If someone manages to trick 35 different people into thinking they’re dating, I think it should not only not be illegal, but rewarded by a public medal of some kind

I’M SHRIEKING

Okay, but am I the only one who was tickled when Rhaenyra smacked into Ser Harwin Strong in that shady ass alleyway and he recognized her and just basically sent her on her merry way to continue with her mischief? Top tier, letting a gal have her fun.

Harwin Strong and Rhaenyra Targaryen House of the Dragon - 1.04 “King of the Narrow Sea”

[valleyhowler]

Viserys could have ruined Rhaenyra's entire life solely on those rumors alone but instead said he'd cut out the eyes of those who slandered his bb princess and sent her ye olde plan b on the down low because he knew something, somewhere, happened. Then immediately fired Otto for being a snake. That's what separates the Hightowers from the Targaryens. That loyalty is why I love the dragons.

Rhaenyra: “I swear it on my mother” Aemma in her grave:

[a-bit-fairy-tale]

Episode 4 of HotD shows the importance of having female directors tell stories about female-centric, and really gender-centric, issues.

So much of this episode works because of the care taken in the intimate moments, not just the sex stuff (which is more female gaze than 90% of sex scenes in commercial media) but the small moments of connection. The physical touches, the significant looks, and even the moments when characters lose control-- or are in situations out of their control.

You cannot convince me that the exact same script directed by a male director would have hit this well.

Okay but Alicent was mad MAD that Rhaenyra could have done those things it was not only concern it was also jealousy

[stilltrails]

Even putting aside the canon incestous relationships in GoT Lore, Rhaenyra and Daemon’s outing wasn’t this romantic get-away that folks are making it. His, “I’ll take her as she is,” wasn’t him being a caring, passionate lover–

He ruined her in order to destroy her reputation. And the reasoning, considering even of she was removed as heir her brother would be made heir, doesn’t make a lick of sense. He took out his teenage niece, got her drunk, assualted her in a brothel, and left her alone and exposed to go find her way back to the castle. 

Not an iota of remorse. Not an ounce of “are you okay”? 

Twitter folks have somehow deluded themselves into thinking there was any actual love during that scene, when it was clearly an example of Daemon manipulating and taking advantage of his niece for his own gain. Not to mention, he still clearly prefers Mysaria. That’s probably the only person, as of NOW, he actually genuiely loves and cares for. 

But he endangered his own niece and ruined her reputation, knowing what consequences it would bring. 

Like, tell me what part of that is apparently romantic since so many people think it is, incest not EVEN being an issue in this scenario. 

[last-ofthe-starks]

To anyone questioning Daemons intentions – do you really think the dude would get that piss drunk if he didn’t have feelings? Feelings that would trigger remorse? Feelings that would trigger shame? Guilt? Confusion?

He drinks himself into oblivion that night, to try and mask his feelings. We may never know exactly what actually went on inside Daemon’s head that night, and what specific feelings he has in this moment.

All I know is I wouldn’t immediately flee to go get blackout drunk if kissing someone didn’t mean anything to me.

[clairedearing]

Matt Smith literally said that Daemon was turned all the way off once he realized Rhaenyra was actually into it. Her enthusiastic consent turned him off. Its screaming grooming vibes to me. Plus I think he set her up so she would be seen on purpose. He just wants to be king
