This is a clusterfuck. You have been warned.

The pettiest rivalry in poetry....probably

The rivalry of Byron and Keats where Byron is basically laughing at Keats after his death where Byron thinks that his critiques of Keats' works was the reason he is dead.

Don Juan, published by Byron after Keat's death contains this absolutely scathing stanza:

"John Keats, who was killed off by one critique,

Just as he really promised something great,

If not intelligible, -without Greek

Contrived to talk about the Gods of late,

Much as they might have been supposed to speak.

Poor fellow! His was an untoward fate:

'Tis strange the mind, that very fiery particle,

Should let itself be snuffed out by an Article."

Tell me if you know any moments other than this.

I am genuinely curious.

On a side note, there was an incident where Keats and Shelley had not heard from Byron for months. Concerned, rightfully so, Shelley went looking for him and he found Byron in Venice, Italy absolutely dehydrated and malnourished from having too much sex.

Keats' response to this was that they should have probably let him die....

I can't....

This is just so funny....🤣🤣🤣🤣

There is a character in every fandom where you could ship them with literally anyone and it just.....makes sense.

In ASOIAF it is Sansa Stark

In Naruto it is Sakura

In Mahabharata it is......well not to be controversial but it is most likely Karna. Trust me I have read fics that have fucked me up.

Prove me wrong.

If AKOTSK targaryens had dragons, this is who they would have:

Baelor Targaryen: Balerion/Vermithor

Maekar Targaryen: Caraxes/Vhagar

Valarr Targaryen: Tessarion

Martarys Targaryen: Meleys

Daeron Targaryen: Dreamfyre/Sunfyre

Aerion Targaryen: Sunfyre

Aegon Targaryen: Arrax

Daella Targaryen: Vermax

Rhae Targaryen: Tyraxes

Aerys Targaryen: Syrax/Meraxes

Rhaegal Targaryen: Morning

Daemon Blackfyre: Vhagar? Probably

Aelor and Aelora Targaryen: Seasmoke and Quicksilver

Brynden Rivers: Cannibal probably?

This is my headcannon. Feel free to disagree.

[depressed-overthinker]

Any targaryen who is not raised in the red keep turns out to be the sanest of their kind.

Case in point:

Daeron Targaryen, son of alicent

Aemon targaryen, maekarling

Conclusion: red keep is cursed and daenerys was right to burn it all.

[depressed-overthinker]

Prove me wrong:

Maekar is the sexiest targaryen name ever.

I think The Dance of The Dragons was inevitable. If it was not Aegon vs Rhaenyra, it would have been someone in their descendants.

It was Jahaerys who started this trickling of civil war circumstances that finally was overstuffed during Rhaenyras claim. Rhaenys had full right and to certain right extend full might to fight for her claim yet she didnt. But it finally boiled up when due to viserys indeciseveness.

If Rhaenyra and Aegon had not fought someone else may have found a reason to do so in their name and dragons would still go extinct because house targaryen is full of people who should not have had children but did it anyway with people they had no business being involeved with romantically. Say what u will but invreeding does breed instability even if bad looks due to incest are not part of grrm universe.

It just got some poetic name like 'targaryen madness' or 'everytime a targaryen is born, god flips a coin'.

Also this is a headcanon on my part but if the war did not happen, dragons would still die because the eggs were increasingly getting petrified and the dragons smaller in stature. Perhaps the latter issue stems from the chaining of the dragons perhaps not. Who knows?

Technically speaking, even the blackfyre rebellions were civil wars like dance of the dragons.

[miniaturewizardstudentsworld]

I think the dragons dying is more symbolic of how house Targaryen fell and was losing what made it “great” during the Conquest due to thier own greed and personal ambition.

As for the Dance and the it happened yeah. Jaehaerys at least had the cover of “we had an election” to shove Rhaenys out of what was rightfully hers. And she didn’t fight for it, choosing peace and stability over personal ambition. Which is good.

The downside is Viserys basically got handed the throne. And since the rules were bent to make him king he thought he could do the same for his favorite child. Never mind the circumstances are different and he didn’t even try to help Rhaenyra build a power base to secure her throne (because again he was handed the throne so why would it be different for her?). Never mind that of course there was going to be a problem. His family has never really been that good at not stabbing each other in the back for personal power.

On top of that. There’s Aegon’s line as the first born son of the king, Aegon’s brothers’ possible kids also as true born sons of the king, which by Andal law, are before Rhaenyra and her kids. And on top of that her “heir” was an obvious bastard. And on top of that she had “true born” sons with Daemon. Like even if the Greens all died or didn’t want the throne or left for Essos or whatever Rhaenyra’s sons line would have had thier own Dance because one side is from obvious bastards but would have the “Queen’s decree” and the other would be her true born kids. She literally set up an almost identical set of circumstances as her dad for her kids when she died-but with bastardy instead of sexism at the core.

The Dance was inevitable because the Targaryens played fast and loose with inheritance. They treated themselves as above the law when they as the ruling family were supposed to represent it. And conquering is easy. Especially with dragons. Ruling is hard and sometimes “Do what I say because I have a dragon and you don’t” doesn’t work.

The dragons died off not because of Maester conspiracies or the Targaryens adopting Andal law and tradition (if they had stuck to tradition as early as determining Jaehaerys’s heir the Dance wouldn’t have happened in the first place) the dragons all died because the Targaryens destroyed them in pursuit of absolute power in a system they set up themselves and the couldn’t maintain. The same thing happened in Valyria and I have a bad feeling about how the last books are going handle Dany and her dragons too.

[depressed-overthinker]

This..

And of course, Rhaenyra.

I do not want to bash female charcaters especially ones who are slaves to their circumstances but she was spoiled and stupid. And its not even her fault.

Viserys shoved the title of crown princess onto her but never taught her its responsibilities. It seemed like he did the bare minimumn to stave off his guilt while simultaneously taking away the last peace Rhaenyra could have had.

He does this to everyone. Viserys' fatal flaw is abusing the good in his life and then crying about it when its lost forever. First Aemma then Daemon then Rhaenyra and then Alicent, Aegon, Aemond, Halaena and Daeron.

Rhaenyra was ignorant to the lessons of ruling and when she did get the crown, it showed. Alicent and her side were not much better, they too had the same mentality that rhaenyra had. This sort of superiority complex targaryens had regarding themselves is their hamartia and sooner or later, it would have let them down.

Even if rhaenyra ascended peacefully, jace would never be accepted as the heir because of his obvious bastardy, no matter how much rhaenyra insisted on it. Being the first female monarch, her position would already be fragile enough. She will not take the risk of having such a controversial heir. She would have let go of jace sooner or later.

Viserys' whole life he lived in the past, never in the present or dreaming about the future and his family suffered for it.

Dragons died and in my opinion rightfully so because they were being reduced to destructive war machines when they were the last remnants of the magic of old valyria.

Those creatures are intelligent but to see them reduced to barbaric animals at their own riders hands and then forced to annihilate their own species is sad. I am sure somewhere they had an inclination perhaps that this war is not going to end in favor of anyone.

No matter how much targaryens said that dragon is not a slave yadayadayyada. It doesnt change the fact they were treated as such by them.

People look at Baelor Targaryen and wonder how that man doesnt have a dozen kids but i know why..... everyday he has the live view/news to his brothers fate and how close he is to having an aneurysm with 4 sons and probably is VERY thankful that he stopped at 2.

He loves his brother...he truly does but even he does not has the patience to deal with a drunken whore, a demon from hell, a nerd (who is the sanest one) and a runaway liar as sons.
