I don’t understand when people try to argue that Team Black isn’t the feminist option because Rhaenyra upholds the patriarchy in some ways, i.e. not trying to end male progeniture.

Like sorry that the woman living in a ragingly misogynistic medieval society isn’t trying to install 21st century feminism. Rhaenyra was usurped and her loved ones killed for the baby step progress of “kings can declare female heirs if they want”, and y’all expected her to push for MORE??? That’d have lost her the support that she had from those who sided with her because they agreed Viserys’ word was law. Her being queen is still an advancement for women in Westeros, it’s called setting a PRECEDENT and taking an important step towards equality you absolute dumbasses.

for modern au nyra and aegon, I feel it’d either be “gay thot son daughter and the worst weeknd fan in the world” or like roman and shiv succession. like personality and aesthetic wise

Alicent cannot fathom Aegon breaking free from her and Otto’s control even once he’s king and has the power to do so because she never really tried to break free from Otto, despite absolutely having the time, power and resources to do so.

As often happens in abusive families, Alicent and Otto seem to forget that Aegon is human being completely separate from them, and their ideas and wants - just as Otto assumes that Alicent’s desires are the same as his, or that they at least should be. It’s obvious in 1x09 that neither of them even considered the possibility that Aegon might not play along and by the time reality hits them in s2 they’ve already started a war to make him king and they cannot un-make him.

To quote Tyrion Lannister, “It’s hard to put a leash on a dog once you’ve put a crown on its head.”

Or more aptly, to quote Daenerys Targaryen “a dragon is not a slave.”

forgot i made this

Just realized that I could make a better map for Westeros than I could for the US. I’ve lived here my entire life and I can barely tell you where DC is but I could point out King’s Landing without even looking at the map.

“Every tragedy that happens in the world happens to my mother”

[killpilled]

i think it's very funny that the green children are written as an attention-seeking waster, a tragic cassandra figure and a maniacal anime villain and the black children are. the big one with brown hair. the small one with brown hair. dead. and those two girls

House Targaryen circa. 135 After Conquest

The next generation of Targaryens per Kass_tanie's 'Red Flame Dragon Empress', drawn with inspiration from @littlest-gemini's family tree and busts.

Both are really Great, this is your sign to check them out!

unnecessary details under cut

Okay, waaay too much thought went into this.

I didn't want to draw characters who had actors because that would be in my head, making them look as close to the real life people, and as the story is Show Canon more than book, I would not be able to get the faces out of my head. Also I was only really interested in the kids. (I called them 6, 3, 2, and Corwyn as I was writing this out, based on group size)

Now, Kass_tanie has graciously given physical descriptions in the notes of one of their chapters, describing which kids have whose eyes and hair of Rhaenyra and Alicent's kids but other than some passing details, the rest are mostly assumed. But everyone's related so I had to decide what was similar between the kids.

Which I put into categories, Alicent/Rhaenyra/Velaryan/Pentos, and what was being separated? Eyes (Color went with shape), Nose, and Ears.

I gave each group their own shade of purple but let them all have the same Live Action White Hair.

Corwyn and the 3 siblings(Laena's) had the same Nose because Laenor and Laena were siblings.

Helaena was described as looking just like Rhaenyra but with Alicent's coloring and Aelyie was described as looking just like Rhaenyra but with Alicent's Hair Texture. So they have the most similarities.

Daeron and Haerrold are twins but they took after different moms, even still I tried to give them the same head shape and Ears.

Ironicly Aemon ended up as the most Alicent-facing child with her Hair, Nose, and Ears.

If you look you can see what each person shares with different people in their family! There's also outliers, like Corwyn's Lannister Green Eyes and the 2 siblings' (Daemon's) Pentos Nose.

I gave Daemon's kids longer faces as thats how I imagined Daemon and Matt Smith does have a thin face...

I also gave the 6 (Rhaenicent) darker-than-pale skin tones since its mentioned 'the Essos Sun darkened the skin' of the characters like Alicent, Rhaenyra, and their Sworn Dad-Knight.

I also had to go back to see how each character was described and if they had a hairstyle. Corwyn is said to look just like Corlys, Rhaena is described as having shaved sides and a "Man's Bun". Aegon (3) is described with braides and thankfully Aelyrie is said to have two braids. Thats how I saw her in my head, little Pippin Longstocking. The rest I got from the Family Tree we get in the later chapters. I also spent days attempts several hairpieces and accessories but God I could not get them to work. The only one to survive was Helaena's headband type deal but I could not detail it. I also experimented with tiny details, like the Edges design on Aegon (3) or Daena's braids being hearts or Aemon and Helaena having more copper highlights because I wanted them to have redder hair.

The color of words was decided based on Alliance. Aemma and Viserys have no side. Laenor is Velaryan but also Targaryen so Red in Blue, Laena, symbolic of her life now, has the same colors but inverted. She's a Targaryen now but they'll always be siblings. Daemon is the "Black Team" so he uses more black than red, the opposite of Laena's Targaryen kids. Rhaenyra is the 'Golden One' so she's Targaryen red encased in Gold, just like her wife. But their kids are inverted, raised in Tolos but now they're Playing the Game as Targaryens. And they each use different shades because they're different flavors of Targaryen. The Red in Daemon's is different than the Red in Rhaenyra's which is different than the Red and Black of Laena's and her kids.

Why are some people so opposed to Rhaenyra having a sword in S3? (And blaming Emma D’arcy for wanting one?)

We’ve seen Rhaenyra use a weapon to defend herself against a boar in S1.

We saw in S2 how she was left defenceless during an assassination attempt, so it’s understandable she’d want a weapon to make her feel safer. Also, she was concerned that the men on her council saw her as more of a daughter or a mother saying; “They will see me as a ruler, and my symbols of authority won't be jewels and gowns but the shield and sword.” During the same scene she says she tires of being protected by others and not being able to do it herself. We saw her briefly holding a sword and lamenting that if she were born a boy she’d have been trained to use it as soon as she could walk. Rhaenyra is also an admirer of Visenya, who had Darksister. Although Aegon has it currently, the catspaw dagger should be Rhaenyra’s and it has significance to her character with the prince that was promised prophecy.

Emma did suggest they wanted a weapon so they had somewhere to put their hands (and it seemed like they were kind of joking and not adamantly demanding one), but it’s seems like the build up to Rhaenyra having one was already laid. It’s entirely possible they were going to get one whether they suggested it or not.

It’s not even a horrible, huge storyline changing thing to have the Queen carry around protection during a civil war. Sure, Rhaenyra isn’t said to have one in the book, but like come on, it’s just a sword, is it really that deep? Out of all the other changes and writing blunders a sword is the hill people want to die on?

due to the worsening economy we’ve had to make cutbacks, so Alys Rivers will be playing the roles of the Weird Sisters and of Lady Macbeth to any easily influenced Targaryen men who decide to invade her castle

"Errors were made in the hours following King Viserys' death."

Yeah I know, Alicent didn't throw that mans crusty ass child fucking corpse into the Narrow Sea while playing the crab song on loop.
