According To The Way They Adapted Fire And Blood In House Of The Dragon, We Can Probably Expect Some

Mushroom: aegon was a usurper and a rapist

Team green: He'S aN UnReliaBLe naRraRatOR

Mushroom: daemon taught rhaenyra how to kiss

Team green: This is 100% factual evidence that Daemon Targaryen is a groomer and a disgusting individual where is the lie there is So MuCh evidence!!!!!!111

Oh don't mind me. I am once again upset and flabbergasted by the favoritism toward Greens in screen time ratio.

We get two long scenes of Aegon making a fool of himself but not Jace's reaction to the prophesy shown, we don't even hear him listen to all of it.

Overlong scenes of Alicent and her potential pregnancy and Larys but no more reactions shown to Rhaenyra's absence.

Two unnecessary long scenes of Gwayne making fun of Criston but we don't see Rhaenys saying goodbye to Corlys. No scene of Rhaenys interacting with Baela or Jace or Rhaenyra. Saying goodbye to them. Even though this was her last appearance. The showrunners disrespect toward Rhaenys needs to be studied. She had one interaction with each of her granddaughters in the whole show and nothing with her grandsons.

Overlong montage of Criston taking in the destruction but no scene of how Jace is placed at the centre of council in his mother's absence.

None of the Team Black characters are given room to breathe. They barely get any screen time. Their emotions and conflicts are made secondary to disposable filler scenes of Greens. While all Team Black scenes are rushed and given no room to breathe.

This is not only incredibly unfair but also making the show quite a bore to sit through. And HBO wonders why the ratings are falling. People don't want to see the same thing with Greens over and over again when they're not developing. They haven't earned excessive screentime. Believe me, everyone's tired of this mess.

I think the Team Green fixation on Jaehaera is honestly pathetic and embarassing. She’s not the first or last child to suffer or die in ASOIAF, nor end her bloodline. Why did the Velaryon boys all have to die brutal deaths ? What about all the peasant children who burn up in Aemond’s rampages, or suffer mass rape and murder at Bitterbridge and Tumbleton ? Why do Shireen, Myrcella, Tommen have to suffer a horrible fate ? I never see the same insistence that any of them make it.

I think her death serves two important narrative stories. First, it secures the pyrrhic victory, by ending the Green’s bloodline and making their supposed efforts for self-preservation completely null. It evens the slate between the Greens and Blacks (Greens get the history books, Blacks get the actual bloodline).

But I think the more important narrative is how it demonstrates the effect of the Dance on women in the universe. The irony that the Greens last claimant to the throne is invalid because of their efforts. Jaehaera is deemed unimportant and replaceable by her own faction because of gender, and is therefore relegated to a vulnerable and unprotected position. Their ideology kills the last of their bloodline. She is usurped and killed by an ambitious lord with the same motivations as her grandfather had for usurping Rhaenyra. It shows the cyclical nature of violence against girls and women who have little value in their society, except as bloodline vessels and maybe curators of political favors and supportive wives.

hotd was a mistake.

I love people who say that we romanticize and pedestal a groomer by talking about Daemon in relation to the fact that we ship Daemyra instead of Rhaenicent or Rhaesaria.

Basically ship Rhaenyra with two of the women who canonically ruined her life in Fire and Blood and who in HOTD, sorry Alicent isn't better and Mysaria... damn where did that shit even come from.

Because apparently it's more moral to ship Rhaenyra with her canonical abuser (Alicent) in HOTD and F&B, or to ship her in a relationship that makes no narrative sense in HOTD, Mysaria therefore, and which in Fire and Blold goes literally taking advantage of Rhaenyra's paranoia to do shit and make a mess of our queen's life.

Rather than with Daemon, her husband whom she loves and who is a healthy relationship in F&B, but somewhat problematic in HOTD, but not because of the character itself of Daemon with Rhaenyra, but because the writers love to write scenes abuse that comes out of nowhere too !

Why am I writing this ? I came across an indecent number of Rhaenicent fanarts and edits, not to mention the related posts which say again and again that Daemon is a groomer (HOTD or F&B) without obviously understanding the definition... My brain is bursting with force.

No hatred towards the artists and content creators for the edits because they have incredible talent. Simply, I need to express my incomprehension in the face of so much success in terms of shipping and especially the comments made on these ships.

Emma really describing Alicent as the angel on Rhaenyra's shoulder and Daemon being the devil ?! What the actual fuck ! Objectively, it would be the opposite. But I guess the team of this show only knows demonize Daemon instead of accepting him as the anti hero he is and husband of Rhaenyra who love her and whom she is supposed to love in return. Without forgetting not capable of accept the canonical reality of Alicent which is that she is purely and simply a villain / antagonist, Rhaenyra's adversary and especially only for the pre-war period to then pass the baton to Aegon II as Rhaenyra's adversary. So Alicent isn't supposed to be that important when war is declared. I really hate how this show destroyed the characters and their stories and relationships to feed their pretentious and misogynistic fanfiction (which they ironically think is super progressive).

Unfinished piece of Jon’s and Robb’s goodbye scene:’)

They are actually my favorite dynamic and I hope to draw an actual finished piece one day …

He pulled Jon to him and embraced him fiercely. “Farewell, Snow”. Jon hugged him back. “And you Stark.”

Seriously I want to cry

alicents green dress moment was nothing short of pick me vibes. She ruined another women's wedding by coming late and trying to outshine her. She'd be mocked in reality if this was a real event.

Realistically this scene should indicate to everyone that alicent wasn't fit to be Queen. She comes in late, wears war colours and the dress itself is revealing so goes against her faith (the faith of the seven). She made herself look like a bad Queen consort in front of everyone important. Yet the narrative is painting her as badass and stuff. It was cringe and definitely not badass. She was not fit to be Queen and team green are definitely just blind if they think she is

Because the whole point of this scene was for Alicent to be the most important and such a "badass". After all, TG are so excited that everyone stood up in amazement at the sight of her, but not when Daemon entered! As if standing up for the queen's entrance was not required…

For me, Alicent's entire behavior at the wedding was completely cringe and I will never change my mind, because she showed a complete lack of any respect not only for the crown, but also for the Velaryon family, because they were the guests of honor. Alicent was a completely adult woman (both by Westeros standards and by modern ones), and she behaved like an offended child, because her former friend did not tell her the truth about her sexual life… as if Alicent's father had not sent spies after Rhaenyra, did not want to ruin her and there was no risk that Alicent would immediately run to him with the news. And you know "she didn't confide in me about the sex" = "this is war!!!!", because it's obvious that this will mean that Rhaenyra will want to murder her and her children in the future, and nothing will help protect your own life better than making a potential executioner your worst enemy. Alicent has a brain.

I don't know why, but I'm really curious about how Craster decided or started practicing incest. Like, it's known that savages have a different way of getting a woman, I wonder if he stole a woman once and decided it wasn't worth the effort.
