House of the Dragon, ep.7

[nijigasakilove]

Perhaps the funniest bit of the episode that no one’s talking about is that now that Aegon has no dick and can’t have kids anymore, his only heir is Jaehaera, a girl. The whole point of this war. The irony is killing me

[whateverthought]

"I am Blood and Fire. Driftmark must pass to Salt and Sea."

Says the grandchild raised on Driftmark. Which twin was made Ward again? Hell, depending on when she left, how soon after her mother's death, she was in that Castle with Corlys! And when he disappeared, she was there with Rhaenys ruling! And don't get me started on how she doesn't even mention her sister!

What she should have said was, Why would I pass over the Iron Throne? Heaven Forbid she have any aspirations for herself!

[hello-nichya-here]

Did these two new episodes finally change your mind about Team Black or do you still think Aegon is a usurper?

1 - Once again, Rhaenyra could have been the worst person who has ever lived and the entire series based on Saint Aegon fighting for the throne for the good of the people, it'd STILL make him an usurper. The king named her heir and everyone swore to her. We literally see the greens plotting to dethrone her long before Viserys supposedly told Alicent he "changed his mind", and Otto, Aemond and even Aegon himself have said they don't believe Viserys ever stopped supporting Rhaenyra. It doesn't matter if I, you, or anyone else thinks they're justified in stealing her throne, that is still what it is: stealing it.

2 - Fuck off with that "finally." Disagreeing with my interpretation is one thing, being all condescendent about it is another. I like the Greens as characters even if I'm not rooting for them, but bullshit like this is why I cannot stand most of the fans. You guys are entitled as fuck.

3 - What exactly was I supposed to see in these episodes that would make me hate Team Black? Daemon being reckless, impulsive and violent in pursue of glory/proof his misguided loyalty, and thus undermining (accidentally and intentionally) the ruler he supports and cares for in his own fucked up way? I saw that in episode one when he was maiming and killing people for crimes he HEARD they commited, without checking, knowing damn well Viserys, aka his brother and King, would not approve of it.

Rhaenyra being morally dubious, and potentialy putting herself in danger by keeping that guy around? Again, I've seen that from the start of the show. Corlys and Rhaenys being more allied to them for convenience because they'll put themselves first instead of any king/queen, even one they respect? Once again, stablished early on in the previous season.

The only new informations I got were about the GREENS.

Aemond clearly having some Mommy Issues that he indulges in with his lover/whore (probably because we canonically saw that his mom is the kind to turn around and go fuck a guard after seeing her son crying because his baby boy was murdered). Aegon showing some hints of compassion/love for other people. Alicent and Cole being even MORE hypocritical than they were before (which is saying a lot).

And, of course, Otto Hightower hearing that his great-grandson was murdered in quite a brutal, cowardly way, and reacting to the news by saying they'll blame Rhaenyra for it anyway, even if they discover she was not behind it - and he'll do it by PARADING THE CHILD'S CORPSE AROUND, with the (clearly neurodivergent/mentally unwell) mother and grandmother weeping. Even though this a disgusting thing to do and, like Aegon himself said, basically dragging this murdered child through the mud like a dog. Even though this is exploting and adding to the pain of his family, that he pretends to care about.

I gotta say, I knew this guy was a piece of shit since he sold his own daughter to a creepy old man, but DAMN, I did not see that one coming. It did make Aegon firing him from being Hand of The King all the more satisfying though, even if I know this will backfire on him.

[so-what-then]

"Aegon is literally a r*pist and child abuser."

Yeah well at least he did shit and gets his hands dirty for the sake of the realm. I find him more sympathetic than his mother or sisters at this point.

Anything for YOUR raping, genocidal faves, I guess.

Rhaenyra’s side is literally no better

Not sure from what post this is coming from, but okay I guess?🤷🏿‍♀️
