Keeping Up With The Targaryens, Episode 11: Let The Games Begin

The "Keeping Up" crew is covering each day of the tourney, as well as providing post-joust analysis from our field-side commentator Ser Lyonel Baratheon. Here's day 1, where we also ran into some familiar faces!

...And some stuff that did not go as planned.

(“Pleasedon'tkillmePrinceAerion")

We also spoke to Prince Aerion, who told his side of the story (and generously shared his evening plans).

maybe dyanna did balance out maekar's temper but she does it by getting into stupid little arguments with him. maekar is a grumpy mf who itches for a fight and is a contrarian for the fuck of it (drawing this from the ashford castle scene, god he rly is aerion's dad) so I think it would be really fun if the reason why he fell for dyanna is that she indulges that side of him. oh, maekar thinks flowers are frivolous? dyanna would argue against him about it to death, purchase plants against his will, while maekar would groan as he calls someone to make her a garden. sometimes they might agree with each other's point, but they still argue about it anyways. it's like having lawyer parents, that's why their kids are so mouthy. the concept of maekar and dyanna making a debate team out of their family is so funny and so cursed.

I truly believe Maekar had the best (and hottest) armor out of everyone…ever, this is not up for debate LOOK at this man. God the costume designers deserve awards for their work because every single time I watch the trial of seven I just want to run my tongue across that steel I’m on my knees licking the hilt of his mace that’s on his hip I want those pointy little scales to poke my fingers when I run my hands over him I NEED TO FUCK HIM WHILE HE WEARS IT 😭

[bucketsofsomethingorother]

Maekar's worst trait is that he loves his children too much. It's in "This man attacked my son" and "He's my last son" and taking the side of his most disappointing children even when he knows that they can't possibly be in the right. Daeron has the right of it when he points out that Egg could become a monster like Aerion if trapped in Summerhall, but Maekar refuses to see that because he hasn't realized that love isn't always enough. It didn't save Daeron, it didn't save Aerion, it won't save Egg.

Maekar is a tragedy because he does not want to lose his children, but in holding them too tightly he already has.

Maekar Targaryen's greatest hits: "OOUGH", "HA🦆HA🦆huh", "eugh🙄", "oh", "Hhhh-" and "idiOT!"

What Maekar saw:

This scene is so funny to me, because look at them! That's a "don't look at eachother because you know you'll break if you do" reaction. And that's so funny to me. Im having visions of the in court and just full body turning away from eachother as soon as Lord Whatshisface starts speaking, because they know they can handle him on their own, but if they see that the other is finding it funny, then it's game over

Not Papa Maekar in the background, popping his head out to make sure oldest failson is doing what he said 🥺

Keeping Up With The Targaryens: Episode 1 (The Family Arrives At Ashford)

House Targaryen makes its way to an otherwise unremarkable region, and the boys have some thoughts on the matter.

[klara-nya]

AKoTSK... as cats! (Targs)

Baelorlings being just little angels and Maekarlings... actually not being that chaotic since dad's watching and Aerion behaves when he's with him but he's still smirking evilly at poor Egg bc he's a little shit <3

More sketches and thoughts under the cut!

I love Maekar so much, "stressed and grumpy mother" coded characters are one of my fav.

More details: - Daeron has a symbolic star in his eye for his visions/dreams. - He's definitively on catnip. - I couldn't find good descriptions of Rhae and Daella so I ended giving one full Targ colouring and the other is a brown tabby (like her mom) but with white markings and lilac eyes. - I NEED to know more about those two and Aemon GIMME MORE MAEKAR CONTENT WITH HIS CHILDREN I'M BEGGING. - Any Targaryen has lilac eyes (or purple) in my mind, so Matarys and Daella get those even if they are not silvery white. - Baelor has a white spot under his lilac eye showing his Targaryen genes and he passed it to his son. I'm soooo weak for the lilac&brown eye combo for Baelor and Valarr <333. He's a mini-Baelor but with a brownish tint in his fur and a bigger white marking referencing his silver hair strand in canon. - Traditional Targaryen cats will be a bit pinkish when little and will get silvery o more golden when they age (look at Maekar compared to Egg, Rhae and Aemon). - Yes, Dunk would be a Maine Coon mix. - Don't ask me how all the dragon riders stuff could work here, I don't know lol.

I have a feeling if Maekar was a cat, he’d be grumpy cat.

Some people in fandom desperately need to become obsessed with something SUPER niche and obscure. Something with like 10 active fans at the very most. Something with only 6 fics if you're very lucky, all but one written by the same dedicated fan. Something where when you do find a fan account, it's been innactive for years. Something that's not available on streaming and its only physical release was never released in your country. Let it humble you.

[godteri-takk]

Ok so Bernd das Brot isn't THAT unpopular but it checks a lot of those boxes xD That made me curious tho, is there.. fic of Bernd? I should try n find some :O

[godteri-takk]

.... Ao3 has 5 Bernd das Brot fics, and most of them are Harry Potter crossovers. What the hell. Imma read them.

Oh my gooood. Okay so the first one, where Bernd meets Snape, was so funny and absurd. How did SterlingFiction come up w that?? Also cool that Bernd and the narrator thing spoke German lol.

... ok i think thats enough actually, the rest of the hp crossovers had an explicit content warning and I don't wanna read about Draco fucking a loaf of bread soooo we'll end it here

In any tomato based sauce, vodka, or any strong alcohol doesn't make the dish taste more like alcohol, it releases alcohol soluble elements from the tomato itself, making it taste sweeter, richer and more tomato than even just tomatoes themselves, this adds acidity, which is often tempered by the addition of dairy (usually heavy cream) a la vodka is not a delicate sauce, but any means, it's made with a full intention of every major ingredient hitting well above it's weight. And if you want it even better, try using a good botanical gin or a pepper vodka for even more intensity.
