the idea of daeron targaryen showing up in season 2 like “MY FATHER WAS SICK???” is so funny to me. like little dude was literally unaware of everything. living his life in peace when the rest of his family decided to usurp the throne.
What do you think is the most beautiful son of Viserys? Rhaenyra, Aegon, Helaena, Aemond, or Daeron? I know that because of her beauty, Rhaenyra was nicknamed The Realm's Delight and Daeron was described as the most beautiful of Alicent's children. What is your opinion?
I mean, of course all of them are good looking because of their valyrian blood but I like to think Rhaenyra and Daeron are pretty PRETTY, like good lord the face card is strong in these ones 🥵 haha and between they both well… there’s only one Realm’s Delight but maybe Im being biased 😳
"Because you're the reason."
— Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
Early 129 AC Addam of Hull and Daeron the Daring lounging together on a dock in Oldtown, enjoying some time alone. They're gazing at each other lovingly, Addam resting a hand on his neck. Daeron sports a mouse tattoo ( done by a friend at the Citadel who is studying traditions in the east ) in honor of his little Velaryon mouse. 🐭
Platonic Love - Rhaena the Charming and Daeron the Darling
The matrimonial union between Rhaena and Daeron Targaryen—offspring born from the loins of adversarial factions—defied all expectations, blossoming into an unexpectedly blissful alliance marked by authentic affection and an unyielding connection. Both niece and uncle seemed to share an innate understanding, their kindred spirits embodied in a shared jovial and amiable nature, coupled with an affinity for revelry and banquets.
Yet, irrespective of these familial bonds, as previously alluded, the paramount love in Rhaena's life appeared to be not her spouse but her sworn protector and enduring childhood confidant, Ser Addam Velaryon. Whispers of him being the actual progenitor of her youngest progeny, Rhaegal, circulated despite Prince Daeron's prompt disavowal, who officially recognized the child as his own and nurtured him accordingly.
