#I'M HAPPY WE WON

[le010n11]

There's a room where the light

won't find you

Holding hands while the walls

come tumbling down

When they do I'll be right behind you.

Neither Daemon nor Rhaenyra never actually spoke words "I love you/her/him" about each other. it is not an accusation, just a note. At what moment do you think their feelings changed from familial to romantic and they realized it? I think Rhaenyra had a teenage crush on him even in ep 1. But he probably realized something only in episode 4.

Ohhh this is actually an interesting question anon. Rhaenyra just called Daemon "my love" and said "I want you uncle" and then "I need you" and it's true, nobody said I love you.

So big disclaimer. When you follow a story and a particular fictional romantic couple you always need to pay attention to the context. Context is everything. You can also call it interior logic of the story. Every story has one, and you need to keep that in mind if you want to decide how to feel about certain things.

So the context of that particular story is that you have a little girl, raised in an incestuous family and in an era where girls got married very very young, so they started looking for spouses even younger. This girl has a very cool oncle that gives her a lot of attention and also has all the qualities she admires in a partner, but she can't have for herself because she is a girl. He also happens to be hot. So girl falls for said uncle very very early on. That's canon, no doubt about that, it's obvious even in the show that she is smitten as a teenager.

Then you have a man who has been raised in an incestuous family, who is very loyal to said family and has this burden of not being recognised enough as a second son. This man has a niece that he loves and probably very early on considered that she could be a great partner when she grew older, a partner worthy of him, but unfortunately he got married to someone he didn't choose because politics. Then that niece begins to actually resemble him, in all the ways that matter, and he admires her indépendance and firey personality, he understands that they actually have so much in common and that she sees him, truly. She is also hot. So he's like, wait, not only this girl could be a great partner on paper, I actually want her to be my partner in life. We are meant to be.

And they are. Rhaenyra wants a strong Targaryen by her side, a male warrior and Dragonrider like herself, that is absolutely loyal to her. Daemon wants a strong Targaryen by his side, a powerful Queen and Dragonrider like himself, who is not afraid of him but instead embraces him completely and gives him the family acceptance he craved for. Being Targaryens, they are fucked up in the head, obviously (context) and they are also rulers, so there will be fights and competition and ugliness and spite and maybe cheating but in the context they are meant to be. He dies for her and his family.

So love? What does "I love you" mean after this? I believe it could sound a little corny to say that in their context. I believe that they absolutely love each other but it's better to show it by actions and in the narrative, and not by words. Then we also have this kind of shit

So why do we need an "I love you"?

But to answer your question specifically, I believe that Rhaenyra was smitten with him first, then he was smitten with her when he saw her in 1x04 (before he was just entertaining the idea but not in a serious way) then they made out and both realised that they are actually in love, then shit got real very quickly and after many many years they were finally be able to become one. That's it. This blog does not accept any pedo grooming shit, nor Daemon is only after the throne shit. This is crackhead territory and I won't even bother explaining why. Just look at them and watch the show (this is not at all addressed to you anon, it's a general advice).

Btw the GIFs are not mine, some of them are by @lady-phasma but not all, I hope you will forgive me because I'm trying to spread the word of God here.

finally finished karlach's personal quest 🥹

WHAT a fucking gut punch. the writing (and VOICE ACTINGGGGGG) of her breakdown is so honest imo. the way she just darts back and forth between grief and anger and how, just through proximity, some of that anger gets directed at you. because why are YOU so special!! and the person she could be most upset with is dead and she killed him and that's great but she's still here and YOU get to be fine!!!!!

i held it together pretty well up until returning to camp and getting everyone's opinion on her situation. the fucking option to plead with jaheira to be on your side and maybe help convince karlach to go back to the hells until something can be done... the dialogue of "i don't know what else to do, Jaheira." and this battle-wisened woman's sympathy to that statement. that had me ugly crying for real.

i feel like right up until that point the game afforded a lot of options to not speak if you were unsure of something's outcome but not really a moment for tav (especially a good-aligned tav) to admit to the crushing reality that they can't fix this situation. for someone close to them no less. having spent days in game running around doing exactly that for people who mattered less. devastating.

anyway cleans the tear stains off my glasses i'm super good and excited to finish this playthru.

i wanted to share this video i found of jannik and translate it too for those who don't speak italian because i am soooo fond of this jannik... low voice, talking about how he loves spending time with fans, being happy about milan winning, smiling almost shyly, joking.

for context this was after the first round at roland garros in 2022 and it was right after milan won the league (scudetto) for the first time in 11 years so obviously it was very special and you can clearly see it in jannik's eyes <3

Baby smurf is OBSESSED with Lilou it is the most adorable thing

He'll usually want to nurse about half an hour before Lilou gets up on workdays, so by the time she does he's still awake, laid down on the bed between my legs to get some wiggles out

And then as she's getting ready he just keeps staring at her, completely captivated, following her with his eyes as she moves around, making cooing noises, and visibly lighting up every time his giant love bug eyes inevitably summon her back to the bed for a kiss or a quick babble conversation

She's predictably left late every single day in the month since her leave ended but idc it's worth it for the melting
