They didn’t add Maelor for one reason: Episode 8.

Rhaenyra needs the whole of Team Green’s male line dead. Her brothers are a threat to Jace’s claim, there’s no way around this plus Aemond committed the most unforgivable sin of killing Luke. She’s after blood, sure it’s cruel but at the end of day that’s war for you and they’re adult men whose own mother doesn’t give a crap about so why should she? 🤷🏽‍♀️

So Rhaenyra wanting a bunch of grown men dead? Yeah sure, it’s cruel but whatever.

Rhaenyra wanting a BABY dead? That’s plain evil! They’ve already had her clutch at pearls hearing about B&C, they can’t have her turn around and declare baby Maelor’s tiny head needs to be hoisted on a spike!

Likewise, their pathetic attempt at justifying Alicent’s treachery is that “men are bad, women are good”. Where does a male baby come into play? It’s bad enough they’re having her throw her whole family under the bus to save her own skin, but including a baby??? That’s too far, even for them.

So to sum up, Maelor doesn’t exist in HotD so that:

Rhaenyra can still be rightfully moral and just, she only wants adult men dead to protect her teenage son, she would never harm an innocent.

Alicent has some semblance of morality, she’s only sacrificing adults not babies!

Its always the same thing.

Like if you have to erase whole established story lines, (whole children!) to make rhaenyra look good. Then maybe it wasnt all "green propaganda" after all.

the lannisters: sansa do you support your family? sansa with a split lip, bruises all over her body, wearing a torn dress: 

asoiaf/got fandom: well does she? we can’t tell. it’s too ambiguous.

Jo Shapcott, Of Mutability

"It's not a king who sits the Iron Throne these days, good sister. It's a queen."

"If the king will not seek justice, the queen will."

"What have I done but what was expected of me? Forever upholding the kingdom, the family, the law. Where is duty? Where is sacrifice?"

"The beacon on the Hightower, do you know what color it glows when Oldtown calls its banners to war?"

Day 3 — favorite quote(s)

I love this Helaena/Dreamfyre dragon rider and dragon bond theory.

Also noted that in that scene, Helaena looked justifiably annoyed when she spat, "He did it again!"

Dreamfyre seemed just as pissed with Aemond's intrusion before blowing out a warning shot of fire.

Dreamfyre and Helaena were probably psychically connected in that moment in outrage.
