teeny rules update! making this post just to make it clear what was updated 🫡.
added a disclaimer that this is so not the place for you if you're the fandom police as i have no time for purity culture. on that note, also added that please don't follow me if your rules state you won't interact with anyone who writes incest. look at the universe. the character. my rules. i'm so tired
edited my rule about mains to say i am very much open to mains and exclusives, but also that it must be mutual! if you're in my mains i expect to be in yours, etc. also updated the mains list. also this isn't there but if you 🫵 would like to be mains we should talk about it ✨
last but not least, added a point about how it'd be nice if people interested in writing with me were aware of some characterization points that differ heavily from show!helaena and therefore the most common depictions of her (in fandom, not necessarily in the rpc). these being mostly: 1. s2 based plots have to be plotted because none of it applies to my helaena. 2. she is a dreamer but she is neither lost in her own mind nor cryptic in speech. her dreams work much like in the books, being vague and metaphorical. 3. she is a dragonrider she loves dreamfyre flying is her greatest joy in life. not considering her as a threat (or an asset) early in the war is stupid. 4. helaena is very aware of the situation and the stakes. she knows her duties as queen and why they matter. she had a voice in aegon's council, and influenced his decision to not go for violence from the beginning. she does not sit by the sidelines uninterested in all that is happening and she's definitely not incapable of keeping up.

everyone is free to set their boundaries! you don't have to see content you don't want to see. however, i'd like to reinforce that, as said in my rules, there will be incest in this blog. helaena is married to her brother aegon, but that's not even my point — the point is that, in this universe as it was written, this particular westerosi house sees incest as normal. my character is perfectly fine with being in love with her brothers, and i write her as such, including romantic interactions, because that's how the context she's in works. if your rules state you won't interact with people who write incest, this is not the blog for you. i won't follow first and likely won't follow back at all if that's the case, because i don't want to constantly worry about making people uncomfortable for approaching canon as it is.

by the time helaena is born, targaryen royalty customs are well established. aegon married his two sisters even before he was king, maegor married his niece who had been married to her brother, jaehaerys and alysanne went against everyone else to get married, baelon and alyssa were also siblings, viserys married his cousin, rhaenyra would eventually marry her uncle. but to say incest is normalized in their family is understating it; it's expected, especially post jaehaerys' rule, as he establishes the exceptionalism doctrine.
there is definitely a blood purity element related to holding on to their own power, not mixing to keep it to themselves (not just the throne but the dragons, as grrm recently said in one of his blog posts). but this doesn't have an impact only on targaryens thinking themselves superior; it others them — it puts them in a position of being isolated from the rest of the world. a targaryen alone in the world is a terrible thing implies that this is truth because there is no one quite like them; and i think most of them have that so ingrained in them from birth that that's how they feel.
for helaena, that is most definitely true. i don't think she really cares about the blood purity part, but i think she's deeply affected by it nonetheless. she's a targaryen, after all, and that entails she is different even if she doesn't feel she's above. the rules don't apply to them because they're not the same as everyone else, so how can everyone else understand them?
when it comes to romantic relationships, that plays a big part. she most definitely can (and would!) develop romantic feelings for other people, but she'll never feel they can understand her as one of her own might. moreover, she would've been aware from a rather young age that her most likely matches wouldn't be outside the family. it was always going to be aegon or jace or aemond; more unlikely, lucerys or daeron. targaryen princesses aren't given to just anyone. more often than not, they're given to their brothers, in a way that works much like the treatment every other noble woman in westeros receives, except with the blood purity and we're special mentality added to the mix.
she has no reason to question those views. as things happen, this is purely how her world is shaped, and her feelings go against no laws. if she doesn't want to marry aegon, it isn't because he's her brother, it's because she thinks they'll never be happy together because they're not what the other wants.
being siblings first impacts their marriage and their bond, and makes it even more messy and complex given their inability to be husband and wife, but their incompatibility isn't inherent to their blood ties, and helaena wouldn't factor those as a problem at all. in scenarios where she develops feelings for aemond, i generally see it as rather codependent. in many ways he is idealized and forgiven everything and she relies on him heavily. it doesn't mean i think both of these dynamics don't have their moments of tenderness, or even pure sexual attraction. their issues can coexist with softness also existing between them. and to be completely honest, i can't even point to what would be problematic about her and jace other than a possible conflict of loyalties. because in the universe they exist in, them being related isn't an issue for them.
had things been different and all of them lived long enough in a different scenario, this would in turn be how her children were raised. jaehaerys and jaehaera would absolutely be married to each other and they'd be raised to see that as fine and expected and even desirable because that's what their messed up family does.
any fleeting thought about it being wrong that the faith or their hightower family may suggest is quickly dismissed with 'they're the blood of old valyria and the gods made them different'. and to be very honest, house hightower clearly doesn't have an issue with it, given they're the ones who marry helaena to aegon. if you read the books it's noticeable people in universe condemn incest but not the targaryens, because they're seen as closer to gods than men. catelyn thinks it, i'm pretty sure cersei also does, and jaime doesn't understand what makes them special, and in dunk and egg there's a moment where egg casually talks about his sister wanting him to marry her instead of his other sister and dunk is like 'oh that's normal for him' because he's a targaryen. they don't see it the same way as the rest of westeros, and most of the time nothing would prompt them having conflicting feelings on the matter unless they were heavily exposed to outside influence. helaena definitely isn't. her family is pretty much her whole world.
