#Daemon:[Face]

Okay...now...hold on....

[grimmbunniee]

Not to sound like a bitch or anything but why is every HOTD oc the same person. Her name is always Aemma/Visenya Velaryon or some god awful made up Valaryian name. Her dad is never Laenor but instead ser harwin, Daemon, or sometimes Cristion coke. Her lover is always Aemond(Cregan stark is also in love with her too). Aemond ends up defecting to team black and your oc and him win the war. She also rides cannibal or has claimed more than one dragon(you’ll never be Daenerys Targaryen you can’t out do the doer).

(Don’t get me started on how some of y’all will write Rhaenrya as this god awful stereotypical boy mom. When Rhaenyra has always wanted a daughter would spoil the living daylights out of her little girl, no matter who the father was)

Daemon, Iniquidaemon

"Funky Leopard" © Allison Theus, accessed at her ArtStation here

[Presented in the spirit of the times.]

Daemon, Iniquidaemon CR 12 NE Outsider (extraplanar) This creature resembles a leopard, but its anatomy does not follow either biology or sanity. It has six limbs, the middle pair of which are elongated and fold against the beast’s side, and all are tipped with eagle-like, grasping talons. It has five jaws that open radially, which part to reveal muscular tongues tipped with meat hooks. Its eyes glimmer with cruel, appraising intelligence.

The iniquidaemon is the daemon of ideology. It delights in fanning the flames of self-destructive ideas that leave communities fractured and lives ruined, using honeyed words and magic to convince people to turn on each other. Countries besieged by an iniquidaemon are noted for the presence of mutilated, faceless bodies, as well as the insistent and continued denial of its members that a similar fate could ever happen to them. The iniquidaemon’s presence may even be well known, but its supernatural abilities leave most people thinking of the presence of a face-eating leopard monster as completely mundane.

An iniquidaemon prefers to have other creatures fight for it most of the time. They stoke hatred and dissent to create angry mobs, turn protectors against those they would protect, and make rulers contemptuous of their subjects and subjects apathetic to their rulers’ cruelties. They often disseminate disinformation in disguise, assuming the appearance of a public figure in order to spread lies and propaganda. Against a party of adventurers, iniquidaemons turn allies into enemies with their spell-like abilities, disrupting squad tactics easily. When they decide to start getting their claws dirty, they behave much like the big cats they resemble, pouncing and clawing at a single target. Their grotesque mouths and tongues tug at the soul as much as they do flesh, and creatures who succumb to their maw have their souls sent to Abaddon to be hunted and devoured by other daemons.

Iniquidaemons do not trust each other, knowing the treachery and deceit that accompanies their every thought and deed, but are excellent at ingratiating themselves to other daemons. They often ally with yagnodaemons and cavillodaemons, the three working together as a unit to impose idiotic cruelty onto a realm and crush anyone who fights back. They may work for the cults of all four Horsemen, and many harbingers as well, although their true allegiance usually lies elsewhere. Most iniquidaemons are loyal only to themselves and to Caracalla, their creator, who shaped them with the goal of spreading the gospel of profit above all.

Special Abilities Charisma Drain (Ex) A creature bitten by an iniquidaemon must succeed a DC 23 Will save or take 1d6 points of Charisma drain. The save DC is Charisma based. Consign Soul (Su) Any creature reduced to 0 Cha by an iniquidaemon’s bite attack has their soul consigned to Abaddon, no matter their alignment. Attempts to return that creature from the dead must succeed a DC 23 caster level check, or the spell fails and the creature remains dead. Unremarkable Aspect (Su) Any creature that sees an iniquidaemon in its natural form must succeed on a DC 23 Will save, or think of its presence as completely innocuous. Any hostile actions by the iniquidaemon or its allies against a creature or its allies break the effect for that creature. The save DC is Charisma based.

alicent is a “childbride at 15” and suddenly her growth is stunted forever and she can’t be held accountable for her actions but luke was “nearly a man” when he died at 13 so therefore he deserved to die and has to answer for the “sin” of taking his uncles eye out? mkay.

“Everything with Daemon is basically connected to his brother,” Smith says. “I think his grief over [losing] his brother unfolded him, really.” The scenes between Daemon and Viserys revisit the traumatic events of the recent past. In the first, Viserys disinherits his brother and banishes him from the kingdom, just as he did in the series’ premiere. But unlike in the original sequence, the hallucinatory encounter allows Daemon to see the toll the confrontation took on Viserys. He watches the king, a man already grieving the death of his wife and newborn son, undergo an emotional breakdown. “Daemon was only seeing it as a thing that was done to him,” says Hess. “He wasn’t really taking in how crushed Viserys was and how hard it was for him. It broke his heart that all this stuff had happened.”

Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon [Season 2]: Inside the Dawn of the Targaryen Civil War

[syndrossi]

Wait wait wait. Willam isn’t even twenty five??! I though he was like… at least 30. That poor man! He should be at the club, not fighting for his life and sanity against the devil (author) and all their minions (us readers).

Nah, the poor fella is maybe 22-23? He's a few years older than Allard, who is... *checks* 18 right now. So I think that's about right. Alas, such a young age to never know peace again.

[daemon-is-perfectly-unhinged]

Viserys: Anything you say in the next 30 seconds is free, starting now.

Jon: I think you're a hypocrite, selfish, inactive, controlling, always taking my father for granted--

Viserys: But--

Jon: I still have 22 more seconds and I'M NOT DONE.

[horroryolks]

Poor Alicent, who has always permitted the men around her to control her life. To uphold the 'order of things,' (aka particarchy) only to be relegated to a back seat once more.

Watching her realize that all the sins shes commited to keep a small group of powerful men happy has been for nothing must be soul crushing.

Anyways.... When she watched Aemond being chosen as regent, perhaps she was thinking about her last conversation with Rhaenys.

And yet you toil still in service to men...

Daemon Targaryen in Hotd 2x04

[phoenixwithapencil]

You ever think about how the Kings of Yore are nearly exclusively remembered in full, faceless, often nearly inhuman battle regalia, weapon in hand?

What were their names? Not their titles. Their names.

[atopvisenyashill]

that arianne chapter reconvinced me of that theory that the rest of dorne Does Not Fuck With House Dayne Anymore, like, to the rest of Westeros Arthur is a shining example of chivalry and knightly ideals, but Dorne is like “Lewyn had to be blackmailed into fighting for Rhaegar, where the fuck were you when Elia and the babies were slaughtered you useless binch?!” i just think even the other characters do not take gerold dayne even a little serious, they all are aware he’s skilled but it feels like they’re laughing at him behind his back and he knows it.

[howboutitryanyway]

a dumb sketch of a screencap for an excuse to ramble about daemon!AU Invincible.

Debbie's is a least weasel named Bertilak. Mongoose didn't fit and somehow I ended up on the wiki page for weasels, and the fact there are several mythical beasts only they can kill made me go yes. Plus as a hilarious knife twist, the females raise their young alone lol Bertilak is the name of the Green Knight from mythology, who tests folks worthiness : ) She calls him Bert a lot, which he tolerates, and calls him Bertie when drunk, which he does not.

Nolan's is a dung beetle, or sacred scarab, named Undine. When I think uber strong types, I think of insects for the shear scaleage of strength. Plus like, 'big person has big daemon' is just yawn fest to me. These beetles are also associated with transformation, which is that fuck's whole thing. And some dung beetle's navigate by the light of the milky way. SPACE. They also rob each other, which is peak viltrumtie bs tbh Undine is a kind of water spirit that can die if the person they fall in love with is unfaithful : )

Mark's is a black dog named Alba. Who has more golden retriever energy than Mark? Besides, in the His Dark Material's universe, all servants have dog daemons, and I love the themes of great heroes needing to be servants to the people/society they want to protect and not benevolent overlords. Black dogs are also guardians of the dead/omens of death. Alba means dawn, I believe? I like her symbolizing newness, which Mark is to the universe.

If I had a nickel for every time Matt Smith has played a character that has sex with their mother, I’d have two nickels.

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it has happened twice.

[danytheconqueror-jonthewhitewolf]

Me when people say that Aemond is a better fighter than Daemon and is going to kill him
