#like i would draw rhaenicent so much

[nonbinarylesbianherb]

God made sure I had no patience because If I had the patience to learn how to draw and make video edits I would never stop

Og anon again. I was also thinking (I'm not sure though, about how you feel about this, but) Rhaenicent and their infant? Like these... domestic, cute little moments, tummy-timing on the baby carpet thing (in here it's called a university), forehead kisses and groggy eyes.

I do have a baby fever I fear.

Also, what do you think about Rhaenicent being parents? What are our thoughts?

Baby fever so strong I started writing a whole scene of them interacting with the baby while answering this (not gonna post it, but still, loved the idea so much)

We love parents Rhaenicent, I think that they would just be the sweetest and definitely great moms for sure

I can see them as complete opposites, Rhaenyra would be the chill parent, she would be so loving, caring and so... Soft? Rhaenyra is all about little acts of love, she's more confident about providing it for sure

Alicent on the other hand, is the overduer, over protective, extra worried one, she's definitely more insecure about being a good enough mother, so she will try to compensate it by doing big things, or just everything, poor woman is just anxious about it

Maybe there's something to do with the way that they were raised?

They would find a balance over time of course, completing each other in a certain way

I'm horrible at writing anything, so you can ignore all of this and just focus on the drawing instead lol

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.

wondering if you've considered drawing other asoiaf/got characters someone like margaery or cersei would go hard in your style

YES i need to stop defaulting to sansa and rhaenicent (and team green in general) every time i draw asoiaf stuff i swearrrr (i just love them…… so much.. brainrot)

i’ve been meaning to draw cersei for FOREVER now she’s so silly

do you think we will get the battle of gods eye next season?

Honestly? No. It really boggles my mind that so many seem convinced Daemon and Aemond are getting axed in season 3. It’s partly both wishful thinking (given we’d all love these actors in other projects besides Hotd) and part the naive expectation that character deaths will follow the same sequential order from the book. However, after season 2? I highly doubt it.

We're are left with only 16 episodes, and it's crystal clear that Daemon and Aemond are major draws for the audience, besides Rhaenyra and Alicent. I get that this is a contentious opinion in both TB and TG circles, but aside from Paddy and Milly, these four are the only ones with any serious pull with the viewers. Remember the season 2 poster? Rhaenicent prominently featured, with Daemon v Aemond in the background—that's the show's entire framework right there. It was the one marketing strategy that wasn't trying to pull a fast one on us. Way in the back, you've got Criston and Aegon in TG, and Rhaenys and Corlys in TB. These are the ONLY characters that actually matter. I recall all four getting slammed on my timeline during the season's run, and yet here we are months later, with these four still at the top lol. Outside of Reddit, Alicent is still the fourth most popular character imo despite all the criticism she's faced. It makes sense when you consider that the Rhaenicent fandom alone is three times the size of TG. Sure, dragonseeds might gain traction in season 2, but they're not nearly enough to replace Daemon and Aemond. Only Aegon has the potential to fill that vaccum but there aren’t enough episodes left to build that impact. If the God’s Eye does happen in season 2, it'll only be because Matt Smith has decided he's done with the show lol. Otherwise, there's absolutely no way the show will drop two of its most popular characters.

Secondly, I highly doubt the deaths will be in the same sequential order. Before GRRM’s blog, I was convinced that Helaena would once again be sidelined in season 3 until her season 4 exit. But now that she’s dying in season 3, I’m led to believe she might not be getting that crucial death before the storming scene. With only 16 episodes remaining, it looks like both Rhaenyra and Aegon will meet their end in the final episode. They won’t drag the series on long after Rhaenyra's death. It’ll probably wrap up with Emma’s voiceover narrating the fallout for House Targaryen post-Dance, just as it kicked off the at the start of season 1.

If I had to guess, both Helaena and Daeron will bite the dust before Aemond, because in the show they’re practically low-stakes. In fact, if Helaena is dying in season 3, that begs the question of who will get the more dramatic exit in season 4. This is all just speculation, but seeing as so much of Helaena’s “grieving queen” arc is being handed to Alicent, it wouldn’t shock me if they pack an extra punch into her potential death right before the storming. I hate that idea as much as anyone, sure… but if they’re handing Alicent a redemption arc, I won’t be surprised if they go in a different direction with these character arcs from the books.
