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?

thinking about benjen walking up to lord commander mormont like “🥺🥺🥺 can my nephew please keep his magic killer wolf?? his father made him sit in the back at dinner 😞”

bethany and steve talking about how their scenes and lines were cut out and they had to quite literally beg and advocate for their inclusion in the show. nevermind the treatment rhaena is getting in the show that just… is insanely off track from the treatment she got in the books. characters with little to no relevance are given screentime and have scenes that should have gone to other characters, actors experiencing racism and hate from the gp, and poc characters either being scrapped or reduced to a fanfiction version of the writers fantasy. mind you, baela and corlys are in my top five favs on the show, and here i am being told that despite their importance in the narrative (especially baela’s) they are either reduced to the background, sidelined or cut out completely? but they have enough time to film olivia cooke taking a fucking bath every episode? phoebe even mentions they’d get disappointed looking at the script knowing they wouldn’t have any lines. not to mention, other canon poc characters like nettles go erased and merged into other black characters, and it’s STILL not done with a manner of intention and care. it feels intentional to have these characters be played by black actors and then do this to them. fucking KYS ryan and sara

"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.

lmao so GRRM's notablog post criticizing Ryan Condal's writing choices has apparently now been deleted. 💀 the girls are fightinggg

"I have no idea what Ryan has planned, if indeed he has planned anything." 💅

I just knew they were going to delete daemon taking KL for rhaenyra , I just knew it .

Now it’s alicent’s plan and work that got rhaenyra KL and put her on the throne not daemon’s

This show is a joke

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.

Every other day someone on twitter compares Dany to Aegon II. And every time it happens, I think how awful is to compare a rapist (Aegon II) to a rape victim (Dany).
