One of Rhaenyra's biggest opps (in HOTD) really was her own father. Because how are you going to proclaim your daughter as heir, only to then marry her best friend and have four kids, three sons, in an environment that is against women already as is but even more so with one sitting on the Iron Throne? And then, not only, do you not prepare her for anything political but scold her publicly, which isn't good for her image, and just....hardly do anything to aid her until you're on your last leg? And yet there are still fans saying he was a "great dad" and that he "did all he could". HA, I THINK NOT!

#rhaenyra targeryan #viserys targaryen #anti viserys i targaryen #hotd #house of the dragon #like he set her up so bad and it's quite sad really #like i do believe rhae fumbled on her own and was kind of not helping her case #but viserys played a role in this too #and he's just all around not a good person #he sets rhae up from the jump by not actively submitting that he chose her as his heir #and constantly leaving her second guessing as well as putting alicent in a tough spot bc why have more kids?#why put her or any other poor mother through the possibility of raising children only for them to be killed so his heir can remain?#and like even if rhae didn't want to kill her siblings (which i think is very debatable but in hotd terms might have given daemon) they #still would have been in a stick situation #don't even get me started on how he sucks at keeping peace bc he literally makes his own family resent one another #by being a shitty dad and husband. like sir you are not helping anything
