Summary: Inspired by Keeping Up With the Kardashians, a look into the insane lives of Westeros' most elite family. It all started years ago, when Rhaenyra Targaryen and Criston Cole were young and in love. Their actions changed the course for this family forever, good or bad. Now the world belongs to Rhaenyra, and the rest are just living in it.

TW: Obvious but unconfirmed relationship, reality TV, Alicent will be great in this (minus one really bad incident), Otto Hightower is not shitty in this, will have time jumps, cursing, suggestive language, Viserys Targaryen (I feel like he should always be his own TW), men simping for their women, sexual conversations, women simping for their men

GEN 1 Pairings: PAST Rhaenyra Targaryen x Criston Cole, Laena Velaryon x Daemon Targaryen, Alicent Hightower x Viserys Targaryen, platonic spouses Rhaenyra Targaryen x Laenor Velaryon, Rhaenyra Targaryen x Harwin Strong

jacebaela scene????? in this economy????

[rhaenyras-regret]

Can we get some love for Baela and Rhaena?? They seem so ignored in the series thus far, like all the TB kids are, but them especially. Me especially, can't wait for Baela x Jace.

[lazywolfwiccan]

Lots of certain people are upset Sara Snow is confirmed to not exist

[lunasglow]

I think it’s really interesting how so many self proclaimed “Sara snow defenders” are team green. There is not enough substance to Sara Snow to like her, let alone be defensive over her as a character. Like, at this point it’s quite obvious that they’re just trying to find backhanded ways to insult Baela/to find a fault within Jace.

So many people have a lot of issues with the prospect of Jace being loyal and honorable. They probably think that if Jace cheats he’ll somehow be on the same level as the serial rapist, masochist + war criminals they slobber over.

[darklinaforever]

Let's be realistic. The only person Helaena is shipable with is Jace. If Alicent had not refused Rhaenyra's proposal, this poor girl could have been happy in her life and had a real loving family, in addition to simply a good husband.

Also, yes, I will say that besides Baela, Helaena is the only other person we can ship with Jace for me. Not this so-called Sara Snow.

I don't understand people who are offended when someone says that Sara Snow surely didn't exist. I mean, let's be real, other than Mushroom, we don't get any mention of her anywhere ! And given that the guy is known for inventing a lot of stupid things related to sex... And given that Jace's story with Sara Snow concerns so-called infidelity... Logical for us to have doubts. (Besides, it annoys me so much that Baela ended up marrying a man who cheated on her) There are only two options for me anyway. Either Sara Snow does not exist, or she exists but has not had sexual or romantic relationships with Jace at all. (Because yes, I don't believe in this so-called adventure) But in any case, it's still strange that apart from Mushroom we have no other trace of her...

Beyond that, I don't understand people who argue that Jace having an affair with Sara Snow would make him more interesting... Like, wtf ? Just say you want him to cheat on my precious Baela.

Also before the series that made the Velaryons black, I never saw so many people ship Jace with Sara Snow...

Is it a common fandom thing to always prefer a female character who has no real place in the plot and who we only hear about compared to another character who is much more active in the story ?

No because, how can anyone choose Sara Snow over Baela ?!

[ride-thedragon]

The people in the Hotd fandom will push for a romantic relationship between Jace and Cregan or Jace and Sara and, in the same breath, say that Daemon and Nettles should be platonic. Either way, they're sidelining black women in romantic narratives to center white couples.

With Jace and Cregan, somehow, we've managed to discredit mlm relationships by saying it isn't cheating or that Baela would be okay with it and allow for male friendships and mentor roles to go unfulfilled for the sake of romance.

It's funnier when you think about the people saying that Daemon and Nettles shouldn't be romantic because it would lessen the narrative between them of they are romantic or that we need more male female friendships that aren't romantic. It goes off into the tangents of a mentor mentee relationship and father daughter one as well. Then, we can't prioritize romance because of Rhaenyra and Daemon's relationship.

See why I'm having a hard time believing y'all care about them? A lot of you would rather these men stay and regress in these relationships than establish them in character building relationships with black women.

We prioritize friendships between people who take baths together but not with men who want to marry their kids to each other and make blood pacts to keep that promise.

With Sara as well, in the show timeline, Jace is 2 days into his engagement with Baela, a role which he prioritized immediately after it was announced. So, about a month into it, he's just stepping away? During a war, when he knows those marriages just secured house Velayron?

His biggest characterization is his insecurity about his bastardy. Would he go out of his way to get with one and then marry her? Making her his queen?

Not when, Mr. Dragons recognize blood, not titles with his dragonseed plan, makes a huge mistake and miscalculation with giving peasants dragons, I think he makes enough mistakes in his life, for me at least.

I don't see how adding Sara romantically adds anything at all, other than a romance that doesn't play into anything later on.

I want to add that it does add to these women and their characters to be in these relationships and actively participate in them.

Baela is going out of her way to push for her and Jace to be married even after seeing her parents' marriage and subsequently their parents' marriage. Choosing to be with the boy who, without hesitation, stood up and fought for her twice against his uncles.

Nettles being called ugly through the narrative, always alluded to be in compromising positions all throughout her life and whose sexual relationships are often treated as a bartering system to gain something, being with a Targaryen prince who prioritizes her happiness and safety. Someone who goes out of their way to be at her side after very traumatic events .

(If you feel the need to explain, go ahead, but it doesn't make sense to me for his character or the timeline in the show. )

I just would like to say it's strange behavior to go out of your way to justify taking relationships and character developments away from black characters for the sake of white ships.

Me to you guys because criticism is often read as condemnation here, and I'm very immature when responding to it now.

[sophiemariepl]

Perhaps I’m gonna sound a little bit too cruel, but I wonder how will all the fans of Jace x Baela ship react when they see that Jace will cheat on Baela at first available opportunity.

Because regardless of whether this will occur with Sara Snow or Cregan Stark, it will happen.

[agentrouka-blog]

Hi! Do you think we'll have Sara Snow on the show? I don't know, a lot of people don't like the character and ship Jace and Baela. Well anyway, I hope they don't transfer the hate on the character to the actress. But if we have her on the show, how do you think her relationship with Jace will be? And how do you think she is? I picture her as a redhead but it would be cool if she was like Lyanna.

If you put down the shipping goggles and take a glance at the source material, it's kind of obvious that the Sara Snow thing is potentially the only interesting thing that Jace as a character has going for him. The only thing that contains real conflict that isn't just an extension of his mother.

It represents conflict with Rhaenyra - specifically by doing what she herself has done - flaunt the rules for her own benefit and comfort - and by doing what she herself could not do - which is live the very first little dream she had beneath the heart tree with her sweet friend Alicent.

What's more of a mother-son parallel than an escapist fantasy in the godswood with an "unspecial" version of himself: A bastard who actually lives the reality of being a bastard, unlike Jace himself, who is a bastard posing as a prince. Like his mother Rhaenyra, who is a woman with a kind of freedom and power no other woman is allowed to have, based solely on her status as the dragonriding Targaryen princess and heir to the throne. An exception. Sara is the Alicent to Jace's Rhaenyra.

Sara confronting Jace with his own duplicity, his hypocritical position - escaping the confines of his birth by virtue of a lie, not changing the rules, simply circumventing them - Sara could represent a real emotional challenge to him and his self-image. He's a Targaryen - but is that really all that matters? What does Jace want that isn't tied to this lie of his parentage? I expect his identity crisis there to carry a parallel to Robb and Talisa/Jeyne in it. Escapist, reckless, honorable - and fleeting.

As for shipping Baela and Jace - the Strong bastards boys are literally stealing her birthright. It's not my cup of tea, honestly. Ship and let ship, but we shouldn't pretend that some kind of great love story is being sacrificed here, as opposed to Baela deserving better than that guy, who may gallantly dance with Helaena where it costs him nothing, but doesn't have the guts to question actual injustice when it comes to his own betrothed.

“You promised me Jace, that you weren't going to be like my father” Rhaena had a blank stare, she was holding back from crying, and so she wasn't looking at him, for the first time he felt something in her chest, fuck, she was Rhae, they had grown up together, and he was being a jerk to her “Was it true what you told me? Your promise” Jacaerys turned away from her, to lean against the wall, adverse looking at her face. It wasn't true to his word, even on their wedding day he was planning how to escape with Sara.

“I'm sorry…” it was then that she looked at him, wiping away the tears that were running down her face. “I want her to leave, today of the fortress” Jace denied, he could accept many things, but not this

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON AU: (thought dump for a fic that I'll try to start)

I suddenly remembered a post I saw before stating that Lucerys Velaryon = Prince Eric.

Well

Fancast: Jonah Hauer-King as older Lucerys Velaryon (growing up to be the Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark). Able to pass off as a Velaryon since Laenor (before leaving) claimed that his children got Rhaenys' Baratheon genes instead of the Velaryon genes. Married Princess Rhaena Targaryen. In this story Rhaenys will have the Baratheon hair as she should have had.

Another branch timeline could see him as King of the Seven Kingdoms if Rhaenyra would be forced to disinherit Jacaerys for marrying Sara Snow instead of Baela. Corlys and Rhaenys would be fuming at the betrayal and Rhaenyra would be adviced to please them.

Hints of lucemond: Aemond/Fem!Aemond would be incredibly jealous since holy crap lucerys is a full course meal with a bonus Driftmark or literally the Seven Kingdoms and would regret choosing 4th child Floris/Male!Floris Baratheon over his/her nephew when he/she had the chance.

If HOTD make Sara Snow canon, I’m suing their asses.
