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 know the genie is out of the bottle and you can't go back but dear GOD I hate the mainstreamification of fandom so much
I do NOT want authors or showrunners or actors to acknowledge us or talk about fanfic or fanart or fan theories! I do NOT want people asking questions of the canon creators and getting them answered (make up your own answers, like god intended!) I do NOT want companies making jokey advertisements aimed toward fandom!
I know that fandom was never entirely underground but like... I miss that fourth wall existing, you know?
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.
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.”
“She was my only daughter, and they killed her.”
rhaenyra pregnant with her last child </3
THE PRINCESS OF DRAGONSTONE
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.“
