-gwayne thinking ormund was “cruel”

-daeron being adept at reading omund’s emotions, anticipating his anger, and then trying to protect other people from it

-tessarion acting protective of daeron around ormund

-ormund acting “fatherly” while raising daeron to dislike his actual father

-ormund raising daeron to think of himself as “different” from his “savage” family-but only thanks to ormund of course. if daeron disappoints ormund, he’s returning to his “savage” origins

-the irony of alicent thinking she saved daeron from a doomed upbringing while unknowingly sending him off to something worse

yeah, more like ormund groomtower

I love how the new episode portrays the bond between dragons and their riders. Daemon and Caraxes are so familiar with each other, Daemon smacks the saddle and tells him to shush like a friend. Though, of course we also have the continuing theme of dragons refusing to obey which is great. Daemon is an experienced rider of 30+ years, it’s not like Rhaena or Aemond where you could argue they weren’t skilled enough, it’s a blatant show that dragons could simply choose not to obey at any time and the riders are completely helpless.

Aegon and Rhaena are both really interesting in how they mirror their dragons. Aegon is injured and dying/dead, the first time we’ve seen him happy since Rook’s Rest is with Sunfyre again. It almost gives the vibe that he wishes he could curl up and die next to his dragon.

Meanwhile Rhaena has fully changed her look to match Sheepstealer’s wild nature. It’s a bond that’s clearly grown a lot stronger since Ep 1 as now he listens to her, she can fly with ease, and he’s very protective. For once, she argues back against her father, denies him, insults his ideas for how they can fix it. Completely refuses to even consider giving Sheepstealer up. Obviously there are a lot of other factors but it suggests that just being around Sheepstealer is influencing her own behavior. After all, she does claim “He is a part of me.” (He’s not in the episode but Aemond very similarly changes his whole personality after claiming Vhagar.)

Lastly, Daeron, who clearly loves Tessarion but has her locked up, a very literal metaphor for choosing his Hightower side over his Targ side. And she follows his lead into violence immediately after Daeron kills Kat’s brother, burning the corpse and notably stomping all over the candles, the symbol of his past piety and his gentleness. They’re very wordlessly in sync, possibly because she was a cradle hatchling so they’ve had that bond for years and even as he rejects his Targaryen blood, he’ll have that connection to her that can’t be broken.

realising daeron is a fawner just like his mother……..aemond is fight aegon is flight helaena is freeze but daeron is just trying to Be Good so he doesn’t get punished.

This thread is almost eight years old and it has damn well earned its place among the Tumblr pantheon as a Heritage Post™️

thinking about how fucking insane it would be to be pantalone on the day zandik died. what do you even fucking do. how do you face them in the moment that you realize the love of your life died without you there. and that theres no way they tried to save him. they look too excited.

and then to only be given your own true immortality as a result of his death and their disregard for his body which, had it been feofan’s decision, probably would have been buried peacefully and respectfully untouched by scalpels. how bitter would that taste. man

if you have a problem with any of the fictional pairings that i enjoy on the internet, for the low cost of $9,000 you can pay me to care about what you think

Madness lies in your trust

Unstoppable Force (Dottore having the skill and resources to treat Pantalone and scold him for his poor health decisions) vs Immovable Object (Pantalone's absolute belief that Dottore can fix whatever health issue he has and therefore not changing his behaviors)

[shirotssu]
