Joffrey throwing Lucerys’ toy into his funeral pyre so his big brother can take it with him into the afterlife 💔
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.
I just knew they were going to delete daemon taking KL for rhaenyra , I just knew it .
Now it’s alicent’s plan and work that got rhaenyra KL and put her on the throne not daemon’s
This show is a joke
as someone who was adopted i HATEEE the conversation surrounding the velaryon kids because i never felt like I really fit in (through no fault of my adoptive family, I just had issues after being shuttled around the foster system), I always felt like I wasn't as good as my mums "real" (biological) family, I never felt like I was truly her daughter, I was genuinely surprised to see i was given an equal share in her will as my sisters, the idea these kids aren't really laenors and not really rhaenys and corlys' family and have no right to family echoes so much of how I felt. and it's not even my own feelings anymore. People have been saying it for 2 years. I cant enjoy this fandom without seeing people questioning whether or not they should be considered part of the targ family.
and yeah I know its fiction but this series isn't made as an escape, its a commentary. which is why so much is based off current politics and historical conflicts. its made to reflect the real world. and all I see is my own feelings of inadequacy reflected.
(on anon because I don't want to be attacked by rabid TG fans)
It took me a while to organize my thoughts to answer and I still don't think this is a good enough answer
But I think this all comes from that believe that an adopted child can't be as loved as a biological one
That's why they think that Daemon hates the Velaryon boys or that Laenor's side of the family has no right to mourn Lucerys
Add a sprinkle of resentment to that mix because TG (who are the picture of a nuclear family) are constantly betraying each other, and TB (who are messy as fuck ngl) are a united front
And you have bastardphobia at its finest
The Velaryon boys are all amazing and very loved, so those who hate them can only use their parentage as justification for their hatred towards them, using bastard as an insult
They forget that this shit affects real people, that their "uh they are not a real family because they are not related 😵💫" affects real people who "unluckily" don't have a nuclear family with a biological mom and a biological dad
when her bloodline literally led to the prince that was promised and people still fix their mouths to say her nasty half brother was the true king
Where my anti-rhanicent girlies at cause I’m sick of seeing this shit on my feed 🥱
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.
Aegon IVs top 10 most iconic moments:
10. Naming those hills “Barba’s Teets” and then renaming them “Missy’s Teets” when Barba insults Missy’s breast size.
9. Trying to invade Dorne only to not even make it to shore because his whole fleet was wrecked by a storm.
8. Burning down 1/4 of the Kingswood and killing hundreds of people while trying to build wooden dragons for his Dornish invasion. Then immediately giving up on invading Dorne and pretending like nothing happened.
7. Showing up at Whitewalls, impregnating Lord Butterwell’s 3 daughters, and giving him a dragons egg as a reward.
6. Gifting Blackfyre to his bastard son Daemon.
5. Killing his father, Viserys II, thereby robbing the realm of potentially the best king it may have ever seen.
4. Creating Bloodraven.
3. Helping Daena escape the Maidens’ Vault and impregnating her, thereby both creating Daemon Blackfyre and also indirectly causing Baelor the Blessed to kill himself.
2. Spreading rumors that Daeron is his brother’s bastard just to undermine his own heir purely out of spite.
1. Legitimizing all his bastards on his death bed so he can keep being everyone’s problem for another 80 years.
lmao so GRRM's notablog post criticizing Ryan Condal's writing choices has apparently now been deleted. 💀 the girls are fightinggg
"I have no idea what Ryan has planned, if indeed he has planned anything." 💅
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?
