"Sansa's Wedding"

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.

Queens at Dragonstone

🐺❄️

I love Barristan, he rly is Ser Grandpa in the best possible way.

I feel so bad for him like bro deserved to life in a better world, he's not perfect and is definitely a product of his environment but his heart is in the right place. I also think about how he's interestingly contrasted w the other shitter Queensguard. "What did she look like, your Lady Lynesse?"

Ser Jorah smiled sadly. "Why, she looked a bit like you, Daenerys." He bowed low. "Sleep well, my queen."

ACOK - Daenerys I

Even after all these years, Ser Barristan could still recall Ashara's smile, the sound of her laughter. He had only to close his eyes to see her, with her long dark hair tumbling about her shoulders and those haunting purple eyes. Daenerys has the same eyes. Sometimes when the queen looked at him, he felt as if he were looking at Ashara's daughter…

ADWD - The Kingbreaker

They both see their former love in Dany but importantly Barristan sees Dany as Ashara's child whereas Jorah sees Lynesse herself. AND that's why Jorah is a creepy ped0phile and Barristan is a compassionate surrogate grandpa whomst we like.

I'm Jorah's strongest hater.

If Jorah has million haters, then I'm one of them. If Jorah has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE. If Jorah has no haters, that means I'm dead.

I'm tired of people saying that the Greens started the war for their own survival, all while insisting that they are talking about HOTD and not Fire and Blood, except that even in HOTD it is simply a matter of acidity of power and misogyny. Literally, Otto says it in episode 3. Gotta stop the bullshit after a while. And daring to say that Rhaenyra taking the throne doesn't help women in general in Westeros, when... well it does. That’s the point of a fucking precedent. Stop trying to twist everything to fit your bullshit logic. I'm tired of coming across arguments from Green stans.

What i thought we'd get with alicent being Rhaenyra's age and "friend"":

An ambitious young woman who befriended the princess to be in the upper echelons of society and close to the crown/crown princess in order to manipulate her/be closer to viserys in order to manipulate his feelings before/after aemma in order to become queen and work hard and use the secrets/insecurities she discovered as the princess' best friend/lady in waiting against rhaenyra in order to have her son crowned king one day

What we got: a bland, boring 2D character with no agency or goals or ambitions who hides the fact her son his a rapist, who insists she's the victim of the story and chalks everything up to an unfortunate accident cause she's never done anything wrong ever and only ever been used by everyone in her life 🙄 (this is sarcasm i loathe show alicent more than any other asoiaf character)

naerys & daeron ii

“If the gods were kinder… would you wed me instead?”

Laena and Rhaenyra discussing Laena’s betrothal to the Braavosi sealord’s son and Nyra’s to Laenor :( I VOWED to make 2025 my year and I AM TRYINGGGGGG (literally crashed out multiple times doing multiple drawings) please save me…

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.

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.
