#i've decided sunfyre loves children

[lemonhemlock]

Thoughts on babygirl sunfyre?

the most beautiful dragon in the whole wide world, the goodest, bestest boye!!! the most capable of love!! aegon and sunfyre's bond defies time, space, the laws of gravity, common sense, any and all adversity!!

i have this mental image of sunfyre having the personality of an over-eager fox. this headcanon that the dragonkeepers love him the most because he is a sweetheart!! sunfyre is personable and charming and easy to underestimate as a wacky airhead, until aegon is in danger and he becomes terrifying. has the highest dragon kill count. will fly with a busted wing. will eat other dragons if he has to. will find aegon, will get to him no matter what and will. not. die. until mean rhaenyra gets her due for upsetting his boy!!!

this idea of sunfyre being the representation of everything aegon would be without all the trauma: funky, fun-loving, charming, mischievous, with so much love to give & begging for hugs!! frightening when necessary, rises up to the occasion every time, tenacious in achieving his goals, enduring!!

i like to imagine him liking people even when he is hurt & begging them for little scraps of food & affection so he grows back strong & can finally reunite with his little egg 😭 most of this answer is headcanon ramblings but sunfyre CAN and SHOULD be the BEST DRAGON EVER. awful creatures that should never have existed in the first place, but when sunfyre dies, it's supposed to be a TRAGEDY regardless. sunfyre as a symbol for a horrible beast with the capacity for greatness, for goodness, for overcoming their programming, for being more than an awful weapon of destruction, for LOVE!

in the final part of this post, i tried to imagine a scenario in which dragon-keepers suffered a reduction in personnel as a result of rhaenys' escape and aegon had to go down to the dragonpit and take care of sunfyre himself, feed him, clean out his stables, play with him etc. the potential for cuteness is beyond. bonus points if aegon uses the kylie jenner "stormi baby" voice on him

extra bonus points the people of king's landing love sunfyre because he is such a merry little fellow & would never hurt them, not like mean old meleys 😎

I like Aemond but damn he was so inept like it's soo funny . He ends smooshing his brother with his Godzilla dragon, maiming his King and one of their few dragons. If he had killed Aegon or sunfyre , he would had cost the Greens the war.

Manages to LOSE THE FUCKING CAPITAL and if not for Larys smuggling out Aegon would had cost the Greens the war again.

Decides to genocide a entire noble House which was TEAM GREEN because they were related to the Velaryon boys, possibly getting Aegon poisoned down the line(Larys wanting revenge for the doom of his House is what makes sense about him killing Aegon)

Spending his time committing war crimes that will come back to bite his brother and his mother´s asses after Rhaenyra´s death.

Let Daeron and Criston die because.......reasons? Yeah but don't forget he study the blade and the philosophy lmaaooo he is so unserious

Nonnie, I honestly never thought of this way...Aemond messes up so badly during the war. But it's more the character or the contrived plot since GRRM wanted Daemon to die in the battle of gods eye? But you're right, he messed up way too much, can't take him seriously.

aemonds whitewashing makes me want to rip my hair out cause of them planning to erase daeron and probably give his arc to aemond and the absolute destruction of argon’s character… don’t get me started

Oh trust me, I've ranted about this way too much as well.

i hope aegon doesnt build aemond thst statue after how he treated him when he wanted to run away lmao

me seeing that happening because Ryan loves Aemond for some reason:

Of course they had to make Aemond involved somehow 🙄 as if these are not Aegon's children that Aegon will torture Blood and then get revenge for them later. At this point Aemond is Ryan's self-insert it's so ridiculous how he needs to involved him in every plot.

Ryan is literally self-inserting himself into Aemond so don't be surprised if he made the entire story about him

It makes A LOT of sense if that's what he's doing and explains so much of the writing choices. 💀

Don't be surprised if Ryan made b&c about Aemond (there is a reason why he made Aemond's intentional kill an accident) he will made rock's rest about Aemond as well, not mention that Aemond will become prince regent and Ryan will force Aemond in every scene even when there is no need to that, I like Aemond but let's be real other characters deserves to shine not just Aemond

Nonnie, you're making me a doomer ngl:

Greenis who think that Aemond of all people would be a good ruler are delusional. Only Jace and Daeron are capable of becoming good rulers

I mean, can we blame them? They believed what Ryan made Aemond say in ep. 9...the fucking CRINGE

I love how lazy Ryan and co were to the point they couldn't write anything for Aegon ii so they decided to copy the personality of Aegon iv (one of the most boring targaryen ever) and start pretending that they have created a complex and grey character who rapes maiden in the morning and watch wwe kids in the night, extremely unserious. If they wanted to copy the personality of a bad/tyrannical targ at least they should have picked someone interesting like Maegor or Visenya

WWE KIDS PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

But you're so right, Aegon IV is just so boring and copying his personality is so dumb...if the Blackfyre Rebellions ever get adapted how are they're gonna make Aegon IV?! A guy good who's misunderstood? So unserious.

Aemond's line was probably a lazy set up for the plot of Aemond becoming prince regent

We shouldn't be surprised, the writers have the subtlety of a bull in a china shop.

I love Aemond but there is no denying that he is extremely dark and he will get darker in future seasons, why can't his hardcore stans accept that and stop assaulting anyone who dislikes him or admits that he is a dark character? Like where is the fun liking wholesome uwu characters all the time? Aemond is interesting in this way and there is no fun in pretending that he something he is not (that he's some uwu kindhearted soul)

I think it comes from the fact that people don't want to like a dark character, they might think that somehow it reflects badly on them.

It doesn't btw!!!!!

should’ve had the baratheon girl tell aemond that luke cut his balls off instead of his eye which she humbled his ass ngl but that would make aemond seem like a crybaby for a statement like that and we can’t have mr. i should be king doing dumb shit like that

I'd love to see Maris (I think that it was her) being bitchy, I love bitchy characters!!!!!!

I honestly think it would make him look the impulsive character that he is.

aemond is a massive dick in the books idk why they portrayed him in such a positive light if anything that’s daeron and lord knows were never getting him at this point and aegon is an ass but nevertheless a smart one and a strong one with a decent relationship but no anyways i’ll shout it from the rooftops #justiceforphiaandtom

Same, Nonnie. I kinda liked him before the war, he was just the kind of friend that all of us have, and need sometimes, that says what everyone is thinking.

I NEED MY BABY DAERON. 🥲

Sorry to Ryan but Aemond talks,walks, and looks as an anime villain so it's really hard for me to take him seriously especially after his oopsie daisy in ep10 after he chased luke while laughing maniacally

I think it's something like: It doesn't matter if it was an accident it's done kind of thing BUT having him lose control of Vhagar made him look very goofy.

But yeah, he didn't need to laugh like an anime villain.

You are so right, Helaena is barely a character and if the rumors are true she will only be there to be a catalyst for Aemond arc.

Hopefully is not true, but I'm not hopeful at all, Nonnie.

Idc how unpopular this opinion is, but Helaena deserves much more than to be a mere plot device to give some development to Aemond, i don't want her to die early on and for her death to be the beginning of Aemond's man pain arc, it's the fault of the showrunners who whitewashed him too much and tried to merge Daeron's personality with him, if they want him to catch up with his book counterpart there are plenty of ways to do that WITHOUT sacrificing a female character for him. If they did that they have no right to claim they're progressive and feminists

I'll riot if they make Helaena's character about Aemond, THIS ISN'T ABOUT AEMOND!!!!!!!

But Nonnie, they're not feminists nor progressives...we need to realise that, they only say that to avoid criticism and it works.

I love how the mass genocider Aemond who enslaved a woman and most likely raped her is a feminist Marxist and his mommy's little criminal while Rhaenyra and Daenerys are mad queens who deserve to die horribly. We love when misogyny prevail <3

I mean, making excuses for disgusting men and hating teenage girls for being kids is VERY on brand for the ASOIAF fandom.

I love how in the book Aemond was the worst of all of his siblings, now the show is pretending that he is Jaeherys reborn again after they cut Daeron, made Aegon a mustache-twirling villain and never give Helaena any personality whatsoever

Every time I think about the butchering of helaegon and my baby Daeron:

the merging of characters was the dumbest thing ever like daeron and aemond? who was gonna burn bitterbridge ? aemond?? while he’s making stupid decisions in the riverlands ?? god where is daeron they refuse to announce his casting

WHERE THE FUCK IS DAERON, HBO?! WHERE?!

Imagine the incompetent showrunners Thinking that the lunatic mass murder who killed small children just because they have strong blood in them and enslaved a woman and possibly raped her as he has taken her as his *war prize* and who is a disgusting misogynistic as well would be a better grey&complex character than Aegon who took the crown only to protect his family and Daeron who was the most popular kindest son of Alicent lmao sheer stupidity

Nonnie, the Daeron is erasure was PERSONAL!!!!! I hate it here and HotD was a mistake.

It's so hilarious that every male character needs to be either get assassinated or get cut (applied to both teams) just to make Aemond shine.... (even Daemon get the worse interpretation of his character lmao) I wonder what this says about the quality of Aemond's character and the Showrunners's confidence in making him a "relatable" character. It's a curios decision especially when you consider what Aemond will do in the future

Makes you wonder how they'll handle his arc moving forward...maybe change it completely, he won't commit any war crimes 💀

The most unserious scene will be that Battle above God’s Eye scene and the leading up to it and knowing the two fan favorites go out at the same time and I know they are waiting until the damn series finale for that and are going to rush Rhaenyra’s death cause they hate Aegon or have Alicent poison Aegon cause she loves Rhaenyra so much or even sacrifice herself for Rhaenyra. They’ll probably have Aemond’s head be cut of cause it’s Daemon like where’s my stupid Aemond who literally was the second worst decision maker in the dance behind daemyra who deserve to be together at the number one spot.

The erasure of Aegon as a character is my villain origin story!!! Can't wait for the most unserious scene in TV history.

Fun fact: the majority (especially non book readers) hate Aemond, so obviously they're not shipping him with anyone and the majority of who want Helaemond to become canon are wanting that out of hatred for Alicent since Helaena's children being bastards will make Alicent super hypocrite. So they don't care about Helaena's "happiness" (yeah she will be happy with the brother who caused the death of her children and her ultimate suffering and death lmao) they only care about Rhaenyra being on the absolute right and Alicent being nothing but a raging misogynistic and a hypocrite so they don't care about any nuance

The amount of Tik Tok comments and creators wanting the kids to be Aemond's just make Alicent look dumb is huge, and as a helaegon is sad to see.

So according to GRRM logic aemond is bastardphobic but takes a bastard to bed and gets her pregnant? Not ONE person says this could be because of magic but out of true love like y’all saw Melisandre in season 2 with how strange she was at Harrenhal? I’d assume she would be more like her because Ryan needs the constant comparisons 💁‍♀️

Since Ryan is trying to be GoT 2.0, it wouldn't surprise me if we get Melisandre 2.0 in HotD.

Cant wait for the battle above Gods Eye to be so unserious while pregnant alys is right there 😭

It's going to be so fucking unserious, I laughed the first time I read a 50 year old man jumping from his dragon and killing his 20 year old nephew. 💀

Never forget Aemond is bastardphobic but sleeps with a bastard GRRM is so unserious 😭

Especially a bastard from the SAME FAMILY of the bastards he hates!!!!!

Of course only Aemond is going to get his Daenerys Targaryen moment in the Riverlands and not Daeron and what happened at Bitterbridge because the writers hate Daeron and instead gave every character trait to Aemond probably making him regret what happened in the Riverlands after he burns it instead of giving that humanizing moment to Aemond. The worst part is he probably would’ve been a fan favorite had the included him in the first season. This is all coming from an show!aemond girlie

It was probably the dumbest thing HotD has ever made, ngl.

Team black here, and I got to say I've seen your and your anons criticism about Ryan's favoritism and to be honest I agree but it's not just about how Aegon is written compared to how Aemond is written, it's also about how all the young characters are written compares to Aemond Jace,luke,baela and rhaena all have been vilified by Ryan for the sake of giving a poor me sob story for Aemond. Rhaena and Baela weren't in the fight in the book, and Jace and luke have been turned into bullies and not only that, Jace canonical talents and skills with the sword, being studious and worthy of being the next ruler (after rhaenyra) the maesters said something similar to Jace proved himself to be worthy of being the prince of the iron throne all of it have been taken away and given to Aemond in show. Jace and luke could care less about Aemond's stupid toast in the book and the fight was between Aegon and Jace because of Helaena. Ryan made them instead get angry because of Aemond's speech not to mention he made Jace who has been described as tall and strong just like Harwin to gets pushed down into the ground by Aemond whose greatest achievement as a fighter is killing some random 80yr man. Luke whose mother is a valeryian supremacist can't even speak valeryian properly while Aemond can lmaoo. Not to mention that Laena used to have a scene while she claims Vhaegar as a brave 12yr girl but Ryan cut that out because he wants Aemond's scene to be more impressive? Rhaena who grown up dragonless doesn't has any backstory and the show doesn't even focus on her pain while Aemond had given a fully made up bullying story? There is no mention of the impressive fact that helaena as 11/12 was able to claim one of the largest/oldest dragons of that time? There is nothing wrong for a writer to like a certain character but not to the point of literally stealing and destroying other characters just to make their fave the only likable character. And I wonder what trying to woobify a mass murder and a rapist whose greatest achievement is about killing innocents and children while destroying and subjecting female characters truly says about Ryan?

I've seen team black talking about the same thing before, making the son of Breakbones this weak and pathetic boy was certainly a choice.

I agree with you, we should've seen Laena and Helaena claiming their HUGE dragons at such a young age. I honestly think that it wouldn't make Aemond's scene less impactful, we would get way more attached to Vhagar and see that Laena was her own woman and worthy of the biggest dragon in the known world.

As I said before, the feminist angle is just to stop criticism of bad writing.

Something all Helaegon and Daemyra stans can agree on is Aemond fans are bloody wild! I post about shipping both them couples and somehow my inbox is filled with hate from Aemond supporters🤣 like bru, nobody is mentioning him

LMAO, Nonnie...I'll get so much hate asks after this...but you're so right lol.

what are the aemond stan’s crying about? he’s fictional ya’ll but seriously what do they complain about

Mainly about how Aemond isn't my favourite, because god forbid Aemond isn't my fave.

House of the Dragon tag game!

Thanks to @jotterjots for tagging me. I'm new in this fandom so it was a pleasant suprise to se me tagged somewehre. Anyways lets begin. 1.Who's your favorite character? What draws you to them? Its Aegon for me, he was one of my favs in the book and in the show he appealed to me due to his nature of being aware he is not suited for the throne, he's an asshole, his frat boy energy and looking like a wet pathetic cat with pleading eyes. Also him in his king outfit looks fire af. xD 2.What's your favorite episode of the season? For me its Driftmark, I love the whole conflict with Aemond's eye or The Lord of the Tides with the dinner scene that warms my heart and has great moments. 3.What is your favorite line from the season? "Her children are BASTARDS" idk this line stuck in my head, probably due to Vaemond's hilarious delivery 4.Which actor's portrayal is your favorite? Now this is difficult because I think everyone did a wonderful job in breathing live to the character. If I am to decide I have to pick Olivia Cooke as Alicent. 5.Which character would you most want to be stuck on a deserted island with? woah difficult but I think I'll pick Aemond, I did not take his eye so he wouldn't be so hostile to me and he is also smart so I'll take my chances with him 6.Name a minor character you want to know more about! Erryk and Arryk, why did they make their choices. 7.Who's character arc are you most interested to see continued, for better or worse? Aegon I want to see how he progresses as King and see if they do the same as in the book or go their own route. 8.Who's your most anticipated new character of Season 2? SUNFYRE MY BOYYYYYYYYYY I've been so sad to not see him in season 1 hopefully they'll do him right and as of a human it’s definitely Daeron, he was not in season 1 and I hope to see him next season, I'm excited to see who they have casted for him. 9.Which is your favorite dragons of the ones we saw? Vhagar, with her Dinosaur/Komodo Dragon look was very cool to see. She's so surreal being a living history relic. 10.What's your favorite relationship from this season? (romantic, platonic, antagonistic- whichever!) It's the one between Alicent and Rhaenyra, how they started as friends and deteriorated over the years. I also kinda like the might I say friendship between Criston and Alicent. 11.Link one or more of your favorite pieces of fanart! (Have you reblogged it already? Consider reblogging it again! Do NOT repost) There would be this of Aegon and Aemond in modern clothes and this of all the green sibs. Everything @ice-mint draws xD 12.Link one or more of your favorite fics! its hard to choose... here is one I really liked its Aegon x OC. There are many more stories I liked ofc. :D 13. Link one or more of your favorite gifsets! (^^Same) This one, just like above there are many more I like too. Edit: this one too Again, thank you for tagging me. :)

What your headcanons about the greens dragons and their personalities?

Anonymous asked: Can you give us your headcanons about the greens dragons's personalities?

I have a few Sunfyre headcanons here and here. As for the other green dragons, not a lot of these visions from the gods have visited me, except for the fact that I've decided all of them love Alicent, because it would be ironic for the girl who was/is scared of such beasts to have six different dragons simping over her.

I think it would be cool for the egg Rhaenyra picked for Baelon (and, subsequently, the one Daemon stole) to have hatched into Sunfyre. Although it means that somehow the egg traveled back to Dragonstone (because Sunfyre was a hatchling brought over from Dragonstone). Also, that would mean Dreamfyre is Sunfyre's mother.

I buy into the theory that Dreamfyre is the mother of Dany's dragons. I believe it's very likely she laid the eggs that hatched into Morghul and Shrykos + Maelor's egg. I'm saying this because during that time communication was pretty non-existent with Rhaenyra's court at Dragonstone, so it would make more sense to harvest eggs from the most readily-available source. Although Vhagar providing eggs for the children would be cute, too.

Vhagar sees Aemond as her child. He doesn't command her; more like she humours him. She doesn't fit in the Dragonpit, so they built some rudimentary stables for her outside of King's Landing. She has her own separate team of dragon-keepers who take care of her and feed her. It's a pain in the arse to groom her, because she is so big. Aemond had to learn to rope himself like Spiderman around her to clean her and help her shed dead skin. It's an entire choreography he performs with the dragon-keepers, but he quite enjoys it and it's one of the few instances where he works well within a team.

Getting to Vhagar is cumbersome for Aemond. He has to travel by horse for quite a while before he reaches her. As a result, he becomes really skilled at horse-riding and turns into a bit of a horse nerd. He reads a lot about them and discovers zorses are a thing in Essos. Yes, he wants one. IDK why, but I think Aemond would have a soft spot for animals. He'd be a bit of a speed fiend, too. Get into methods of transportation as a hobby. Maybe he would have invented the bicycle in another life.

I see Tessarion as a pretty chill and friendly dragon that the people of Oldtown enjoy admiring from afar, even if they are a little wary. I think one of the reasons Daeron was sent to foster in Oldtown was so that the maesters at the Citadel could get the opportunity to study a dragon. Daeron was always convinced Tessarion was a girl, even since she was a hatchling, but everyone dismissed it as a child's fancy until she laid her first clutch of eggs and then he gotcha-ed everybody.

Aegon is the only one out of his siblings to have a male dragon.
