"Lord Corlys sails for dragonstone" - Daemon: " TO DECLARE FOR HIS QUEEN" *heart eyes* Targaryen 1x10
ahhaha Daemon was like a fluffy ball of love, joy and pride as he said that, he is so proud of his Rhaenyra and loves her to death, despite his impulsiveness and short-temper, DAEMON REALLY IS A SIMP FOR RHAENYRA, look at him
everyone standing there with serious faces, and Daemon is willing Corlys sailing to Dragonstone to declare for his wifey Rhaenyra to BE TRUE. Look at how happy and proud he is as he's saying Corlys is sailing to Dragonstone TO DECLARE FOR HIS QUEEN loudly, not doubting Corlys could not declare for her for a second because queen Rhaenyra is obviously everything and ofc everyone who's sane must understand :D :
look at his heart eyes :D
and the pride written all over his face -->
... his queen wifey Rhaenyra, Daemon is a goner for her :D
there's no one who'd be a BIGGER fan of Rhaenyra than Daemon, for real :D he's so devoted it hurts
And Rhaenys is just 1000% done with with Daemon-we've got dragon Maelys too-Corlys is gonna declare for his queen Rhaenyra, also, this is Rhaenyra, my queen, my wifey, her grace"-Targaryen :D
Rhaenys is constantly trying to make it clear that nothing is so sure when it comes to her and Velaryon support, she seems to be reluctant, she often repeats it's not her war. + Rhaenys STILL thinks Daemon and Rhaenyra off-ed Laenor just to be able to marry Old Valyria style and get it on and have babies asap, and all that RIGHT AFTER the death of her children, their former spouses
-> which is also probably making Rhaenys question how much Daemon/Rhaenyra loved/respected Rhaenys's children.... (ofc this is not something Rhaenys can forget. But then again, Rhaena is being raised by Rhaenyra+Daemon, and both Baela and Rhaena are Rhaenys' blood and they love their daddy and at least Rhaena totally seems to be bonded with her step mom Rhaenyra, she is all smiley around her, gives her wine right after Rhaenyra comes to the room, Rhaena seems to genuinely care:") it shows Daemon+Rhaenyra have been loving and caring parents to all their children )
ANYWAY, right after Rhaenys expresses hesitance over the idea of Corlys declaring for Rhaenyra, Daemon's face changes instantly, look at this manchild :D
Daemon DOES NOT like anyone raining on his 'Rhaenyra my wifey queen' parade :D he does not like or accept a reluctant or even hesitant reaction to declaring for his wife queen
DAEMON "Come with me Jace, i'm gonna show you LOYALTY" Targaryen
DAEMON "I'm presenting you with a CHOICE, knights - swear fealty to my wifey Rhaenyra OR swear fealty to my wifey Rhaenyra.
(a CHOICE he says, lol :D )
you want alternative? Well, there's DEATH. Clean death / Death with SUFFERING, kay"
^^ and i think everyone on Dragonstone already knows that Daemon is a simp for his wife :D bet they've seen him like this way too many times already
So yeah.... Daemon is impulsive, he can be cruel and heartless and just plain violent to literally ANYONE, /and the showrunners believe he can even be short-tempered with Rhaenyra (in critical life-threatening situations when under stress and after painful losses of their baby/brother/father, and under pressure, when overcome by fear for the safety of his family's lives.)/ but it's absolutely clear that he LOVES HER TO DEATH and would kill for her and die for her, would go anywhere for her and would do ANYTHING to protect her and their kids.
And THAT (among other things) is why we all adore this malewife Daemon Targaryen.
