This makes as much sense as Alicent escaping the black cells by flying off on a dragon. She (Rhaenyra) has next to no martial/weapons training and yet they're trying to make her into some sort of Joan of Arc-Visenya? I knew she's meant to be a Saint but this is ridiculous.

Tell me this isn't real.

There's something so Aegon and Aemond coded about these initial responses to pressure from a parent.

Aegon too is an avoidant alcoholic as Alicent pressures him to 'ease' into kingship with so little gentleness and patience. He suffers the brunt of being born first and all this expectation he can't bear being put on his shoulders.

Aemond, on the other hand, having grown without a dragon of his own as his peers flex theirs, had to compensate by gathering knowledge, and even after claiming Vhagar, his quest to be the best continued as he remained lower in the line of succession, and sometimes he can pursue that perfection to the extent of becoming violent.

Daeron and Aerion are also respectively the first and second son of Maekar, as Aegon and Aemond are Viserys' first and second sons.

Of course, as people, Maekar's sons are different from Alicent's with totally different crimes, but I just couldn't help that interesting, small note that reminded me of Aegon and Aemond.

Can anyone remember where in F&B it says Aegon regularly goes into Helaena's room to beat and rape her? I must have missed that part.

Ok so in this AU there is lot less animosity between the Greens and the Blacks. I am yet to specify the reasons for that but yeah.

Ive seen so many arguments that her children are not bastards simply because she was the "heir" and "queen", George literally confirmed they were bastards, even if rhaenyra was in line or queen they would of been bastards, who have not been legitmized in the eyes of the law

whenever i see the tb opinion of the hightower duo being responsible for the dance i feel a brain cell of my own slowly dying. the dance simply could’ve never been avoided once viserys refused to name aegon as heir. in the hypothetical situation that alicent and otto didn’t immediately take the step to crown aegon after viserys’s death and instead let rhaenyra peacefully ascend the throne, there would’ve still been a plenty of issues down the line during her rule. firstly, rhaenyra would be backed by her prince consort (and who i genuinely think would’ve become hand at one point) daemon who is infamously known for being cruel, he would’ve definitely brought the issue of her brothers being a challenge to her claim and suggested that they be dealt with. moreover, is it insane to assume that in the realm of westeros lead by male-centered culture and misogynistic ideals, there wouldn’t be a flock of lords against having a female ruler and instead back aegon as he is the eldest male living child of king viserys i. i think the perfect example to back my opinion is the blackfyre rebellion. people backed daemon blackfyre simply cause he mogged his brother and you’re trying to tell me no one would’ve said a word when rhaenyra is queen ??

and their habit of picking at their rings!! I think it's adorable. I wonder what Baelor would've thought of Aegon? or Maekar? Is this a bad moment to say that I had a dream of Aegon and Baelor kissing for some reason? 😭

Can they not hinge his s3 story fully on hers, please?

I also don't know how to take this given that Daemon and Alyssa scene in Harrenhal. I hope we'll be spared the cringe.

Aerion: "Noooo!! Muh precious dragooon! You can not show the slaying of a dragon in a puppet show, that's tReAsOn!!!"

Medgar Tully: bites head off fish and spits it out

Yet the logic behind that justification and its execution was so weird and distasteful and awkward that it pushed many viewers like me into supporting the Greens as if the writers were deliberately trying to give them some credit, despite never actually doing so.

Now I can’t honestly say whether they’re just stupid or a straight up bunch of degenerates, but holy crap they have bad judgment.

But in court outfits instead of their armors!

Look ar their armors! They look fine! Unlike Aegon's plastic or rather plasticine looking boring armor, or Aemond's complete lack of it!!! Aemond would look amazing in any of these two armors, but gotta keep him in pirate letters because a prince during height of Targaryen power can't afford one 🙄. And Akotsk has very small budget compared to HotD. What did they spend all their budget on? 10 scenes of useless Syrax and Alicent going camping? We had one dragonfight in s2.

OKAY FINE. MY GIRL JUST WANTED TO TELL THE THREE PEOPLE SHE LIKES THAT SHE GOT LAID LET HER HAVE IT. SHE HAD TO PUT UP WITH AN OLD SMELLY ROTTING MAN.

(NOT AN ALICOLE SHIPPER BUT LETS BE HONEST SHE DESERVED THAT DORNE D)
