I just rant a lot ˙⋆✮🖤✮⋆˙

[milfhunter125]

I will never understand Viserys Targaryen. Sir you tortured your first wife with pregnancy after pregnancy, that she could not handle, for a male heir. You had her brutally cut open in hopes of having a son. You marry another young girl to have male heirs. Then when she gives you the male heirs you have literally killed for YOU IGNORE THEM AND LEAVE THEM NO INHERITANCE??? Bro what?? They didn't get no throne, no good marriage prospects, and no title except being princes. I will never understand how book or show viserys didn't see the fact that they hated him because he's literally useless. I wouldn't have cared about what he wanted I would have just taken the throne as well if I was in their position. Why would they respect him and his wishes?????

Aemond baby, get behind me.

[lendaryjack]

no one was sweating harder than the seven kingdoms watching every heir drop like flies while aerion kept getting closer and closer to the line of succession

[sansa-stark-is-me]

When Cersei Lannister loses Joffrey, people mock her grief because they hate Joffrey. When Alicent Hightower breaks down after Aemond loses his eye, people call her evil and a monster. But when Maekar Targaryen crying “my boy, my boy,” and killing his own brother by an accident suddenly everyone understands. Suddenly grief is understandable.

The difference isn’t the grief. The grief is the same. It’s the gender.

When fathers grieve, it’s seen as humanizing. It makes them sympathetic. When mothers grieve, especially mothers who are politically active / assertive, it’s treated as evilness and selfishness. Their grief is supposed to be manipulative instead of human.

And what makes it worse is that all of these cases involve children. Joffrey was cruel, yes, but he was still Cersei’s child. Aemond was permanently mutilated as a child, and Alicent’s terror and rage came from knowing exactly what that meant in a system where physical vulnerability could become political vulnerability.

It’s not about the child. It’s about who is allowed to be human. Queens who grieved or sought justice for their children were called manipulative or greedy bc women were supposed to be calm, obedient, and controlled at all times. Emotional expression like grief, rage or anger are forbidden.

It’s not the act of grieving it’s the gendered lens through which society (and fandom) interprets it.

and to think aerion lowkey could have taken dunk in a 1 vs 1 like, dunk was full on getting his ass handed to him, aerion genuinely could have won by himself but no, he had to involve 12 others in his folly lol

[your-gracelyn]

I’ll probably get crucified for this but

Alicent and Maekar are kinda similar. They both love their children to death but I don’t think they particularly like them lol.

Alicent stands in front of a dragon for Aegon and tries to attack Luke/Rhaenyra for Aemond. But she also tells Aegon he’s “no son of mine” for raping Dyanna. And she says “you know what Aemond is” implying he’s a bit unhinged, and tries to protect Haelena from him.

Maekar is disappointed in Daeron for being drunk and not a fighter, and he surely knows Aerion is a monster to some degree. Egg is running off bald to squire for random hedge knights. But he fights for them anyway, against his own brother, and screams “my boy!” when Dunk is beating Aerion’s ass. And he lets Egg keep being Dunk’s squire.

They both love their children but I think that love is sometimes enabling their kids behaviours which they are disappointed in them for.

Despite these similarities they both get very different reactions from viewers… (and someone will no doubt have a go at me for this observation/opinion.)

I’m not letting you guys forget about this ANYTIME soon

[littlemodernbabe]

Imagine you’re a kings guard and you think you’re gonna have a real quick tourney for your king because someone (finally) punched the brat and you turn around and LYONEL FUCKING BARATHEON pulls up to fight against you and so does BAELOR FUCKING TARGARYEN

SHAUN THOMAS as RAYMUN FOSSOWAY and PETER CLAFFEY as DUNCAN THE TALL A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS // 1.03 The Squire

[souldreamie]

This isn't one of the Greens saying it. It's not Otto Hightower. It's Aegon V, a direct descendant of Rhaenyra, saying this to Ser Duncan the Tall.

"How many Aegons have been king?" "Four. Four Aegons."

Egg (Aegon V) lists FOUR kings named Aegon:

Aegon I, the Conqueror

Aegon II

Aegon III

Aegon IV, the Unworthy

Now look at the second image. An official gallery of Targaryen monarchs, from the Conqueror to Aerys II, the Mad.

Who appears? Aegon II

Who doesn't appear? Rhaenyra Targaryen

And before anyone says "usurpation" or "rewritten history"— Westeros' own succession system, official records, and subsequent kings recognize Aegon II as the legitimate king.

In fact: Aegon is the firstborn son, as the law of Westeros dictates. He was crowned, sat on the Iron Throne, reigned, and entered the official list of monarchs.

Rhaenyra? A pretender. She was named heir (just to alleviate Viserys' guilt for what he did to Aemma), but did not have a proper coronation nor was she anointed by a septon. She only claimed the title of queen, but was never officially recognized as reigning monarch.

I'll also leave a link here to the official list of Targaryen monarchs — Rhaenyra is not on the list of kings. She appears on the list of claimants to the Iron Throne — alongside the Blackfyres, other lines that also claimed the throne but were never recognized as reigning monarchs. The history of Westeros may be cruel, unfair... But it is clear. Team Green doesn’t need to convince anyone. The canon has already decided.
