being a dragon dreamer seems like so much effort imagine being a targaryen and having this weight on your shoulders of everything to come but you don’t actually know what it means all whilst your brother and sister are having sex in the room next door

Helaena the Dreamer

Everyone on the platform is terrified, except for Helena, who stands calmly watching. She almost looks gratified, as if she'd known this was going to happen. Because she did.

It's still a WIP but I felt like sharing it!

Also yeah, I gave Helaena a crown cause she absolutely deserves one 😌

And here's the finished result, hope y'all like it!

Daenys the Dreamer. Daughter of Aenar Targaryen, a dragon lord of the Valyrian Freehold. She was a dragon dreamer who foresaw the fall of Valyria. Her father listened to her warnings and fled with his family to Westeros. She is the great-great-great grandmother of Aegon the Conqueror and his sister-wives Rhaenys and Visenya. Her visions led to the Targaryens being the only dragonlords to survive the fall of Valyria.

Dragon Dreamers

The Doom of Valyria

When Daenys was still a maiden, she had a powerful prophetic dream, showing the destruction of Valyria by fire.

On the day of the Doom, every hill for five hundred miles exploded, filling the air with ash and smoke and fire, which killed even dragons.

When the Doom of Valyria came twelve years later, House Targaryen was the only family of dragonriders which survived.

It seems that everyone at court kind of shrugs off Helaena’s dragon dreaming as odd mumblings and no one takes her seriously. It must have been hard for her, especially since no one else really understood her or cared to really listen.

My headcanon is that Alys has always been in Helaena’s dreams, encouraging her to nurture her skills as a seer and learn how to control it. Because knowing that Alys has been around for a LONG time and presumably knew that there were other dragon dreamers before, she could have considered Helaena a valuable seer to communicate with. Maybe she saw the Targaryen princess as an asset to her plans or perhaps she just feels a connection with other seers and dragon dreamers.

Or maybe she just likes having another woman to be weird with. Either way, I love that these two are connected through their sight.

You want to know what bothers me about adapting the "a song of ice and fire" prophecy in house of the dragon and making Aegon the conquer a dragon dreamer (which I think it's pretty cool if he was) is that Viserys says it was passed from heir to heir which makes no sense because how the hell would Jaeherys know about the prophecy which is who told Viserys who tells Rhaenyra. If like Aegon told Aenys who would tell his son Aegon (the uncrowned) but Aegon had no sons and his daughter would have been way too young to remember or even understand. Aegon dies almost immediately after they are born.Unless Aenys told Alyssa and she Jaeherys or Aenys told all his sons about the it, or maybe Rhaena knew but it seems unlikely.

bonus points if they're also described as being "shy" or "preferring the company of animals"

As a severely autistic woman, I genuinely believe they only made Helaena autistic and detached from reality so they could avoid having her interact in a meaningful manner with her brothers, her children and have an excuse for not giving her a personality, and deepening and exploring her character. B&C also loses its impact, from the way they portrayed her in that sequence to the aftermath. They only allow her to grieve for one episode and then quickly moved on it’s oh, well, children die every day. Some people may act like this to cope with loss, but how come we only see this from Helaena ? It’s like she completely forgot that Jaehaerys ever existed. They only made her a “dreamer” so that they don’t have to do anything with her character and wr

Which is disgusting because we aren’t emotionless shells that are incapable of having loving connections with people, and experiencing rage and grief and loss, as well as happiness and joy. Autistic people can lash out, get very emotional and attached. Not showing that isn’t giving a fully rounded character. HOTD used a lot of harmful stereotypes, “magical autist”, “pure innocent childlike”, “robotic/unexpressive autist.”

Funny how I mentioned something like this in many of my posts about how I disliked Helaena's characterization in the show HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, & HERE. Thank you for listing out the specific stereotypes, and yeah I agree. i just can't like Helaena becoming a dreamer or how she's written in her neurodivergence the way that she has.

Even though one asker mentioned Patchface and Duncan the Drunken (these were for if the show really wanted Helaena's "dreams"-that-are-not-dragon-dreams to have any point or significance in their fanfiction) I still dislike Helaena becoming a non-dreamer. I'd still hate it for the overall story bc there was no point injecting an intense magical elements in the humans of this particular generation of Targs and it is still lead by this weird "Cassandra" thing on the writer's part. Helaena was made a "dreamer" not bc they were interested in exploring her part in ASoIaF's magic but to psychologically isolate her.

They only allow her to grieve for one episode and then quickly moved on it’s oh, well, children die every day. Some people may act like this to cope with loss, but how come we only see this from Helaena ? It’s like she completely forgot that Jaehaerys ever existed.

Yeah, we don't really see her mourn Jaehaerys in the what...few weeks or days after his death even without words. Have her fidget with an object he used to play with or visit his dragon or tear up now an again, plz!

But of course she was never meant to be a real person, just a "Cassandra" firgure.

This is OC non canon character in the books/show. This is Daella Targaryen, youngest daughter of Viserys I Targaryen and Aemma Arryn, younger sister of Rhaenyra Targaryen. Named after Daella, daughter of Jaehaerys Targaryen.

A very quiet and sophisticated girl that she would rather to play harp and books than involving in the political drama. So she was dubbed as "Silver Maiden."

Has no dragon and didn't have egg to hatch or claim one.

Also she has prophetic visions and can see past, present and future.

---------------------------

I plan to write fanfic since I've written before, but I deleted them cuz' I didn't like the way I write. But I found a new source of training and I like it. Maybe I write a story about her one day and hope that you'll like it! ❤❤❤

House of Dragon is on its way to butcher Helaena's character I fear... Portraying her as this absent-minded, borderline unstable person is so reductive of her character and of every dragon dreamer in the Game of Thrones lore. How can dragon dreamers be that way when Daenys had no problems convincing her father to move the whole family away from Valyria on a simple vision that she had ? Plus, Helaena is capable of handling herself in the book. She rides one of the most beautiful dragon in the world and she is a beloved queen despite all the events of the dance. She never did anything to anyone and I feel like the writers of House of the Dragon just use her character when they have a plot hole. They're going to torture her with Blood and Cheese, relish on her pain and make a shocking spectacle out of it and then keep her away until she dies without giving her any personnality along the way. Phia Saban deserves better !!!
