I love the book version of their relationship, where Aemond is naturally his king's knight. 🗡️

Initiation Well Location: Sintra, Portugal

A pair of wells, called the Initiation Wells, spiral down deep within the earth, like inverted towers. The wells were never used to collect water. Instead, they were part of a mysterious initiation ritual within the Knights of Templar tradition.

The attempt to keep using The Prophecy™️ as a way to justify not only the colonization of an entire continent but to also explain WHY Rhaenyra should sit on the throne…is certainly a choice.

Like generally speaking, using Manifest Destiny and the Divine Right of Kings to excuse away a culture who enslaved people and believed they were gods among men because they rode the fantasy equivalent of nukes and eventually were punished for it is not the direction I would have gone, personally.

Especially when said civil war leads to the destruction of magic and winters growing longer but hey surely the magical white people who believe in blood purity must be correct this time right?

Alicent baby girl I can't keep defending you 😭😭

[sundreamfyres]

No Aegon isn't stupid for not speaking Valyrian , Sunfyre is just too intelligent and learned another language outside of his mother tongue ✨💅🏽

What new dragons are you most excited to see in both House of the Dragon and Rise of the Dragon?

I'm can't say I'm particularly eager for any one dragon, although I do describe Sunfyre as the most beautiful dragon that anyone has ever seen. He looks like he's not a real dragon, but a dragon made of gold. His scales and armor are bright gold, like a flash in the sun. So let's try to capture that when we see him on-screen.

AEGON II TARGARYEN & SUNFYRE in HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Season 2, Episode 4, "The Red Dragon and the Gold"

I’m so normal about this

[sundreamfyres]

Not only GRRM himself directly calls prophecies weasel wordings, but the main plot of ASOIAF/GoT features multiple characters obsessing over prophecies that lead them to their doom. Additionally, there are several Targaryen characters who meet their end in a similar way. So, even with the HOTD writers making it a big deal, "Song of Ice and Fire" prophecy isn't really that important, and Alicent didn't mess anything up by misinterpreting it.

[maybeiwasjustjade]

Trying to churn out fics for HOTD when the writing continues to hit rock bottom, is slowly driving me insane. S2’s writing has been absolute garbage to the point I’m feeling extremely uncharitable towards Alicent, which is probably a good indication to stop writing for the day.

For one, why is TG written to act like the war is Aegon’s fault, when aside from Helaena, he’s so far been the least at fault??

Alicent and Otto were the ones that crowned Aegon against his will. Aegon was the one who had to be dragged to the pit kicking and screaming (literally) to claim a throne he never even wanted. Sure, there’s the argument that it’s his birthright en yada yada, but clearly the show forgot that little bit.

Aemond killed Lucerys. Criston was the one who sent Arryk after Rhaenyra, not Aegon. Otto was the one who ordered nobles killed for not supporting them.

So what exactly has Aegon actually done? And if the leaks are to be believed (and they’ve been accurate so far), what has he done to deserve his own brother maiming and trying to kill him? Because he was mean and cruel and petty in today’s episode???

So fucking what?????

Aegon isn’t nice. They’ve never gotten along, except for few moments where they stuck together for survival. This isn’t petty childhood squabbles, sibling bullying, or rivalries borne from being mom’s favorite vs the most unloved eldest son in westeros. Aegon’s son is dead, and Aemond is partially at fault.

It doesn’t matter that Aemond regrets killing Lucerys. It absolves no one. Luke’s still dead, so Jaehaerys is too.

Aegon is gonna be mean and hateful and angry and vengeful. Aemond did something incredibly stupid and now his infant nephew is dead. Today’s brothel scene will never justify what Aemond does next episode.

[gojuo]

the fact that they put in this WORTHLESS brothel bullying scene + aemond getting SA'd at such a young age because of aegon plot (so that writers can justify his love for alys later down the line as if he can't just fall in love with her, no it HAS to be rooted in his traumatic experience w older women 😮‍💨) to set up the brotherly rivalry and the non-canon betrayal at RR .... instead of you know ... maybe aegon blaming aemond for the murder of his son and the torture of his wife and their sister ??? like how about THAT being the reason for the tension and animosity in their relationship with one another ??? how about THAT causing aemond such soul-crushing guilt ??? especially after he dragged an unwilling aegon to his coronation which then through his reckless actions leads to his big brother becoming irreversibly damaged and disabled by fighting a battle he never wanted to fight in the first place ??? how about THAT guilt leading aemond down a path of murder and mania and the inability to face his family anymore causing him to stupidly abandon them in KL then catalyzing to what's basically his suicide above the god's eye ????

but no of course b&c won't be the reason for the tension and you wanna know why? because these writers don't want you to care about blood and cheese. helaena sure as fuck doesn't! "children die all the time so it's ok mine died right? :^)))))" instead of her character developing into the suicidal broken woman she becomes who kills herself over this trauma that daemon and rhaenyra caused her, she's like whatever :^). and then the director and writers have the AUDACITY to say daemon realizes this episode that he made a mistake in ordering b&c and that he regrets it. IN BOOK CANON DAEMON HAD ALREADY BEEN PLANNING THE ASSASSINATION AND TORTURE OF HELAENA AND HER KIDS FOR WEEKS!!!!! WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

but no, b&c and the consequences thereof cannot be felt or reckoned with by any of the greens' characters. because how else can ryan condal then wash daemon and rhaenyra's hands clean of this pivotal act of senseless violence in the war? bunch of worthless writers.

I just know Helaena has kept at least one cockroach in one of those cages and named it Aegon
