Spoiler!!!!! 2x08!!! Spoiler...don't watch it if you aren't ready for it
Dreamers amongst the awake 🌸
"Everything that is real was imagined first" - The velveteen rabbit . Helaena only met Acklyria Velaryon when she was bethrothed to her elder brother, but through the harshness of war, the women were able to guide each other into a gentle security blanket made with knits of their love.
Whats a sin in times of war? 🥀
"I am a dreamer, neither lost nor found, waiting for a story, worth dreaming forever." - Ventum . A young septa becomes a confidant in Helaena after her wedding, they become closer as moons pass and soon the septa would know Helaena better then she knew herself.
A sweet village🐛🌸
"You can always tell about someone by the way they put their hands on an animal" - Unknown. Helaena deserved the war no more than a healthy butterfly deserved being stepped on. Alicent would not subject her daughter to something so cruel, so she contacted a friend of her fathers and found contacts for a small village that would keep her safe. Helaena knew what was to come for her not long after she'd arrived, but she'd no idea how to interpret it.
A dreamer and a wolf🥀🌸
"Quote to be determined" Au where only Helaena and Jaehaera survive the war in the greens side. They are taken in by Rhaenyra as an act of goodwill. Helaena and her daughter are sent to Winterfell for protection, and while there, she meets and falls in love with Rosemund Stark, Cregans only duaghter.

Riot | 2x6
"Helaena does not ride. She has no taste for it". That one line summarizes so many issues with the writing of Helaena (and even Alicent) this season. Women in this show who get in Rhaenyra's way are not allowed to want ANYTHING! Rhaenyra has been presented as the just, equal, rightful ruler so of course they can't risk her looking bad by maybe presenting us the perspective of another woman, a dragonrider who claimed the mount of a previous Targaryen queen, who tragically lost a son because of the war, who was a beloved queen by the smallfolk, whose council was listened to by her husband the king, and, most importantly, never suggested (in the book) that Aegon back down from his claim, only that he should pursue a peaceful resolution before going to war. Queen Helaena's death sparked the uprising of Kings Landing that would lead to Rhaenyra's own downfall and death. Helaena baby you deserved so so so much better than this. She deserved a proper coronation, she deserved to grieve her son, she deserved to ride her beloved Dreamfyre, and we should have seen her struggles and triumphs of being queen in a time of war. Aegon even declared that only his mother and wife be honored and recognized as the two legitimate queens during the dance 😭 This show did her so dirty and i will never forgive them 💚💙🩵💛
aemond, to helaena, while lying face down on his bed and regretting everything: and then i called him dad.
criston, to alicent, crying tears of joy: and then he called me dad!
