hmm tell me something that mushroom would say/write about your main hotd ocs
i completely forgot about this ask so i apologize for the long ass wait, but here ya go !!
— described the same way as he’s depicted before the loss of his first wife. the perfect example of house targaryen. a prince with a ferocious dragon, but who is also an even-tempered man. he is loved by all for his integrity, his selflessness, and his sense of justice. however, they came up with plenty of falsities for rhaegor disappearance as no one had seen or heard from him in eight years. mushroom believes he flew beyond the wall and spent his time with the wildlings. others claimed he resided on the outskirts of dorne to be near the southern sea. though, no one will ever know the truth of his whereabouts except korinna. upon his return to king’s landing, mushroom writes of rhaegor accordingly on his drunken foolishness and rude behavior. yet, when rhaegor the news unexpectedly came out of the ruined prince falling madly in love with princess rhaenyra’s favored servant with a bastard’s name, that’s when the inaccuracies start to occur. mushroom writes on how the high lords claimed rhaegor as been bewitched by a common-born whore and is no longer fit as the royal hand of the king. there would be no mention that korinna was the only person to make rhaegor feel whole again, to gently guide him away from his trauma so he could love again, marry again, and bore children. once the targaryen prince married his lover, all sense of honor and nobility were erased from history.
— if you think rhaegor was bad, my poor baby has it way worse. again, described similarly in the beginning, though not much thought or information was put into hers. mushroom wrote of her unknown lineage, the many years she spent as the former queen consort’s servant and specifically passed down onto princess rhaenyra per one of aemma’s final requests. not much is known of her since she’s really seen as just a bystander for many years. until the green wedding where her illicit affair with prince rhaegor is accidentally revealed by the noble lords and ladies of westeros. and that’s when it all goes downhill. she is depicted as a whore, a power hungry seductress who used the targaryens ( aemma, rhaenyra, and rhaegor ) to raise her status. she is relentlessly viewed as someone she is not, and history will not ever mention who she truly was, sadly. they wouldn’t write about her unwavering loyalty to rhaenyra, her fierceness and gentle heart, or what a wonderful mother she was. she was a woman who came from nothing and gained everything one could ever desire in westeros. and yet, she will never be remembered as such.
