"rhaenys could have ended the war by dracarysing all the greens right there" yes because a distant relation to the throne deciding to barbecue an anointed and publicly positively hailed king and his entire family who is well loved within the city and in multiple other parts of the country for the sake of the succession of a far-away princess no one was ever on board with who hasn't been seen by the populace in literal years, her psycho husband, her three obvious bastards, and two toddlers from the psycho husband would go over super well with westeros and especially in king's landing where scores of the still-cheering population were killed for no reason by that same dragon who would do the barbecuing, because when targaryens act unilaterally without thinking of how the people would react there's never any problem, which is why the storming of the dragonpit and robert's rebellion were actually just collective delusions dreamed up by readers who hate rhaenyra and not key parts of the story and house targaryen's history that directly contributed to their demise and are intrinsic to the plot

truly team black stans are made up of only the most genius and media literate amongst us

#personal #house of the dragon #anti team black #i mean i guess??#like the crowd was cheering for aegon HARD #and they were always on board with aegon #and the hightowers are a powerful house with a lot of allies #and alicent and helaena specifically were well loved by the people in king's landing and the realm at large #and none of them ever liked rhaenyra or daemon who again have been MIA for basically a decade already #and again targaryens overreaching their power and not taking the people into account #is the reason why their house fell into oblivion and now rests entirely on a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL WHO IS THE ONLY ONE LEFT #if she roasted the dais the mob wouldn't have even let her leave they'd have killed her and meleys both in a heartbeat #storming of the dragonpit but a couple months earlier #the thing to remember is that i think a lot of team black stans are just kinda stupid #and do not care about the story at all or the actual intricacies of the world and its politics that is so important to the dance #(remember the rumors of rhaenyra mistreating helaena and alicent literally led to rhaenyra's death)#(because it led to the mobs and the storming of the dragonpit and the death of joffrey and her being driven out)#(and thus having to go to dragonstone where sunfyre got a little meal out of the whole debacle good for him)#(along with all of her ten million other shitty political decisions)#how do you profess to be pro-targaryen without even knowing targaryen history and where they erred and how that ended them #like *i* like the targaryens you guys have heard me talk about the conquerors all the livelong day #but i am also smart and i understand the world george created and the concept of repercussions #anyway yeah i am Annoyed at that new daemon clip (wow what a shock something annoyed me and had daemon in it)#(my least favorite character who could have foreseen this)
