Do you even doubt it on your lips? (And yours is perfectly fine now) (When you say it, say it?) You love her (feels like we buried alive) It's over (something that never died) You already found someone to miss (so, God, it hurt when I found out)

hotd has the same brain poison in it as succession in that it’s an obvious criticism of feudal power and blood-purity hereditary monarchy as something that makes people insane and traumatises the few who escape the grinding wheel into continuing the cycle but that a sizeable subset of fans think it’s a game any of the characters can materially win, and that there is any character who ‘deserves’ the throne more than the others. dips almost immediately into unironic bloodline arguments and gerrymandering their favourite war criminal into being the ultimate winner i saw someone on twitter argue that overall daemon won because his kids survive even though his head got turned into red slime. the dance is the targs tearing their legacy apart due to personal ambition it’s the dying of the dragons it’s the beginning of the end and it was always going to happen!! the next king is rhaenyra’s son, but succeeds aegon ii - both sides can claim a victory. how does any of this matter? it killed them both anyway
