Criston, in book: a cold-blooded, ruthless, calculating, ambitious knight who skillfully eliminated others from his path, had a direct involvement in the coup, the one who convinced Aegon to become king and offered Aemond the post of regent.

Criston, in show: a single mother.

helaena hate is so forced it's embarrassing y'all are grasping for straws lmao

"oh she should've gone to rhaenyra so it's her fault" because rhaenyra called her 'sweet sister' once so that ensures her safety???? she should've taken her sons - the sons and heirs of rhaenyra's enemy for the throne and bring them to dragonstone to rhaenyra and daemon, voluntarily becoming hostages for rhaenyra and co to torture and kill. yeah, that's what she should've done, take her children and willingly become hostages & place them in grave danger & probable death instead of siding with the only family she knows and loves. be so fr rg what even is this logic

[very-straight-blog]

I'm so tired of this stupid "Aegon is a drunkard, he's not fit for the throne" rhetoric. Aegon's problems with alcohol are well, VERY exaggerated. Did he show up drunk at the Small Council meetings? No. Was he drunk listening to petitions from his subjects? No. Well, fuck you then.

[alicvnt]

i'm sorry…but a lot of people in the house of the dragon fandom really don't understand alicent's character at all, and it shows…because if i had to experience marital rape for years and years as a teenaged girl, all for a son that the father (viserys) wants so desperately, & then have said father of my child (who again, marital raped me for years) turn around and neglect the firstborn son...& not just the firstborn son, but all of my children (even neglecting the mother, alicent), it is safe to say i would lose my fucking mind and put my child on the iron throne just to spite my deadbeat, rapist husband—sorry, not sorry.

[coffeebooksrain18]

I just say a TB Say "Rhaenyra doesn't have experience being Heir! So Stop judging her for her mistakes!"

Cause last I checked her being Cup Beaer helped as she watched the council and learned how to rule. But she was also apart of the council for a bit which let her make decisions and learn to rule. But if that's not enough, as you all say she was needed at Dragontone to rule it...is her ruling a island not enough either to get the basics of ruling down?

[peachysunrize]

I think about this at least twice a day because s1 Alicent was everything to me. She loves Aegon not with her words, she loves the bones of his but at the same time she resents him because he resembles her so much. She’d stand in front of a dragon for him but she can’t hold him and tell him she loves him so much😭😭😭😭😭

Sunfyre moved his wing to shield Aegon from Vhagar's fire.

He landed on his wounded belly, which means even though he fell out of the sky backwards, he angled his body to avoid crushing Aegon.

Eventually, when Aemond found him, he curled up around his rider.

[spacerockfloater]

Aemond baby, get behind me.

They erased Helaena’s gentleness, her belovednesd and her life-ending despair to give to Rhaenyra, they aged down Alicent and made her betray everything she loved for Rhaenyra, they made Cole sleep with Rhaenyra when he never did in the books because he held to his vows, they erased Mysaria’s flaws to make her a side piece for Rhaenyra, they erased Baela’s wildness and tomboyishness to have her be subservient to Rhaenyra, they erased Nettles to make sure Daemon never had a serious committment with anyone but Rhaenyra, they had the Velaryons ignore that Rhaenyra had caused the deaths of two of their members to be subservient to Rhaenyra, they had Laenor just fuck off and abandon everything so Rhaenyra wouldn’t get her hands dirty, they erased the Silent Five so Rhaenyra wouldn’t get her hands dirty, they made Vaemond’s death completely different so Rhaenyra wouldn’t get her hands dirty, they erased Rhaenyra’s racism and calling for a child’s death so Rhaenyra wouldn’t get her hands dirty, they erased Rhaenyra’s own opulence because sTrong InDePeNdAnT wOmEn cAnNot bE gIrLy, they erased Rhaenyra’s own desire for the throne

And I’m expected to believe this show favours Team Green.

Interesting.

Helaena: Why are there little hand prints all over the wall?

Aegon, whispering to Jaehaera: Why are there little hand prints on the wall?

Jaehaera, whispering back: Because I have small hands!

Aegon: Because she has small hands.

manifesting for a scene of aegon smashing his deadbeat father's ugly ass legos

[very-straight-blog]

I'm genuinely perplexed by statements like "Helaena seems so innocent, but she did nothing to stop Aegon! She could sit on Dreamfyre and burn all the Greens! And she didn't!" Like… uh? It's time to realize that Helaena wasn't some unhappy hostage of her family. She loved them. She loved her children. She had no reason to go over to Rhaenyra's side or trust her at all. Surprise - that doesn't make her a bad person.

[greenqueenhightower]

The primary reason I love the Greens is that they are so messed up. They are not perfect, they are not disinfected and favored by the narrative, and they are raw to the bone; they are real.

Aegon is as real as a devastated and soul-crushed father gets whose grief translates to anger and violence. Helaena’s silent inner turmoil and anguish haunt the Red Keep. Alicent has become a wreck as she weighs this tragedy the only way she knows how: against her own failed moral compass, holding herself responsible.

Otto sees his strings of power stretch and snap as he pursues the unattainable dream once more. Criston feels unworthy and consoles himself with the deception that he remains unsullied by still bearing a white cloak to his name, having been absolved of his original oath-breaking years before. And Aemond refuses to acknowledge any weakness or softness in front of his family so he seeks consolation elsewhere.

This green family doesn’t know how to process emotions, doesn’t know how to grieve together, and can’t find solace in each other’s suffering despite yearning for comfort. Otto doesn’t know how to comfort Alicent, Alicent doesn’t know how to comfort Aegon, and Aegon doesn’t know how to comfort Helaena.

Larys exerts his influence and puppeteers Alicent to his own liking by giving her a much-desired grasp of agency over political affairs. Alicent finds escape in undiscovered indulgences that give her the intoxicating illusion of control over a lifetime of servitude. Criston succumbs to the addictive drug of being desired and wanted on equal terms. The Greens live in a vicious circle of unhealed trauma, a bottomless pit of fears and insecurities, and a tangled web of deception and control.

They are wounded, dysfunctional, and forsaken, and that makes them so intriguing.

[urdeftonesgrrrl]

me when people call Aemond a coward for fleeing a 3v1 when Rhaenyra was too scared to go against Aemond in a 1v1:
