Not to sound like a bitch or anything but why is every HOTD oc the same person. Her name is always Aemma/Visenya Velaryon or some god awful made up Valaryian name. Her dad is never Laenor but instead ser harwin, Daemon, or sometimes Cristion coke. Her lover is always Aemond(Cregan stark is also in love with her too). Aemond ends up defecting to team black and your oc and him win the war. She also rides cannibal or has claimed more than one dragon(you’ll never be Daenerys Targaryen you can’t out do the doer).

(Don’t get me started on how some of y’all will write Rhaenrya as this god awful stereotypical boy mom. When Rhaenyra has always wanted a daughter would spoil the living daylights out of her little girl, no matter who the father was)

[aliceofasshai]

“Rhaenyra is Visenya reborn!” “No Daemon is Visenya reborn!” “Aemond is Visenya reborn!” “My Rhaenyra’s daughter oc is Visenya reborn!” Disrespectfully, you’re all wrong. It’s Baela.

HOTD S2 really said “a permit is required to mourn your children for more than five minutes”

[aliceofasshai]

“Lord Aenar’s daughter Daenys of House Targaryen known forever afterwards as Daenys the dreamer, had foreseen the destruction of Valyria by fire.

When the Doom came twelve years later, the Targaryen were the only dragonlords to survive”

She has so much aura and she rode Balerion too 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

what do you think of the joke/headcanon that dyanna dayne was the princess diana of westeros (in being a highly beloved princess consort who died before her husband was crowned, not the whole being cheated on thing because it seems that maekar never remarried)

I mean……

Idk, seems pretty canon to me!

If I catch one of y’all making art of dornish people and whitewashing them, Im gonna find you

I get so mad when I think about how Alyssa Targaryen was the only true “semi empowered” daughter of Jaehaerys & Alysanne, the only one of their daughters to ride a dragon and this was purely because she was always meant to be their beloved Aemon or Baelon’s wife.

The wife of the heir or the spare.

The narrative further highlights this because for all of Alyssa’s “willful” nature.

One of the few lines she gets is there to serve as a reminder that she is happy to exist as Baelon’s childbearing wife. That what she wants is to give Baelon children.

That is why she is allowed to “matter” to Jaehaerys & Alysanne that is why she’s allowed to be a dragonrider.

Maegelle is simply given to the faith.

Jaehaerys tells Vaegon to be “sweet to Daella” when they are children because she will one day be his wife. However once it is clear Vaegon holds no interest in any of his sisters. Jaehaerys loses his patience with Daella wanting her married immediately within the year.

Daella is only about to turn 16 and that is the age of “womanhood” in Westeros. She’s not an old crone by any means. Daella is also later dead by 18 from complications in childbirth.

The speculation that was married and impregnated too soon.

Saera has none of the fears that Daella did and yet there is nothing written about her claiming a dragon as Alyssa did. No rather she is immediately framed as a monstrous child. A monstrous child who is getting drunk beyond belief at 12 years of age.

What is the reason for Saera to feel the need to become an alcoholic at 12?

The kindest description we have of Saera comes from Septon Barth who makes it clear she is simply ignored by her parents and she lacked care and comfort.

Her relationship with Jaehaerys is perhaps the most disturbing of all. In a family where incest is encouraged. The entitlement Jaehaerys feels towards Saera’s sexuality is even more appalling.

It’s stated she is granted most everything by her father. She finds no sway with her mother who seems almost contemptuous towards her. Yet all the things that are given to her by her father appear to be trinkets and trifles. Nothing of real substance or power. No where are we told Jaehaerys grants Saera the care and comfort she desires.

A scandal erupts that results in Saera telling her parents she is no longer a maiden. Simultaneous to this "horrifying outrage" that leaves Jaehaerys speechless. Is that fact that she is not ashamed. So much so that when she compares herself to men like Aegon and Maegor. Her father descends into a rage. She is locked in her room begging her father for mercy. Not her mother, Not Septon Barth, No one else but her father.

This entire issue around Saera stems purely from the fact that she had sex that Jaehaerys did not consent to. That is her great crime. Worse still we are told that Saera instead of going to her room that night attempts to steal a dragon and isn’t allowed one by the dragon keepers.

This girl who is described as so willful and vivacious. This girl who reportedly wants everything, does not have a dragon. While there is a chance she simply never tried for one. I find it hard to believe that Saera did not want a dragon of her own. Rather I think she was never allowed one. It shows in the fact that she attempts for one when she is the most desperate. This is the birthright of her house and yet she can’t have one?

Why? Because she had sex. Would the situation have been different for Saera if say Vaegon had shown interest in her? Vaegon who Jaehaerys crowed as third in line to throne. Vaegon who escaped the fate of so many of his sisters because he was given another option on account of his gender.

Sickeningly enough, Jaehaerys who never seemed to have any special interest in his daughters. Takes special interest in punishing Saera. She is forced to watch from the window of her cell as Jaehaerys tortures one of the knights she dallied with.

The boy is bleeding from half a dozen wounds before he falls. She is later forced into the faith. "For a few years" to "redeem" her. Poor Saera endures her hair being shaven, and being beaten by a cane for over a year before she is able to escape.

Saera is actually willful. Here is a Targaryen Princess that isn’t happy to make babies for her Targaryen brother. That makes her a problem. Saera doesn't compare herself to the women in her family when she is being interrogated by her parents. Not even the powerful conquerors - Visenya and Rhaenys.

No she compares herself to Aegon & Maegor who had multiple brides. Saera knows where the true power lays even in her family. The most tragic part again is the text made it clear to us that Saera is not the evil little girl she is seen to be by those around her. Rather a little girl in need of comfort. Yet Saera ends her story working as a whore. Scarely at 18. When she makes her great escape she does not seek comfort or help from her family. Not her parents, Not her brothers, Not her friends. No one. Jaehaerys himself not in grief but disgust mocks Saera as a whore, for having to buy her passage to Lys by doing sexual acts to get there.

This powerful Targaryen Princess, Daughter of these beloved Monarchs. Had no options to her.

Viserra like Saera is served worst of all by her parents. However unlike Saera it isn't by Jaehaerys this time rather Alysanne.

Alysanne Targaryen who when informed she was being set to wed a man she didn't want. A man ten years older than her. Went directly to her brother. The man destined to be King and told him what was planned. Alysanne ends up escaping into the night with her beloved brother. Married to him and with a Queenship confirmed for her. A Queenship that allowed her to be as influential as she is remembered. This very same Alysanne is contemptuous towards Viserra who she labels "slyer" than Saera. An ill comparison knowing how Saera was treated. A daughter she views as power hungry for not wanting to be sent off to the North to marry a man so much older that he had outlived four wives. Viserra is only 15 at this time. Viserra who is described as intelligent knows that the only way she will be granted some agency, some power in her house is by marrying her brother. We are told by Alysanne of all people that Viserra does not love Baelon. As if it is a great character flaw.

Yet one night, 15 year old Viserra drinks so much she needs two maids and a knight to bring her back to her bedroom. Why? because she had went naked into her brother's bed in the hopes that him sexually desiring her. Would save her from the unwanted marriage her mother was forcing her into.

A page right out of Alysanne Targaryen's book and yet it comes across so much more twisted. We are told that after this disturbing incident. Alysanne simply makes arrangements to have Viserra sent off to the North.

Viserra dies at 15 from a broken neck. This child who is framed so negatively in the text - Just wanted one last night of laughter. Interestingly enough, Viserra's last night of joy did not include anyone in her family.

When Princess Gael dies too. Alysanne attempts to reach out to Saera and yet all her letters are unanswered. Vaegon dutifully responds to his mother's letter but coldly and with distance. In the end she does have Baelon. The son who was 29 when she protected him from her sly 15 year old daughter Viserra. The daughter she had little empathy for and could not see herself in. Jaehaerys dies soon after as well but not before ensuring his granddaughter is also robbed of her birthright. Not only that, but also setting in the eyes of many. An iron precedent that no woman from his house will ever rule. He dies being read to by Alicent Hightower who he mistakes for his not one but many of daughters. In the end he believes precocious Alicent was his daughter Saera. Returned to him from beyond the narrow sea. Surely it couldn't have been guilt?
