Thinking About Benjen Walking Up To Lord Commander Mormont Like “🥺🥺🥺 Can My Nephew Please

He was a bookish boy and much preferred the library, where he could often be found. Books were his only passion. Vaegon was quiet and wary as a boy. Even as a child, Vaegon was not well-liked, something which did not change over time. When he had to speak he was often blunt, though never intentionally cruel: he always dutifully performed perfunctory courtesies, but no more.

vaegon... you will always be special to me!!

A Quote from the book Fire and Blood: 300 Years Before A Game of Thrones (A Targaryen History) (A Song of Ice and Fire)

"Whatever her powers, it would seem Daemon Targaryen was immune to them, for little is heard of this supposed sorceress whilst the prince held Harrenhal."

And that my dears, is the summary of a whole fucking season of Deamon hallucinating in Harrenhal!

alicent poisoned her children and fed them lies so they could hate rhaenyra and her children. alicent abused rhaenyra so badly she had to go away to dragonstone. alicent's own hatred is what caused her son to lose his eye. alicent helped her father and her son usurp the rightful heir to the throne. alicent's hatred is what caused aemond to go after luke and killing him. alicent is the root for all of rhaenyra's suffering and problems but she's still nice and pleasant enough with that woman? she should want her head on a spike but sure, 20 years ago they were friends and that explains why she would put her own life at risk to meet with that woman and somehow make peace terms with the party that ALREADY sent shitty peace terms wtf girl bye

alicents green dress moment was nothing short of pick me vibes. She ruined another women's wedding by coming late and trying to outshine her. She'd be mocked in reality if this was a real event.

Realistically this scene should indicate to everyone that alicent wasn't fit to be Queen. She comes in late, wears war colours and the dress itself is revealing so goes against her faith (the faith of the seven). She made herself look like a bad Queen consort in front of everyone important. Yet the narrative is painting her as badass and stuff. It was cringe and definitely not badass. She was not fit to be Queen and team green are definitely just blind if they think she is

Because the whole point of this scene was for Alicent to be the most important and such a "badass". After all, TG are so excited that everyone stood up in amazement at the sight of her, but not when Daemon entered! As if standing up for the queen's entrance was not required…

For me, Alicent's entire behavior at the wedding was completely cringe and I will never change my mind, because she showed a complete lack of any respect not only for the crown, but also for the Velaryon family, because they were the guests of honor. Alicent was a completely adult woman (both by Westeros standards and by modern ones), and she behaved like an offended child, because her former friend did not tell her the truth about her sexual life… as if Alicent's father had not sent spies after Rhaenyra, did not want to ruin her and there was no risk that Alicent would immediately run to him with the news. And you know "she didn't confide in me about the sex" = "this is war!!!!", because it's obvious that this will mean that Rhaenyra will want to murder her and her children in the future, and nothing will help protect your own life better than making a potential executioner your worst enemy. Alicent has a brain.

if it wasnt clear before,

THIS BLOG IS TEAM BLACK AND WE RIDE FOR QUEEN RHAENYRA TARGARYEN, THE REALMS DELIGHT, FIRST OF HER NAME, QUEEN OF THE ANDALS, THE RHOYNAR AND THE FIRST MEN, LADY OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, PROTECTOR OF THE REALM

Oh don't mind me. I am once again upset and flabbergasted by the favoritism toward Greens in screen time ratio.

We get two long scenes of Aegon making a fool of himself but not Jace's reaction to the prophesy shown, we don't even hear him listen to all of it.

Overlong scenes of Alicent and her potential pregnancy and Larys but no more reactions shown to Rhaenyra's absence.

Two unnecessary long scenes of Gwayne making fun of Criston but we don't see Rhaenys saying goodbye to Corlys. No scene of Rhaenys interacting with Baela or Jace or Rhaenyra. Saying goodbye to them. Even though this was her last appearance. The showrunners disrespect toward Rhaenys needs to be studied. She had one interaction with each of her granddaughters in the whole show and nothing with her grandsons.

Overlong montage of Criston taking in the destruction but no scene of how Jace is placed at the centre of council in his mother's absence.

None of the Team Black characters are given room to breathe. They barely get any screen time. Their emotions and conflicts are made secondary to disposable filler scenes of Greens. While all Team Black scenes are rushed and given no room to breathe.

This is not only incredibly unfair but also making the show quite a bore to sit through. And HBO wonders why the ratings are falling. People don't want to see the same thing with Greens over and over again when they're not developing. They haven't earned excessive screentime. Believe me, everyone's tired of this mess.

I see so many people commenting on Aegon III and Viserys II’s decision not to officially declare their mother the Queen after the war.

For some strange reason, it’s regarded as sons spurning their mother, and not a true sacrifice of their beliefs in order to ensure peace and prosperity in the Realm after a terrible war.

Rhaenyra’s boys were all loyal to her and they loved her until the end. Not one of them declared her a pretender. In their hearts, they knew she had been the rightful Queen, but they agreed to a great injustice, they agreed to make peace with their enemies, just so the people wouldn’t suffer anymore.

Now, my question is this: if the roles were reversed, and the Greens had been the ones who won the war, would they have agreed to keep Rhaenyra’s title as “Queen” in histories for the sake of peace?

Not on your life.

And that is what makes the Blacks better than the Greens.

Me when people say that Aemond is a better fighter than Daemon and is going to kill him

no lube, no protection, all night, all day, vertically, horizontally, missionary, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, doggy, backwards, sideways, upside down, on the floor, in the bed, on the couch, in a chair, outside, in a train, on a plane, in the car, in the shower, on the street🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

I think the Team Green fixation on Jaehaera is honestly pathetic and embarassing. She’s not the first or last child to suffer or die in ASOIAF, nor end her bloodline. Why did the Velaryon boys all have to die brutal deaths ? What about all the peasant children who burn up in Aemond’s rampages, or suffer mass rape and murder at Bitterbridge and Tumbleton ? Why do Shireen, Myrcella, Tommen have to suffer a horrible fate ? I never see the same insistence that any of them make it.

I think her death serves two important narrative stories. First, it secures the pyrrhic victory, by ending the Green’s bloodline and making their supposed efforts for self-preservation completely null. It evens the slate between the Greens and Blacks (Greens get the history books, Blacks get the actual bloodline).

But I think the more important narrative is how it demonstrates the effect of the Dance on women in the universe. The irony that the Greens last claimant to the throne is invalid because of their efforts. Jaehaera is deemed unimportant and replaceable by her own faction because of gender, and is therefore relegated to a vulnerable and unprotected position. Their ideology kills the last of their bloodline. She is usurped and killed by an ambitious lord with the same motivations as her grandfather had for usurping Rhaenyra. It shows the cyclical nature of violence against girls and women who have little value in their society, except as bloodline vessels and maybe curators of political favors and supportive wives.
