The Only Ones Trapped On The Green Side That Don't Deserve Any Harm

Instead of talking shit about the actors, you should complain about the real culprits for their crappy acting in the series. If the people behind hotd didn't keep insisting on this shitty fanfic that women are all victims of manipulative and evil men, and had invested in the real story of the characters, I have no doubt that all the actors would have been excellent.

What episode did green fans watch where Aegon is a good father because all I saw from Aegon was that he: did not know anything about his son's schedule or interests, didn't greet his daughter (who in turn did not even acknowledge him), and then used his son to flex his power over Tyland.

Are we just conflating loving your children and not being completely neglectful with being a good parent?

as someone who was adopted i HATEEE the conversation surrounding the velaryon kids because i never felt like I really fit in (through no fault of my adoptive family, I just had issues after being shuttled around the foster system), I always felt like I wasn't as good as my mums "real" (biological) family, I never felt like I was truly her daughter, I was genuinely surprised to see i was given an equal share in her will as my sisters, the idea these kids aren't really laenors and not really rhaenys and corlys' family and have no right to family echoes so much of how I felt. and it's not even my own feelings anymore. People have been saying it for 2 years. I cant enjoy this fandom without seeing people questioning whether or not they should be considered part of the targ family.

and yeah I know its fiction but this series isn't made as an escape, its a commentary. which is why so much is based off current politics and historical conflicts. its made to reflect the real world. and all I see is my own feelings of inadequacy reflected.

(on anon because I don't want to be attacked by rabid TG fans)

It took me a while to organize my thoughts to answer and I still don't think this is a good enough answer

But I think this all comes from that believe that an adopted child can't be as loved as a biological one

That's why they think that Daemon hates the Velaryon boys or that Laenor's side of the family has no right to mourn Lucerys

Add a sprinkle of resentment to that mix because TG (who are the picture of a nuclear family) are constantly betraying each other, and TB (who are messy as fuck ngl) are a united front

And you have bastardphobia at its finest

The Velaryon boys are all amazing and very loved, so those who hate them can only use their parentage as justification for their hatred towards them, using bastard as an insult

They forget that this shit affects real people, that their "uh they are not a real family because they are not related 😵‍💫" affects real people who "unluckily" don't have a nuclear family with a biological mom and a biological dad

I know that the Greens weren’t even the slightest bit of politically competent in book canon, but it’s even more exaggerated in the show.

Vhagar is their answer for everything. They have nothing else. It’s pathetic, really.

And it’s even more pathetic to believe this dragon to be some sort of unbeatable force.

Rhaenyra has six full grown dragons + four teenage ones and a baby one.

Power exists in numbers.

Two of any of the Blacks’ grown dragons can bring her down easily. She may be experienced and large, but she is old, confused and tired.

Caraxes alone was more than a match for Vhagar.

going into 2025 still obsessed with:

everyone talks about how alicent "deserves" to put aegon on the throne because of everything that happened to her after marrying viserys, but what about aemma? the one who had to marry him when she was twelve and had to go through five miscarriages before giving birth to rhaenyra at fifteen and later died on birth?

hate when critics and fans keep comparing rhaenyra & daenerys, especially their show-versions.

because even with the worst butchering of her character, dany remains the superior character! they are simply NOT comparable, sorry.

d&d may have killed dany, but at least she didn’t end up like a loser.

meanwhile ryan condal & his bad writing squad have written rhaenyra as an incompetent, naive loser who can’t decide anything and doesn’t give a fuck about her dead kids. they made her beg her nasty usurper stepmom for peace? in the name of (white) feminism? this is just trying to humble women into never showing emotion.

she is simply not intelligent, caring nor capable in this show (esp since episode 1x10).

genuinely, how crazy is that? humiliation ritual through and through.

i’m sorry that they did this to you, rhaenyra targaryen, you deserved better!

but s3 will genuinely be worse btw, just be prepared!

don’t waste your life watching this show, go outside <3

Joffrey throwing Lucerys’ toy into his funeral pyre so his big brother can take it with him into the afterlife 💔

Yeah. It's queerbaiting.

The King Aegon that Greenies think never wanted the throne, was forced to take it for the good of his family, and did his best for the people of the realm:
