Fire and Blood:

Rhaenyra - Calls her half-brothers her half-brothers and her half-sister her sweet sister.

Alicent - “Mayhaps the whore will die in childbirth.”

Aegon - “I offered her an honorable peace, and the whore spat in my face.”

Aemond: “…or must we kneel and kiss the old whore’s cunny.” “The whore of Dragonstone, he means.” “The whore on Dragonstone is not the threat.”

House of the Dragon:

Rhaenyra- Refers to Aegon as Alicent’s son.

Aegon - Calls Rhaenyra the ‘bitch queen of bastards, the smug cunt of Dragonstone.’

Criston - Calls Rhaenyra a ‘spoiled cunt’ and a ‘spider who sucks her prey dry.’

But sure, the main conflict of the war doesn’t revolve around misogyny.

It's amazing how similar children are to them

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.

SO TRUE !

"History will paint you a villain"

Fourth wall breaking to make us believe what they're putting in Rhaenyra's mouth.

Alicent went to Rhaenyra's wedding wearing the colors her House use for war, which created the Green and Black teams. She knew what she was doing.

Alicent was the only one who actively hated Rhaenyra's children to be bastards. Corlys and Rhaenys didn't really care, Rhaenyra's own husband didn't care, Viserys was totally happily in denial. Cole hated it, but his opinion doesn't matter.

Alicent made it a big deal, raised Aegon to be scared of Rhaenyra when he had no true animosity towards his sister before. And telling her son to spare Rhaenyra after years of telling him he was a challenge for her and would die if she becomes queen, was silly.

She helped put Aegon on the throne, and when learnt she was wrong to do so, started to show disdain for him that led Aegon to take his dragon to battle and get burnt.

Then, at his weakest state, she accepted Rhaenyra's deal that includes the murder of her son. The very son who did not want to be king in the first place. Just so she could run away with Helaena and her daughter. She is literally fleeing what she helped causing. She could protect Helaena and Jaehaera and stay in KL to be by her sons' sides and accepts the same sentence she put on them. But no, she still wants a way out of this mess.

So, the writers telling us, through Rhaenyra of all people, "Alicent is a only a victim of patriarchy and will be paint as a villain" is so stupid. Yes, she is a victim. But it doesn't justify all she did. In season two, she marvels at how messed up her boys are, when all their life they heard her complain about Rhaenyra and her bastard children, how Aemond lost an eye and how Lucaerys should have lost his too, that Rhaenyra will murder Aegon in cold blood when she becomes queen (before he usurped her).

So, yes, she is a villain and history will rightfully paint her as such. That doesn't make her a bad character, nor does it mean all victims become villains in turn; Rhaenys is a victim of patriarchy too, Rhaenyra and her mum, the servant girl who Aegon sexually assaulted, all the women of the story are victims of that.

Rhaenyra at 16:

— took possession of Dragonstone as her own seat

— sailed and hunted

— sat at the foot of the Iron Throne when her father held court and attended small council meetings

— attended feasts and made allies

Aegon at 16:

— was lazy boy

— given to swilling ale and strongwine

— pinching and fondling any serving girl who strayed within his reach

Rhaenyra after Aegon is crowned: “As for my brothers and my sweet sister Helaena, they have been led astray by the council of evil men. Let them come to Dragonstone and bend the knee, and I will gladly welcome them back into my heart, for they are my blood and no man is as accursed as the kinslayer.”

Aegon after Rhaenyra is crowned: “I want her arrested, I want her attainted, and I want her dead.”

“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 🤔

Oh my God... The Green stans really didn't understand the story of the dance and the characters of Aegon II and Rhaenyra ! 😂

In the show, Aegon II does not take the throne to protect his family, but because he was forced to by Alicent. He has no interest in protecting his family, he even sought to flee Westeros in the first place, leaving his entire family behind.

In Fire and Blood, the idea that Aegon II took the throne solely for his family is just pro-Greens propaganda made by Maesters Eustace, easily spotted as false when we see Aegon II's behavior once he he has the crown on his head.

Rhaenyra, in the show, doesn't really want the crown, and primarily wants to protect the kingdom from the prophecy that essentially heralds the apocalypse.

Rhaenyra, in Fire and Blood, on the other hand, wants her crown and will fight for it, because... well it's her inheritance. She therefore has every right to claim it, knowing that in addition she was educated to fulfill this function of sovereign of Westeros, unlike Aegon II.

Rhaenyra, in Fire and Blood or HOTD is not the one who is power hungry.

At least not in the negative sense of the term, in relation to Fire and Blood (since in HOTD the women are pure innocents apparently not interested in power...) in a specific way (because once again, the crown belongs to Rhaenyra, it's not negative greed to want to keep and fight for what's yours, wanting power isn't inherently bad as far as it's concerned).

Because it is the Greens who embody this evil greed for power. It is already obvious from the color that represents this faction and the chaos that they cause and sow around them in this greed for the throne.

When will the fandom stop acting like Aegon is a little kid?

Did he wanted to become King? Not really, at least not before he was crowned. Yet, he accepted to be crowned and thus he also usurped his sister. He's partly responsible for the civil war that tears Westeros apart. He's not its biggest victim as some of his stans claim. Passively accepting to be crowned and remaining inactive when he could have handed his sister the crown and thus avoiding the war and the slaughter of innocents IS a choice of his.

spoiler if you havent read f&b!!

looking at the stills of rhaena and joffery in the next ep, i know his death is going to break her, thats her baby too now 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

Before Aemond and Laena, Vhagar’s rider was Prince Baelon.

Before Rhaenys, Meleys’ rider was Princess Alyssa.

Before Rook’s Rest, they were ridden side by side for decades by two people madly in love, then by mother and daughter.

Do you think, while Vhagar’s jaws were clamped shut around Meleys’ throat, that either of them wondered how they got there?

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.

"not all men-" you're right, jacaerys targaryen, heir to the iron throne, prince of dragonstone, the eldest son of queen rhaenyra targaryen and laenor velaryon, a dragonrider, would never treat me like this

Jace and Joffrey Velaryon: Seasons 1 & 2

God please triple their pain and give them no peace

alicent poisoned her children and fed them lies so they could hate rhaenyra and her children. alicent abused rhaenyra so badly she had to go away to dragonstone. alicent's own hatred is what caused her son to lose his eye. alicent helped her father and her son usurp the rightful heir to the throne. alicent's hatred is what caused aemond to go after luke and killing him. alicent is the root for all of rhaenyra's suffering and problems but she's still nice and pleasant enough with that woman? she should want her head on a spike but sure, 20 years ago they were friends and that explains why she would put her own life at risk to meet with that woman and somehow make peace terms with the party that ALREADY sent shitty peace terms wtf girl bye

Saying you hate team black because it has characters that do immoral things and then stanning team green and erasing Aegon being a rapist in your headcanons and fics is truly something, like how does cognitive dissonance not zap your brain every five seconds?

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 🥺

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.

I see so many people commenting on Aegon III and Viserys II’s decision not to officially declare their mother the Queen after the war.

For some strange reason, it’s regarded as sons spurning their mother, and not a true sacrifice of their beliefs in order to ensure peace and prosperity in the Realm after a terrible war.

Rhaenyra’s boys were all loyal to her and they loved her until the end. Not one of them declared her a pretender. In their hearts, they knew she had been the rightful Queen, but they agreed to a great injustice, they agreed to make peace with their enemies, just so the people wouldn’t suffer anymore.

Now, my question is this: if the roles were reversed, and the Greens had been the ones who won the war, would they have agreed to keep Rhaenyra’s title as “Queen” in histories for the sake of peace?

Not on your life.

And that is what makes the Blacks better than the Greens.

Me when people say that Aemond is a better fighter than Daemon and is going to kill him

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?

TG stans: Septon Eustace said Rhaenyra got cut by the throne! So she got cut!😡

He also said Aegon assaulted servants and Rhaenyra's kids were not bastards. So that's the truth too right?

if it wasnt clear before,

THIS BLOG IS TEAM BLACK AND WE RIDE FOR QUEEN RHAENYRA TARGARYEN, THE REALMS DELIGHT, FIRST OF HER NAME, QUEEN OF THE ANDALS, THE RHOYNAR AND THE FIRST MEN, LADY OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, PROTECTOR OF THE REALM

Joffrey throwing Lucerys’ toy into his funeral pyre so his big brother can take it with him into the afterlife 💔

Let's clear things up once and for all. The real canon is the books written by GRRM. George may have sold his soul to HBO, but HOTD is still nothing more than poorly written by Ryan and Sara fanfiction. The events that take place in the show are not truly canon. This is more like a filmed AU fanfic.

The real canon is:

Viserys loved Alicent.

Alicent and Rhaenyra were not friends.

Alicent was eighteen years old when she married Viserys. Viserys was not yet thirty at the time.

Helaena is not a dreamer.

Aegon the Usurper is not a depressed boy who was disliked by his parents.

Mysaria and Daemon had a child together who died before he was born.

Criston did not have sex with Rhaenyra or Alicent.

Laena was twenty-two years old when she married Daemon.

In order to become a dragon rider you need to have Valyrian blood in your veins.

Whether Daemon cheated on Rhaenyra or not, he never tried to usurp her or scheme behind her back.

Killing Luke and killing Jaehaerys were not misunderstandings or accidents.

When the war began, the people of the Riverlands immediately supported Rhaenyra, except for the Tully and Brackens. But the Tully were initially neutral, and then supported Rhaenyra, and the Brackens were looking for a reason to fight the Blackwoods.

Corlys eldest illegitimate son is Addam, not Alyn.

Vaemond is Corlys nephew, not his brother.

Rhaena Targaryen's dragon is the Morning, not the Sheepstealer.

Alys charms had no effect on Daemon.

Rhaenys Targaryen has black hair. Rhaenys was not present at the coronation of the Usurper, and she was the one who proposed to attack the capital with all the dragons that the Blacks have.

Daemon really killed Laenor.

After his wedding to Rhaenyra, Laenor lived almost all time in Driftmark.

Daenerys's dragon eggs were laid by Dreamfire, not Syrax.

The marriage of Laenor and Rhaenyra lasted six years, and Rhaenyra and Daemon ten years.

Daemon didn't kill Rhea.

Rhaenyra was never cheated on Daemon.

And as a special aside, Jaehaera Targaryen died before she was ten years old. She and Aegon III have no children together. And Daenerys Targaryen is not a descendant of Aegon III, but his younger brother Viserys II. I'm writing this because at least forty green fans of the show wrote to me who were smart enough to Google that the war would end with the marriage of Aegon and Jaehaera, but not smart enough to Google what would happen after.

According to the way they adapted Fire and Blood in House of the Dragon, we can probably expect some changes in Dunk and Egg:

Dunk is actually the long lost son of Daemon Blackfyre and Dornish Daenerys Targaryen (y'know because EVERYONE has to have their parents explained)

Egg will not be loyal to Dunk, he'll be a total scumbag

Maekar DID kill Baelor on purpose.

Before Baelor dies he whispers that Egg should be King and Dunk must immediately be named a Kingsguard.

Aerion will commit like one actrocity and then get a redemption arc.

Bloodraven and Bittersteel are estranged lovers (this could work) and all this is a bitter divorce

Bloodraven gets his info by selling feet pics. The trees told him that's how Alicent did it.

Shiera Seastar DOES actually eat children and bathe in blood.

Daeron the Drunken will take so much fantasy cocaine/LSD that the whole thing was actually all an acid trip

Daemon II Blackfyre will not serve cunt or camp.

The Blackfyre Rebellion? All happened in one big miscommunication Trope.

The dragons aren't dead, they're actually just finding themselves in the wilderness, you know? They're just really getting into their earthy crunch side.

Maekar Targaryen will do nothing all season. Just serve face and say offensive shit

The Dornish will be an integral part of the season. You will only know about it because of Behind the Episode.

Valarr Targaryen is a socialist and that is why they killed him off.

The mastermind behind all the Targaryen deaths? Baby Walder Frey.

Who really stole the dragon egg at Whitewalls? Time Travelling Penny in disguise.
