Discussing The Matter

Media - Game Of Thrones Character - Viserys Targaryen Couple - Viserys X Reader Reader - (OC) Visenya Targaryen (Twin sister of Viserys) Rating - Smut (Incest) Word Count - 3008

Visenya made her way through Illrio’s large impressive palace in her loose blue gown in the typical pentos style. She matched into viserys chambers seeing his books and weapons lining the place, his large circle marble bath in the centre where he currently sat being attended by maids,

"Go." She demanded and the maids and staff cleared out leaving them alone,

Viserys looked at her, admiring her, she looked like an actual goddess to him. "What a commanding tone, you come into my chambers uninvited and demand my servants to leave?"

"Just because you have a cock! Does not entitle you to make all the decisions regarding our family viserys!" she said as she came over and stood at the steps of his tub meaning he couldn't get out until she was done talking to him

“Did you come all the way here to discuss my cock? or is there a different reason, my sweet sister?"

"viserys. I'm serious." She complained, "You can't really allow illrio to make this match for Dany. The Dothraki are cruel, their Karls take multiple wives, slaves, butchers and bastards to their women!"

Viserys rolled his eyes and leaned back against the bath, his gaze drifting towards the ceiling, "Oh, come on, do you really expect me to care about Dany? She's already a woman flowered, it's time she started fulfilling her duties as a woman."

"... And what of me? I am a woman flowered why did you not sell me?"

Viserys' gaze snapped back to her, his eyes searching her face in disbelief, a hint of anger in his voice as he answered. "You are my twin, my other half, my equal. I would never trade you away to some stinking barbarian."

"Dany is our baby sister. Is she not of your care too?" She said as she slowly stepped up the steps and into his bath with him, crawling over to sit in his lap her dress immediately soaking,

Viserys' breath hitches as his sister straddles him, his hands resting on her hips instinctively and pulling her closer to him in the bathtub. He looks up at her, his eyes burning with a mix of anger and desire, as he speaks, his voice coming out as a hoarse whisper. "You know I would never do anything to hurt you, but that doesn't apply to Daenerys. She might be our sister, but she's still just a woman. Her role is to obey us and bear heirs."

"I am a woman," she whispered against his lips,

His eyes darkened with lust, and a low growl rumbled in his throat as she spoke. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her impossibly closer, his hands sliding up underneath her wet gown to caress the bare skin of her back. "You are the exception."

"am I? I am older. I am ... Arguably more desirable. Dany is a child. And you sell her away, surely illrio has asked you as... The one with the cock. To make arrangements to send me away" she explained playing with running her fingers on his face and hair, as she shifts her hips on him

A sharp intake of breath escaped him as her hips moved against his, his grip on her waist tightening as he tries to keep himself from losing control. His eyes darkened even further, the desire burning inside him making it hard to think straight, the thought of losing her to a stranger, painful to imagine. "He suggested it, yes, but I refused. You're mine, always mine, I'd rather die than let another man have you."

"even if you got your army for me," she cooed moving her hips more knowing she can force his answers out of him

A low, primal moan slipped from his lips as her movements continued to drive him mad with desire, his own hips bucking against her involuntarily, his hands sliding down to her thighs, holding her in place. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, his words coming out as a hoarse whisper. "I would burn every kingdom from Qarth to Asshai to the ground before letting another man touch you, to hell with my army."

"but she is sellable? Your own sister?"

His expression hardened, his lust momentarily forgotten as reminders of the current argument returned to his mind. He pulled back, looking at her with a mixture of anger and resignation. "She is. She is younger, more innocent, still pure. She can give me alliances and armies. What can I possibly gain from you?"

she glared and went to move off him

he caught her hips and slammed her down on his lap, the water of the tub sloshing around them. His grip was firm, not letting her move away from him. "Don't you dare. You came into my bathtub and straddled me, you're not going anywhere without me finishing what you started."

"you know what you would gain from me. An army, your crown. More allies in this world. You have two sisters both of which you can sell off and still be open to marry across the sea when you are king."

His hands on her hips held her firmly against him, forcing her to feel the hard length of him, his chest heaving as his breathing quickened. He moved his face closer to hers, their lips just barely touching as he spoke. "Why do you think I want an army or a crown when I have you, hmm? You're worth more to me than all the gold and armies in this world. I don't care about marriages or alliances, I just want you, only you, always and forever."

she turned her face away so he couldn't kiss her "This is cruel to her viserys."

His fingers dug into her waist, his voice coming out as a hoarse growl, frustration and desire mixing in his tone. "Why do you care so much about what happens to Dany? You're mine. You belong to me and I belong to you. She has to do her duty, even if it means offering her body and fertility to a barbarian. Why can't you just accept that?"

"... We ... Are not a possibility"

His grip on her tightened, his eyes narrowing as he watched her, a mixture of anger and hurt in his expression. "And why not? We're both Targaryen, I want you, you want me, we should be perfect together. So why can't we be a possibility?"

"we are siblings." She reminds

Viserys' jaw clenched, his breathing growing ragged. He knew she was right, but that didn't make it hurt any less. "I don't care. I don't care if it's a sin, if the Seven disapprove, if the Gods themselves send lightning to strike us down. All I know is that you drive me mad, that I want you, burn for you, need you more than anything in this world. And you cannot deny that you feel the same."

"targaryen wed brother to sister for thousands of years... But that time is over. No land would allow us to be as we wish."

His hands on her hips trembled as he struggled to hold himself back, his heart aching with frustration and unfulfilled desire. "Who cares what other lands allow, why should we care what the rest of the world thinks? We are Targaryens, dragonsblood coursing through our veins, we are above those pathetic mortals and their pitiful little rules. Why can't we just forget about the world and be together, you and me?"

she sighed and shifted her hips again "We aren't done discussing the matter"

He groaned as her hips moved against him again, his body responding to her unconsciously. He tried to focus on the conversation, but all he could think about was the fact she was on top of him, her body pressed against his, her breath on his face. He took a deep breath and tried to collect himself, his voice coming out as a hoarse whisper. "What further is there to discuss, my sweet sister?"

"when she is married, what will happen to us? She will be forced away with the dothraki as a breeding slave... And us? Are we to remain guests of illiro forever, worried always he is to sell us too?" She got faster

Viserys closed his eyes, fighting the wave of pleasure that washed over him as she picked up her pace, his hands on her hips now almost digging into her skin. His mind was struggling to focus, and he had to take another deep breath before responding, his voice coming out strained and hoarse. "No... I won't let that happen. I'm building an army, we will get our home back. I will be king, and you will be..." he trailed off, his breath catching in his throat as he let the fantasy play out in his mind. He stopped talking, his imagination conjuring up a vision of himself on the Iron Throne, with her sitting on a throne next to him. Him claiming her as his in front of the Seven Kingdoms and no one being able to protest their union. It was a tantalizing, seductive idea, one that made his heart hammer furiously in his chest, and the words spilled from his lips in a reverent whisper. "You will be my Queen."

"as tempting as that is. Where are we to live in the mean time? Here withilliro? With Dany and her horse lord slavers? Or go homeless while you build this army" she whispered against his lips as she moved her hands pulling her dress a little,

Her words broke into his fantasy, but the sight of her nearly naked body straddling him left him too distracted to think about the specifics of their situation. His hands roamed her body, roaming up her thighs, his fingers gripping her hips, his eyes drifting from her face to her chest. "We will stay here, for now. I need time to plan, to gather allies. We'll have to be patient, I'm afraid, my sweet sister."

"and If illrio betrays us?" She moved back down slowly gasping and softly moaning as she moved down his shaft,

Viserys gritted his teeth, his grasp on her tightening as he tried to focus on anything but the pleasure building within him. However, the sight of her sliding down his body, her breaths and noises adding fuel to the fire burning within him, made it near impossible to think straight. His voice came out as a hoarse whisper. "He won't. We need him, and he needs us. He knows that."

she grunted as she finally reached his hilt, "...does he?"

Viserys' breath hitched at the feel of her pressing against him, his eyes darkening with desire as his fingers dug into her hips, his head tipping back as he struggled to keep the last bit of his control. He spoke through gritted teeth, the words coming out as a primal growl. "He does. He better, otherwise he's a dead man."

"... The seven kingdoms will not be thrilled, of a set of twins as long and queen" she spoke as she nibbled his neck and began to ride

Viserys' head lolled back as she moved against him, his eyes closing as his body reacted to her touches and the feel of her mouth on his neck. He fought to keep his voice steady, his words coming out as a ragged whisper, his hands on her hips moving her faster against him, his own hips involuntarily bucking up to meet hers, his body on fire from the feel of her. "The Seven Kingdoms can go to hell, they have no say in what we do." His words dissolved into a deep growl, all sense and reason abandoned in the onslaught of pleasure and need. All he could think about was her, her body, her skin, her gasps and the way she rode him, driving him mad with desire. He moved his hands to her thighs, gripping them tightly, wanting to hold her in place and never let go. "I need you. Now."

she nodded and got faster riding at a decent pace the water moving around them

Viserys groaned deeply, the sound coming from deep within his chest. His hands on her thighs slid up to her hips, helping her move faster against him, his own body meeting hers with a need that bordered on primal. He tried to speak, but all coherent thought had left him, leaving only desire and need. "Gods, yes, keep going, don't stop." His lips found hers in a desperate, hungry kiss, his tongue slipping into her mouth, exploring and tasting her as his hands on her hips pulled her closer, desperate to feel more of her, his body pressed against hers. His breaths came in ragged gasps as he panted, the pleasure building and building, pushing him closer and closer to the edge. "You're driving me insane, sweet sister."

her hand trailed Into his hair during the kiss, her hips moving on their own mindlessly searching for pleasure

He groaned as her hand threaded through his hair, the feeling sending jolts of pleasure down his spine, adding to the unbearable ecstasy building inside him. His tongue tangled with hers, his hands on her hips guiding her movements, his own body reacting to her, his hips meeting hers in a frantic, desperate rhythm. "So close... don't stop, don't stop, please..."

she screamed biting his shoulder as she reached her orgasm her body trembling and freezing up clenching around him,

He cursed under his breath as her body shuddered and clenched around him, the sensation of her climaxing driving him over the edge as well, his own release crashing through him in a wave of ecstasy. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, a guttural, primal moan escaping him as he held her tight, his body trembling with the force of his orgasm. "Sweet sister... gods, you drive me mad with desire."

she gasped her head laying against his bare chest "We... We can't keep doing this..."

His hold on her hips loosened, his hands moving up to her waist, his fingers tracing lazy circles on her skin. His body was still thrumming with the aftershocks of pleasure, but her words sunk in, and he forced himself to be serious. "Why not? We both want it, we both need it."

"and what happens when my belly grows heavy?" She asked against his lips

His lips brushed against hers, his tongue darting out to taste her skin, his thoughts and feelings swirling within him. The mention of her belly rounding and growing was an image that caused his heart to clench in his chest, a mix of desire and tenderness stirring within him. "Then we will deal with it, together. And when your belly is heavy, I will worship you, my sweet sister, and I will kiss every inch of your body."

she chuckled "Would you sell our baby away for more army, as you do for Dany?"

He froze at her words, a stab of guilt and shame going through him at the thought, at the comparison. He held her tight, his fingers digging into her skin as he tried to form a response. "No, never. Our child would never be sold or bartered, I swear it. I would sooner sell my own soul than let anything or anyone harm a hair on our child's head."

"but our sister?"

He sighed, his heart heavy with guilt and regret at the mention of Daenerys. The reality of their situation weighed heavily on him, and he knew he couldn't deny the truth. "I had no choice," he murmured, his voice laced with pain and regret. "I need alliances and armies to take back my throne. I cannot do it on my own. If it means selling her off, then so be it."

"then why not me?"

His eyes darkened, and his jaw clenched at her words. The thought of selling her off, of giving her away to another man, sent a surge of anger and possessiveness through him. "Because you're different," he growled, his grip on her hips tightening. "You're mine, my sweet sister, and nobody else's. The mere thought of another man touching you, looking at you, claiming you... it drives me mad with rage." He pulled back slightly, meeting her gaze with an intensity that spoke of the depth of his feelings for her. He spoke in a low, hoarse voice, his eyes burning with a mixture of desire and determination. "You're mine, sweet sister, and I'll burn the entire world to the ground before I let anyone take you from me. You're mine to worship, to cherish, to protect. You will never be sold or bartered like a piece of property. You will be my queen, by my side, and none will dare question our union."

She nodded and laid on his chest with a slight sigh

He held her close, his arms wrapped around her tight, his fingers tracing gentle circles on her bare back. He took a deep, steadying breath, the feel of her on his chest bringing him a strange sense of comfort and peace. He spoke quietly, his voice soft and vulnerable. "I mean it, sweet sister. You're the most important thing in this world to me. I'd give up my throne, my crown, everything, just to keep you by my side. I love you."

"I love you too, I just worry for her is all. I worry for all of us." She says

He nodded, his expression somber as he thought of their sister. The weight of responsibility and worry weighed heavily on his shoulders. "I know, sweet sister, and I share your worries. I wish there was an easier path for us, a way to take back the Iron Throne without selling Dany off like cattle. But I see no other way. I need an army, and alliances, and I need them now."

she nodded pulling him into a kiss

He responded to her kiss, his lips moving against hers hungrily. His hands roamed her body, his touch desperate and possessive, as if he couldn't get close enough to her. He broke the kiss, his breathing ragged and his voice ragged. "I need you, sweet sister. I need you now."

Reading Jon chapters kinda makes me want to claw my eyes out but my god, he’s just swimming in symbolic imagery.

Those who are judging folks for being upset about the finale, please back off. Let people be upset, okay? Especially when their favorite characters are being continuously being sexually humiliated by the narrative. There's no entitlement in wanting your favorites to be treated with some decency.

[thestarlightforge]

this feels like when Brienne & Jaime finally kissed after 6 seasons of waiting. it makes perfect sense of course, but there’s no way it’s real, right? because they’re disabled & we don’t get happy endings? we were called delusional for years, and then our wildest ao3 conclusions were live broadcast to 11.8 million viewers 1 breath after vanquishing the main villain? my mouth? agape. my mind? boggled. except this feels 80x more so because it’s queer people. i feel delirious. elated. like i could punch a god & win, perhaps

[gone-with-the-drama]

What I would have wanted to see between the 10 year gap:

Rhaenyra and Harwin’s romance (baby making)

Harwin’a subtle father/sons moments with his boys

How Laena claimed Vhagar

The fuck happened in the Strong family that Larys did not hesitate to unalive them

The romance between and maybe the wedding of Daemon and Laena

How Laenor and Rhaenyra would act all lovey dovey to just leave for the night for their lovers respectfully

Maybe some stuff about Viserys getting more ill and losing a hand and Larys spilling tea to Alicent

[hotdaemondtargaryen]

it was so weird hearing daemon targaryen say 'winter is coming.'

why do they keep torturing us? we already know the ending.

i want to forget the last seasons of GOT.

[shebeafancyflapjack]

Whenever I think the Ghosts finale was bad, I remind myself that Game of Thrones ended with Tyrion saying Bran had the best story which meant he should be king and Sherlock ended with the revelation he turned his best friend into a dog.

Like I didn't enjoy it and I wouldn't call it good, but at least it wasn't insulting. It was...harmlessly disappointing.

[evilsapphyre]

I’ve seen a lot of discourse since the HotD finale about who was meant to be The Prince who Was Promised. Was it Jon or Dany?

And I’m over here thinking that due to The World of Ice and Fire, the Azor Ahai prophecy and the Prince who Was Promised are separate prophecies that often get confused as the same prophecy, and that Jon and Dany could meet the requirements for both at times - meaning one could be Azor Ahai and one could be the Prince.

We also have the whole line about the dragon needs three heads. Maybe three Targs are needed to fulfill the prophecy (which works in the books even if Young Griff isn’t Aegon as he claims since he’s likely still to have dragon blood.)

The Dothraki celebrated, with drums, dancing and drinking. All were much loved by the Dothraki horse lords, A Fire burning in the centre with a pig roasting. Viserys wondered drunk into the tent, he was angry and frustrated at all that had happened since arriving at Vaes Dothrak.

“Daynares!” Stumbling through the door, he called out, “Where’s my sister!”

The music died down the moment he entered,

Jorah made his way over to the drunken Targaryen, trying to settle him

“Get your hands off me!” Viserys warned pushing him away, “No one touched the dragon!”

Karl Drogo listened to the translation of the going’s on and began to laugh, Which caught Visery’s attention.

“Karl Drogo!” he called out, “I’m here for the feast!”

Drogo answered but of course, Viserys had no care to bother to understand, and looked to Jorah for translation,

“Karl Drogo says there is a place for you… Back there.”

Viserys shook his head like a petulant child, “That is no place for a king!”

“You. Are. No. King.” Drogo spat back

Viserys drew his sword pointing it at anyone near him,

“Viserys Please,” Danerys spoke up,

“There she is…” He chuckled turning his attention and sword to her,

“Put the sword down. They’ll kill us all.” Jorah reminded,

“They can’t kill us,” Viserys chuckled as he walked, “They can’t shed blood in their sacret city.” He smirked, “But I can.” He said pushing his sister to her seat with his blade, “I want what I came for, I want the crown he promised me. He bought you but he never paid for you. Tell him I want what we bargained for or I’m taking you back… he can keep the baby. I’ll cut it out and leave it for him.”

Karl Drogo answered once more,

“What’s he saying?”

“He says yes.” She answered “He says you shall have a golden crown. That men will tremble to behold.”

“Oh… well… good I… that's all I wanted, what was promised.” Viserys nodded with a drunken chuckle,

Drogo rose to his feet and comforted Dany, cradling their baby in her womb, the two shared a look of a deeper understanding but before he moved away she thought of all he had done for her, in the days before Illrio how he could have sold her away to a pleasure house, could have left her to die, and yet he didn’t. She squeezed his hand with a small plead in her eyes, the last inch of mercy she would give her brother.

Drogo merely looked to his men and they grabbed Viserys by both arms and dragged him away,

“Let go of me! Get off me! I am the dragon!”

They forced him down to his knees,

He screamed out in rage but it cooled,

As Drogo selected a gleaming gold necklace from the treasure trove, he strode over to the roaring flames of the fire and carefully placed the precious metal amidst the glowing coals. Viserys, growing increasingly desperate, frantically flipped out and implored his sister for clemency.

But she ignored him,

“Dany Please!” He begged,

Drogo used a pair of metal tongs to pick up the necklace, its gold glowing and smoking from the heat. As he approached, Viserys squirmed in desperation to escape, but Drogo's men held him firmly in place. “A Crown for A King.”

Without warning Drogo dropped the necklace down,

The hot gold meeting Visery’s head handing like a crown and setting fire to his hair, the heat melting his skin and fusing to it,

Viserys screamed as the gold links bound in a tight meld of metal and skin, he was convinced this was how he died but the Dothraki men poured a bucket of horse piss over him cooling the gold enough that the meer heat and burns wouldn’t kill him.

Dorgo made an order but viserys was too lost to listen as the men dragged him away.

At dawn, he found himself among the horses, left to die there in the muck. But to his surprise, the men came back for him.

They dragged him to the centre of camp where all the horse lords, and Drogo and Dany had gathered. They seemed surprised he was even alive.

Viserys had no strength even to hold himself up let alone to fight when Drogo gave orders. the men cut and ripped Visery’s clothes leaving him naked in view of everyone, Then bound Visery’s hands in front of his stomach, they forced him up to mount the horse bareback, tied a rope around his ankles and under the horse leaving him unable to get down even if he wanted to, another Dothraki took the reins of Visery’s horse as the hoard began to roll out forcing the horse forward.

Viserys was numb with pain, his head throbbed with pain his head still burning from the gold melded with his head, his lips chapped and desperate for water, his skin dry and burning in the hot sun, his stomach sunken and nauseous, his balls numb from the bareback on the horse, his legs cramping, everything so sore, tender and painful. He struggled even keeping himself up but he knew if he was to fall they would simply leave him to die in the mud.

The Dothraki forced him to ride for hours from dawn to dusk.

Once the sun set the Dothraki set up camp for the evening and left Viserys on his horse without so much as a cup of water or a moment of rest.

Viserys was convinced he would fall at some point in the night, and he would die in the dirt without anyone even thinking twice,

“Here,” A voice whispered, “Drink,”

Viserys opened his eyes and saw a water flask by his lips, and without a word, he latched his chapped lips around the flask and gulped down the water desperately, the cool water soothing his body even just slightly, once he had suckled every last drop it was taken from his lips and he gasped, “T-Thank you- Thank you.”

“It’s okay, Here, it’s not much but it should help,” she whispered helping to lift his body enough to slip some folded blankets between him and the horse,

It didn’t do much but even just the slight padding did wonders for his body’s pain,

“Thank you… thank you,” he said almost crying,

“There’s not much I can do for you tonight, we’ll start travelling once more in the morning.”

“No… no please I can’t take any more…” he begged,

“I’ll bring you more water and some food before dawn, I promise I will help you.”

“Thank you,” He nodded,

She moved away and went to disappear into the night,

“Wait… your name? Please.”

“Y/n.” She answered before she vanished into the darkness of camp,

“Y/n…. y/n…” He gasped doing all he could to remember her name, and her did.

She was a slave girl, Viserys had bought for Dany as a handmaiden. He had slept with her a few times on the travels, made her bathe him, and he was cruel to her… as he was to all of them. He wondered if he should trust her after all he knew he’d done to her, but he didn’t really have another choice if he didn’t want to die. He questioned why she would want to help him after how cruel and degrading he was to her, but for now, he was just thankful she even wanted to help him.

Targaryen Dragon Family Members

Spoiler Warning for anyone who hasn’t read the book Fire & Blood and/or hasn’t seen any of the episodes for House of the Dragon/Game of Thrones.

One of things I loved about the House of Dragon was seeing the many different designs for the dragons. Especially since dragons are my favourite mythical creature, ever since I read the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. 

Thankfully the design for Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion were just one design type and they really diversified their design when making this new spin off series. Making these fantasy creatures far more interesting along with their unique personalities.

According to this article: dragons-guide-house-of-the-dragons. They based the skulls of the dragons off three shapes; dinosaur (T-Rex) e.g. Seasmoke, Equine (Horse) e.g. Syrax and Canine (Dog/Wolf) e.g. Caraxes.

The second season introduced even more dragons and regardless of how you feel about the second season, I began to play a game to try and figure out who’s related to who, the Dragon version. It seems like the dragons follow their Targaryen counterparts with their interwoven family dynamics. 

Before I get started, I’ve kept in mind that the Targaryen’s fled the Valyrian Freehold with five dragons, one of which was Balerion. Considering he was the last of those five dragons alive by the time of Aegon the Conqueror, it’s easy to theorise that he was the youngest of the five by far. 

I also know that dragon eggs don’t hatch immediately when they are laid. If the eggs are kept warm regularly then they can lie dormant for years before hatching. For example, according to the book Fire & Blood, the pink dragon Morning hatched from Rhaena Targaryen’s egg after years, toward the end of the Dance of the Dragons. 

Canine (Wolf)

Caraxes: 

The most well known i.e. notorious dragon with a canine design is Caraxes, the Blood Wyrm the mount of Prince Daemon Targaryen. 

His head was designed to be wolf-like in appearance while his body was influenced by the Eastern representation of dragons.  

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOfTheDragon/comments/166hdub/concept_art_for_caraxes_in_house_of_the_dragon_s1/

‘More so than any of the other dragons, it represents the greatest deviation from the Drogon template, its serpentine shape inspired by dragons found in Chinese folklore. “The Blood Wyrm almost looks like a deformity in the way it slithers and undulates through the air versus just straight flying.” Condal says.’

(Source: House of the Dragon: Inside the Creation of the Targaryen Dynasty by Gina McIntyre, Chap 2, pg 60)

Caraxes also doesn’t appear to share his body type with any other dragon seen yet on the series (both older and younger). 

My first theory is that Caraxes came from an egg that was laid by one of the four other dragons that left with the Targaryen’s for Dragonstone before the Doom. 

My second theory is a bit more vacuous but Caraxes shares a similar name to Meraxes. Only the skull of Meraxes is seen during season 2 of House of the Dragon and even then it was in the background of the scene and there have been no depictions of Meraxes with her body before her death. Leaving the possibility open that she had a similar body shape to Caraxes.

XXX

Arrax: 

Arrax is the next dragon which I would say had a more canine influenced head. Though I do see similarities to Drogon too. Given how eggs can take a while to hatch both potential fathers are likely to be Caraxes or Seasmoke. 

Source: https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Caraxes, https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Arrax and https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOfTheDragon/comments/1bka4y4/this_dragon_is_seasmoke/

However, I’m not blind to the fact that Arrax could be the result of Seasmoke and Syrax either. His head might have become more like Seasmoke’s or Caraxes. Sadly he was taken away from us before he could become fully grown. 😢

For my own headcanon I believe Arrax  (and Vermax) were sired by both Syrax and Caraxes, because from my perspective he bears resemblance to Caraxes with Syrax’s neck frills. It would also hint that Rhaenyra never wanted to be married to Laenor and has always desired to be with Daemon. Thankfully the dragons aren’t as carefully watched as their human riders. 

Source: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/arrax-concept-for-house-of-the-dragon--8936899255036648/

XXX

Vermax:

I debated whether to put Vermax on the list for canines as he appears to have gone through a redesign between season 1 and 2. But since there’s no clear and concise picture of him in Season 2, I’m going to keep with his season 1 design. 

Source: https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Vermax

Like Arrax, I think Vermax is the offspring of Caraxes and Syrax (this opinion may change once I see his new design). As we can see above, Vermax has a more canine inspired head, very similar to Arrax and Caraxes but has the neck frills of Syrax. Then there’s a brief glimpse of him in flight as a young adult (see below).

I had a bit of a problem with this. As it looked like they just enlarged Vermax’s juvenile head and made it look a bit like they transplanted the head of an ankylosaurus onto a dragon’s body. 

Then we got a slight glimpse of Vermax at the Twins in Season 2. I’m a bit miffed that we only got this one (barely) close up scene of Vermax. Though I’ve noticed that he now has a more lovely and vibrant green to his scales (from what I could tell).

I could also see that they’ve redesigned him somewhat. His head looks a bit more streamlined like Syrax and seems to have those swept back horns. But it’s possible that his head has become a bit more like a dinosaur. His design appears to be closer to his earlier artwork than his last look in season 1. Unfortunately, I’ll have to wait until season 3 to see his final design, I just wish it didn’t take so long. 🙁

Equine (Horse)

Syrax:

The first dragon we see with an equine designed head is Syrax. She has a long, narrow snout with four protrusions on her head (two on each side). They look like horns but they’re covered in scales. Though there is a snakelike quality to her.

I didn’t see any other dragons with a similar head design until we got a brief glimpse of Sunfyre during Laeana Velaryon’s funeral.

Sunfyre: 

When I saw Sunfyre, I thought that it was likely he came from an egg laid by Syrax, as they both share the same head shape and with the same scale covered horns (possibly - can’t get a picture of Sunfyre with good enough light and quality to check). Then there’s their similar colour; Syrax with yellow scales and Sunfyre being gold. 

Not to mention he would have hatched during a time when both Viserys and Alicent were trying to get on good terms with Rhaenyra. It’s not out of the realm of possibility for Viserys to ‘heavily suggest’ that Rhaenyra give her new brother one of Syrax’s eggs as an attempt to reconcile her with Alicent. 

That was until I saw Silverwing. 

Silverwing:

I think I figured out where both Syrax and Sunfyre got their horns from. 😉 

Which makes me think that perhaps Syrax and Sunfyre are siblings rather than parent and child. This would further mirror their riders: Rhaenyra and Aegon. But without confirmation from George Martin or the showrunners, I can only speculate. 

But I think it’s definite that Syrax was hatched from one of Silverwing’s eggs. And since Silverwing is the known mate of Vermithor, I don’t think it’s far off to conclude that they're both the parents of Syrax and possibly Sunfyre too. 

Dinosaur (T-Rex)

In the Game of Thrones series, we only had Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion and all three of them despite their different colouring had the same shaped skull.

Balerion:

The first one to appear (sort of) with this head shape in House of the Dragon is Balerion’s skull. 

Source: https://collider.com/house-of-the-dragon-balerion-westeros-horror-story/

Balerion appears to have the same halo of horns as the Daenerys’ dragons do, as well as the same broad snout and brow. From looking at all dragons from both series, I believe that Balerion is definitely the sire and grandsire of the majority of the dragons living, going by the amount of dragons that appear to share his head shape. The spin off series following Aegon’s Conquest might undermine this but until it airs, I’ll stick with this.

Vhagar & Vermithor:

Next is Vhagar and Vermithor. They both appear to have the dinosaur inspired head shape, though Vhagar appears to have been created with influence of modern day monitor lizards. Her head reminds me especially of a Komodo dragon,

Source: https://pixels.com/featured/komodo-dragon-profile-bill-cubitt.html

When we finally saw Vermithor in Season 2, I began to believe that Vermithor hatched from one of Vhagar’s eggs. 

When we compare them we can see the similarities in their head shapes and we can even see Vermithor developing the beginning of a gullet like Vhagars’. Though Vermithor still has some of his horns while Vhagar’s appeared to have fallen off in old age. 

‘...She maybe was once a very beautiful jade dragon but is now a kaiju, a monster, because of her age. Any horns that she’s had have been pushed out by the growth of her skull… For reference, Serkeris studied images of ageing reptiles, including turtles and alligators.’

(Source: House of the Dragon: Inside the Creation of the Targaryen Dynasty by Gina McIntyre, Chap 2, pg 57)

‘Vermithor is very nearly the same size as Vhagar, with an enormous wingspan and all the hallmarks of old age, including loose skin and missing scales.’

And since I mentioned above that I believe Vermithor and Silverwing are the parents of Syrax. I think it made this scene hilarious.

Dreamfyre & Seasmoke: 

Then there’s Dreamfyre and Seasmoke. Sadly Dreamfyre isn’t seen much in Season 1 and doesn’t appear at all in Season 2. In season 1, the best we have is a slightly illuminated image when she’s in the Dragonpit and one at a distance during the funeral on Driftmark. 

However, from what we can see in the Dragonpit is that she has the similar head design as Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion. 

Given that Dreamfyre is the oldest, having hatched while Aegon the Conqueror was still King, it wouldn't be a big leap to deduce that she’s the ancestor/mother of Seasmoke and Drogon and his siblings. 

I do hope we see her properly in Season 3 as well as Tessarion (They’re both blue, which is my favourite colour) 

Then there’s Seasmoke, the mount of Ser Laenor Velaryon. Despite his smaller size, it’s clear that there are strong similarities between him and Daenerys’ dragons and of course to Dreamfyre. 

Apart from the head shape and horn crest both Drogon and Seasmoke share a similar design on their tail and neck fin which only strengthens the evidence that they’re related.

‘Four of the dragons were modelled quite closely on Drogon, including Seasmoke… though Laenor’s dragon is smaller, with a slightly altered wingspan to give the creature a more youthful appearance.’

Source: https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Seasmoke and https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/close-up-of-drogon-the-dragon--1407443625283046/

Personally, I still believe Dany’s eggs are the three eggs stolen from Dreamfyre by Elissa Farman and sold to the Sealord of Braavos as they look too similar but it’s possible that Syrax is their mother if Seasmoke was the father. 

Finally there’s Meleys, the Red Queen: 

Meleys:

Other than Caraxes and Moondancer, I think Meleys is a dragon with one of the most unique designs. I can’t see any of the older or younger dragons bearing a resemblance to her. Her head crest is unlike any seen on Dreamfyre or Syrax and instead of frills on her neck she has rows of horns. 

Her head design also seems to be a cross between an equine and dinosaur design. From the front Meleys’ design looks more like a dinosaur but from the side her head looks longer, more streamlined with a slight droop. 

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOfTheDragon/comments/1dy3jwl/i_was_worried_the_show_wouldnt_do_meleys_justice/ and https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/meleys-and-seasmoke-laena-n-laenor-velaryons-dragons-sea-1-ep-5-house-of-dragons-91822--321655598400053208/

It’s possible that like Caraxes, the egg Meleys came from was laid by a dragon that had long since passed by the time of the Conquest. However, during season 2 of House of the Dragon, I noticed the skull of Meraxes (later confirmed by the showrunners) in the background of any library/archive scene on Dragonstone. 

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOfTheDragon/comments/1di097c/meraxes_skull/

Despite the broader snout, those straight horns sticking up look very familiar. I won’t know until Meraxes is brought to the screen but I believe it’s a good possibility.

I do hope that the new spinoff series of the Conquest is done well but regardless I’ll be excited to see how Balerion and Meraxes are designed and brought to life. 

Outliers

Moondancer:

One of the dragon designs I most enjoyed this season was Moondancer. 

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOfTheDragon/comments/1dwr4ti/moon_dancer/

‘Moondancer… presented the artists with an ideal opportunity to break the mould… “Moondancer is the rock star of the bunch,”... “She’s the punk rocker. She has more of a Mohawk.”’ 

(Source: House of the Dragon: Inside the Creation of the Targaryen Dynasty by Gina McIntyre, Chap 2, pg 71)

She’s an amalgam of so many different dragons, it’s possible she’s a descendant of a few or all of them but who’s the sire and grandsire, I have no idea. 

Moondancer has the green scales and the beginnings of a gullet like Vhagar. She has a triangular, canine head like Caraxes. And then there’s the swept back horns and the frills on the head and tail like Syrax and Silverwing. 

Sheepstealer:

Sheepstealer is described as an ‘ugly, mud-brown’ dragon in the books. While we haven’t got a detailed, up close image of him, his design is certainly interesting. I particularly like the design of his wings, it reminds me of claws. I can honestly picture him in a horror movie. Hopefully we get to see some of his personality in the next season. I really want them to show Rhaena claiming him, she’s waited for so long she deserves the spotlight. 

Source: https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Sheepstealer

As for parentage it’s impossible to say. I’d say it’s possible to be in a similar situation to Caraxes and Meleys, where his sire died long before he hatched. 

He does seem to have a more canine inspired design for his head rather than equine. But there could also be a dinosaur influence as well. I’ll have to wait for season 3 to draw more clues and just in case the show decides to redesign him before season 3 starts.

XXX

Stormcloud:

Firstly, Little Stormcloud is absolutely adorable 😍😍😍😍😍😍 We need more baby dragons 🥰

Source: https://screenrant.com/house-of-the-dragon-season-3-aegon-stormcloud-not-happen/

As for parentage it’s harder to say from his looks because he’s so young. His head might grow more like a canine or a dinosaur, it’s too early to tell.

However, since he’s the dragon of Daemon’s firstborn son and first child with Rhaenyra, I’m willing to bet Stormcloud is definitely one Syrax’s egg with Caraxes. It could be one of Dreamfyre’s eggs but considering Aegon the Younger was born during Rhaenyra’s 6 year isolation on Dragonstone. I don’t think Rhaenyra would have travelled all the way to King’s Landing when she had a supply of eggs at the ready under the Dragonmont. 

XXX

Tyraxes:

Obviously not sure, as we never got a glimpse of Tyraxes only heard him rattling about in his cage 🙁 Poor thing 🙁

Source: https://www.aol.co.uk/dragons-still-war-house-dragon-095758750.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAEJoYIdfPDaVqX0YBjyW_ZXrgd04QJf3k6dpzOVllpJtuHXGxFkrmL2y-i06EDoyEiCPPL0_DwyNSB2ZBs4zZjvtzVkqojxuDQM7lUU_hSALYDM8NDn6Mu-y8Ws3FLd9NlGqHvCIsB_jXlyXegotKD_1_TFxZ5u8v6z-DhcBHmPe

Given the name similarities I like to think it’s possible his egg came from a union of Caraxes and Syrax, just like Vermax and Arrax.

XXX

Tessarion:

We only got a brief glimpse of her toward the end of the season but I was excited to see her. And I’m looking forward to seeing her properly next season. Mainly because as I mentioned my favourite colour is blue and I love seeing blue dragons. 

Source: https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/house-of-the-dragon-tessarion-explained-2841424/

From this brief look, she looks like a blue version of Arrax. Until we get a closer look, I’m going to predict that Tessarion is one of Syrax’s eggs. Possibly another attempt to bridge the gap between the Black and Green Factions by Viserys or Rhaenyra or both. 

Or going by the blue colour, Tessarion could've come from one of Dreamfyre’s eggs.

I hope you’ve had some fun reading this. I certainly entertained myself thinking about it during Season 2. 

If you disagree with anything I’ve proposed feel free to disagree. This is mainly from my perspective.
