#JUSTICE FOR VISENYA MY GIRL DID THAT SHIT BUT SHE HAD GOOD REASONS

[atopvisenyashill]

Please bring back the anon mode, I fear sharing my opinions publicly like the coward I am. Since your name is atop Visenya’s hills, I have to ask

Do you think the fandom mischaracterize her too much? I always see it in fanart, discussions that Visenya was the big bad person and Rhaenys the good natured silly princess and last time I checked both of them were trifling at times. I like Rhaenys duality as a trifling at times character but truth is still that she was wilding out.

Rhaenys went ahead and instigated a war in Dorne by bunting Planky Town😭 civilians, not the ports, not the exits, old, women, and children😭 I never seen one conquest of hers where she didn’t get to violence.

Rhaenys depsite being the favourite wife still had affairs. Before the “rumours by the maesters” gang come for me, Rhaenys was the most liked of the two wives. Visenya is accused of sorcery and even when it’s admitted people thought she was beautiful they had to add “Even those who loved her best found her beauty to be more austere than her sister Rhaenys”. They can’t even let her have her stans. It’s also funny that Rhaenys surrounds herself with comely young men, can you imagine a man surrounding himself of comely young ladies, mummers and dancers, no matter how fond of the arts he was! Now Aegon still spending 10 nights with Rhaenys over Visenya maybe a form of cuck fetish, maybe she was having affairs to stress him out so he’d overdo attention to her but that’s not my point. Maybe since it was an unconventional marriage they all fucked whoever they liked and Rhaenys is the one who got caught. Whatever

Visenya maybe was sterner but she wasn’t without softness or warmth. Created the Kingsguard, had sense to not surround herself with side pieces, and she was nice enough to Ronnel to be comfortable with her, the child didn’t seem distress by her presence despite the giant dragons so I assume she wasn’t all mean.

People often use the usurpation as a defining moment but often forget that for YEARS she’s kinda been pushed to the limit? Aegon straight up neglected her son and left them on Dragonstone, man approved the match to Ceryse who was 10 years older. And Aegon absolutely fostered the distance between Aenys and Maegor because there’s no other way Aenys would feel bold enough to take Dragonstone from Maegor. Not to forget Aegon had married her to steal her claim to Dragonstone since if married, his claim would supercede hers.

Another mis characterization is that Rhaenys is always curvier (hips, chest) mind you she was the slender one, but Visenya is explicitly described as curvaceous and seductive. They even took away her titties and her rizz😭 FREE VISENYA

asljfdlksjdafdkj sorry i kept getting like mean anon messages, i was honestly deleting the most out of pocket ones and posting the ones i thought were funny but i had gotten like 6 in one day and i was like alright enough i can't fucking do this rn and that's why i turned anon off but i'll probably turn it back on soon.

last time I checked both of them were trifling at times.

no because REAL. i do think visenya often has this reputation In The General Fandom as this like unfeeling evil ice queen, not dissimilar from for comparison's sake the way cersei and catelyn are characterized in fandom - her flaws are inflated or made contextless from what she has experienced and people just kinda pretend like she's a one note villain to Rhaenys' sweet charming queen. but i don't think that's at all accurate to how she's characterized in the series nor do i think rhaenys as the ~sweet never wrong favored wife~ is very accurate for Rhaenys. Look at the beginning of the conquest for an example - Visenya rolls up to Cracklaw Point, to a people who don't really want her there, and instead of just threatening them with fire and blood, she just kinda points at Harrenhal and goes "if you submit right now without a fight i won't give you any overlord but the crown itself" which is a pretty nice deal for a region that has been regularly fighting off being ruled by other people! she takes it bloodlessly through diplomacy! now what does rhaenys do when she goes to dorne? she immediately starts making threats! she refuses to see why perhaps the descendants of the rhoynar aren't high on the idea of being ruled by what's left of valyria! she just threatens and leaves. and when it's time to take dorne, what does she do? she burns planky town the home of the orphans of the greenblood, the last stronghold of rhoynish customs and culture! she completely and totally botches the dornish conquest!!

now this isn't to say that visenya isn't also a) weird about dorne (because basically every single targaryen up until daeron ii is weird as shit about dorne) and b) full of vicious and self righteous violence herself. but as you say both of them do some extremely stupid shit yet only one of them has a reputation for being evil!

and yeah, the thing is, while i think aegon is very smart in how he handles his lords (again, outside of dorne) he is dumb as a box of rocks about how he handles his own sons. he's just very clearly playing favorites, letting the rift get bigger and bigger, actively antagonizing visenya, and not only that but like - visenya isn't wrong that there is a slight succession issue here between maegor and rhaena, given that visenya is the oldest wife and the first wife, but he completely handwaves this off, which really heavily implies a rejection of visenya and maegor completely. should they have reacted the way they did? well no lmao but it's stupid to pretend like aegon doesn't set his kids up for failure here when he sees how deeply unhappy visenya and maegor are and does absolutely nothing to help the situation.

Also damn you're right, I have always had this issue with the way the conquerors are depicted, especially the women as being these two barbie bombshells but like, canonically, VISENYA IS HOTTER the same way Rhaena is considered hotter than Alysanne but whereas Alysanne always gets depicted with her yellow hair and mismatched eyes and a kind of cute, round face to Rhaena's much more Valyrian steely looks, Rhaenys is ALWAYS this Valyrian bombshell. Rhaenys should be drawn the same as Alyssa T and Alysanne though like where do we think they got their looks hmmmm??? IT WAS RHAENYS. RHAENYS IS NOT A BOMBSHELL SHE'S A REGULAR LADY. SHE'S 'CUTEST GIRL IN YOUR ANTHROPOLOGY 101 CLASS' HOT!!!!!!! SHE'S NOT A MODEL!!!!!!!!!

“Would it be so bad if we just dropped him in the water.” I said to Varys huffing as I struggled to pick up the Crate. He just rolled eyes with no response but I suppose that was the response he meant. It had take us a while to finally get to where we were headed. We kept our heads low until we got there just trying to avoid anyone at all.

He tumbled out of the crate facing Varys. Took a while before he stood up. And also to balance because of the lack of the use of his legs. When he managed to stand up he looked up at me. A stunned look on his face. He looked over at Varys and then at me.

“ apologies.” Varys said going to wash his hands.

“My lady my sincerest apologies for the death of your father.” He said while he leaned on the crate. I looked down at my wine cup and swirled the little wine I had left. It was hard to think about that everytime I did I couldn’t help but be sad and angry.

“Thank you.” I whispered.

“I still don’t see why I had to stay in this fucking crate once we sat sail.” He said looking over at Varys. I quietly scoffed at his response.

“I saved your life if they catch you they catch me. I cannot say I feel overly guilty about leaving you in that fucking crate.” Varys answered.

“Do you know what’s it’s like stuffing your shit over one of those air holes?” He questioned.

“No we only know picking up that shit and throwing overboard.” I scoffed he immediatly turned to look at me a hint of guilt and embarrassment in his face but soon washed away when seeing the wine.

“Pentos?”

“The home of my colleague Illyrio Mopatis a merchant. He and I met many years ago through mutual friends. A group of people who saw Robert Baratheon for the disaster he was we tried to do what was best for the realm. By supporting the Targaryen restoration..... we have her to thank for this place.” Varys said glancing over at me. Tyrion then looked over narrowing his eyes as he examined my face.

“You’re a Sand... why would he help a bastard and dwarf?”

“Look again my friend. She’s no bastard.” Varys said a hint of a smirk on his face. Tyrion looked over at me again trying to study my features. But ended up sighing and surrendering.

“I thought you were smarter guess not..... I’m Visenya Targaryen.” There’s a moment of silence between the three of us. Tyrion’s mouth dropped and looked at Varys with wide eyes. Varys just giving a simple nod. I raised my eyebrow waiting for him to speak once more but he didn’t.

“Things have gotten worse not better. Westeros needs to be saved from itself.” Varys said walking over to where we were. We both looked at eachother as we saw Tyrion drinking wine.

“Much better.”

“That’s not such a great idea.” I told him he stood quiet ignoring my comment. I choose to stay out of their conversation letting them talk amongst themselves.

-

I walked out and Varys passing by I also spotted Tyrion standing by the railing so I decided to stand next to him.

“My lady or should I call you Princess.”

“No none of that.”

“I’m truly am sorry for your loss.” He told me. I swallowed thickly at his words as I looked over the view.

“He fought for justice for what happened to my mother and siblings. That’s all that matters now.” I let my shoulders fall and grab a wine he has. “I have you to thank for your fathers death...now I have fewer enemies then I did before.”

“Am I your enemy? Will you kill me?”

“No...My uncle liked you so I won’t kill you but give me reason and I will.” I leaned into the railing letting my arms rest on them.

“You were thought to be dead after the sacking of Kingslanding.”

“Hmm well I’m here aren’t I and soon they’ll know to.” I took one last drink before leaving his side a sly smile on my face.

-

Being in this box was hard enough. And now hearing Tyrion complain every damn time is harder. I tried so hard to ignore his whining but it was impossible.

“I need to get out of this wheelhouse.” He complained. I sighed and looked the other way trying to ignore him.

“I need to get out of this wheelhouse.” He repeated while missing with window.

“If you don’t shut up I’ll cut your tongue out of your head.” I hissed finally irritated of him. He continued messing with the window.

“You truly are a Martell alright.” He managed to say before standing up. “I will not be any use of Daenerys Targaryen If I lose my mind. I can’t remember the last face I saw wasn’t yours or hers.” I just rolled my eyes.

“We have perfectly good faces.” I said watching what he did.

“If anyone recognizes you. You’ll lose more then that.” Varys said surprisingly calm.

“We are a thousand miles from Westeros. What am I?” He said covering his face.

“An idiot?” I said earning a glare from him.

“One more drunk dwarf.” He knocked on the box signaling them to stop. Varys and both looked at eachother and took a deep breath before following him.

-

Tyrion had managed to take us to a brothel. How he managed to take us there is beyond me. I took a sniff at the wine they had served us before Tyrion clinked his cup with mine and Varys.

“The faster you are the faster we’re out of this place.” I said to Tyrion hating every bit of this place.

“It appears you’re not the only Targaryen supporters.” Tyrion said as the ‘mother of dragons’ passed by.

“Someone who inspires priests and whores is worth taking serisouly.” Varys said I just scoffed. I lifted my head once I noticed Tyrion standing up.

“Where do you think you’re going?” I asked him while Varys grabbed his wrist trying to sit him back down.

“ I need to speak someone with hair and someone who doesn’t want to murder me.” He then walked off to talk to some girl. I parted my lips about to defend myself but he was right. There was some part of me that wanted to kill him.

I rested my head on my hand while I watched carefully what Tyrion was doing just in case someone barged in here and tried to kill him.

“You seem bored I’ll show you a good time.” Someone said beside me. I didn’t even look over at him.

“You touch me and I’ll cut your cock off.” I bluntly said while not tearing my gaze from the Dwarf who was surprisingly good with the girls. The man who tried talking to me called me some word and walked off.

“That was good.” Varys complimented me.

“Thank you I try.” I said turning to look at him with a small smile. when I looked back Tyrion was heading off somewhere so I was quick on my feet and followed him I could hear Varys call my name behind me but then disappeared after a couple seconds.

“For such a little man he does manage to walk fast.” I said to myself as I turned some corner trying to look for him he was there in standing by the edge. “If you’re going to jump I won’t stop you.”

“I’m taking a piss do you really have to follow me around while I take a piss.” His back turning towards me. I was about to say something but I then felt nothing everything went black.
