Fill the void up with celluloid Take a picture, I'm with the boys Get what I want cause I ask for it Not because I'm really that deserving of it Living life like I'm in a play In the limelight I want to stay I know I've got a big ego I really don't know why it's such a big deal though

While I'm still busy with commissions, here's another sketch of modern Targaryen siblings🥲

The thing about the "fire and blood calling rhaenyra fat was green propaganda" Sara Hess quote for me (apart from the obvious fatphobia) is it just totally underpins everything wrong with the series. Like just a total and absolute inability to understand the text and the world that is being adapted in such a way that when they try to critique misogyny and other biases in fire and blood with their adaption choices (as they should imo) it backfires and achieves some version of the complete opposite.

The misogyny in that section of fire and blood does not come from the greens making up that rhaenyra was fat when she was not lmao. It comes in the implication that rhaenyra, being fat (which she was), was jealous of alicent staying slim. Theres an implication that is made in mentioning it at all - a silent claim being made that its relevant. Now thats misogynistic - to assume rhaenyra disliked alicent in any way for that reason, when there was a multitude of far more complex, more obvious reasons for her dislike.

But now, by removing Rhaenyra being fat, you remove that layer from the text. You claim it was propaganda and you make it a factional thing. Team vs team. When really the way these women are remembered by history, though it is propaganda, is much more just propaganda against women ruling, not simply Rhaenyra ruling. I think hotd never fully grasped this. Yes, the greens won the war. and yes, history is written by the winners. but its also written by men.

Today was actually amazing for me because of this. He ate and no one will ever convince me he’s in the wrong (cause how y’all ruin two adaptions of his work back to back💀)

Grand maester Orwyle just wants to do his job in peace, but the greens won´t leave his patient alone.

The House of the Dragon writers are so jealous of Book Aegon

Canonical Aegon traits/characteristics they gave to Rhaenyra:

- Aegon’s motivation to protect his family is given to Rhaenyra, they even have Rhaenys say “The Greens are coming for you, Rhaenyra. And your children.” And have that be the final line of the season 1 recap. As if in the book it isn’t Aegon who is told Rhaenyra is coming for him and his whole children and that that ALONE convinces him to become King

- All but admitted to making show Syrax the book Sunfyre equivalent. Ryan Condal said Syrax is a golden dragon who has an incredible bond with her rider and is the kind of dragon you’d want to put on your banner. And called the bond between Aegon and Sunfyre maester propaganda

- Has Rhaenyra want to fly into battle, which she doesn’t in the book, to make her seem as brave and selfless as Aegon

Made it seem like Rhaenyra didn’t want the throne and was forced to take it, which is basically what happens to Aegon in the book

Meanwhile, they gave Rhaenyra starving the smallfolk and them rebelling against her to Aegon. They had to make Aegon a rapist who enjoys watching children fight just to try and desperately make it so he wouldn’t become the fan fave, and it still isn’t working. They have everything in their power to stop Aegon from becoming beloved, and it still didn’t work

General audiences may be Team Black because of what they did Aegon in the show, but he has still become the favorite character. The amount of people I’ve seen say they’re Team Black but Aegon is their fave/the best character is crazy

"Brutus" - The Buttress but it is Aemond Targaryen

This project took forever to finish, but alas I am very happy with how it turned out. If you look closely you'll see plenty of religious imagery that lent itself as inspiration (real ones and asoiaf ones).

I might post some of these individually in the future to fully preserve the original quality, which I know tumblr will spoil :)

I also did switch some of the lyrics so it makes more sense, and swapped the Latin to High Valyrian:

Frater Meus = Nuha Lekia = (older) Brother Mine

Rex = Darys = King

The Valyrian glyphs = either "Fire and Blood" or the inscription from the dagger (as much of it as I could decipher at least)
