According to me @mimbletonia-mimbulus - Tumblr Blog

If we're trying to explain Rhaenyra's unreasonable actions: she's alone. She's had no one truly honest with her since her mother's death, she trusts nobody, and she's easy prey for manipulation — Daemon did it, Alicent did it, and now Mysaria is doing it.

#there's no explanation for bad writing #house of the dragon #hotd

Baela Targaryen, dragonrider, daughter of Daemon and Laena (yes, that Laena, who rode Vhagar), a girl who made her own choices even in situations where she had no choice, brave and rebellious — and they've reduced her to a love triangle plot device.

That's just sooo sad.

How is Oscar Tully — literally a teenager yesterday — smarter and more decisive than half the adult characters?

Loved how he handled himself with Roddy the Ruin. Roddy's what, ten times his age? With one hundred times the battles? And still.

Larys and Aegon are literally an elderly married couple making up after a fight and the silent treatment. The way Larys reconciliatorily slid that apple over to Aegon 😅

Deniz, sweetie, remember that school will end — and sooner than you think. In adult life, it really doesn't matter who someone was in school. Go to university, travel, work, take care of yourself, live YOUR life. Don't waste a single minute on scumbags, and remember: healing other people is not your job — everyone has to heal themselves.

So, does Mysaria already know about Helaena's pregnancy?

Helaena is obviously keeping it secret, but she's missing her cycles — and the maids would definitely know.

Surely Mysaria has spies among those who are constantly around the royal family?

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Season 3, Episode 4 "Tumbleton"

#i don't need a lot to like a character #gwayne seems dissent #gwayne hightower

Jace deserved so much better.

He was actually a smart strategist, gave Rhaenyra solid advice, but the show keeps pushing his childish side — impulsive, reckless, and that's all we get most of the time. We do see a princeling, not the actual heir.

The writers try to show Rhaenyra's motherhood through her kids and her grief, only occasionally remembering that her children are also heirs — political figures. If they'd kept that in mind all the time, the Jace/Rhaenyra conflict before his death could've been way deeper.

And even now that he's gone, Rhaenyra still sees him only as her son: she says he was killed. Yeah, he was. But that's not all. He died in battle, fighting for his throne. He was the heir and made his own decisions. He died a warrior. There's no need to downplay that.

The long-awaited scene of Daemon interacting with his daughter — and it was such a letdown.

He didn't even know she hadn't gone to Pentos, his main concern seems to be that she's not around to accompany HIS sons, and while it looks like he's worried about Rhaena and offers to take her with him, the scene is so poorly written that the later beheading of the shepherd does nothing to salvage it or to make Daemon's motivations believable.

There was potential for an actual conflict between crown duty and fatherhood — but since they never bothered to develop Daemon's relationship with his daughters, there's no real foundation for that conflict. Why did he kill that shepherd? Was it to save Rhaena, or just to secure his place near the throne?

Ugh, are they even gonna bother showing us Daemon's relationship with at least Baela? I guess we should count ourselves lucky that he knows when his daughter is out on a recon flight.

Guess I'm in the camp that thinks Rhaenyra's move with Corlys was stupid.

Yes, he made his own choice, yes, he swore to her, but she should understand the value of alliances. She's been trained to rule her whole life — hasn't she learned how to manage relationships with the nobility? Corlys isn't some insignificant hedge knight — he's her only truly influential and loyal ally, the one who actually proved by his actions that he was ready to fight for her claim. Yes, he always looked out for his own gain, but who doesn't in the game of thrones?

Corlys truly lost everything (yes, he has granddaughters, but he can't seriously count on being able to leave them Driftmark, seeing what's happened to the realm because Rhaenyra is a woman — and besides, Baela already turned him down).

3×03 of HOTD turned out unexpectedly well imo. The choppy narrative, scattered scenes, and the complete lack of properly developed relationships between characters — all of which we've been seeing throughout the season — actually worked in this episode's favor. They really sold the feeling of hysteria, where nothing is under Rhaenyra's control. The civil war is unfolding according to its own logic, the maw of violence has picked up speed, and no amount of queenly anointing is going to give her control over the situation.

The main reason the season's flaws actually worked so well in this episode? The music. It acted like glue, pulling everything together and guiding the viewer through the entire episode.
