am inclined to believe Mushroom.
I think most of Rhaenyra's behaviors at Daemon's fault, but I do think that Rhaenyra is mad as she wanted to torture her little brother for calling her bastard children 'bastards'. That isn't sane behavior, and nothing really excuses it. Aemond really was defending himself.
Alicent should have asked for Rhaenyra's boys to be swatted on the hands wooden spoon a good few times, not an eye. (Lucerys should not have had a dagger. Why would a child need a dagger?)
I don't think anyone thought Rhaenyra was still heir after Aegon was born. Viserys literally broke the laws of the entire realm for her.
War was inevitable, and there was nothing Rhaenyra could have done aside from marrying her infant brother.
I don't know if you've been asked something like this before. I also have no idea if the background to my question makes sense, but do you think there was any way Rhaenyra could have become Queen without breaking laws, murdering kin, and or bloodshed?
Who started breaking laws? âThe Greens
Who started murdering kin?âThe Greens
Who started bloodshed?â The Greens
In a monarchy, which Westeros is and has been for THOUSANDS of years the king's words is the law. Not that of his predecessors, but of the present ruling monarch.
Viserys named his 8 year old daughter as his heir, he varied from custom yes, but never broke law. HE IS THE LAW.
Viserys also broke custom by marrying Alicent, a daughter of a second son and not a ruling lord. A woman that could not give him anything of importance, not money, not a fleet, not any great allegiance. He married her simply because loved her. Being the second time he broke CUSTOM for a woman he loved. Rhaenyra and Alicent.
Even if Viserys allowed his 16 year old daughter to be wed to her 6 year old brother, you think that would prevent war? You people are simply stupid if you think so. Aegon (Otto & Alicent) could easily imprison Rhaenyra and simply put it out as she died, or simply even just end her life. And obviously with their children being young(if they had any, very unlikely) Aegon could crown himself as king rather than prince consort. And do you really think Alicent would let her precious son be king consort to a wanton woman? We see this with Jaehaerys' children Daenerys and Aemon.
I don't think anyone thought Rhaenyra was still heir after Aegon was born. Viserys literally broke the laws of the entire realm for her.
The Blacks? Literally many at court more than even the Greens supported Rhaenyra as heir. Even afterwards, during the war Rhaenyra had much more supporters than Aegon, even after her death.
Rhaenyra is mad as she wanted to torture her little brother for calling her bastard children 'bastards'. That isn't sane behavior, and nothing really excuses it. Aemond really was defending himself. Alicent should have asked for Rhaenyra's boys to be swatted on the hands wooden spoon a good few times, not an eye.
Right, Rhaenyra insisting for Aemond to be questioned sharply is mad but Alicent asking for a five year old's eye to be cut out is perfectly sane behaviour, yes? Be serious right now. Do you really think Viserys out of all people would let his son be tortured? Rhaenyra knew of that, she wanted Aemond to admit that his mother, Alicent has been spreading rumours abt easy as that.
It wasn't just for the insults either, Luke's nose was broken, Jace was hit in the head. And Joff was thrown into dragon droppings.
Afraid that the boy would raise the alarm, Prince Aemond shouted at him to be quiet, then shoved him backward into a pile of dragon droppings.
Aemond fought back, breaking Lukeâs nose with a punch, then wrenching the sword from Joffâs hands and cracking it across the back of Jaceâs head, driving him to his knees. As the younger boys scrambled back away from him, bloody and bruised, the prince began to mock them, laughing and calling them âthe Strongs.â
Jace at least was old enough to grasp the insult. He flew at Aemond once again, but the older boy began pummeling him savagelyâŚuntil Luke, coming to the rescue of his brother, drew his dagger and slashed Aemond across the face, taking out his right eye.
Aemond was TEN. Jace was SIX, Luke FIVE, Joff only THREE.
A 10 year old Pummeling (= boxing, repeatedly puching) and 6 year old is a perfectly good thing to do.
Lucerys should not have had a dagger. Why would a child need a dagger?
Because this child, is a prince? Almost everyone had daggers at that time, Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses, Ladies, Lords, Commonborn, every one had daggers. They carried it for personal protection, even Lucerys.
ĐĐľ was teaching her "how best to touch a man to bring him pleasure," if Mushroom is to be believed. I am inclined to believe Mushroom.
Even then, if Rhaenyra is such an 'entitled brat' why would she want to please the son of a steward of a Lord. And that too, not even a major Lord. Why would she want to please a no-one that became a someone because of HER.
Personally, I've always perceived Rhaenyra as an entitled brat. That was sort of how she was portrayed in the book.
She was portrayed as spoiled, yes. How could she not be? She came after many miscarriages and stillbirth, many other losses in the family. To her parents she was their first daughter, both of them motherless on their own. To Baelon, she was his first granddaughter after the loss of this wife, son, aemon and the rest of his siblings. To Jaehaerys and Alysanne, she was probably the first great-grandchild they met, she came after they lost most of their children (+Jocelyn who was as good as daughter, Rhaenys and probably never met her children till the feast and tourney of 98). She was a light in a time where her family was sinking from the inside.
I don't know how fighting for something that is yours, and have been for over TWENTY YEARS is seen as entitlement rather advocating and defending her own right?
There is someone who is portrayed as entitled, however. Alicent Hightower. Who thought simply because she popped out the King's son, means he should become a king. And this son who thought simply because he was a man with a cock, he was more fit to rule than a daughter without a cock.
Why should I explain the basic of things to strangers as if they're 5 and lack comprehension? Lolđ
friendly reminder that the phrase âa queen for a queenâ does not, in fact, exist in fire and blood canon. itâs a saying made up by aegon meatriders in order to take away from and further ridicule rhaenyraâs 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, rhaenyraâs entire LEGACY is rooted in her womanhood and what it ultimately ends up costing her.
her breast was cut as one final âfuck you,â by the narrative, âthis would never have happened had you only been born a man.â 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.
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. Donât 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.

'Rhaenyra Targaryen and her yellow dragon Syrax'
Not only is this AI generated but this is used as a reference for 'book Rhaenyra' all the time.
It is said "she never lost the weight she gained during her pregnancies, and she had grown stout and thick of waist at the age of twenty after her third pregnancy." NOT "she became super morbidly obese".
She went through THREE pregnancy before 20.
And the chances are this girl was short short, both Rodrik Arryn and Daella Targaryen are short, naturally Mama Aemma is going to be short aswell. Rhaenyra could very well take after her mother's side, and be short queen, therefore appearing fatter than she actually is.
And her being overweight somehow makes her less worthy of the throne? Her father King Viserys I was very obese, eventually dying because of it. Both Aegon and Helaena were fat.
Atleast Rhaenyra can say she is fat because of the pregnancies. What can Aegon or Helaena give as a reason. (before you come at me, both of them were described as being fat/plump BEFORE their wedding)
At the fact it would not have mattered if Rhaenyra was overweight or not, if not for her rivalry with Alicent, who is described as being thin 'even after four pregnancies'
The official portrait of Rhaenyra commissioned by GRRM himself
A few other official pieces of Rhaenyra once again commissioned by GRRM.
Again, she is not a skinny legend in any of these, but not some 300 pound(136kg) woman either.

I hope you are happy with all the sympathy you are recieving lately. People will do anything for attention these days. Sending yourself hateful asks. To get others sympathy.
Again this isn't Youtube or gofundme or some other sympathy seeking app. I don't have to send myself for 'sympathy'. I am gaining absolutely nothing from the sympathies of random strangers online.
You should go find the next baby youa re going to groom, what else can you expect from a pedo. How much of creep do you have to be to support darmyra.
I am the creep here? Wow
In your opinion, would Princess Viserra's fate have changed if she had been promised to Lord Manderly's heir, and not to him?
That is to say, if marriage to the Manderlys were necessary to formalize a pact with the North, perhaps a handsome husband of the same age who would make her Lady of White Harbor would be more interesting to the young princess.
I won't hold back. NOTHING about Viserra's storyline makes any sense short of all the characters having a stroke.
Perceptive and compassionate Alysanne, who previously demonstrated considerable matchmaking skills, suddenly becomes very bad at it. (Don't get me started on Elio Garcia's attempt to defend Alysanne's OOC behavior as her being jealous of her own daughter's beauty.)
Jaehaerys suddenly becomes an absentee father from the 1950s rather than, you know, a medieval king for whom his daughter's marriage is of the utmost political importance.
Septon Barth? Grand Maester Elysar? Both MIA.
Theomore Manderly? If he was truly canny, he would have seen the offer for what it was and declined it.
Its true, the best way to tie the North closer to the south (and more specifically the Iron Throne) short of House Stark is House Manderly. However, marrying Viserra, a princess (and the prettiest one at that) to Theomore entirely defeats that purpose. One, a fat man old enough to be your grandfather is hardly appealing on a personal level, especially to a teen princess who knows just how attractive she is. Two, any children Viserra had would come behind four wives' worth of stepchildren, practically guaranteeing that the future Lords of White Harbor won't share any direct blood ties to House Targaryen, which brings me to my third point. Marrying Viserra to Theomore more or less dooms Viserra's line to obscurity and she herself to a life of dependency on the charity of her stepson.
What, then, would have made way more sense? Marrying her to Desmond, who, as Theomore's great-grandson, would probably be fairly close in age to her, not to mention higher in the succession.
Now, to answer your question, yes I absolutely do believe Viserra might have lived a longer (and perhaps even fulfilling) life if her parents had picked someone other than Theomore Manderly to be her husband. Remember, the whole reason she was even out and about the night of her death was because she wanted to have fun one last time before resigning herself to her fate. If she had instead been looking forward to her wedding she wouldn't have had any incentive to sneak out, which makes the chances of her suffering a tragic accident the way she did in OTL astronomically lower.
Thanks for the question, @diegoedil
Daughter of King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne.
(why yes, I did redo Viserra. Why do you ask?)
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
