Targaryen

I don't think we discussed THIS enough

This is the first time EVER we've seen Vinny smile so sincerely, Yumi genuinely made him realise and believe that he DESERVES happiness (of course author crushes these dreams soon after because apparently Vinny isn't allowed to be happy or something) but that smile is just so whole and it's just barely a smile but it's so cute and it makes me so happy to see him allow himself and believe that he can have nice things and have a happy life.

Promo stills and Screenshots from episode 10.

[twow]

just watched the ep 10 preview here's my thoughts:

literal chills from seeing the scenes at storm's end. its one of the moments i was most looking forward to seeing come to life from the books, its gonna be crazy. for a show that's called house of the dragon we've barely seen any dragons so i am SO excited to finally get some dragon action

already dreading the further girlbossification of rhaenyra. let her be a little bit evil!! its no fun if one side is cartoonishly evil and the other is unambiguously the Good Guys

PAINTED TABLE... stannis moment 😏. also idk what they did but it looks sick i love it

winterfell i miss you!! cant wait to see cregan (altho likely not until next season)

IS THAT CANNIBAL??? GOD I HOPE SO THAT DRAGON LOOKS SO COOL HES MY FAVORITE DRAGON. also if it IS cannibal and daemon is singing in high valyrian to him depending on his reaction we could get an answer to the "cannibal is a native westerosi dragon" thing

although i've overall been disappointed with house of the dragon so far next week looks fun and im excited to watch

I feel like I didn’t even get my fix this week bc there was no Rhaenyra/Daemyra LOL (#addictbehavior)

(Me at Daemyra gifs)

Princess Rhaenys I so wish you could have been Queen. You above all else deserve it. God what an incredible entrance on Meleys. It really made up for the lack of Daemon and Rhaenyra this episode. At least to me. Just wish she would have taken out Alicent and Otto then and there and saved us all the trouble but the show must go on I suppose

The 1x10 promo... I'm sending my therapy's bill to Hbomax

parallels: daemon and rhaenyra on the opposite side of the egg conflict and now them on the same side with him protecting her as his queen

[thethingsthisgirldoes-blog]

The way I was screaming "Dracarys" at my tv!!! 🐉🔥🔥🔥 Yes Rhaenys!! Save that bitch for Rhaenyra. Cause baby she's coming and Alicent ass better be ready, ready!! 🖤🖤🖤 And don't even get me started on her armor 😍😍😍 She is serving Targaryen realness!! 😏 (I'm sorry, did I just see Ser Criston Cole kill another person and not get punish?!?! 🤔 I can't wait till they get his ass. He all out of control 🙄)

[thekayarlene-deactivated2022112]

Daemon puts himself in danger and goes to the dangerous dragons that no one could claim to sing to them high Valyrian in hopes of taming them to help Rhaenyra in her war. THE BEST TARGARYEN MAN AND BEST HUSBAND EVER TO EXIST IN WESTROS!!!!

[thethingsthisgirldoes-blog]

I don't wanna hear ANYTHING when she gets NASTY and starts commiting war crimes, cause I'll be standing right there with her. 🖤🖤🖤 They did her DIRTY!! Didn't even tell her that her dad died. 😢

House of the dragon future spoilers and spoilers for episode 9

Im I the only one that thinks that HOTD is green propaganda? Like aegon and alicent have a redemption arc and they make rhaenyra seem like she is the one who takes the worst choices. I know that George r.r Martin writes characters that are grey ,Daemon as an example but Aegon II who is literally a rapist have a redemption arc like why ?

I am not ready for the season finale.

It will hurt my heart to see everything unfold at Storm's End and Dragonstone.

No matter what passes between Daemon and Rhaenyra, (fight, the loss of their daughter, and the Dance itself) I still think their love and devotion to one another will remain an integral part of the show in future seasons.

It will change, to be sure, and there will be more angst than we can handle. This is Westeros after all. It was never going to end with a HEA.

No, I haven't read Fire and Blood, but I more or less have learned the main plot points of the Dance. In the end, Daemon charges to battle for love of his wife and their family, no matter what the biased Eustace and Mushroom report.

I think the show will continue to depict the strong bond that Daemon and Rhaenyra have always shared in future seasons. I don't think the writers and show runners have spent most of the season building Daemon and Rhaenyra's story only to throw it away in the finale.

Their love will be shown through actions, if not words. But I still think we will get some love filled words in future episodes and seasons. Daemon is a man of unwavering loyalty. He has sworn everything to Rhaenyra. The romance might fade, but the love and devotion will not.

Rhaenyra will be pushed to her limits during the war, but Daemon will remain on her side no matter what, in whatever way she needs most, whether it is lover, protector, soldier, devoted uncle, husband, or father of her children.

But I am fully prepared for the season finale to rip my heart out, stomp on it, and then burn the ashes for good measure.

i was really excited for Episode 10, but after watching the trailer I think my brain has finally registered the impending doom that is upon us and the subsequent buckets of tears that I will end up shedding a week from today 😭

[callsign-blue]

Also, I literally cannot shut up about the blacks episode, which is the season final.

Seeing Rhaenys and her dragon flying to Dragonstone, informing Rhaenyra of usurpation and the lack of information upon her father’s death.

It seems like in the preview for the next episode towards the end, Daemon was singing a song or melody to another dragon that is not Caraxes nor Syrax. It seemed bigger than two, let me just say I’m excited to see it I gasp when I saw the head of the dragon. Because it seems like the dragon he was singing to was more rough, cut, and defined features to where it wasn’t old, but it wasn’t so young that it wasn’t in adolescence.

I’m also very happy to see Rhaenys more in action, then in words, because her dragon is known as the Red Queen. We Will be putting respect to both their names. It’s also interesting, knowing that she bonded with the Red Queen and she was the Queen that never was. Kinda ironic in a funny not cynical way.

When they were around the Painted Table, when Jacaerys volunteered to go, I was like “don’t do it, do not do it” “ why did you offer? Why? Why!” in my head because we know what happens to her three kids sired from Ser Harwin strong, made him and his luscious locks rest in peace.

I read somewhere that this episode was very much about the greens and the next was about the blacks and whoever said that was so right.

It felt so anti-climactic at the same time while watching it in the beginning but towards the end, obviously we saw what happened with Rhaeyns and her dragon. But I wasn’t told differently. Are we about to see all  17 different dragons at once or are we going to see them throughout each season or leading up to the Dance of the Dragon? Or is each season, obviously, going in chronological order leading up to a different conflict leading to into the dance of the dragons?

When listening to that little extra stuff, at the end of the episode this week you can see obviously in the episodes that Aegon truly doesn’t want the position but he’s doing it anyway. While Aemon truly, does possess the desire and logistics. I guess you could say of wanting the crown but unfortunately, he cannot due to not being the first born.

But I do ultimately like seeing how their characters develop, because as I said in the post before this. Aegon truly does express his emotions and doesn’t keep them inside, but he does it in such an unhealthy manner. He gets reprimanded anyway, while Aemon on the outside is very collected, logistic, but in the inside he’s very much shows his displeasure, and he keeps his emotions in. It was back in the episode called “Driftmark”, i think, while Aegon is disgusted and disappointed to be have wedded to his sister Helaena, while Aemon really did what he needed to do for his duty and since then, he has genuinely cares about her and longs for her and yet he can’t do anything about it.

It’s also interesting to see the difference between the two brothers, Aegon and Aemon and compare them to Viserys and Daemon. Even though comparing them is unfair, but just bear with me here. Daemon it looked out for his brother’s best interest. And yes he did what he wanted a lot of the time, even though he was reprimanded a lot for his actions he also did love his brother very much, and would do anything for him, and did what was in the best interest for him while Aemon is very jealous of Aegon. We’ve noticed it since the driftmark episode and he wants what Aegon has, Helaena, power and not to be thought of as a the lesser. He also has a better physique and more of the mental game one should be able to play on others than Aegon. While Aemon has these qualities Aegon does not. Aegon holds the responsibility of being the first male air, and also the responsibilities of what is threated upon him with no consideration of his feelings because it’s his “birthright”. Also, he’s not very well having the same for seat and mentality as his younger brother.

Because when I saw Jacaerys volunteer to go somewhere I was like isn’t it a little too early for you to die? But then again, I don’t know.

If you know something about how the show is going to be keeping the chronological order of things, and how it leads up to the Dance of the Dragon, please comment politely , because I heard that they are going to keep it in order and having each season be a “conflict” leading up to the Dance, obviously I could be wrong. I can also read the book, which i purchased a few days ago and read that. But obviously TV shows and how they do things are different from the box and how they’re doing it.

Don't get me wrong, I love Rhaenys and always will, but I will never forgive her for not burning the greens alive when she had the chance.
