I Suppose Now The Greens' Only Dragon Is Vaghar, And Always Has Been. And His Rider Conveniently Sabotages

Gonna be so normal about Aegon's little frat boy gang that somehow obediently sits at his feet while he is cuntily lounging on the throne.... their names are Martyn Reyne, Eddard Waters and Leon Estermont btw....

"and a feature in the fancies of many a young lady, I'll wager."

I read it somewhere, but when they mention how a young man is highly appreciated by women it's a huge hint that it's HBO's way to tell us that the character will be gay.

And if it's true, now I'm afraid.

Considering how they handled Loras in GOT reducing almost all his scenes to his sexuality when actually he was soo much more than that, they're gonna do the same with Daeron.

Like, c'mon Hackondal and Mess, Daeron is described as Rhaegar Targaryen vibes even before Rhaegar Targaryen was a thing! But unlike religious zealot Rhaegar who cheated on his wife and caused a war because of an idiot prophecy, Daeron was Ned Stark's levels of loyalty. All his qualities will be reduced to... well, what he does when the lights go out.

But ofc they're gonna ruin him. I can see it coming, like winter. Oh well, what's one more character assassination in Team Green, right? *insert I'm tired boss meme here*

The only thing that’s keeping me from stopping watching the show is Daeron.The more they talk about him during the episodes,the more they mention his name,the way they said that he's kind and loyal,that he has a dragon and that he's ready to fight,are the only things that i care about.

This new season,for me,is slow and boring asf,i've lost the count of how many times i check how long the episodes are going to last because i can't take it anymore.Thankfully there are only two more to come out and then it's over.

writers do better.

the minor characters lowkey took it this season.... gwayne, erryk & arryk, simon strong, oscar tully, tyland lannister, aegon's little frat friendgroup, maester orwyle, alys rivers, jasper wylde, larys, elinda massey, hugh hammer, rickard thorne, those 2 riverlands guys that had everyone fujoshing out i mean come ON.. let's hear it for the relatively normal people

oscar tully is the prince who was promised

alicent realizing that viserys deathbed confession to make aegon king was a giant misunderstanding and now there's nothing she can do about it because her sons are out for blood and she has no power over them anymore. she's now doomed to be haunted by her own pre war decisions for the rest of her life

whenever i think my Haikyuu brainrot is getting out of hands, i remember my level of obsession is not even near of grown men's obsession towards sports, namely soccer and football, and I feel immediately less mentally ill

Love that we can say this now without getting de@th threats

it’s honestly very frustrating to try and see people paint alicent as some sort of karen and rhaenyra as some sort of feminist icon. newsflash: none of the women in this show are feminists. AND THAT IS OKAY!! we’re looking at a story that predates those sort of progressive ideals and it’s not fair to hold either character to such a modern standard.

rhaenyra is out for herself and for her own claim, she’s not fighting for the right of all women to sit the iron throne. this is pretty clearly spelled out for us when she tells rhaenys that baela and jacerys’ sons will inherit the iron throne. but this isn’t a criticism of rhaenyra, she’s a woman living in an incredibly oppressive time, and while it could make for a great story, it should not be her responsibility to fight for the hypothetical claims of other women. as the the legitimate heir to the throne, her only concern should be fighting to take back her crown from the usurper.

as for alicent, she can really only cling to two things: duty/honor and trying to protect her children. her whole life has been nothing but miserable. losing her mother, being pawned off to viserys by her own father, being forced to have four children while she was still a child herself. and in the aftermath of all this, she’s lost her best friend and one true love. so of course she’s bitter and resentful, and of course she’s so preoccupied with duty. all she’s done since she was 14 years old is give and give, and it’s been rotten, thankless work.

it’s pretty easy to understand why both of these women are the way they are, and to acknowledge their deep complexity. sometimes it feels like people are being willfully obtuse in order to stay loyal to their respective “teams”, and I know it’s not that deep and the end of the day, but it’s still very frustrating.
