In some ways they are as different as night is to day...
Aegon, who was born to be the 2nd of his name
Aegon, the 2nd of his name who was born for nothing
Aegon, the usurped
Aegon, the usurper
Aegon, who wanted the throne but was never able to take it
Aegon, who never wanted the throne but was given it
Aegon, who rode a silver dragon
Aegon, who rode a golden dragon
Aegon, who was named heir over his elder sister just for being born male
Aegon, who would have been named heir over his elder sister just for being born male if his father had been any other king, or if his mother had been his father's first Queen, the favored Queen
...yet in other ways, they're...
Aegon, who was named for the conqueror
Aegon, the second child & first surviving son
Aegon, who's terrible uncle's hated them for having a better claim to the throne
Aegon, who had 2 little brothers
Aegon, the son of a foolish weak king
Aegon, who was wed to his sister at 15
Aegon, who's sister wife rode Dreamfyre
Aegon, who became a father to twins by 16
Aegon, who didn't gave up on his goals
Aegon, who had to die, who's children had to die, to make space for someone better, and someone more important
...& their stories are the same.
Streets saying Aegon will try to off himself, as seen by what appears to be a strangle mark in this EW photo. OMG!
Thinking about the twins stealing things and being chased all over the castle in an effort to retrieve what has been stolen.
Alicent's best quill is suddenly gone. Oh dear, there's the dowager queen chasing her squealing granddaughter down the corridor.
Criston's Hand pin has evaporated off of his tunic. There's the Hand of the King tailing the little prince, who is holding the pin above his head and laughing in delight.
Give me Alicole being grandparents. Give me their kids egging THEIR kids on and causing chaos.
Give me the Greens being happy.
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? đ 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, alicentâs 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 kingâs 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.
Team black on their way to argue with an iron chair
I swear to god the team black stans are gonna go wild/or silent when rhaenyra sits on the iron throne only to get more cuts than aerys and her father.
What are they gonna say, that the iron throne is sexist? Is the inanimate iron chair suppressing rhaenyras rights?
In all serious tho it would start cutting when she starts torturing people and taxing the smallfolk.
Like i fully believe aegon i's ghost is there and just living there as a spirit just to cut his desendants and as a warning to the people that the ruler is going too far.
It seems to me that Aegon said this to Otto
Luke and Jaehaerys watching both their families hesitating to fight each other even after their deaths:
Tell me Iâm not the only one who's been thinking this
To people saying Alicent is somehow a rape supporter by placing Aegon on the throne⌠are you good??? Did you not see Alicent slap him and denounce him as her son after what he did to Dyana? And to those saying something along the lines of âshe should have killed himâ or âshe shouldnât have supported his claimâ; first of all most of you belong to the same part of the fathom that say that Alicent should have been punished for attacking Rhaenyra, and then you want her to kill a prince?!?!? Iâm sorry where is the logic it that. Also, her son being a morally corrupt person doesnât mean she should endanger the lives of all of her children and grandchildren by allowing Rhaenyra to become queenďżź. Like, sure, sorry Aemond, Helaena and Daeron, your brother is not a good person so Iâm leaving all of you (as well as the realm) at the mercy of Daemon and Rhaenyra who have openly killed people that stood in their way and spoke the truth before but no Iâm sure itâll be fine, sheâs your sister, never mind the fact that she threatened to torture your ten year old brother after her sons maimed him for speaking the truth, Iâm sure itâs all good now and sheâs going to leave Viserysâ THREE male legitimate sons running around in peace.
Also, if Alicent is supporting rape by being in proximity to Aegon and giving him more power what on earth does that make Rhaenyra who placed wifekiller blood supremacist Daemon at her side??? Make it make sense.
I just had to do it
egg ii charmed me with his goofy unserious ass in the trailers
Mainly a Hotd blog but I also enjoy talking about Asoiaf and Aot. Book!Alicent and Criston slander is not permitted here. 19
