I am sorry to put this upon you. It breaks my heart to send my boys away, not knowing when I will see them again. But you have seen what may befall them here. Rhaena… I need you to be the mother to them that I cannot. Teach them, train them, guard them as a dragon guards her eggs. And my sister? I need Baela here.

BAELA and MOONDANCER HOUSE OF THE DRAGON ⋆ 3.01

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON — 3.01 "Salt and Sea, Fire and Blood"

I have so many thoughts about Rhaena claiming Sheepstealer but I think this episode really helped me understand why I dislike it so much.

Aside from the fact that it made no sense for her to be there at all, Rhaena and Sheepstealer’s role in this episode was just so diametrically opposed to Rhaena and Morning’s role in the books. In the books, Rhaena hatching Morning was hugely symbolic. Morning was (I believe) the last healthy dragon House Targaryen managed to hatch. Or at least the last one to be ridden. Rhaena was the last confirmed dragonrider until Daenerys. Hatching Morning, which happened closer to the end of the war, was huge both for Rhaena personally and for the Blacks. Alicent was actually afraid that it would make them seem more legitimate in the eyes of the smallfolk. They two of them represented hope for House Targaryen to heal after the Dance. Rhaena and Sheepstealer are essentially the opposite of that. They represent death and destruction; the inherent unpredictability of dragon. Kind of the “dark side” of dragon. I really don’t even know what to say anymore. They’re just strayed so far from any semblance of a coherent storyline that follows the books.

Literally why was Rhaena even in the Gullet. First of all, no fucking way she’s flying all the was from the middle of the Vale to Dragonstone that quickly. Also what narrative purpose did it serve? Aside from torching some of their own soldiers there was absolutely no point. And it’s not like she needed to be there for Jace to die. We already say Vermax get hit once, when Baela and Moondancer had to save it. It is completely believable that a dragon as young as Vermax with a rider as inexperienced in battle as Jace would take another hit which could end up proving fatal. They really did not need the added layer of Rhaena and a semi-wild dragon to make that battle intense.

No way someone genuinely thought that getting rid of the angst that comes with Rhaenyra sending Jace to actually do something for the first time since Luke’s death only to get him killed, was a good idea. Especially baffled that someone could look at all that and think “ok but what if he locked her in her fucking room instead” and decide that it’s better.
