With the submission of the Three Sisters and the Iron Islands, all of Westeros south of the Wall was now ruled by Aegon Targaryen, save Dorne alone. So it was to Dorne that the Dragon next turned his attention. Aegon first attempted to win the Dornishmen with words, dispatching a delegation of high lords, maesters, and septons to Sunspear to treat with Princess Meria Martell, the so-called Yellow Toad of Dorne, and persuade her of the advantages of joining her realm to his. Their negotiations continued for the best part of a year, but achieved nothing.
Fire and Blood, by George R.R. Martin pg 29

As someone who gives zero fucks about historical accuracy and was devastated when Merlin and Reign were cancelled I found My Lady Jane so entertaining like so genuinely funny and the costumes are stunning and I really really hope it gets renewed cause I need some light hearted period drama to cleanse my palate after HotD

Hey, we've seen some fantastic animated series lately. If you haven't already, run right now and check out
Arcane
Blue Eye Samurai
Scavengers Reign
Chainsaw Man
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
Tear Along the Dotted Line
Love Death + Robots
Arcane and Blue Eye Samurai compete for the best animated series I've ever seen, of all time, and they're both ongoing. That's wild. What gorgeous animation. Scavengers Reign is a wonderful sci-fi series that's actually original, and I'm sad to say that's a rarity. It shouldn't be! I'll let you discover the rest. Just a reminder that Love Death + Robots is an anthology, and as usually this entails hits and misses. But the hits are SO good.
Other good series that are not groundbreaking or anything in terms of animation (which is generally on purpose: most of them aim to emulate a specific established style, and succeed), but they still get the job done, and are fun to watch:
Castlevania (and Castlevania: Nocturne)
Star Trek: Lower Decks
Invincible
The Legend of Vox Machina
Dragon Age: Absolution
Good stuff!

It's no mystery why he's considered to be the most beautiful dragon to ever fly the Westerosi skies. Only 7 weeks left to wait for season 2 and we'll finally get to see this majestic boy in action!

before the Gameplay Reveal of Dragon Age: The Veilguard went live the other day, the stream had a countdown on a purple background. there was cool music playing in the background of this. there is a rewatch link for the gameplay video, but it doesn't include the song. Ghil Dirthalen recorded it though, so if you would like to re-listen to it, you can do so here at [this link]. there is also a link in the description of the video to a download of the audio file there.
maybe this is the music that plays over the 'Start Menu'? :)

I'm thinking of the incredibly vital role Rhaenyra was given after her mother died, becoming the first ever female heir to the iron throne.
How revolutionary this was, and what an opportunity it presented for all women in Westeros (outside of Dorne).
How the sexist society she lived in was less than pleased of this title and how happy it would have been to strip her of it. And how easy Rhaenyra made it for them to do so.
She knew the importance of the title she bore, she knew that every noble man in the continent would look for anything to discredit her because of mysogyny, she knew that how she behaved would determine whether or not women would ever be considered capable of taking the weight of the crown and rule.
And she completely fumbled the bag by:
Being extremely rude and bratty to all of her suitors, refusing her arranged marriage, obviously cheating of her husband and claiming her bastards were true born, murdering said husband so she could marry her uncle (who has a terrible reputation) days after his own wife's death.
What was she thinking?
Didn't she even bother to wonder what the realm would think of her unlawful actions?
She literally proved the sexist society right, by being the most scandalous princess she could be, and that only solidified in the minds of everyone in Westeros that if you put a woman in a position of power she's gonna abuse it to do whatever she wants.
The girlboss black queen is the reason why no other Targaryen woman ever sat the iron throne after her, as her scandals and treachery turned the population against the mere though of a female ruler, in fear of having a new "Maegor with teats".

Aegon is growing his hair out in S2 which just confirms my theory that he cut his hair short to distance himself from his Targaryen heritage and the duty contained therein but now that his family is at war and his children have been targeted he's finally facing it and accepting that he is the leader they have even if he doesn't want to be

House of the Dragon clearly doesn't come close to The Borgias (I'm talking about the Showtime version here) the iconic Rome (and I will forever thank my old high school freshman history teacher for teaching me discover this nugget) or even The Tudor.
I want to say, it doesn't even come close to My Lady Jane on Amazon Prime, a reimagined version of the story with a dose of fantasy and comedy.
Frankly, objectively, HOTD is pitiful.
Even REIGN, is better that this shit show !
The fact that so many people put it on a pedestal will always baffle me, including comparing it to The Ring of Power, when in fact both shows have the same flaws. It's just that at least on TROP's side the screenwriters own up to their bullshit without taking themselves for writing gods...

Queen Arowana of the Seawings- well known across the continent for her love of jewels and shows of beauty… And her less than faithfulness to her husband…
Happy smile! (Seawings in my AU typically have larger pupils, and no visible whites in their eyes- unlike the other tribes)
