I think people overestimate how feminist team black is. If someone brings up how Baela should be the heir to Driftmark, it's always "she would've been Queen if not for the Greens!", ignoring that 1, she would be Queen consort, not a Queen in her own right, and 2 she has a legitimate claim in her own right to Driftmark. Team Black's goal is to crown Rhaenyra, but Rhaenyra becoming Queen isn't a win for feminism because it does nothing to dismantle the rest of the patriarchal system that exists in Westeros. From what we've gotten so far, it reads that Rhaenyra wants to be the exception and not the rule. Rhaenyra has made a lot of bad political decisions, which means she can't acknowledge Baela's claim because it would weaken her own claim (blatantly admitting her eldest sons are illegitimate would not end well for her to say the least). So she betrothes Jace and Luke to Baela and Rhaena to kind of atone for that, like as a consolation prize Baela will be Queen and Rhaena will be lady of Driftmark, neither of them would hold either title in their own right. It's good matches because the kids like each other and will treat each other well, but it's not a feminist win or a feministic liberation. It's usurpation, usurpation that takes place because Rhaenyra has to do damage control after having illegitimate children and after a serious of bad political decisions (both hers and her fathers, Viserys is the arbiter of this entire mess). To me, Rhaenyra is very reminiscent of Mary Queen of Scots, I can see a lot of elements drawn from Mary's history in Rhaenyra's story and character, down to their sons eventually taking the crown they failed to claim/keep.

Yandere in Velaryons for yandere mother Alicent's daughter Princess. Maybe Cristonda is developing tendencies for the Princess. Aegon, Helaena, Aemond, and Daeron don't want to share their big sister with the boys in the green team. Can you write more for this? The Princess that everyone is obsessed with. I would love to read more about the princess' relationships with others. Maybe the dragon dance is for the Princess, not the throne.

Yes I can, I'm happy to write more about it! 😉

Let's go, starting with the fact that everyone in the reader's family is possessive and yanderes is a fact that she will never really be alone, she may even think she is, but there will always be someone snooping around. Most likely it will be Aegon because well, it is Aegon.

They are all suffocating and obsessed in their own way, each wrapped up in their own illusion about you. They all yearn for the princess in a different and intense way.

I like to imagine that Criston is as much Alicent's sworn shield as yours, like, your mother knows how good he is at defending and insists he must protect you too. Criston has no reservations about that, he saw you grow up and he likes you a lot, but his obsession would only grow after spending more time with you. When that happens, he won't be protecting you just because he has to, but because he wants to, and no one will hurt you as long as Criston is alive. He can even become a romantic yandere depending on the reader's age and the situation, but I imagine he will hide these feelings when he realizes how problematic this can become because of your family. For now, he will just be content to protect you and yearn for you from afar.

The Velaryons will be more subtle as they approach the reader, hiding their obsession with just one another as much as possible. Corlys and Rhaenys will be quite wary around you, they've realized all too well how much the Greens are very involved in their obsession with you and they're trying to avoid further conflict with them, but soon they find themselves just as attached as the others. Corlys will be more demanding for you, he wants to spend more time with you and he can only do that if you visit more King's Landing, since your mother doesn't want you to leave there, so the little time he gets with you he enjoys at the same time. maximum, listening to you talk and telling stories of your sea voyages and inviting you to visit him at Driftmark. Rhaenys is more calm and passive with her obsession, she knows how to control herself and enjoys all the time she has with you in any way she can, but more often you hear her ramble or she hears you chattering about your day to day. Laena and Laenor adore you and will make more of a habit of going to King's Landing just to see you. When they are there, your attention is only focused on them and that doesn't please your family members.

You are right, anon. Your younger sibilings don't like the idea of ​​sharing you with others, especially Aegon and Aemond. Helaena doesn't like the idea of ​​you being with anyone else besides her, since you're her only company, but she'll accept it as long as you don't leave her to others. Aegon will be the meanest at this, he will complain and try to emotionally blackmail you ti his side, complaining that you are his older sister and therefore should pay more attention to him. Aemond will be the most upset to have your attention on someone else, he won't say anything to you but will threaten whoever is trying to steal his sister from him. Daeron spends the least amount of time with you, so he doesn't have much to do, but he might hear about your neglect of his family through letters and he'll write to you about it, a little upset about being away. from you.

The Dance of the Dragons can happen because of the princess. If it gets to the point where both sides become obsessed with you, the situation is not going to be good. You are expected to support your younger brother Aegon to become king, but what if you don't? And if you support Rhaenyra? Or, better yet, what if you decided that you should become Queen over her brothers? In any case, the Iron Throne will not be the only final objective of this war.

Maybe you want to end it all and decide to run away somewhere else. Who knows, maybe you decide not to support either side? The pressure is simply too great, Y/N. What do you choose to do?

Not Viserys winning father of the year awards amongst the fandom when he's been a pretty shit dad to Rhaenyra and she's legit the one kid he acknowledges 💀💀 I doubt he could tell Aegon and Aemond apart before Aemond lost an eye and I can see him calling Helaena by Rhaenyra's name at some point (like how in Fire and Blood Jaeherys called Alicent by his late daughter Saera's name when she read to him). I'm convinced Daeron is squiring at old town like he was in fire and blood and Viserys has just completely forgotten his existence
