Dark aemond x innocent reader public sex, aemond has never bothered to Hide his "love" for his sister's handmaiden the whole red keep knows, but when rhaenyra and her bastard cisits the red keep and he sees jace talking to HIS lady and sees how the strong bastard is interested in her, he fucks her where he knew jace would be and the position he fucks her in with her in his arms him holding her up gives him the perfect view to keep eye constacts while smirking smugly at jace as he fucks HIS lady, all the while with her face in his neck reader is clueless

yandere aemond obssed with his bastard targaryen whore he thinks their relationship is special because he psys her and the master to only alow him to have her so when he discovered that she is only a whore to pay her husbands debts and is in love with her husband he is raageful and hunts down her husband killing him infront of her beifee fuckung her, then takes her back to the red keep claiming her as his wife ro his family.

amemond obsessed with rhaenyra and daemons daughter she is the first born instead of jace, (rhaenyra fucked daemon, not cole, and eveyone knows whose daughter she truely is) reader/y/n makes the mistake of her life when she aksed her mother ro send her her to storms end instead of Luke, as when she went to get to her dragon and leave after seeing aemond, he grabs her and before her dragon can try to save her aemond has either had vhagar kill her dragon or has dragged her onto vhagar and her dragon won't attack to scared to risk reader/y/n (her dragon bond is like drogon and daenerys she baby's him)

I will definitely be writing these, but I'll be posting them separately.

Thank you for the requests! I love these!

I’ve fallen into Lucemond hell (which I am awfully conflicted about) however your Keeping Up with the Targaryens is sustaining me through it - thank you so much, you’re a comedic master 😂😂

Lucemond is that ship that you hate to love but its enemies to lovers is so strong that you just can't not ship it XD

awww thank you😍 I'm glad I was able to help with your shipping problems🤣

It’s so funny when people try to hate on Nettles, Rhaena, and Baela when they are really the most innocent characters with fan bases that have the least drama. There is nothing to hate

Honestly though. The entire show has bad writing. When Baela and Rhaena are the victims of badly written scenes it’s anti them. When it’s anyone else it’s rush to interference and let everyone know it’s not the characters/actors but the writers. The fake outrage about most of their scenes will never not be funny to me.

Like clockwork every time Baela and Rhaena get attention from the general public there’s fandom people that get bothered and start posting think pieces pretending to critic the writing. The only genuine criticism that show gets regarding their characters are from people that actually like them. The rest of it is just hating disguised as criticism. There’s people in the fandom who ignore them and pretend like they don’t exist and in their echo chambers they forget that Baela & Rhaena have actual Stans. They leave their echo chamber and get mad the characters aren’t being perceived how they perceive them in their spaces; which is disregarded and only brought up for concern trolling and fandom discourse. There’s the black stans that don’t see them as anything other than props. Baela goes viral and you see a bunch of people suddenly trying to latch Rhaenyra onto her and Laena 😂 when they don’t even have a relationship and Rhaenys was literally the one who raised her. Or if they want Nettles cut they pretend to gaf about Daemon’s relationship with Rhaena when they’ve ignored it for the past 2 years and laughing about how Daemon doesn’t care about anyone other than Rhaenyra which includes his kids 😂 but now they want to see father of the year Lmfaoo

Then there’s the green stans obsessed with discourse and wanting the GA to see characters the way they see them and don’t want Baela & Rhaena to be fan faves. The incessant trying to convince everyone to find them boring and “they don’t do anything in the book.” There was entire discourse about how green characters should have their stories changed and embellished and it’s only fair because Rhaena “gets to claim a dragon” as if Rhaena having her story erased and ruined is a good thing. It just makes it obvious it’s not really about the story to people. The only thing they think of is 90% of people that watch that show aren’t even following the story but only want to see dragons and violence and they think Rhaena having a dragon will make her popular. That’s literally all they care about 😂😂so unserious Mind you these are the same people that will pretend to stan Netty so they can be “outraged” at Rhaena stealing Sheepstealer. And they reduce her character to sleeping with Daemon and don’t understand why she should be in the show and her importance in the dance is not breaking up some raggedy ship.

Hi!

In your opinion, why do you think Alicent's character is so hated? Your reasons to dislike her? (I want to know if they are the same as mine's Imao)

Nice blog btw 🥰

Thank you @97black-storm 💖

I don't dislike book! Alicent, I only dislike her show version.

In the books, she's a strong-willed, ambitious woman who impacts the story with her actions instead of being affected by other people's choices. She's a proactive character instead of a passive one and that's something I respect. She can also be mean and cruel and she's quite a hypocrite but an interesting character doesn't always have to be a good person ( and she's interesting and rotten at the same time). She's kinda like Cersei for me. I don't root for her but I do find her compelling.

However, show! Alicent is a different case entirely. Sometimes, I see glimpses of her book counterpart and then I think that maybe the writers are portraying her as a self righteous woman. One that believes that she can do no wrong and who deludes herself that she's the ultimate victim while not recognising she's the one who causes harm. I can also find that version of her interesting, despite the fact that it's not the same as book! Alicent.

Unfortunately, other times I do believe that the writers really meant to show Alicent on a sympathetic light and that version of herself doesn't sit right with me. Because no matter what the writers or the actors tell us on interviews, Alicent's actions don't align with her supposed "poor victim" status.

Most of my irritation with her character comes from her annoying fandom who preach that she can do no wrong and treat her like she's a helpless teenager when she's a grown up woman with agency over her actions.

i hate what they did to laena on the show. not only has her importance to daemon been reduced to "second best" but also her death was unnecessarily brutal and i hated it from the first time i saw it. after all, at least in the book, laena tried to do what she loved one last time: fly and daemon really seemed to care about her and grieve for her death.

I have a feeling they wanted to make laena su*cide look like "death of a dragonrider" and her agenda, for rhaenyra to look badass when sunfyre burn and eat her. the small part she had seems to exist only to enhance rhaenyra. Hotd isn't even in season 2 yet and it already makes me angry, Got at least took 6 seasons for me to realize the mistakes..

👆🏽The last paragraph is why they really did it. No one in their right mind thinks committing suicide by dragon fire(how many suicides do you see where someone is lighting themselves on fire) is empowering. It’s something a desperate woman who’s out of her mind would do. Even the actress who played older Laena (Nanna Blondell) originally questioned why Sara Hess put that in there(there’s an hour-long podcast on YouTube where she talks about her role as Laena).

They reworked Laena’s story just to make Queenie’s death look better in the end. And the thing about it is it’s still a wasted effort because Rhaenyra doesn’t voluntarily kill herself.

She literally is on the run with no money(she has to sell her jewels/crown), no powerful friends who will come to her aid(cause she locked Corlys up and went after Nettles so Daemon left her a**), and no dragon(cause the small folk she didn’t think were a threat where actually a threat).

She’s going back to Dragonstone thinking it’s a safe place and she can regroup there, but her home has been overtaken by the enemy. She’s lost everything and then she loses her life at the hands of her crippled brother and his crippled dragon🤣

I’m only laughing cause her stans really think she’s a bad b*tch when she’s not. She’s a broke b*tch(in spirit and in “reality”).

This isn’t dying like a “dragon rider”(the concept doesn’t exist in book canon since her dumba** fans love pointing to the books which never support their delusional arguments by the way) this is dying like the flop she:

(I do feel sorry that little Aegon had to witness that, but even her last boy did nothing to immortalize his mother’s memory. Queenie flopped hard🤷🏽‍♀️)

At this point, I’ve been counting the first season as a trial run. I’ve seen some shows that had a meh first season(only the second half of HOTD was really terrible to me) but turned around to have decent other seasons. However, the fact that they cut the number of episodes plus the striking situation and the fact that they didn’t fully clean house with the showrunner shake up 😬

Laena was unfortunately a victim of sh*tty biased writing, but there’s always hope that her girls get the storylines they deserve.

But alicent does not love rhaenyra more than her children, older alicent didn't even love older rhaenyra

Hi, thanks for the ask <3

As I mentioned before, I don’t think that Rhaenicent is meant to be a love ship per se and I do stand against the idea that Alicent loves anyone or anything more than her children. And yes, when Rhaenyra and Alicent were younger, they had more opportunities to bond and to express their love and affection with one another, and to be close. As soon as Rhaenyra is named Viserys’ heir, and Alicent becomes the Queen, their relationship becomes stagnant and more complicated but as is evident from the interactions between them (namely, Alicent keeping the torn page, the subtle gazes, still holding hands and yearning for each other’s touch, Alicent not wanting the green council to harm Rhaenyra etc) they still have feelings for one another. What is interesting is that, they themselves are not quite sure what those feelings are, or have become, with the passing of years.

But there is no way that Alicent loves Rhaenyra more than those kids for whom she has already suffered 23 years of abuse by Viserys and for the sake and safety of whom she does all she does.

All in all, Rhaenicent is a "look what we could have been" ship full of angst and regret and outrage and that’s okay! It’s the story of two women making wrong decisions out of hate and hurt and fear and becoming the worst versions of themselves as a result. And the reason?

Because both of them love other people and other things more than they grow to value their relationship, and that’s the point. There are a lot of things in between them now: the Iron Throne, their past mistakes, but most importantly, the love each of them has for her own children. Nothing could ever come between this love, nothing could break it. And that is why Rhaenicent is so tragic. There is no hope for a happy ending, there is no hope for peace and consolation. The only option is to get tangled up into this all consuming and meaningless war that will be the end of them both.

Hope that answers your question!

[lostchildofthenewworld]

What do you consider to be Daemon Targaryen's true motivation/desire? I remember in the comments of your deleted fic you mentioned it wasn't simply power or the Iron Throne.

I think acknowledgment.

D*emon T*rgaryen on the surface is everything that House T*rgaryen could hope for: a prolific warrior/swordsmen, prince, dragonrider. It was him who raised an army for his brother, and I wonder what that says about Viserys, could he not raise one himself? That even with people’s dislike of him, he was still able to find allies that backed his brother because of he, himself. It must rankle him, as the years go on and he sees how weak Viserys is and even when he’s made his brother’s heir, it’s not solidified or even wanted by the people. Viserys went so far as continuing to get Aemma pregnant, even with her miscarriage and ultimately going so far as to having her cut open in his want of a son.

I don’t think he loved Rhaenyra, not truly. She was a means to an end, and I doubt any of her bastards would’ve grown old enough to inherit the throne, without him finding a way to get rid of them for his own Valyrian children to be the rightful heirs. After all, we know how much he wanted a Valyrian bride. I doubt truthfully and honestly, he would stomach those bastards for long, not when he has finally gotten two male children who look like Valyrians.

I think that had to hurt too. lol His niece being heir and then her having bastards who are so obviously not her husband’s. Once again, he’s looked over. His actions against his brother, against the nobility, scream for attention, for acknowledgment. For someone to say, “perhaps he’s more than what we thought” but in a positive way. In the beginning of the end, he won right. His sons lived and became kings, but it was also his last two male descendants that saw to the toppling of his own house. Even more funny, it’s Robert, a man who claimed the Iron Throne through his T*rgaryen grandmother who became king, who hated all things T*rgaryen. But even he was murdered as well.

Alicent >> Rhaenyra

Alicole >> Daemyra

I disagree. I love Rhaenyra because I find her character very interesting and I also want her to be queen as she was meant to be. She’s also just way more likable to me than Alicent. I find her to be a fun character. I do feel sympathy for Alicent on some level, she is a victim of the patriarchy like Rhaenyra but unlike her wasn’t able to find any freedom. But she then in her bitterness also became a perpetrator of the patriarchy, and I can’t defend many of her actions when she is an adult.

Rhaenyra isn’t perfect either, she can be reckless and selfish, but those negative traits bother me less than Alicent thinking she’s actually a better person than Rhaenyra. I wouldn’t call myself a Daemyra shipper but I’m not against the ship either. In the beginning I didn’t like it for obvious reasons but honestly it’s a Targaryen show so I don’t care anymore lol. As to Alicole, I don’t care for the ship because I don’t like either of the characters in that ship, especially Criston Cole.
