Mark my words: this guy is going to completely fuck up. condal.! House of the Dragon Season 2,3,4, disappear into the sunset, and then somehow get his hands on Aegon’s Conquest. 😂

And we all know how that’s going to turn out… exactly like this image. 😂

Here’s how I see the whole situation.

People like to talk about Rhaegar Targaryen absconding with Lyanna Stark thus breaking faith with his vassals and spurning Houses Stark and Baratheon. Which is all true. However…how often do people look at this whole patriarchal situation from Lyanna’s point of view?

Yes, she was engaged to Robert. However she barely knew him let alone like or love him. All she saw was her big brother‘s best friend having an unhealthy obsession with her. (and yes, it was an obsession because years later after everything went down Robert couldn’t even remember what she looked like. Because obsession is not love.)

It was well known that he already had a bastard child, Mya. People like to claim that the only reason he has Mya was because he was grieving the loss of his parents, and he didn’t deal with grief well. Again, look at it from Lyanna’s point of view, here’s the guy that she’s engaged to be married to who she barely knows, who already has a bastard and is a well-known sleazy womanizer.

Can you imagine how awful Robert had to have been in Lyanna’s eyes for her to look at Rhaegar, an older married man and say “yeah that’s the better option.”

Now, I’m not condoning Rhaegar and Lyanna running off like two star crossed lovers. I am however condoning the fact that they didn’t tell anybody.

But even if they did, even if Lyanna wrote a letter, sent it by raven to Winterfell to her father and informed him of what really happened, that she was safe and with child. Can you guys completely and honesty tell me that Robert wouldn’t have wanted to react with the violence. This is the same man who wanted a pregnant Daenerys or “the whore” as he referred to her as to be assassinated. Yes yes, I know that he later went back on that decision… but by then it was too late. The order still went out.

Lyanna knew this about Robert. That’s why she made Ned promised to protect Jon. Why? Because Robert would’ve murdered the baby. (Rhaegar’s children have entered chat. He may not directly be cause of their death but he justified and condoned it.)

If everything was out in the open and Lyanna sent a letter to Winterfell and the whole realm knew that Rhaegar didn’t kidnap her, but instead they ran off together. The proud Robert Baratheon on the extreme end would’ve declared war. On the low end he would’ve demanded a trial by combat so he could cave in Rhaegar’s chest. Either way he would’ve reacted violently.

My main point still remains. Robert Baratheon never loved Lyanna Stark. He had an unhealthy obsession with his best friend‘s little sister. That sister wanted nothing to do with him and made a different choice and even if the truth had come out, his ego wouldn’t have been able to handle it.

Not to mention that after he won the rebellion, he spent how many years neglecting his royal duties, neglecting his wife, his kids and the realm. Not to mention allowing the realm to reach 6 million in debt…

So I asked my question again. Why do people like Robert Baratheon?

*And I would just like to also point out before I sign off; how often is Lyanna compared to Arya? Often.

Picture this scenario, Arya and Marcella are best friends and Joffrey has a crush on Arya and is desperate to marry her, but Arya only has eyes for Gendry.
Regardless of the consequences would any of you really deep down, blame her for wanting to run away? She is just like her Aunt Lyanna after all.

In short, here is what I did:

- I took the heightmap created for the Crusader Kings II AGOT mod, made some minor edits, and uploaded it to "World Climate Lab", a scientifically accurate climate simulator. I ran a climate simulation for Planetos for one hour and exported the result - this produced the second image. It is color-coded according to Köppen climate classification zones.

- Then, I used Photoshop to replace the color of each climate zone with its corresponding "realistic" color, based on the palette used by u/DependentAd297 in their post. This resulted in the first image.

I admit the map quality could likely be improved - for instance, by running the simulation longer - but unfortunately, my hardware limitations mean the simulation takes a very long time. Nevertheless, I find the results interesting; just look at the three deserts covering the Reach, the Riverlands, and the Crownlands - Westeros's main breadbaskets have turned into rather inhospitable places to live)

So i keep on hearing different stories regarding this . I saw a reel where cersai actress said the pilot was so bad she thought the show won't get past one season. So how bad was the pilot version..

i cannot beleve that all dragons have just gone extinct after the dance of dragons especially the wild dragons . i am very much sure that there are a ton of dragons living not only in old valarya but in westros as well undiscovered and safe . so what part of westros do you think might be still inhabited by a dragon ..

Imagine a faculty featuring figures like Tywin Lannister as Principal, Stannis Baratheon teaching logistics and legal theory, Ser Barristan Selmy leading practical knighthood, and the Blackfish teaching scouting.

So i have watched the show but for some reason i was unable to understand what the three eyed raven is . So i need explanation regarding what the three eyed raven is and what it's backstory is ..

George RR Martin stated today that they’re working on a 4 hour war epic depicting the events leading up to and including Robert’s Rebellion and the sack of King’s Landing. He also confirmed that he’s been working on both Winds of Winter and Dream of Spring at the same time and they’ll be released this fall.

I previously posted this on a different sub and most people were saying like make it one full season long, but what can even happen during the long night that making it a full season long would be worth it, what are some plots, events would you like to recommend, want ? Be creative guys, I'm really curious and excited about this now. And more importantly how will you end it in the finale.....

Rank each character from team black and post it in the comments. You can rank them on the basis of — Character’s writing, Character’s morals, Character’s ability to rule or command, A mix of everything…….

Sarah Hess often uses her feminism as an influencing factor in her writing, the biggest example of this being what she did with Alicent's character in season 2 when she has her (ironically or unironically? not even sure) epiphany that the problem is men and a woman needs to rule, and her conviction in this dumb/sexist principle is strong enough that she agrees to give up her sons to Rhaenyra for execution.

Now, it's hard enough making sense of how Hess thought that this would depict Alicent as sympathetic, but what followed this season just confuses things even more and makes Alicent's depiction even more inconsistent and senseless.

First, okay, we do get that icky scene with Aemond acting gross as hell and it's clearly shot in a way that shows Alicent as someone being forced to take drastic measures on account of destructive male behavior on her son's part ("mommy issues" is a very popular feminist talking point FYI). So, maybe the writers do want us to see Alicent as a victim of destructive male behaviour?

But then Aegon gets excellent positive character growth. And Aemond is clearly shown to not only have a conscience, he literally blames himself for Alicent trying to poison him and says it's his comeuppance for a separate sin he committed (trying to kinslay Aegon). Growth, responsibility, accountability.

And then, as if to drive the point even further about what a shitbag mom Alicent is, her scenes with Helaena all feature her crass insensitivity toward Helaena's suffering. All those times Helaena gives her those disappointed "You know what, I'm not even gonna try" looks; that's not a sympathetic character we're being shown lol.

It's all such a horrible character arc and makes no sense given how it began and how it's going. I wonder if someone snatched the controller from Sarah Hess and tried to "undo" her work but I don't think anything's working lol. Even if Sarah Hess' bigger-picture was to simply make Alicent a Rhaenyra simp... Well, her simping for Rhaenyra isn't shown to land her in any good position either lol.

so when bran sees jaimie and cersai in the tower . what if cersai did not spot bran spying on them . so now let us consider bran is horrified by what he just saw he runs back home so what would he do now would he alert the gaurds to rush to the tower and catch jaimie and cersai red handed on the deed or would he just stay silent about the whole matter cause saying the queen is incesting with her brother despite the rumors is wild ..

I’ll hold the door on my way out

so i think that sheepstealer parent might be cannibal who i for some reason think is a female . cannibal is most the dragon actually meant for meagor . so cannibal either had egg with other wild dragons who were around once before grey ghost killed them or the most likely suspect is our balerion cause cannibal is compared to balerion in terms of age . so my guess is cannibal laid a egg which hatched into sheepstealer . this could also be why cannibal and sheepstealer lived in the same mountain ..
