Very well said, this whole blood purity thing is getting out of hand
why you always pretend to not understand what people are telling you in order to flip everything to your liking? 😭 Viserys has valyrian blood because he is a targaryen, and the only two other house with the same blood is velaryon and celtigar. Alicent's blood descended from the Andals, which is shared with most of the houses of Westeros apart from those three exceptions mentioned. The Valarian minority makes their blood more valuable. If alicent had she been to Valyria, thw situation would have been the same (her having andal blood wound have made her more valuable since she would have been surrounded by valyrian blood). So yes, alicent’s blood is not comparable as viserys as it show in hotd intro, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing like you interpreted
visenya Targaryen married maegor to a hightower. the hightowers are an old and respected house, that has married into the royal family prior to viserys and alicent's marrige.
F&B about the marriage :
"The Hightowers of Oldtown were an ancient and noble family, of impeccable lineage; there could be no possible objection to the king’s choice of bride."
"there could be no possible objection to the king's choice of bride".
prince aemon - jaehaerys's heir, married a baratheon. rhaenys is also half valyrian. but i don't see anyone talking about that.
you only care that alicent married viserys because you hate her. you only care about the targtowers being half targs because you hate them.
viserys originally planned to marry rhaenyra to a lannister. a non-valyrian. the idea that targs only marry valyrians is ridicules and so out of touch with show and book canon.
no anon, i'm not flipping anything to my liking. you sent me that bs post, didn't get the response you wanted and got mad. sorry, i'm just not into the whole "valyrian blood is superior" thing.
Little disclaimer:
I know some of my takes aren't for everyone, and that's fine! The world is great cause we're all different. I do not have a problem with people who disagree with what I say, sometimes I can even agree with the opposing side's opinion.
What I do draw the line at are insults. ( especially stuff like kys ) If you start cussing at me for what I say , or gravely insult anyone you're arguing with in the comments of my posts, then I'm going to have to block you.
No warnings, no second chances.
Tldr:
Don't be an asshole, please.

Streets saying Aegon will try to off himself, as seen by what appears to be a strangle mark in this EW photo. OMG!
This facebook hotd meme I found is so based and true. Pleasantly surprised to find non team black content there
For real though Floch kill him for a second time he deserves it
I want path scene where yeagerists and floch beat the shit out of eren
What I really can't stand is her belief that she's above consequences for her reckless actions
a thing that i really hate about team black is how they say that we can’t really be mad at Rhaenyra for having three bastard children as a woman, because men have been doing the same thing all the time and no one cared.
But they kinda always forget about a very important detail; Whenever men had bastard children, they pretty much never put them in line for inheritance. They were aware of the fact that some random children they had with some random women are somewhere out there living their lives. And they didn’t care. They didn’t put their lives in danger by saying “oh, yeah, they are my legitimate children” even though the children look nothing like their mother or something. And whenever they *do* have their bastards live with them, they always admit that they are their bastards and never put them higher than legitimate heirs to their house.
Like Ned Stark has always been like “hey, that’s my bastard son, Jon, he is living with us at Winterfell. We raised him, fed him and treated him right, but when it comes to inherit Winterfell, my legitimate son with my wife Caitlyn, Robb, who is the true heir to house Stark, will become the next Lord, not Jon”
Rhaenyra, well, did the exact opposte.
And if you say “oh, but she’s a woman, she can’t do that, since people will get angry if she admitted to having bastard children with a man that is not her husband!” I will say, as a woman myself, no matter how cruel that might sound: that’s Rhaenyra’s problem. She knew damn well that when a man and a woman have sex, it’s the woman that gets pregnant. And if she really wanted to have children, she could’ve had sex with someone that slightly looks like her husband. Like, what the hell did she, a blonde white woman, expect her children to look like, having sex with a dark haired white man?
Because that’s the world she lives in. A cruel and unfair patriarchal world. And she does absolutely fucking NOTHING to change it. She doesn’t fight for women’s rights, doesn’t call out this patriarchy that somewhat caused the war itself, she doesn’t do anything to get rid of it. So that’s on her
Poor kids really, 0 thought was put in their feelings towards their parents remarrying so soon, they deserved better :-/
I will never be over the kids' reactions at Daemon and Rhaenyra's gross Valyrian wedding. Jace looked so hurt. Luke was crying and had to be comforted by the maester. Rhaena and Baela were so lost and confused. Those kids deserved so much better.
aemond, to helaena, while lying face down on his bed and regretting everything: and then i called him dad.
criston, to alicent, crying tears of joy: and then he called me dad!
so i think show!alicent would never sleep with criston cole (and vice versa) and i truly believe that only makes them desire each other more. and there's something deeply exciting to me about how twisted that is.
like yeah i enjoy the idea of the bubble finally bursting and them having having dramatic passionate sex, but i dont really see that as being in character for them (although I WILL read those fics)
I can only see a continuation of years of torturous tension...of them making meaningful eye contact and then looking away, flustered, or lightly brushing hands and savouring the few moments of physical contact they can have without being improper
i think both of them have wild fantasies that neither of them will ever act upon because it will ruin the ideals of purity and devotion that they want for themselves and each other
i think if either of them acted upon their sexual desires, the other would not only be disappointed, but lose interest entirely
however, i think if they became aware of each others sexual desires and even acknowledged them...but made it clear that they would never touch each other...that would just drive both of them crazy with lust because they would be proving to each other that no matter how much they want each other, they have the fortitude to resist...even though it's so so difficult
and i think thats really messed up and really really hot
i love them
gotta come up with some ways for them to express intimacy without touching, or at least not touching in a way that's overtly romantic or sexual - its gonna involve a lot of religious stuff for sure
Mainly a Hotd blog but I also enjoy talking about Asoiaf and Aot. Book!Alicent and Criston slander is not permitted here. 19
