One more think, since they'll almost certainly choose which theory of what happened at Harrenhal was true, which one do you think they will go with and which one would you want? I would guess they'll have Larys Strong being behind it.

i gave this some thought and i def believe it was daemon who set the fire. He is perfectly and incredibly willing to just fucking murder people to get what he wants (rhaenyra). he kills rhea to free himself up for marriage and almost certainly orders the hit on laenor to free rhaenyra up imo. it's completely in line with his actions and intentions for him to remove harwin, a rival for her affections. In contrast i don't really see what larys materially gains by going full kinslayer here. he wouldn't need to be lord of harrenhal to be named master of whisperers; plenty of second sons get court appointments of that level. ik larys' motivations are really inscrutable and he is a torturer who is willing to do murders but he just doesnt benefit from pulling this whereas daemon definitely does!

#it would be very funny if it was just like a random fire. kitchen accident #also hotd book spoilers i guess idk #also in terms of what the show will portray. i dont think they'll show the actual truth lol! i think the characters will #debate it just as much as the audience will. id like that... keeping the spirit of f&b in SOME ways #atp i'd believe daemon did 9/11.#* oh And also lyonel going back to harrenhal was a chance thing iirc and wasnt planned #so it wouldnt make sense for it to be larys bc why would he JUST want to kill his brother and not his dad if he wants the lordship????#the culprit needs to be someone who has it out for harwin specifically. Which. daemon. maybe.. maybe viserys but idk hes kinda lax about it #hotd
