Hi! I love your ASOIAF AU where all the adult dragons survive but no new eggs are hatched! Out of curiosity, who do you think the generations after the ones you mentioned in your AU would claim? For some reason, I can see Aegon V riding Morning idk

(Headcanon that Silverwing would go missing after Dany of Dorne dies since her mate Vermithor is dead.)

Valarr: Stormcloud - I just think it fits decently, he had to watch his father get killed by an uncle the way Aegon III watched Rhaenyra die.

Matarys: Morning - Morning & Stormcloud were last flow by a pair of siblings as well.

Aelor: Shrykos - This just feels right

Aelora: Morghul - Jaehaera Targaryen's reincarnation

Daeron: Dreamfyre - He's a dragondreamer so I think she'd be a good fit for him

Aerion: Sunfyre - It was his daddy's and it's shiny

Daenora: Sunfyre - Her psycho husband was destined to die sooner or later. She deserves a good widowed life & a pretty dragon

Aemon: NONE - He's a Maester.

Aegon V: Tessarion - She's destined for lovable Targ men with one fatal flaw & I will die on that hill

Duncan: Morning - He's flying the princess of his heart Jenny around on a pretty pink barbie dragon

Jaehaerys II: NONE - Would fail to claim one because he's both weak & a loser

Shaera: NONE - I don't see her having one. She's on the same level as her husband

Daeron: Sunfyre - It's the only option at this point + He deserves something cool. (I headcanon Jae 2 wanted to claim Sunfyre but Daeron got it first & Jae 2 was bitter)

Rhaelle: Stormcloud - Too fitting for the Lady of Storm's End

Aerys II: Sunfyre - Would claim it after Uncle Daeron's death

Rhaella: Dreamfyre - Except she's too big & old like Balerion. Completely lost her fighting spirit & burnt out, Rhaella barely got to ride her

Rhaegar: Stormcloud - Stormcloud flew straight back to Targ property after Rhaelle died, little Robert secretly desired to claim him but he was claimed by Rhaegar instead

Viserys III: NONE - Unfortunately for him, all dragons are out of commission somehow

[heireign]

the fact rhaenyra’s an enduring cautionary tale is so genuinely tragic

[starry-eyer]

god tywin lannister deserved worse

just remembering elias death and i wanna puke and the way tywin talks about elia and what happened is so damn gross

but rip tommen and myrcella we all know what’s about to happen in the next book :/

the cycle of violence just keeps spinning and damn you tywin for beginning it

(i got a bit crazy in the tags 💀)

[targaryenssurvive]

My Targaryen family height chart. Before we proceed, I feel that I must mention that I headcanon most of the Targaryens of being short and most of the Martells as being very tall (except Arianne)

Aerys: 5'3

Rhaella: 5'4

Rhaegar: 5'3

Viserys: 5'2

Daenerys: 5'1

Elia: 5'9

Rhaenys: 6'2

Aegon: 6'0

Aemon/Jon: unpopular opinion, 5'0. I always picture Jon as really short.

Rhaenys, Aegon and Elia are giants in this family.

Bonus, Lyanna: 5'4.

[allyriadayne]

i understand aegon and viserys's existence is a threat to jace just based on the fact they're legitimitet and he isn't but i find all the discourse around the fandom about there inevitably being a succession war/crisis between them a bit silly since we know aegon and viserys weren't interested in being king. aegon was famously a very reluctant king only getting the throne as a child because there was literally nobody else and viserys was perfectly content rulling as hand without the title. i'm just not getting usurper vibes from them either in a scenario where jace succeeds rhaenyra after a peaceful reign or in a jace survives the dance scenario. the next generation after them however is a different disscusion.

i agree with you. it doesn't seen likely aegon and viserys would raise banners to usurp jace, esp in an scenario where they are the only surviving sons of rhaenyra after the dance. if anything it'll make them closer. i also think jace seeing all the threats to his crown would do something to curtail the influence his brothers might have in court, he can trust /them/ but not greedy advisors whispering in their ears. it's honestly a tricky situation where there is no winner because he either forces his brothers into celibate orders or insults them by marrying them into very minor houses without much power. and /those/ children will be assimilated into the main line asap.

and the next generation....assuming viserys marries larra and has aegon/naerys/aemon. tricky! esp if you consider the theory 4egon poisoned viserys and that the rogares might want more control and influence in court.

[forestcat000]

Oh my God, I want to ramble about my game of thrones fic so much, I want to show it to someone, I want to talk about ideas about it, but I have no friends who are got fans and my parents are fans of it but I talk their ears off about it constantly and they're getting tired of it 😢.

Would anyone who follows me be interested if I put some of my fic or just rambles about it here?

[forestcat222]

Jon and Aegon used to share a crib in 'all the Targaryen's survive AU'. They shared blankets, pillows, stuffed animals and a crib egg.

In my AU, while all the dragon eggs are stone, the Targaryen's never stopped giving the kids crib eggs.

All my current Targaryen's have them, they just don't keep them out in the open.

Aerys and Rhaellas eggs are both hidden in a secret compartment in their room because Aerys was paranoid about them being stolen

Rhaegars egg is in his study

Viserys egg is attached to the chandelier in his room (he's a bit dramatic.)

Daenerys egg was sewn into one of her stuffed animals, she sleeps with it

Rhaenys egg is in a chest in her room, it's wrapped in several silk blankets

Aegon keeps his and Jon's egg in Aegons closet. Jon and Aegon used to take turns taking care of the egg when they were little but Aerys banned Jon from touching the dragon eggs and he got scared, now the egg stays in Aegons room.

The Royal Families of The Seven Kingdoms: Part 4

By Jota Saraiva

[clowndensation]

i like the asoiaf series, and grrm as a writer in general, and fire and blood IS interesting. however. i kinda just want to know what rhaenyra has going on. why are the rhaenyra chapters 450 pages into this book. it's like grrm didn't even consider that she's literally being played by emma d'arcy.

[jonsnowunemploymentera]

We don’t appreciate enough how GRRM made House Targaryen the poster children for his de/reconstruction of the fantasy chosen family trope, and we don’t appreciate how Jon and Dany are the main lens through which he does that. House Targaryen is fantasy on steroids—magic swords, magic look, magic lineage, perhaps the most magic pet one could have in the genre, and a magic destiny that’s specific to them and only them. There’s a foretold magical conflict and its main hero (as many would think), “the prince that was promised”, specifically has to be a Targaryen. This House’s history is so rich, but from a genre perspective, it is Aerys II’s reign and Robert’s Rebellion that’s the most interesting to analyze. Aerys isn’t special himself, but he is to sire the future savior of the world. Then Rhaegar is born and tragic as they are, all the signs point to him being the promised messiah. And Rhaegar becomes THE fantasy hero on steroids. He’s the perfect heir to House Targaryen’s legacy because not only is he to be the best of them, and many think he would have been had he lived, but he is the most perfect manifestation of House Targaryen as the personification of fantasy. There’s absolutely a point to him living and dying as the heir, the inheritor, the eternal symbol of what could have been of the Targaryen’s old glory.

Part of Rhaegar’s legacy extends to his son Aegon. Aegon had everything Rhaegar didn’t. A comet was seen at his conception—and this is an most important herald for the chosen one. So he is given a song, “the song of ice and fire”, and a king’s name to match his status as the new messiah. He didn’t live long but he inherited Rhaegar’s look in his youth too; the fantasy protagonist look. But Aegon died before he could be the hero.

You see Jon and Dany as chosen ones only works so well because of their House’s history, especially as (anti)parallels to Rhaegar and Aegon. They are the unexpected inheritors and challengers to their house’s legacy but in different ways.

Dany is the most immediate and obvious heir. There’s a beauty to her being the last of them and thus, the one bearing the entire house’s legacy. Dany is THE Targaryen. And in being that, she becomes THE hero. She’s got the hero’s look, the hero’s magic and destiny, and better yet, she got the hero’s sword and pet all in one. And, she’s legitimate! She is House Targaryen. But there’s a problem….shes a girl. And we all know House Targaryen’s history with girls.

Maester Aemon’s “no one ever looked for a girl” is quickly becoming my favorite Dany-related quote because it pretty much encapsulates her entire arc, especially as an inheritor to her house’s legacy. The hero they died knowing and expecting was the boy: first Rhaegar, then Aegon. But father and son are dead. Yet Daenerys lives. She inherits everything else they did and more! The Targaryens tried and failed to bring dragons back, but it was Dany who ultimately did it.

Now, Jon is Dany but flipped. From a meta point of view, he’s more fantasy protagonist than she is. He’s a boy, he’s got a big magic sword that he can swing about, and he’s perhaps fantasy’s most prolific trope in action—the magical hidden prince. But within this story, GRRM flips these two characters. Jon’s fantasy protag-ness doesn’t go away, it just morphs into something else. Unlike Dany, he may be a boy and he may have a sword, but he lacks literally everything else. He doesn’t have the look, his magic powers are from his other family, so is his magic pet, and his magic destiny has thus far developed outside his immediate association with House Targaryen. Dany is “what if Rhaegar was a girl?”, but we can’t even begin to ask these types of questions with Jon because there’s so much that precludes him from the fantasy hero role in story. He’s Rhaegar’s heir…but he doesn’t look like him…and he’s not even legitimate. So what do we do now?

GRRM destroyed his fantasy protag house and decided to build up again from the ground up, but did so by challenging the two most critical points—primogeniture and exceptionalism. With Dany, he makes a girl the Targaryen’s outward successor. This works really well because the Targaryens have a history of denying their female heirs. But now what’s left of them is a girl, and she is literally everything they could have hoped for. And she is a a reflection of her house, but her arc has at many times seen her be the antithesis of her ancestors. And I can’t help but think of the oncoming meta-textual showdown between her and Young Griff. On the surface Young Griff, a boy, is the preferred heir. But Dany is, in truth, the one.

Jon is interesting because, in my view, he challenges the Targaryen idea of exceptionalism. He’s easily the fantasy protagonist from the outside looking in. But he doesn’t have the Targaryen name, nor does he have the look. He has the blood, but what makes him special is that it is mixed with the other major fantasy protagonist house’s blood—he’s special in that he’s a hybrid. And this is interesting because if Aegon conquered the seven kingdoms because of a prophecy regarding him or one of his princely descendants, it’s quite the twist to have this messiah not even be a Targaryen prince (not in name anyway). That’s why all the hand wringing around “is Jon legitimate?” or “no one cares because he doesn’t look like Rhaegar” really isn’t the point. The point is for Jon to be the manifestation of the hero—the king—outside of that narrow framework. And if he succeeds, then GRRM would absolutely still be subverting prophecy and genre conventions.

There’s something to Jon and Dany being born as or after House Targaryen falls. House Targaryen has no crown, no throne, and their prophetic mandate has been usurped. But GRRM is so attached to them, and he certainly wants to rebuild them and hold fantasy to account. But to do so, everything we know about the Targaryens, everything the Targaryens knew about themselves, has to be challenged and put to the test by the personifications of all that a Targaryen hero couldn’t be: a girl, and a bastard.

hiii, could you elaborate on jaime's relationship with tywin in the books? and how tywin's introduction in the show diverges from that? 🥺👉👈

lol because that scene never happens in the books?

because nothing like it really happens in the books?

lmao, because, the first time we see any real sign of tywin and jaime’s relationship it’s tywin saying ‘tyrion, why do you suck while jaime is a god?’

it’s such a disservice to tyrion and cersei to pretend that jaime doesn’t have tywin’s approval, or perhaps even admiration.

unlike that weird season 1 deer scene, in the books tywin doesn’t blame jaime for being in the kingsguard. that’s aerys’s fault as far as tywin knows. after all, if tywin himself couldn’t prevent it, how could jaime? (sure we know better, but tywin doesn’t.)

and do you think tywin isn’t proud of jaime for killing aerys? do you think tywin wasn’t thinking ‘that’s my boy’ after the sack of king’s landing? that shit was right in tywin’s wheelhouse.

and then there’s the one interaction we see between jaime and tywin. jaime walks in knowing what he’s facing with twyin vs tyrion. that’s because jaime has always had tywin’s number in a way cersei and tyrion never did. why? because jaime has seen what tywin is capable of and he doesn’t like it. jaime quite literally takes tyrion’s kidnapping in agot into his own hands because he doesn’t trust tywin to look out for tyrion. as he’s on his way back to king’s landing in asos he thinks about just what he’s actually worth to his father and how much that calculation has taken a hit now that he’s short a hand.

so when tywin asks jaime to give up the kingsguard, does jaime hang his head and scuff his toe like his show counterpart? lmao. this is the difference in privilege between jaime and his siblings. jaime immediately says: noooo. and means it. not only means it, but from that moment starts plotting against tywin and cersei to save tyrion.

we see this reinforced when cersei begs jaime to save her from tywin’s machinations to marry her off again and he’s like, lol, tell that bitch no. to jaime it’s a very simple, very accomplishable thing if you don’t give a shit about tywin’s disapproval.

because jaime’s been walking away from tywin since he was a kid.

the only moment jaime even wavers in that interaction with his dad is when tywin disowns him. lol and that is not about approval. it’s because all jaime wants in the world is love, and up to this point love was a thing that existed exclusively in the realm of his family.

and lest there be any doubt, i ask you, who breaks first? the last real thing jaime hears from his father is a message sent through kevan. a peace offering, in the form of oathkeeper. here it is, son, the valyrian steel i’ve been trying to reclaim for the fam for years. it’s yours. you’re my boy.

and what does jaime do with tywin’s sword? lmao. i ask you. what does jaime do with tywin’s sword?

see, book!jaime’s story with tywin is not about tywin’s disapproval of jaime. it’s about jaime’s disapproval of tywin. it’s embedded in his chapters. it’s embedded in his character. everything about jaime’s latent lust for honor is a repudiation of twyin’s ethos.

he disapproves of tywin’s use of gregor clegane and amory lorch. he disapproves of tywin’s orders to kill aegon and rhaenys. any lack of understanding of tywin’s nature is destroyed by the tysha incident, which appalls jaime.

he isn’t looking for tywin’s approval. all he ever wanted was tywin’s love.

all of this is reinforced in feast. it’s everywhere in jaime’s vigil for tywin as he tries to do his duty but can’t cough up a single tear and even chucks the appearance of grief out the window when his living breathing son, who he definitely feels late breaking affection for, needs him. it’s when he looks around the realm and goes oh shit, this would have been tywin’s problem but now it’s mine and uses tywin’s reputation to accomplish his goals without actually employing tywin’s monstrous ruthlessness.

but mostly we know the whole show concept that jaime’s just always been trying to earn tywin’s approval is bullshit as far as book!jaime is concerned, because we’ve read jaime’s chapters and we know the truth.

it’s joanna’s disapproval that literally haunts jaime. not tywin’s.
