PART I

[coveredinsun]

what i think about sometimes is that it’s lowkey crazy that it took 130 years for an eldest girl vs. younger boy succession conflict to break out into Actual War among the targaryens. i mean, in every single generation after the conqueror’s sons (in which there were no daughters at all) the eldest child of that generation had always been a daughter, but their inheritance was never formally scorned until rhaenys.

firstly, rhaena was aenys i’s eldest child, but she was quickly married off to her brother, not necessarily with the explicit intention to prevent a succession conflict, but prevention was a result; it made for a simple father-son succession with a built in queen consort.

of the next generation, there were 2 daughters elder than jaehaerys’ eldest male child aegon (who died as an infant and actually left a presumed female heir for a few years, daenerys!): aerea and rhaella. rhaella was sent away to be a septa, but aerea was even proclaimed heir! her claim against jaehaerys, like rhaenyra and daemon later, was a matter of king’s daughter vs. king’s brother. however, her inheritance was unofficially spurned, and with less publicity and outcry than rhaenys, because A) her father aegon “the uncrowned” was, as his nickname implies, never officially crowned king; and B) she was proclaimed heir by maegor, which left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. but jaehaerys was indeed chosen over her because of the male primogeniture that put viserys over rhaenys! and rhaena, her mother, held a valid resentment over that.

and then finally after jaehaerys is crowned king and has ruled for a little while, he actually has an eldest female heir, daenaerys, for ~6 years—and her mother alyssanne specifically contended for her right to be heir! but then she dies, and jaehaerys gets an uncontroversial male heir, AND a uncontroversial male backup. but then both of those male heirs die, and like 4 of their daughters die/run away/are sent away in rapid succession (alyssa, daella, viserra, saera, maegelle) and suddenly there are TWO possible options for jaehaerys’ children, so he turns to his children’s children, and we all know how it goes.

TLDR: the dance of the dragons was not the first succession conflict based on gender. it is simply the only one that did not have a clean “wrap up” (sorry for such an insensitive turn of phrase), and thus turned into a war. targaryen women have been spurned since day 1, but it was never officially ordained until rhaenys, and never viciously fought over until rhaenyra.

[notfeelingthyaster]

the thing is: jaehaerys didn't deny daenerys/rhaenys claims (the great council was a scam, he was endorsing viserys) to the throne for the "good of the realm" or only because he thought women can't rule/he didn't want corlys velaryon behind the power. he did it because if a women came upon the throne before her male brother/uncle, he would bring scrutiny over his usurpation of the far better claimant aerea.

‼️ TIES THAT BIND UPDATE ‼️

This indifference, Rhaella realized, was the kindest she could afford to be towards them. The alternative was a bitterness that would consume her entirely. She could not muster the warmth she might have given under different circumstances, but she could at least avoid the cruelty that simmered beneath the surface. It was a fragile balance, maintaining this indifference, but it was all she had left to give

Come get y’all’s juice!!! AND PLEASE LMK WHAT YOU GUYS THINK! Ok bye 🥰

Targaryen's but their androgynous

Targaryen's but they have little spots of scales on certain parts of them

Targaryen's but with fangs

Targaryen's but they growl when they are pissed

Targaryen's but they grow extra sharp nails

Targaryen's but they think blood is delicious

Targaryen's but they love burnt meat

Targaryen's but they give love bites

Targaryen's but they also give hate bites (if it's a hate bite you're probably going to be missing a limb)

Targaryen's but they elaborately braided their hair

Targaryen's but they tie gems into their hair

Targaryen's but with traditional Valyrian piercings

Targaryen's but with traditional Valyrian makeup and markings

Targaryen's but one of their marriage traditions is to drink a cup of their spouses blood on their anniversary and on their wedding

Targaryen's are the opposite of tame and they deserve as many freaky customs and traits as possible.

My Targaryen family height chart. Before we proceed, I feel that I must mention that I headcanon most of the Targaryens of being short and most of the Martells as being very tall (except Arianne)

Aerys: 5'3

Rhaella: 5'4

Rhaegar: 5'3

Viserys: 5'2

Daenerys: 5'1

Elia: 5'9

Rhaenys: 6'2

Aegon: 6'0

Aemon/Jon: unpopular opinion, 5'0. I always picture Jon as really short.

Rhaenys, Aegon and Elia are giants in this family.

Bonus, Lyanna: 5'4.

[forestcat222]

Jon and Aegon used to share a crib in 'all the Targaryen's survive AU'. They shared blankets, pillows, stuffed animals and a crib egg.

In my AU, while all the dragon eggs are stone, the Targaryen's never stopped giving the kids crib eggs.

All my current Targaryen's have them, they just don't keep them out in the open.

Aerys and Rhaellas eggs are both hidden in a secret compartment in their room because Aerys was paranoid about them being stolen

Rhaegars egg is in his study

Viserys egg is attached to the chandelier in his room (he's a bit dramatic.)

Daenerys egg was sewn into one of her stuffed animals, she sleeps with it

Rhaenys egg is in a chest in her room, it's wrapped in several silk blankets

Aegon keeps his and Jon's egg in Aegons closet. Jon and Aegon used to take turns taking care of the egg when they were little but Aerys banned Jon from touching the dragon eggs and he got scared, now the egg stays in Aegons room.

Rhaenys & Aegon (Rhaegar's kids) being written like they hate being Targaryens irks me.

For starters, I am a Rhaegar Anti. This post is in no way defending him BTW, I'm just trying to be realistic.

I'm just saying Rhaenys & Aegon could hate Rhaegar but at the same time still be proud of being Targaryen.

Rhaegar is not the only Targaryen ever. Their grandmother Rhaella exists, and she loved them. Why wouldn't they be proud of being her grandchildren?

There is also the fact Rhaenys named her cat BALERION. This girl, despite looking like her awesome Martell mother, was as Targaryen as could be.

[horizon-verizon]

When word of the battle reached the west and Princess Rhaena learned that both her husband and her friend Lady Melony had fallen, it is said she heard the news in a stony silence. “Will you not weep?” she was asked, to which she replied, “I do not have the time for tears.” Whereupon, fearing her uncle’s wroth, she gathered up her daughters, Aerea and Rhaella, and fled farther, first to Lannisport and then across the sea to Fair Isle, where the new lord Marq Farman (whose father and elder brother had both perished in the battle, fighting for Prince Aegon) gave her sanctuary and swore no harm would come to her beneath his roof. For the best part of a year, the people of Fair Isle watched the east in dread, fearing the sight of Balerion’s dark wings, but Maegor never came. Instead the victorious king returned to the Red Keep, where he grimly set about getting himself an heir.
