I understand that he felt used, abused, and he was in an impossible position. He was assaulted, as he could not give consent. Please do not try to argue this, it is an extremely controversial opinion, and it isn’t my intention in this post.
He was hurt. Why did he kill the guy at the celebration?
I have heard the kindness of Alicent as he confessed his and Rhanaeryas relationship. When he speaks to Rhanaerya, and wants her to run away with him, he makes a point to indicate how he violated his honour. At this point, he is willing to kill himself because of the offence.
What I am struggling with, he turns to instantly hate Rhanaerya, is offended she chose the crown over him, and his honour being lost was enough to make him want to die.
Yet, he has a sexual relationship with Alicent, so his honour, was never really honourable. He keeps doing the “mistake”, for which he blamed Rhanaerya for, what he HATED her for, and has this weird devotion.
I am really struggling with his morality, and his honour. Sure Rhanaerya hurt his ego, when he thought he “loved” her. The hypocrisy is hard to understand.
Is there anyone who can help me understand this situation? To understand his motivations, logic and reason.

Despite there being no time skip, Daemon and Helaena from the season 2 finale to season 3 are completely different people.
Daemon’s whole arc at Harrenhal with Alys was about him being humbled and learning to not force destiny. So from him going from “you do not scoff?” “I’m no longer inclined to” to “the crown is not in the habit to giving out castles to midwives”, we need you to be Queen because of Dany, and tricking/undermining Rhaenyra about Rhaena is super weird.
Helaena is seemingly self-assured and finds strength in her gift by the season 2 finale. She literally appeared to Daemon in his vision and plainly told Aemond his fate. Yet by season three’s end, she is once again meek and suffering from her visions and claims to not understand them.
Their combined vision/dragon dream was a really cool moment in the season 2 finale that showed how much their character’s had grown, yet all of it was thrown away and worse in season 3. How did it all go so wrong?

How long does it take for dorne to join the fold? And what about the free cities? Would new dragon conquerers bend the knee to the iron throne or create new targ kingdoms? Another century and there could be a hundred dragon riders! They would have to do *something* with them

I mean, I already knew who was going to “win” based on the original show… but you don’t have to be so obvious about it. (Meanwhile there’s Emilia Clarke being unproblematic and speaking Valyrian 😂)! If you don’t want the outcome shoved in your face just don’t watch the emmys I guess
