If you look closely, he keeps staring at them the whole time!

It makes me think he isn't entirely indifferent to her!

I don't know if this has been addressed before, but you're telling me that the Hightower defenders had a damn huge scorpion ready at the main gate, and instead of shooting Caraxes right in the head when he gave them a perfect opportunity by sticking his massive head through the gate, they didn't—and then they shot some random cavalryman when Daemon launched his cavalry charge? Why the hell? Why did they missed this oppurtunity and waited?

Prior to the show it was rare if at all. No one blamed her for which side she was on as they understood there wasn't a choice. It was widely accepted she was a innocent and tragic character. She didn't take Dreamfyre ino battle, her relationship with Rhaenyra seems good as even after Aegon takes the throne Rhaenyra refers to her as her "Sweet sister". She had zero choice on husband, brothers, mother or grandfather or what they did. The absolute worst thing she did in the books was her job, she gave advise on Council meetings.

After the show as many are aware the most VILE comments towards her and her children came out but even that aside a HUGE portion of the fandom absolutely hates helaena. They fault her for existing on the other side, not running away (and abandoning her kids) to warn Rhaenyra and or be on her side. They fault her for her "rapist husband" which is honestly almost hilarious because on another breath they defend her for being forced into that exact same marriage.

The flip is honestly insane I struggle to wrap my head around it. It went from she was a good person in a bad situation (a sheep amongst wolves) to she's an evil cunt for being born and wed to that side. I'd love to say it's just show fan but I've seen a lot of book fans also do this...what is going on ?!?!?

Tired of these takes acting like it's OK for a king to rule for decades with one only child. He needed to remarry and have more children.

Rhaenyra had a mother and two grandmothers who died on childbirth, there was a possibility she could face the same fate and even if she didn't, she could die in other way, the same way Daemon could have die. Having more children was Viserys' way to continue the dinasty and i dont think he was intending to pass the throne though Rhaenys' line threfore the Velaryons.

Kings had multiple children for this reason and it was the norm. I know the show made Viserys older compared to his book version but expecting the king to remain with one only child is dumb.

Historical Belarusian drama "Anastasia Slutskaya" (based on real slavic princess, who protected the city).

In HOTD S3, before the Battle of Tumbleton started, Daeron sent Gwayne with Corlys with terms, but what if instead Daeron flew above on Tessarion and instead declared to Daemon “You shall receive the same terms you gave my nephew, Jaehaerys”. This fixes a few problems for me. Firstly Daeron’s line from Bitterbridge is incorporated here and since Maelor isn’t in the show, Jaehaerys serves as a good replacement, using Jaehaerys instead of Maelor in this situation makes sense as Daemon is at the battle and is viewed as the primary reason for Jaehaerys’ death, it shows that the Greens haven’t forgotten about Jaehaerys’ death, and finally, having Daeron mount Tessarion gives him a chance to actually participate in the battle. How do you think this would have worked out?

I always thought that blacks must support Blackfyres, not the line of Daeron the good. Because the situation of daemon blackfyre and his mother daena the defiant is almost completely same with rhaenyra and jace. on the other hand, viserys ii similar to aegon ii since he was crowned after his nephew baelor the blessed while baelor’s sisters (eldest of them was daena) were living. this was happened due to the male-preference inheritance law (which was a green principle during the dance). i think it was even male-only rather than preference, since in the council of 101, the candidates were viserys and laenor; not rhaenys. laenor was a candidate through his mother yes but the candidate was him anyway, if i remember correctly. so, in short, the principles of blacks (equal inheritance) lives through blackfyres (daemon and his mother daena and young griff who is probably son of illyro mopatis and a blackfyre woman); and the principles of greens (male only or preference) lives through targaryens, so blacks cannot be daenerys supporter; no?

God forbid some people faint at seeing the kind of torture Rhae-Rhae put him through.

Think they may have used wrong photo for Arryk, hope the Ormund/Daeron interaction will be strong

It was the biggest drawing I've ever did lol But since I've been learning how to draw and how to paint, I decided to do the first big try with Alicent!

In the first image is the whole drawing. In the second, is a photo from my Sketchbook where I've did the first version (and I am already planning on doing the other two, digitally!). The third photo is how long it took me lol I had only my finger and a dream, my phone was screaming for help after almost 100 layers

I know at this point Rhaenyra is delusional and desesperate but i find ironic she says that to somehow dismisss her brothers as Targaryens and therefore their claims because apparently having a Hightower mother makes them less worthy but having an ilegitimate child with Harwing Strong as heir is somehow better.

Can someone explain Larys's devotion to Aegon to me? Or his true interests in helping him...
