Hotd Showwriters/whoever Is In Charge Of Rha*nicent And Rhae*aria: Hmm...what If Rhaenyra Is....bisexual?

hotd was a mistake.

Baela and Rhaena designs for my House of the Dragon Keychains!

Personally I don’t know how people can think Rhaegar dying with Lyanna’s name is romantic (not confirmed canon btw only came from an app which GRRM does not back as canon) when he had a whole ass daughter hiding under his bed wishing he would save her…he couldn’t spare her a thought?

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?

littlefinger was able to get away w having a bastard daughter who looks suspiciously like catelyn stark bc all the vale lords noticed but immediately went oh petyr got the prostitute/peasant girl he could find who most closely resembled catelyn tully pregnant right around the time she married ned stark. extremely likely thing for petyr to do

Aegon: *using his child as a source of cheap amusement and belittling his wife, clearly somewhat drunk*

Team Green: He’s such a good father and husband this episode. He acknowledges their existence 🥺

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

“A son for a son!” oh just you wait, you inbred audacious psycho.

I love Jace, but I can't wait to see Rhaenyra suffer. I hate her so much, she has no brain, no attitude to rule.... what a idiotic character

Team Rotten Cucumber Color thinks they're incredibly funny when they laugh at Jace's death. You know, the Jace who got on his dragon and went into real combat to save his little brothers, and died along with his dragon. But they believe that Daeron, who died crushed by the burning tent, and Aemond, who in terror tried to unfasten himself from the saddle before being pierced by a sword like a shish kebab, died the death of heroes… Those who slaughtered entire cities and burned the realm. To whom Aegon wanted to build great golden monuments while the realm was in war and famine. Because, you know, they have "brains and the ability to rule." Obviously…

And they think the death of these "inbred bastards" is funny, because you know incest, haha ​​hihi, but… I guess they don't know that the children of the niece and uncle are much less "inbred" than the children of siblings 🤔 (Before someone says "Rhaenyra wanted it, Aegon didn't!" let me remind you that Aegon was the heir of absolutely nothing, so he didn't need heirs and didn't have to consummate the marriage… like Daemon and Rhea for example.) Does that mean that since "the children are inbred" and the parents are "audacious psychos" that means we can make fun of their deaths? In that case, the deaths of Jaehaerys, Jaehaery and Maelor should also be hilarious jokes, because they are also "inbred freaks of nature".

Have you seen TB's posts about "You want revenge, not dignity? Oh just you wait, you rapist audacious psycho. You'll get revenge! (Here's a picture of Jaehaera thrown out of the window/Maelor torn apart by the crowd)". Strangely enough, I don't 🤔

"In King’s Landing, however, Queen Alicent grew most wroth when she learned the babe had been named Aegon, taking that for a slight against her own son Aegon"

Rhaenyra gave birth to the perfect Aegon, who by the age of ten had lost half his family, his dragon, witnessed the horrific execution of his own mother, and got traumatized for life, but was still a better man, brother, husband, and king than the cheap parody of a Targaryen that the usurper was.

"If the writers of House of The Dragon keep gaslighting the audience into thinking Viserys was anything better than a powerful man who stole a young girls future, dreams and physical body in the quest for a son he will never love, I will riot"

Okay, I have one fundamental question for people who think that if it weren't for Viserys, Alicent would have a "future" - what kind? What kind of future would that be? If someone says "marriage and children of love <3" they're being ridiculous. I know the creators want to show that Alicent is THE victim, the truth is that you can count on the fingers of one hand the women in the world of ASOIAF who were not victims of an arranged marriage.

Alicent was the daughter of the second son, who despite being the Hand of the King (which he lost several times) had no lands or wealth, no army. Everything that belonged to the Hightower family didn't belong to Otto, but to his older brother, who was the Lord of Oldtown. If it weren't for Viserys, Otto would have married her off to some lesser lord... And that was it. There would be no wonderful "future", just the exact same life, but much less comfortable, because it would be hard to find a man who would allow Alicent so much disrespect and do whatever she wanted.
