#like she marries daemon not bc she’s trying to disinherit her kids but bc she’s SCARED FOR THEM.

i think it’s really annoying silly when people imply rhaenyra would have ever disowned the velaryon boys when she spends over a decade digging in her heels about jace being her heir even after she’s had true born sons by daemon. she could have disinherited joffrey after the oldest two died, might have even been able to use the reasoning that as laenor’s only son, she wants him and baela/rhaena to have driftmark together as a way of slyly putting her true born son on the throne. but she doesn’t and there’s a really obvious, in your face reason for this and if your reading of rhaenyra is that she would EVER concede on this point or that coming to the throne uncontested was more important than jacaerys succeeding her in the line of succession, you just have a reading of rhaenyra that is fundamentally at odds with the way i see her and also with the way she’s written
