something about viserys dragging his literally rotting body despite the immeasurable pain he's probably in just to support rhaenyra and how a father's love, even if imperfect, persevering through immeasurable pain. "my only child" 😭

Imagine you're Rhaena.

You're 8 years old. It's the night after your mother's funeral. You're lying in bed in your grandparents' house, staring out the window at the dragon that belonged to your mother your entire life. You've known Vhagar since birth and - just as the adults told you - you hope you can bond with her and become a dragonrider like your mother, keeping a part of her with you.

You wake up in the night to find that someone has sneaked in and without any Dragonkepper tradition or ritual "stole" the dragon. You don't know who it is.

You go to meet this person and it turns out it's your older cousin. You don't know him; you saw him for the first time at your mother's funeral, which was today. You tell him that Vhagar IS your mother's dragon, still using the present tense. And in response, he mocks you and the fact that your mother is dead.

You say Vhagar was yours to claim, just like your father once had the chance to try bond with his mother's dragon, before Meleys rejected him and became your grandmother's dragon. You didn't try it, because your entire family was grieving, your mother died and you had only just arrived in Driftmark. It's still the night of your mother's funeral.

And this older boy, a stranger to you, openly mocks you and tells you you should ride a pig, because "it will suit you". You don't know him and you don't know about the joke his brother made, you only know that he's openly mocking you and that all hurts you.

And since you're eight years old and a child in mourning, you react like child and push him.

In response, he throws you to the ground with much greater force and aggression.

And…

It's 2026 and people are STILL making Rhaena out to be the villain in this scene 🤡 According to their logic, an 8-year-old girl MUST behave like a rational and emotionally stable adult, not like the child she was, but a 10-year-old boy can behave like a spoiled child, because he has the right to do so 🤡

Oh my goddddddd they are back with the 'actually rhaenyra won in the end' just shut uuuuupppp. Tell me you didn't understand the story without telling me

Ahh I’ve seen two arguments get mashed together from team black Stans. One minute it’s “Fire & Blood is Green propaganda. Gyldayn was biased. History is written by the victors, so they smeared Rhaenyra” The next minute it’s, “Actually Team Black won.” YOU CAN’T SIMULTANEOUSLY ARGUE THAT “THE VICTORS WRITE HISTORY” WHILE ALSO CLAIMING YOUR SIDE WERE THE VICTORS AND THEN INSIST THE HISTORY WAS WRITTEN BY THE OTHER SIDE.

Dragon and their riders.

The reason why Daemon and now Omrund is some what likeable. Even though Daemon is not close to be the consistent character he was. It that they are passionate about what they believe. They just go about in different ways. But they are foils for each other.

Is not that hotd lacks heroes. They lack passion.

The most emotional bonds we get are the dragons and their riders but is more a psycho connection and representation of their riders.

Daemon craves intimacy and so so Caraxys that is why he is the most reactive dragon when he sees another dragon. Vhagar didn't kill Luke because she is bloody thirsty but she senses Aemond deep desire for justice though violence. Sheepstealer attacks Daemon because she senses though Rhaena her rage. Rhaena is always portrayed as isolated from her family and so is sheepstealer. Sunfyre was a golden boy that is very affectionate to Aegon because they only have each other and only believe each other. And more than ever is what we see this now. Dreamfyre and Helaena share dreams and dreamfyre hides Helaena own rage on herself and she spend most of her appearance because Helaena is the actual queen in chains. The queen that is powerless. And in a even more Targaryen in chains is Daeron. That hides Tessarion in a cave in chains. In the dark hiding who he is.

Maelys and Moondancer are better in better because Baela and Rheanys are pragmatism. They dance on the battle field.

The last Jace shot is though his dragon eyes. It is a hopeless death the same expression Jace holds in his final moments.

And that is why the dragons scenes always are highlighting moments of a episode too.
