#and anyway! the royal bloodline extends via rhaenyra! they’re still targaryens and still royal!

so unfair that none of rhaenyra’s first three kids have white hair. alicent has dark hair and somehow all of her kids turned out blond, like come on, how did none of rhaenyra’s?? they also have one light-haired and one dark-haired parent, and as to laenor being darker skinned i knew a guy at uni with one black grandparent (just like laenor’s theoretical kids with rhaenyra would have) and he was as pasty as i am! the only way you could ‘tell’ was that he had really curly hair! i know this is a show and i know this is meant to spark narrative conflict but i didn’t draw all those god-damn punnet squares for alicent’s trio of weirdos to all be blond!
