#[ i have a lot of thoughts and feelings about jacaerys and i'm gonna shout them from the rooftops on this blog constantly so ]

[worthyheir]

Before I write out this long post (I might not even finish it today tbh) about that conversation, just know that that conversation NEEDED TO HAPPEN, but it being framed around the dragonseeds when the dragonseeds were literally his idea (and there was no mention of it only being higher born people my god did these writers read their own scripts??? like in the SHOW they are his idea AND in the book and they are acting like Rhaenyra came up with it now b/c they forgot what they wrote) but the conversation about his insecurities about when his mother dies / will there be another civil war after because of his obviously not Targaryen appearance? He has a dragon that hatched to him in the cradle - that strength is there, like he obviously is a Dragonrider. He's got the Targaryen claim, but the bastard rumors circle and he has two brothers who are true born and fully Targaryen (through his mother and Daemon) and who people might see as having a more powerful claim than him or Joffrey (or Luke pre-Dance b/c he had similar thoughts but not about a whole full fledged war).

I'm mostly asking to thread out that conversation at it should have happened, probably even before the Dance started (though could also fit during because those thoughts are 10 times stronger once he realizes how easy it is for the country to fall to war over the inheritance), tbh so like if any Rhaenyra's are down~~~.
