#House Targaryen >>>> Everyone else

[tarth]

The greens, originally known as the queen's party, were the faction of House Targaryen and their loyalists who supported the ascent of Aegon II Targaryen as King of the Seven Kingdoms during the Dance of the Dragons and the years that preceded it. (in/sp)

criston with aegon:

unlike your father, i will always be on your side.

unlike your grandfather, i will always defend your honor.

unlike your mother, i will not spare your enemies.

unlike your brother, i really care about you.

the only person who sincerely supported aegon, treated him with respect, glorified his name with conquests of castles and was eager to avenge jaehaerys. and how determined he was to get to the fallen aegon at any cost, even though he could barely stand on his own feet ?? criston, you're not just the dad that stepped up, you're EVERYTHING.

Im rewatching right now and Aemond isn’t even wrong to try and get Helena to join him on dragonback. The Greens know about the dragonseeds claiming more dragons—Ulf literally rubbed it in kings landing face, riding silver wing above the city. Aemond knows he’s going to go up against an unwinnable match that’s going to kill him. He’s right to be upset and riled up and trying to get help from his family, but it’s framed like he’s totally lost his mind and out of line for doing so? They have him grabbing at Helena and fighting with his mother and they don’t even seem concerned about the six dragons the other side has now that are fully capable of burning them and all their allies to ashes. But Alicent is upset about the burnt smallfolk like Aemond is doing crimes against humanity because it’s his new passion in life, instead of because They’re At War and Daemon isn’t co-signing the slaughter and rape of women and children in the riverlands. Innocents who would be their people!! But the greens get no reaction to that at all? Are you kidding me? The writers want to demonize Aemond and team green so bad it makes them stupid. I actually can’t stand anyone crying about the smallfolk anymore, like any of them actually care to begin with

[tweedfrog]

Brat and it’s the same but team green is there so it’s not

i think we as a fandom need to talk about the fact that the targtower children’s resentment and disdain for rhaenyra is not just the work of viserys lack of parenting but due to everyone else too.

it’s from otto doing everything in his power to stop rhaenyra from getting the throne so his blood can get it, not because he thinks aegon is or would be a good king, not because he thinks his grandson deserves it, but because his blood would take the throne, not rhaenyra’s, not daemon’s. HIS.

it’s from alicent’s every conversation on screen with aegon revolving around rhaenyra. how, in ep.6, his mother stops his session to tell him he needs to be better to his brother in public so we can be a united family against her, how if rhaenyra takes the throne, she’ll have no choice but to kill them to keep her throne, how in ep.8, alicent is mad at his continuous behaviors but only this mad because rhaenyra is about to be in town.

the talk before his coronation is explicitly about how much his father wanted rhaenyra on the throne, how he had twenty years to change it and never did. it’s about alicent telling him not to not be swayed by judgements to kill rhaenyra, how above all the terrible she’s done, she still his sister. yet no one has ever acted like she is.

it’s from aemond’s eye being taken out and it ending with his mother yelling at rhaenyra about duty and sacrifices, how she can do all and never get in trouble, how she does as she pleases and is happy, yet she, the queen, is dutiful and isn’t. aemond’s eye is used to get back at rhaenyra, his mother is mad that his eye is gone but it’s more because RHAENYRA’S sons took it then it being taken at all. how he has to soothe his mother even if he’s the one bleeding.

it’s from criston cole bullying and tormenting rhaenyra’s sons because they are rhaenyra’s sons. It’s about them being lesser because they came from her indecency, them being worse because they came from her. her sons being lower than them because of them being a direct connection to rhaenyra and him feeling mad about not being the one she choose.

the targtower children entire world revolved around rhaenyra. it wasn’t just viserys who preferred her, everyone did! rhaenyra’s stepmother would rather fight her than love them! their mother’s sworn sword would rather mess with her children as an act of vengeance than genuinely be interested in them, their grandfather’s every political move was to stop her husband from being near power. love or hate, those children never had a chance to see rhaenyra on their own before or after Driftmark.

their father, her father, loved her more. their mother, her stepmother, hated her more than she cared for them. their grandfather, who has no connection to her, would rather deal with politics through them against her than for them. their mother’s sworn sword, who was rhaenyra’s sworn sword first, hates her more than he likes them.

these kids, again, never stood a damn chance!!

I feel like I just want to bang on the door of everyone who ever talks about Rhaenys's death and say: YOU KNOW SHE DID THE FALL IN TWO TAKES? She has TWO takes for that shot!!

This is exactly the kind of information that should be issued as a public service announcement, cause it's genuinely astonishing.

Two takes. Two.

TWO.

That’s all Eve Best needed to deliver one of the most devastating, hauntingly beautiful death scenes in recent memory. No endless resets, no drawn-out process—just pure, instinctive mastery of her craft. The woman acted against a green dot, and still managed to convey a depth of grief that felt like it was clawing its way out of her soul—twice—and that was all she needed?

It’s one thing to act grief—it’s another to make the audience feel it in their bones. And she did that in. only. two. takes. while looking at a green speck. And it's become one of the most harrowing moments in the entire series... I'm wowed.

People can say whatever they want, but there is no denying the artistry of what Eve Best did. The way she internalised that loss, let it build and unravel across her face in real time, all while reacting to absolutely nothing. An actor so in tune with her character, so utterly assured in her performance, that she can distill something that raw and shattering into perfection almost instantly.

She is simply built different. No, but for real, because how dare she be that good? Eve could act against a brick wall and still outshine half the industry.

I will be banging on doors with you. We riot at dawn.

[backjustforberena]

I just got reminded of this scene and this expression and I'm going to need a minute... ("I've suffered too much loss, Baela. I could not endure another." // "I just saw my daughter for the first time in years.")

[nonbinarylesbianherb]

Criston to Rhaenyra-

"Leave the throne, come be with me instead"

Rhaenyra thinking like- why would I ever do that?? gross

Also Rhaenyra to Alicent

"I don't care if my father has a son I want him to, I want him to, so you and I can fly away together across the world."

DAEMON TARGARYEN CROWNS HIS WIFE RHAENYRA TARGARYEN

[myimaginationplain]

I've decided to make rhaenyra x willem blackwood my new "what if?" au rarepair. they would've been a power couple, I just know it

[daemon-is-perfectly-unhinged]

This city would have seen you dead, but I will have it your home. And every soul who wishes you harm will be struck down just as sure as my blood runs in your veins.

- Daemon Targaryen, to Jon and Rhaegar.

[bietrofastimoff23]

Criston realized all the absurdity of life at the Red Keep and so, after Daeron was sent away, every day, instead of a greeting, he told Viserys "f&ck you/d1e". He makes his curse "untouchability" work for him.

The swear words are unspoken, but I hear them.

[franklinwvixen]

ain't feel guilty in the slightest

oh no, I'm fine. Not at scratch.

Vhagar? She'll be alright. Bad-tempered more than hurt.

Yes, yes very fortunate.

[prideprejudce]

the daemon being drugged by alys' side plotline should have been a couple of scenes at the most two episodes ago. but three episodes have gone by and I feel like this weird plot is just progressing to absolutely nothing and it's making me think the writers just have no idea what to do with him this season
