#Anti Ryan Condal

[coffeebooksrain18]

oh yeah sure, maelor is not ''important enough'' to be in the show according to tb and these fuckass writers but we definitely needed 100 different scenes of rhaenyra's babies to show how great of a mother she is. this show and the fandom its created is such a circus i swear😒

Exactly! Also we got no scenes of Alicent being a mom besides her children screaming and crying. We got not one but two labor scenes for Rhaenyra, but not ONE for Alicent or Helaena? And TB thinks the show has the same sympathy for the characters? Interesting.

I'm convinced the show is actually bad fanfiction while fanfiction is actually canon.

Aegon and Sunfyre canonically having the strongest dragonrider bond

Aegon and Sunfyre being so connected we get the quote “who can truly know the heart of a dragon?”

Sunfyre being the most beautiful dragon in the known world

Aegon choosing his sigil to honor SUNFYRE

I’m so sorry they did this to you my babies y’all deserved so much better.

[tessarionbestgirl]

I feel sick.

[aryas-faces]

Is this a fucking joke?!

ALICENT has never sacrificed anything?!

Alicent has sacrificed EVERYTHING

She sacrificed her choices and happiness for Otto by marrying the King. She sacrificed her friendship with Rhaenyra. She sacrificed her bodily autonomy to give the king a male heir. She sacrificed her own safety for the safety of her children. She was prepared to die by dragonfire for Aegon, sacrificing her own life for his

But no. She has never sacrificed anything. Everything has been handed to her on a silver platter according to these writers

Meanwhile wtf has Rhaenyra sacrificed? A random knight so she could marry Daemon? A ton of innocent people for more dragons? Those aren’t personal sacrifices the way Alicent’s are. She’s sacrificing other people for herself

Not the same at all

And everything she has, she has been handed on a silver platter. Daddy named her heir, despite her treason in passing off bastards as heirs to Driftmark. She fucked off to Dragonstone and still was heir. She got the Riverlands because of Daemon, not anything she did. She got the dragons through evil means. Alicent offers her everything she wants

It it’s Alicent who has never sacrificed anything?

And now she’s being forced by the writers to sacrifice her son; the person she did all this to protect. Now she’s choosing Rhaenyra because this is redemption to the writers instead of the character assassination that it is

At least Olivia tries to save what she can by making Alicent have a panic attack

[blackcat419]

To everyone saying ‘oh George should of solved this behind closed doors’ or ‘oh he should shut up and write winds’

I need you to listen closely. This is obviously his last resort. HBO and Condal have stopped listening to him. This is how he’s keeping influence over HIS work. This is HIS story. He is more than justified to be mad they’re changing it. This is his last attempt to get influence back over his work. He’s showing HBO he won’t be quiet anymore. They can’t walk over him like they did with GOT.

He’s also allowed to work on two things at once.

[prettymuchteddy]

Today was actually amazing for me because of this. He ate and no one will ever convince me he’s in the wrong (cause how y’all ruin two adaptions of his work back to back💀)

[sunfyrisms]

i bring a “house of the dragon is a poorly written fanfic cash grab that glorifies house targaryen and completely misses the message of fire and blood. all the characters deserve better” vibe people aren’t particularly fond of i fear

[gwenllian-in-the-abbey]

I feel like it shouldn't need to be said, but a relatively faithful adaptation of the source material is actually a very normal and reasonable thing for both an author and that author's fanbase to want. People can sneer about book purists all they want but it's the rare adaptation that surpasses the original, and HotD does not even come close.

[maglors-grief]

Ryan Condal telling GRRM that they couldn't include Maelor because he didn't want another toddler on set is pretty ridiculous to me when you think about how they aged down all of the children and made them all toddlers. Jaehaerys and Jaehaera weren't toddlers in the book. Aegon and Viserys weren't toddlers in the book. He included 4 toddlers into the show for no reason and then he excluded the only character who was actually a toddler. Like what was the point of all that Ryan??

[coffeebooksrain18]

literally the only reason they didn't include a labor scene with neither alicent nor heleana is because fans would sympathize with TG and especially with alicent. they've really made sure to remove any moments that make TG the ones to root for

They really did, they took out Rhaenyra being awful to her younger siblings, they took out ANYTHING to let people sympathize with the greens.

[spacerockfloater]

Ryan Condal choosing the necessary plotlines that HOTD must include:

Nettles ✗

Maelor ✗

The Greens loving one another ✗

Rhaenyra being cruel ✗

A whole bunch of other important shit ✗

Tyland Lannister being a sperm donor for a polygamous woman and her concubines (which slay, but priorities?) ✓

[theflorasdiary]

still mourning this loss

[ophelieverse]

Everything is reduced to misunderstandings,mistakes and accidents.No one is plotting to take/steal the power like it was supposed to.

Characters are completely changed or are the opposite of what they are in the book.The is no gray,only black and white,only good people or bad ones.

Different team stans are at each other’s throats.

Daemon and Aemond are plotting against the people they are most loyal to and they want to become kings by themselves.

Daeron is lost somewhere and it’s rumored to be a bastard.

Maelor and Nettles don’t exist.Their storylines were so important for characters like Daeron,Helaena,Daemon and Rhaenyra.

Apparently having dragon blood/being valyrian has no use to ride a dragon.

Other dragons,like Dreamfyre,are long forgotten.

There was no interaction,no relationship,not even a conversation between Viserys children.

Laenor simply running away,living his best life in Essos meanwhile his family started a civil war.Same as Daeron,who is trapped in Oldtwon while his siblings are destroying each other.Perfect sense.

Rumors about Alys engaging a relationship with Daemon instead that with Aemond.

Aegon and Criston Cole being the most hated in the fandom when in the book they were completely different,so much wasted potential.

Rhaenyra being paint as saint/mary sue,instead that the political idiot she actually is and the bad person she is(and that’s why i loved her in the book).

Alicent being a scheming little bitch,a Margaery 1.0,not a little scared girl that did what she did because of a misunderstanding.She wanted to usurp the throne,she wanted the power and she didn’t stopped in front of anything.

Rhaenicent scene in the Temple was a comic relief,because otherwise it make no sense if you think about how the characters were supposed to be.Just another proof of how “good” and “misunderstood” they are,acting like it’s the world that goes against them and that is not them that are keep doing a bullshit after another.

Helaena having no reaction after Blood and Cheese,but saying that things like this happen in the world.When in reality this is the event that will forever change her life,she will stop sleeping,bathing and eating.She won’t even look at her other children without feeling guilty for what happened.She literally goes insane with grief.

Rhaena bonding with the dragon that Nettles was supposed to have and that’s mean that we won’t probably see her real dragon:the pink baby Morning,that represents the hope for the dragons because in the dance they all died.

Ryan Condal if you plan to make a show about the Conquest,i beg you to not do it.I don’t want to see Visenya and Rhaenys being rivals and fight over Aegon,because i know this is what will happen!

[aryas-faces]

The House of the Dragon writers are so jealous of Book Aegon

Canonical Aegon traits/characteristics they gave to Rhaenyra:

- Aegon’s motivation to protect his family is given to Rhaenyra, they even have Rhaenys say “The Greens are coming for you, Rhaenyra. And your children.” And have that be the final line of the season 1 recap. As if in the book it isn’t Aegon who is told Rhaenyra is coming for him and his whole children and that that ALONE convinces him to become King

- All but admitted to making show Syrax the book Sunfyre equivalent. Ryan Condal said Syrax is a golden dragon who has an incredible bond with her rider and is the kind of dragon you’d want to put on your banner. And called the bond between Aegon and Sunfyre maester propaganda

- Has Rhaenyra want to fly into battle, which she doesn’t in the book, to make her seem as brave and selfless as Aegon

Made it seem like Rhaenyra didn’t want the throne and was forced to take it, which is basically what happens to Aegon in the book

Meanwhile, they gave Rhaenyra starving the smallfolk and them rebelling against her to Aegon. They had to make Aegon a rapist who enjoys watching children fight just to try and desperately make it so he wouldn’t become the fan fave, and it still isn’t working. They have everything in their power to stop Aegon from becoming beloved, and it still didn’t work

General audiences may be Team Black because of what they did Aegon in the show, but he has still become the favorite character. The amount of people I’ve seen say they’re Team Black but Aegon is their fave/the best character is crazy

[a0random0gal]

Aemond after killing Luke:

"Noo I didn't mean to do that!🥺 He may have gouged my eye out, never apologized for it and grinned at the memory of bullying me, but he didn't deserve to die!

Aemond after Aegon made fun of him in a brothel:

"Fuck the fact that we're on the same team, fuck the fact that he insisted to have me on his council because I'm his brother, fuck the fact that this would doom our cause, this asshole has to die."

10/10 Ryan the writer that you are!
