which of your hotd ocs are team green or team black (and maybe why)

aaah, great question pal! i think i have my mind made up for most of them, so i will list my ocs’ alignments and a brief description of why they chose that respective side below.

*TEAM GREEN/ALICENT’S PARTY:

aliza oleander (née hightower) — due to being the sister of otto and aunt of alicent.

juliaena tyrell (née oleander) — due to being the cousin of alicent.

mykal oleander — due to being the cousin of alicent. also served as her son, aegon’s political ally.

rhaerion targaryen — originally sided with the blacks at his sister, rhaenys’ behest, but later switched allegiances in order to gain favor for vivienne oleander’s hand.

torvi (the right eye) — due to becoming involved with prince aemond.

vivienne oleander — sided with the queen’s party out of her loyalty and blood relation to alicent (it might be fair to note she was manipulated into choosing sides). encouraged by her fondness of her cousin’s children.

*NEUTRAL OR UNINVOLVED:

jaehra targaryen — never cared for politics (or really anyone but herself) so she never vouched for either side

mortin oleander — died before either party commenced

raisa royce — never publicly sided with any party, but was assumed to have preferred the greens due to her love for alicent and hatred for daemon

*TEAM BLACK/RHAENYRA’S PARTY:

doranah of wyl — as both an act of revenge out of being scorned by her husband, ser criston cole, as well as to serve as a secret spy to her lover, daemon.

jaegor waters — due to his amassed loyalty to his brother, daemon targaryen, and thus rhaenyra

seraena storm — due to her fondness of rhaenyra and her loyalties to her father

Hi! :) You're HOTD OCs are absolutely amazing -- as you might have seen from my reblogging spree.

Can you tell us more about House Oleander's political agenda and their role within the power structures of the Reach? Did they back the Tyrells during AC or were they one of the houses that meant to be Lords Paramount themselves?

Vivienne is a fable beauty and probably sent to court to advance the family's position by marriage -- what's her opinion on this? Is she also ambitious? Is her lighter colouring symbolic of her nature?

Feel free to treat this as a safe space to tell us stuff you wanna share but no one has asked yet. I'd love to hear more details!

And finally can you tell us the faceclaim for Mikael Oleander? I would like to get a better look at him.

Your faceclaims are super well chosen btw, the actors are largely unknown and share the family characteristics.

aww thanks so much for your kind words. i will do my best to answer tour questions below. 💜

house oleander is a house that basically built themselves from nothing. from the get go their motives were all about what could pull them higher and higher socially. they are not as powerful politically as the tyrells, but they do share a long history with them. members of the house married into the tyrell house and vice versa over the years. in the dance of dragons era, house oleander has a fairly large influence in the reach. they have solid connections both within and without the reach. especially once the Hightowers start making moves in the capital, as the matriarch of their house is otto’s sister. juliaena marries into house tyrell during this time period as a show of solidarity between the two houses during this period as well, while her sister’s hand was claimed by rhaerion targaryen. the oleanders never ruled the reach in name but were certainly one of the most well known houses. i certainly think that if they had their way they would’ve taken over as lords paramount of the reach, but opted to keep their enemies close instead. 

vivienne is certain a passioned storybook damsel. i based her off of a large combination of fictional and historical characters. her beauty was definitely more of a curse than a blessing as it resulted in many of her woes. it’s what initially resulted in her mother shipping her off to the capital alongside her older sister. vivienne has always been a dutiful woman. thus, it wasn’t difficult for her to go along with being used as a pawn because in her mind it was for the greater good. she never really had ill feelings about it, nor did she hope to gain more from it than what was necessary for her family. the woman didn’t really have any personal ambitions. all she wanted was to be happy alongside her beloved, jaegor. however, even that wasn’t possible for her ultimately. thanks to her family (the Hightowers and the oleanders) she was forced to marry rhaerion instead. while he claimed to love her, the only good thing that really came out of that arrangement that worked in her own favor was that birth of her daughter aeva. also, her coloring is most certainly an ode to her gentle nature and innocence. great eye! 

last by not least, mikal oleander’s faceclaim is the adorable giorgio belli. thank you so much for your compliments to my fc choices. i do my best to cast families properly and use people that aren’t as mainstream. 😊

torvi the right eye: slain by daemon targaryen 

vivienne oleander: illness 

[hiddenqveendom]

I just noticed that julianea is a tyrell (after a week later lmao) so what's her story, who's her husband...

omg sorry for the late reply! to be honest, juliaena is a plot bunny that plays a very minor role in the whole dance ordeal...

she initially spends a very short time in king's landing along side her younger sister vivienne, before she is married off to the ailing lord lanse tyrell's first born son, lanse tyrell ii. juliaena has a very sharp mind, taking after her mother, aliza hightower. thus, she heavily influenced her impressionable husband's actions and allegiances.

her main goal has always been to do what is most beneficial for the oleander and hightower family names. in fact, she was quite against the possibility of vivienne marrying ser jaegor waters for the mere fact that he was a bastard, and vouched for her union to prince rhaerion in spite of knowing of his nature.

juliaena bore her husband two children; glendys tyrell (named after her paternal grandmother) and lanse tyrell iii, who would later take over a lord of highgarden during the dance. of her children, lanse took after her the most for his high ambitions and political prowess. he also had the most "oleander" physical features. glendys, on the other hand was more like her father and aunt; naive and meek.
