HOTD S2E8 LEAKS!!!

[prideprejudce]

the hotd fandom complaining that the series is moving "too slow" for their instant gratification media shot brains is ironic to an almost hilarious degree. it's like the final monkeys paw curling inward as we slowly lead ourselves down the same path that gave us season 8 of game of thrones

Sometimes when I’m watching HotD I’m hit by the magnitude of everything Daenerys did ALL ALONE and I’m back to being pissed off at GoT…

The Prince that was Promised

[thestarlightforge]

Game of Thrones ended in a seemingly endless series of nauseating disasters we can never unsee or truly reverse, and Rhaenyra is a MESS (/affectionate) who will almost certainly die a violent, horrible death.

But (in the show canon anyway):

Daenerys Stormborn—the first of her name, the breaker of chains, queen of the andals and the first men, khaleesi of the great grass sea, the girl who saved the world (no matter what character assassination came afterwards), the unburnt and the mother of dragons—is the princess who was promised. Azor Ahai returned.

And her direct forebear—though the full truths of Rhaenyra’s identity & sexuality were lost to the histories (i.e. Fire & Blood), as happens so often (& HOTD comments on)—is a powerful, imperfect, caring, messy, orange-cat-energy, fierce, amazingly complex queer person, the largest strokes of whose life centered the love of several women.

Daenerys gets to go down in queer history—both in-universe and in our real life popular culture—with the branch of House Targaryen full of black people, queer people, and awesome women riding dragons.

After S8, I didn’t think I could ever love these shows the same again. But House of the Dragon has captured my heart. ❤️

The only S3 opening I accept is Izzy literally clawing out of the grave, yelling: 'None of you absolute TWATS bothered to check for a pulse??'

In a show where every tiny movement has 26280 meanings and possible interpretations, I refuse to believe that this death has absolutely none.

And I also hope after crawling out, his first half conscious journey is into Ed's and Stede's inn, sending both into a cardiac arrest

I love how Fire and Blood shows time and time again how Targaryen women are passed over, usurped, abused, killed, raped, and slandered, all building to Daenerys, a Targaryen woman who rises to great power while seeking justice and salvation for all those crushed beneath the oppressive systems of her world... just to be usurped and killed so that we can place a man on the throne again.

People need to stop acting like Jon Snow is the Prince that was promised or even has anything to do w/ the song of ice and fire! Several Targaryens before and after Daemon had visions of Daenerys!

The author himself confirmed it!

All Jon did during the long night was yell at an undead dragon! He was useless!

FF7 but its co-written by Geroge RR Martin

Everyone is crusty and mean to each other, they have a crazy orgy in order to resolve the shipping wars, Sephiroth gets killed off in the most disappointing way possible, and then everyone dies.

Also uhh... *flips notes* Denzel is the ruler of Midgar now. I guess.

Honestly? Still kinda ticked Gendrya didn't end up together and that all the surviving Stark children were BY THEMSELVES at the end of the series even the whole point of their story was their love for their family and wanting to find their way back to eachother

House of the dragon Season 2 Episode 8 Trailer

[water-your-plance]

And if I said I liked him even from season one?

[livingfandomly]

Imagine the gravity of the events of HotD if we knew that it was all so Dany could end up on the throne?? Alllll the dominoes, centuries of history, ending with Daenerys fucking Targaryen on the throne. It would make HotD sooooo much more crucial instead of… pointless.

DAENERYS TARGARYEN IS THE PRINCE THAT WAS PROMISED. NOT JON SNOW. This better not come up in this fandom ever again

[southernmotherofdragons]

Hello everyone watching Game of Thrones again or for the first time! I’m your guide to things that aren’t clear.

The Prophecy mentioned in House of the Dragon:

Aegon's prophecy was that he saw a darkness that would destroy humanity, and only a united Westeros under Targaryen rule would stop it.

Why it doesn’t matter in the end:

1. Westeros was under Lannister rule (Cersei)

2. A Stark ended the Night King (Arya)
