#Baelor the blessed

[ceriseo]

on the surface level baelor the blessed seems like a great deviation from previous instances of the trademarked targaryen crazy, but hes actually one of the purest examples of such. its just that instead of basing his maniacal egocentric worldview on his valyrian blood he places it on his perceived piety in the faith of the seven. and so instead of carpet bombing the riverlands and basking in everyones total reverence of him and abusing the woman around him he just makes everyone conform to his zealotry and basks in their total reverence of him. and of course abuses the woman around him.

Maybe a controversial opinion but if I was a peasant in King's Landing I would have fucking loved the weird bare-footed Jesus guy who randomly gave me coin after years of the monarchy pretending I don't actually exist. I have never seen his sisters, idc. Did his cousin get captured in Dorne? Idc about that I never saw him either. He banished prostitutes and their children? Great, my husband can't give me syphilis now and I don't have to care about any bastards. All I know is that this man acknowledges my existence and just throws money at me that will feed my family for the next 20 years. Like, the Seven bless the King! This is the best fucking time of my life

Princess Elaena Targaryen

I’m redoing the Maidenvault girls! They were in desperate need of a revamping since this is what Elaena looked like a year ago

I’m very happy with the new one, especially her crown and bronze dragonscale vest!

[nobodysuspectsthebutterfly]

i normally don't really ask things on here (though i'm a longtime fan!) but something is puzzling me. the wiki lists daena's marriage to baelor as 160 AC, and Daeron's death as 161 AC. i know daeron returned to Dorne in 160AC, but what is the logic of marrying daena to baelor? surely as the oldest sister she was expected to marry daeron first and foremost? do you think daeron himself arranged this, or viserys for some reason in particular? or is this GRRM messing up his own worldbuilding so he can justify their annulment later on?

Alas, you're not the only one puzzled, this is something we don't know. Pre-TWOIAF, GRRM stated that Daeron was married,* but he dropped that plot point when finalizing the Targaryen family tree for that book. (Which is where those dates of 160 and 161 come from for the wiki.) It may be he still thinks Daeron was betrothed* but not yet married (refusing until he'd finished conquering Dorne), or maybe some other thing was happening there. But I doubt it's a worldbuilding issue, there's for sure a reason that fits into the politics of the time, we just don't know what it is yet. It'll be in Fire & Blood volume 2 (or Blood & Fire, whatever it ends up being called), one day.

*Married or betrothed to whom? Well, since it wasn't a relative, I'd suspect a foreign alliance (cf. Daeron's own wish to betroth one of his sisters to the Sealord of Braavos), perhaps arranged when Daeron was young. Something done by Alyn Oakenfist and Hand of the King Viserys, most likely, since Aegon III was so removed from that sort of thing. Maybe Daeron's mother Daenaera was involved! (she said hopefully, and likely fruitlessly.) Could've been to a Lyseni Valyrian family, in an attempt to repair the Rogare problems. (Larra had left Viserys and returned to Lys in 139, but she died in 145, two years after Daeron was born.) Could have been to a Volantis Valyrian family, again related to one of Alyn's voyages. Or maybe someone from even further east! (Yi Ti? she again said hopefully and probably fruitlessly.)

Or maybe it was someone local. We still have no idea how Unwin Peake's villainy was ever resolved, if it was. Also Aegon III apparently made an enemy of Torrhen Manderly by canceling his coming-of-age progress, so maybe someone northern? (Some resolution with Cregan Stark to the Pact of Ice and Fire, one of his daughters with Aly?) Or who knows, maybe there was some attempt at a Dornish alliance during Aegon III's reign (since Alyn was so, um, friendly with Aliandra Martell), and its failure is one of the reasons Daeron was so determined to "complete the Conquest". But any further speculation would be fanfic I don't really care to write, so again, we'll just have to leave the details for the F&B continuation.

Princess Daena and Princess Elaena Targaryen.

My headcanon is that Daena was the one to cut Elaena’s hair. In this one I tried to depict that she understood all the hopelessnesses of the deed but anyway supported her little sister. And Elaena, with as little experience as she had, believed that it’d worth it . So she’s nervous herself and tries to reassure Daena that everything is going to be alright… And some very well deserved scorn for Baelor in Daena’s eyes and expression.

[ophelias-lamentation]

I have finally redone her, the one, the only, Queen Daena Targaryen, she was married to Baelor and he locked her along with her sisters in a tower so they couldn’t tempt men. Daena literally did not care and escaped several times, falling pregnant during one of her escapes. As a child she emulated her father Aegon III and dressed in all black, but when Baelor refused to consummate their marriage she began dressing in all white, she idolized her older brother Daeron and loved archery. Her son Daemon Blackfyre was fathered by her cousin Aegon IV and would later go on and rebel against the Iron Throne.

Also now yall kind of know what I look like
