#dragon and defiant

[f1rewalk3r]

“dragon and defiant are the worlds worst couple” how does it feel to be wrong. does it hurt to walk around when you’re that fucking stupid.

d&d are fucking hilarious. because, well imagine you’re the prt, right? you’ve got this super dangerous tinker who’s kinda off the deep end of his own megalomania. so you entrust the world’s best tinker, who’s trusted to run the only serious cape jail, to keep this crazy guy locked up, right?

and then he fucking seduces her and she lets him go.

lol

How do you make it through the Slaughterhouse Nine clone arc? It just feels like endless “who would win” mashing your dolls against each other hypotheticals? Nine cherishes could beat three teams working together, etc—feels like it’s impossible to care about any of the characters involved and what happens

Great question! See I also didn't appreciate the S9k arc until my 2nd read-through. It definitely suffers the most from the missing 2 Chicago Wards arcs that should've been written - the abrupt transition really throws off the otherwise very well paced book

However, the S9k arc is really important for *Taylor*

Remember that no one but Cauldron knows anything about GM - Taylor's acting hypothesis is that Jack will cause a 2nd trigger during his mayhem that ends the world. So this moment is EVERYTHING that Taylor has been working towards for over two years - the reason she left the Undersiders, the reason she works her Wards to the bone, the reason she's been on a one-girl crusade to make allies and break uncooperatives. So in a lot of ways, it's Taylor's time to shine. She took Dinah's 'prophesy' more seriously than anyone, Chevalier lets her take the lead, and we get to see her at her most badass.

Jack, on the other hand, is in it for the fun and chaos - he treats 8 out of each 9 clones as totally expendable - it's boring to have more than one crawler or more than one Winter - his ideal scenario is watching the fireworks as 8/9ths of them die, and taking one of each remainder and creating a much more tightly focused marauding band.

Meanwhile, we get to see Dragon unleash her full potential, after years of incremental freedom she can undercut the S9 at all fronts - the 8 cherishes are a great example - Jack wasn't counting on Dragon's progress so those 8 cherishes on the bus were intercepted long before they reached their destination and started wreaking havoc.

Plus, there was a lot of cool & tense shit that you just gotta enjoy, before the real tragedies begin

Daena the defiant and Daemon Blackfyre

I'm thinking of the incredibly vital role Rhaenyra was given after her mother died, becoming the first ever female heir to the iron throne.

How revolutionary this was, and what an opportunity it presented for all women in Westeros (outside of Dorne).

How the sexist society she lived in was less than pleased of this title and how happy it would have been to strip her of it. And how easy Rhaenyra made it for them to do so.

She knew the importance of the title she bore, she knew that every noble man in the continent would look for anything to discredit her because of mysogyny, she knew that how she behaved would determine whether or not women would ever be considered capable of taking the weight of the crown and rule.

And she completely fumbled the bag by:

Being extremely rude and bratty to all of her suitors, refusing her arranged marriage, obviously cheating of her husband and claiming her bastards were true born, murdering said husband so she could marry her uncle (who has a terrible reputation) days after his own wife's death.

What was she thinking?

Didn't she even bother to wonder what the realm would think of her unlawful actions?

She literally proved the sexist society right, by being the most scandalous princess she could be, and that only solidified in the minds of everyone in Westeros that if you put a woman in a position of power she's gonna abuse it to do whatever she wants.

The girlboss black queen is the reason why no other Targaryen woman ever sat the iron throne after her, as her scandals and treachery turned the population against the mere though of a female ruler, in fear of having a new "Maegor with teats".

Princess Daena Targaryen and her son Daemon Blackfyre 🫶🏻 I know red isn't the color she's usually described wearing, but I think it looked good for a court portrait! So here I leave you this portrait of The Defiant and the future Black Dragon ✌🏼

PD: See you in 500 years when I find time again to draw the portrait of Septa Rhaena 🥲

[wweskywalker]

“she idolized her brother, daeron (the young dragon).”

easter eggs because i’m insane:

- daeron’s necklace belonged to rhaenyra

- the dornish longbow he bought her ☹️

- ik it’s because she wants to humiliate baelor but does it ever cross your minds that daena chose to wear white after daeron’s death to commemorate him, as she would be so much happier with him rather than baelor (i’m delulu leave me alone)

ok I've seen some variation of "Dragon and Defiant adopt Taylor" bouncing around the worm fandom but no one ever talks about the funniest part, which is how bad that apartment would be. obviously Colin is the patron saint of r/malelivingspaces, but I think that taylor "the bugs can clean my armor" hebert would probably also live like that if she got the chance. not only that but she actively adds terrariums and terrariums of spiders into the situation, which would compliment the piles and piles of computer parts well. the only person who'd think of advocating for a couch or something is Dragon, and she's In The Computer so I don't think that she'd be able to convince them. Once she gets her body things probably get a little better, but she can only fix so much

Thing is, while Snotlout is vocal and loud when pulling the typical cousin shenanigans, Hiccup does them too but in a deviously silent way.

Like getting Snotlout to dip his tongue in night fury saliva or putting a lot more flammable gel on his coccoon than anybody else's or not even batting an eye at the other practically having a panic attack as he pairs him up with one of the most feared dragons based on aesthetic alone or appointing him the bait for smothering smokebreaths on Breakneck Bog.

They are both equally vicious when it comes to being cousins

So this is major headcannon time, I decided that it was tradition for westerosi queens to design their own frames for their royal portraits. So first ones Rhaenys and Visenya opted for identical frames made of Valyrian steel, they were simple due to the rareness of the steel. Alyssa chose one made of silver seashells that she had collected throughout her life. Alyssane chose silver to reflect her dragon Silverwing and the favorite gems of her daughters. Aemma wanted to reflect her often forgotten Arryn ancestory. Alicent obviously went full Hightower while Rhaenyra chose a silver frame designed to look like Valyrian buildings with her dragon Syrax represented. Heleana based hers on a sketch that Rhaenyra had shown her as a young girl, opting to feature a garden wall from the red keep with motifs of her favorite insects. Jaehaera was unable to design her own frame. Daenaera chose a pearl adorned frame devoid of any dragon symbolism in respect to her husband. Daena wasn’t allowed a frame by her husband Baelor. Naerys reflected her faith with a Seven-pointed star frame. Myriah used Dornish gold in her frame. Aelinor designed a wooden frame, she did not want an expensive frame as she never felt like she was truly Queen. Betha used the wood from a Weirwood tree to reflect her houses northern history. Shaera was fascinated with the history of her house and after much debate was allowed to have a frame made of dragonbone. Rhaella’ s frame was a small rebellion of her own, the shape the first of its kind with purple flowers as a subtle nod to her childhood infatuation with Bonfier Hasty. Cersei Lannister has yet to design her own frame, many believing that Robert Baratheon forbid her from doing so. the portraits were saved by a young servant who spirited them to the citadel where they are now stored. Jaehaera and Rhaella’s portraits were painted from memory, both from their weddings, Jaehaera’s reign was too short to have a painting commissioned, and Rhaella was forbidden by her husband to have her portrait painted out of fear that she would somehow hurt any babe she carried.
