#Targaryen traits

[forestcat000]

Targaryen's but their androgynous

Targaryen's but they have little spots of scales on certain parts of them

Targaryen's but with fangs

Targaryen's but they growl when they are pissed

Targaryen's but they grow extra sharp nails

Targaryen's but they think blood is delicious

Targaryen's but they love burnt meat

Targaryen's but they give love bites

Targaryen's but they also give hate bites (if it's a hate bite you're probably going to be missing a limb)

Targaryen's but they elaborately braided their hair

Targaryen's but they tie gems into their hair

Targaryen's but with traditional Valyrian piercings

Targaryen's but with traditional Valyrian makeup and markings

Targaryen's but one of their marriage traditions is to drink a cup of their spouses blood on their anniversary and on their wedding

Targaryen's are the opposite of tame and they deserve as many freaky customs and traits as possible.

It's really tiring to see, when people are having discussions about Nettles and how integral her plot is, about how wrong with would be to give Rhaena that plot while ignoring/diminishing the one she originally had, about so many of the black characters are done dirty and disrespected in comparison to their treatment in the book (though they were white in the original text) to have all these necessary conversations, only to be met with responses "Oh, It's not bad/serious, you're just complaining/making things up" or about how grateful we should be to just have these characters, as we if don't have the right to critique how they are portrayed. Like, at this point, if you don't have anything of value to add to the conversation, then just stay out of it.

Daenerys Targaryen Appreciation Week Day One - Character traits or Favorite books, chapters or moments

[daeneryseastar]

quick how shocking is it that an alicent stan is claiming that DAENERYS of all people isn’t an ‘actual mother’ and that her only children are her ‘fur babies’ and how DARE she be included in a mother’s day post?

she’s the mother of dragons (they were extinct for over a hundred years, she dreams of her hatching them by walking into a great fire, literally breastfeeds them as if they were her own), she’s ‘mhysa’ to the freedmen AND missandei, she became pregnant at 13 after being routinely raped for months and gave birth to a stillborn son. a baby she wanted so desperately, and it’s disingenuous and nasty af to reduce the bonds she’s procured with her dragons, the people she’s freed from their shackles, and her actual dead child(ren, maybe, bc she might have had a miscarriage at the end of adwd) to ‘can’t stand a fur baby bitch’ i am in your fucking walls.

i forget though, the only women deserving of sympathy in universe need to be given made up rape and abuse storylines in order for their suffering to count. not the THIRTEEN YEAR OLD who was sold into slavery, married off against her will to a 30 year old warlord, raped repeatedly to the point she wanted to die; along with being sexually exploited and physically abused by her brother, the only living family member she had left. they also need to be a white red headed woman who’s either an abusive piece of shit or a massive ungrateful xenophobe. i hope you have that same energy when a real life person loses their baby, make sure to tell them that because their kid is dead they can’t call themselves a parent anymore.

I'm glad they're making Aemond call Alicent out. She's puts Aegon on the throne and then acts naive about the consequences of it. Aemond, who got permanently disabled, has to listen to his mother defend a woman he partially blames and hates for it.

Alicent won't choose Rhaenyra over her kids, but her unwillingness to do her any harm will drive her kids away because they're the ones fighting and the ones losing something.

They're fighting this war for Alicent, for Alicent's wishes. And somehow, still, despite it all, despite all their devotion and loyalty, she would have them leave Rhaenyra (the figurehead of their enemies) unharmed.

Almost as if she's excusing and forgiving all that she's done (and didn't do, but that they still feel came from her as the leader of her fraction)

It must feel like such a slap in the face to him.

Another parent disregarding him, another parent choosing Rhaenyra over him, and this time it hurts more because it's his mother — the one person that stood up for him at Driftmark is now the one closing her eyes to the reality of the situation she got her kids in.

Blind just as Viserys once was.

Alyn being an insolent boy: 1/?

Lord Alyn might have shipped the king home aboard Lord Aethan’s Glory or Morning Tide or even Spicetown Girl, but he wanted him seen to be creeping into the city on a mouse.

I've seen many people say Alicent walking away from Aegon, as well as other scenes of her failing to comfort her kids is her "lacking empathy" or something along those lines

I've seen a lot of people say that empathy is a basic human trait, and that "anyone" would've gone to him and provided some form of comfort (e.g hugging, apologising, etc.)

NEED people to recognise that not everyone shows empathy the same way. That not everyone recieves empathy in the same way. There are many reasons to as why Alicent walked away, 1. Maybe she was worried she would only make things worse. 2. maybe she thought he preferred to be left alone.

We can see very clearly the emotions of pain on her face. She wants to help but doesn't know how, she's not really close with her children. So she doesn't know if her providing him comfort by hugging/her presence in the room with him would make things better or worse. E.g, myself- I love my friends and family dearly but sometimes when I'm grieving I need to be left alone and someone coming to talk/hug/be with me, regardless if their intention is to help, will honestly make things worse than better.

There is no one way to show empathy nor one way to receive empathy. I don't think it's fair for people to say this about Alicent when we don't know at all if it would've helped. In my opinion it's a very black and white view of something that is an extremely complex thing.

Grief isn't the same for everyone. Comfort from others isn't always the answer to grief. Grief can be shown in many forms.

It reminds me of how Helaena got a lot of hate after the b&c scene, and people saying she had no empathy/care for her children due to her reaction. Not everyone reacts the same to these things. If you would kick and scream that's valid, but people, like Helaena who would dissociate from shock and trauma are valid as well.

We're all completely different individuals, billions of us. We all experience things and show things different. Just because we may experience things differently, doesn't mean we are lacking of empathy.

In my opinion, the only people who fail to have empathy are the ones who cannot comprehend this.

Daemon to Simon Strong, an innocent man: IS THIS YOUR FAULT ??[knife to mouth for emphasis]

Daemon to Aly Rivers, obviously guilty, clearly planning to torture him more: I think something is wrong with me. Please, I need help.

I’m almost certain the portrayal of Aemond trying to murder his own brother and almost letting Rhaenys and her dragon get away because he’s busy targeting his brother (and king) is a result of his previous popularity among both sides of the fandom. I remember seeing posts after he was aged up in season one from fans hoping he’d switch sides and support Rhaenyra / team black instead and by weakening the greens from the inside that’s exactly what he’s done. Helped team black by destroying the greens, one of their dragons and their king.

Just wrote a Jacaela House of The Dragon season two fix it fic. It’s Baela focussed with some Jace pov, check it out or you hate black people idk

[lady-corrine]

The way grrm combined so many themes of queenship, motherhood, tragedy, reputation, controversy and ambition from so many historical queens in creating Rhaenyra is honestly iconic 💅

[amoratearte]

Princess Rhaenys was born on the seventh day of the seventh moon of the year, which the septons judged to be highly auspicious. Large and fierce, she had the black hair of her Baratheon mother and the pale violet eyes of her Targaryen father.

[visenyaism]

aegon conqueror crying tears of joy at rhaena’s birth because she reminded him so much of rhaenys…and then said child grew up to be a mean lesbian with dubious morals who crowned her little siblings king and queen and then left the war to go fly her dragon out to someone else’s castle for a while to find a gf
