I have risked much and more to raise you up. Surely, you do not wish to disappoint me.

DAERON TARGARYEN and ORMUND HIGHTOWER HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 3.04

[queenaegon]

alicent thought she was doing a good thing by sending daeron to oldtown. in a way, she was right. he’s considered a good boy by most everyone who knows him. what we’ve seen on screen shows him to be kind and considerate as well. but it’s clear that he was raised by a cruel and mercurial man who treats him as nothing more than a dynastic tool, in much the same way that otto viewed alicent. he is truly his mother’s son and that is the great tragedy of it all.

broke: ormund dyed daeron’s hair to protect his identity

woke: ormund dyed daeron’s hair to be more like a pure hightower, rather than a “savage” valyrian

bespoke: ormund dyed daeron’s hair to make him look more like his previous grooming victim, gwayne

[wolfienation]

many otto and alicent parallels with ormund and daeron this episode. so incredibly tragic that the son who is most like their mother is the one who she hoped would be raised away from the toxicity of the red keep and instead winds up a pawn on the board for ormund to move about, pawn ormund seeks to make king in the same way otto sought to make alicent queen. the poison always drips through. no matter if you try to stop it. it always, always drips through
