helaena and daemon not interacting at all is crazy given that she astral projected herself into his life changing weirwood mushroom trip but also I can’t think of anything I want less than for him to come within 50 feet of her

#hotd critical #helaena targaryen #I wonder if rhaenyra is going to bring up Helaena being a dreamer to daemon or something #but idk daemon is on another pointless side quest so idk if he cares

I do think there's an element of continuing his one sided rivalry with Harwin in Larys's relationship with Aegon. yet another elder brother who had everything he didn't and didn't use it exactly the way Larys would have. Harwin was foolish and squandered his advantages by falling for a princess and fathering her sons. Harwin and Aegon were successful sexually, they had friends, they had favor and influence in their respective stations as sworn shield and crown prince, they were attractive and liked and wanted for little, all things Larys had to acquire through guile, through coercion, through unjust means. the brother he wanted to manipulate was Aemond, but he had to settle for Aegon after Aemond saw straight through him and that RANKLES

By essentially abducting Aegon, Larys gets to keep tormenting the brother he never could outpace and this time he gets to have the upper hand.

not to be a downer but i miss jace :/

#i miss him more than anyone in hotd does btw

what i will say is gwayne wanting criston to live with him at oldtown and ???presumably??? quit the kingsguard [impossible] is kind of lolsy when i think about it too deeply but in terms of good quality fujobait it was 10/10

"I have had conversations about Gwayne’s feelings for Cole, and that they have developed into more than just camaraderie and a professional working relationship."

#Criston Cole #gwayne hightower #gwaynston #fabien if I could high five you I would I really would

It must be so awesome to be an actor in a protracted storyline with basically only one other guy and independently decide your characters are gay for each other

#oh mama.... my heart is fluttering lol #so absically gwayne x criston was real thank u bb #just makes me all the more sad for gwayne #now did he and criston explore each others bodies? very important info that we need

hotd should go out of its way to never ever EVER bring up the passing of time, or how long it takes to go certain distances ever again lol i can usually suspend my disbelief when it comes to teleporting around the KingsLanding-Tumbleton-Harrenhal Bermuda Triangle but they just had to include a line about how long of a journey it is to go from KL to Tumbleton in the same episode where we have Baratheons fast traveling around

#also pls never bring up ages or years ever again lol #what do u mean in s2 jace is presumably 20 based on rhaenyra saying #she has suffered rumors for 20 YEARS in regards to her children when jacey was like maybe 16 in s1 #and then dont get me started on s1 [fake]gwayne being a grown ass man and in s2 he says he hasnt seen alicent since they were children #like lolwhat #and the septon saying it has been months since viserys died like that sounds insane #hotd critical #just be like later season of GOT where they didnt even try to pretend fast travel wasnt a thing #but they also almost never had lines about how long ago x event was

The way this show treats dragonrider/dragon bonds continues to confuse me to no end. Especially when it came to fDaeron and the Laenor fakeout death. Rhaenyra is implying here that it isn't possible to disconnect yourself from your dragon once you have bonded to it. Meaning where you go, your dragon goes. When Laenor fake died and went to Essos and Seasmoke didn't follow him, that never made any sense to me. I tried to fill in the gaps in logic for the show, so I assumed it was similar to when you leave your house and lose connection to your wifi once you're a certain radius away from your internet router lol like Seasmoke's bluetooth connection to Laenor was disrupted or something.

But then that just makes the fake Daeron plot all the more silly. How did Daemon and Rhaenyra not find it strange that fDaeron was able to separate from Tessy?

#idk if this made any sense #but anyways i have a lot of thoughts about bluetooth dragon bonds #hotd critical #the seasmoke thing is so dumb why would seasmoke not have just followed laenor to essos #unless its implied that dragon bluetooth stops at the ocean??? [not blackwater bay tho for some reason lol]#dragon bluetooth is region locked to the westeros map boundaries #and i swear in s1 and s2 it's implied seasmoke has been hanging out on driftmark this whole time so i...guess???#remember when rhaegal and viserion broke out of the pyramid just 4 the love of their mommy
