"To You, I'm Just A Man,

AEMOND WHAT THE HELL

New behind the scenes of House of the Dragon season 2

one day I’ll finally write that ridiculously elaborate fanfiction that I’ve been carefully constructing in my daydreams for months and then you’ll be sorry. you’ll all be sorry.

Maelor Targaryen and the Last Dragon

Did Maelors egg hatch into the last dragon?

I want to start off with who I think laid Maelors egg

I think it came from either Morghul and Shrykos mating or just Shrykos laying an egg

We know that Shrykos is female and the only way to know that a dragon is female is if they lay eggs meaning at some point she laid eggs

According to the artist who illustrated the "Storming of the Dragon Pit" from Rise of the Dragon, Shrykos is "copperish" while many think of copper as a orange-ish color it CAN be green and if you consider that the name Shrykos likely comes the creatures "Shrykes" who are said to be beings with green-scaled skin that is hint to Shrykos possibly being green

So this could mean that Morghul and Shrykos or just Shrykos laid an egg and that egg was given to their bonded's little brother Maelor, it should also be noted that Maelors egg is not described as a cradle but rather that he was just given an egg

Maelors dragon egg was also described, very rarely are eggs described in this series especially eggs that "don't matter" later, so rare in fact I can't currently think of one

The description for the egg is also similar with the description of the last dragon

"Maelor's egg was pale green with swirls of silver."

"The last dragon was a green female, who lived in Kings Landing. She was small and stunted, with withered wings."

They are both green meaning that her egg likely wouldve been green and his egg likely wouldve hatched into a green dragon

According to this interaction between a fan and Elio in 2014, we might learn more about Maelor in the Dunk and Egg series if it's ever completed, this is also the series that mentions the last dragon the most so that is possibly why we could find out more about him

This is just my theory on which egg the last dragon could've hatched from !! It's pretty short as we know so little about both characters but I thought it was pretty interesting so I hope you enjoyed <3

"Maelor does not yet exist on this timeline because 30 years is compressed into 20 years," says Condal in an interview. However, Aegon and Helaena would have already had Maelor because he was born before Rhaenyra was ever pregnant with Visenya and they still kept her part in the show. They gave Rhaenyra all the pain and grief of losing her children due to the actions of the greens. And they stripped away Helaena’s own grief and going mad because of b&c and what they made her do because team black can do no wrong. But I guess I’m forgetting that we aren’t supposed to be sympathetic to Team Green.

Bad news for me:

I'm out of work.

Good news for y'all:

I'm out of work!

Since I have a lot more time on my hands now until I can find another way to make money, perhaps even find a way to follow my dream of monetizing my writing, I can get back to publishing storys on here.

While I haven't been updating on here it's not because I stopped writing but mostly because I had redirected what little creative flow I had (after the trainwreck that was season 2) into writing scripts for my own version of House of the Dragon / Fire and Blood shows.

I currently do not plan to release those, at least not until S3 is out, but I have regained more motivation for writing so I'm back starting today.

I'll be releasing my teased one-shot "Broken Bonds | Maelor x f!highborn!reader x Aemond x Aegon" that I had teased A LONG time ago here tomorrow.

Don't hate me for the long wait please. Its just the first (and so far only) type of story that I have written like that. The latter half of it hits a sore spot in me and I struggle to continue writing and editing when I'm crying lol. That's why I usually just write horny storys or some drama.

But this story is one that I do want to share with others so I am now pushing myselt to stop re-editing it time and time again in an attempt to get it "perfect" and just post it. It will be the first thing to go online after I've finished editing and will be followed either by new Chapters of Mother's Madness or a new story called Redemotion (Maegor x f!noble!reader).

See you soon. Love y'all <3

House of the Dragon Review

The Good:

- Aegon and Tom Glynn Carney. Aegon is the one compelling character this season, and his arc is great. He tries to be a good King but can’t protect his son. He tries to get Alicent’s love, but can’t no matter what. He tries to save his people but he gets destroyed in the process. He trusts his brother who betrays him. And Tom acts with his whole heart and soul. They’re truly the only good this season and the only reason I’ll keep watching

- Larys, Matthew Needham, and his relationship with Aegon. Just *chef’s kiss* The best relationship on the show. So much manipulation but genuine growing fondness too. Can’t wait to see Tom and Matthew inevitably do press for season 3 together and talk about the relationship in depth

- Ramin’s score. He is the only thing that’s consistent through GOT and HotD

The Meh:

- Rhys Ifans is a great Otto, but they criminally underutilized them

- Rook’s Rest was an amazing episode but they still had Rhaenyra be the hero by giving her a “divine” reason to go to war

- Episode 1 also was meh because Blood and Cheese being botched ruined what would otherwise be a great episode

- Ep 2 is similar to Ep 1. LOVED the Green scenes and the Twin scene, but they had Rhaenyra feel bad about what happened which is SO out of character. I also don’t like the propaganda angle they took with Blood and Cheese with Otto

- Aemond becoming his book self was great, but it was done rushed and sloppily. They underutilized both Aemond and Ewan

- Phia and Helaena are also great but again, criminally underutilized

- Olivia is a fantastic actress, despite what they did to Alicent

- The Dragon seeds being burnt by Vermithor would be in the Good if they didn’t try to brush it off and still claim Rhaenyra’s innocent

- Daenon and Alys scenes were either incredible or a total snooze fest. No inbetween. They were repetitive and not all the Daemon haunted scenes were necessary. Matt and Gayle are great though

- Criston and Fabien are underutilized, especially post Rook’s Rest

The Bad:

- What they did to Alicent. It is unforgivable. They threw her character away in favor of Rhaenyra. They can’t stand the thought that a woman doesn’t worship Rhaenyra

- Everything with Team Black. This is not hyperbole. The scenes were dull, designed to sanitize them so they are the Good guys and destroy them in the process. The actors, I’m sorry to say, are not on the level of the Green actors. Even the better Black actors (Emma and Steve) have stiff moments through the season

- Sexual humiliation and degradation of the Greens. This isn’t the place to get into it, but people have talked about it elsewhere

- Sanitizing Rhaenyra still, even after episode 7 and trying to make her a hero

- Sanitizing Viserys. The man raped Alicent and abused his children that weren’t Rhaenyra. Why are the Greens holding him in high regard?

Overall, I’d say a 5/10. All it took was the show having Black centered episodes to descend into GOT season 8 levels, since the Green episodes are SIGNIFICANTLY better

For further review

Women Written by GRRM: Helaena Targaryen.

Meanwhile Helaena Targaryen written by Ryan Condal:

"Isn't it great writing and super feminist when a cunning and ambitious political influencial woman willing to do anything for her children gets adapted into a meek, politically inept character who praises her abuser and condemns her children, grandchildren, father and brother either to death and/or lifelong imprisonment for the sake of a woman she only had contempt for in the source material! ❤️❤️❤️"

That's what some of you guys sound like right now

The TEA is scorching!!!!!!

“this is worse than season 8.”

darlings. sweetlings. take my hands and look me in the eyes. nothing could be worse than game of thrones season 8 (2019).
