#rhaenyra daemon's everything

[lanaisdoe]

She's always been his everything, his realm, HIS Realm's delight. He's always been HER protector, protector of the REALM :")

ALWAYS...

i cannot fucking wait to see rhaenyra being crowned.

despite everything, she gets crowned with the crown that was her father's, the one made for her great-grandfather.

she gets crowned by daemon, her blood and flesh, her uncle and husband, her sworn sword and king consort.

she gets crowned in dragonstone, in her family seat, all black volcanic rock and dragons surrounding — the closest thing the targaryens have to valyria.

she gets crowned amongst the blacks, her family, her loyal supporters, the people that will fight and die for her.

she gets crowned as queen rhaenyra targaryen, first of her name, queen of the andals, the rhoynar and the first men, lady of the seven kingdoms — the only title she is not given is 'protector of the realm' which is claimed by daemon himself.

rhaenyra claims the title of the realm — but she has always been the realm: first as princess, then as heir.

daemon claims the title of the protector of the realm — but he has always been her protector: first as uncle, then as husband.

if they don't give Helaena one scene that doesn't strip her of her agency or just treat her like fodder, I'm gonna scream. if they don't give Helaena one scene with her dragon, I'm gonna scream. if they don't give Helaena one, better yet, multiple, scenes with Aegon, her brother, her husband, the father of her children, I'm gonna scream.

Damn, he wanted that baby girl with Rhaenyra so much... he never lost hope 😭😭😭

He thinks that is his future daughter with Rhaenyra...

i cannot emphasize it enough to you guys that they're giving book!daemon hating his brother and wanting to steal his throne (that's why he begins grooming rhaenyra and sets her against her siblings and poisons her relationship w them forever) is going to show!aemond right now. book!aemond was never characterized as wanting his brother's throne or hating aegon. that was all daemon in the book 😬

The fact that the whole Dance is centered around a 30-year-old Rhaenyra and a 50-year-old Daemon having beef with some 14-20-year-old nepo babies—including an alcoholic with mommy issues, an autistic pixie girl, an anime villain, and a twink—will never be not funny to me.

C&H set the bar in hell and Rhaenyra still couldn't jump over it 💀

I mean, no one in Team Green gave a single fuck about any of Rhaenyra or Daemon's children. They were either casualties in the war or a minor annoyance for Alicent, Criston, and Otto. The Dragon Seeds were the ones who actually put up a good fight. Fuck, even Bloody Ben who was 11 in F&B, did so much more!

I literally just started laughing like a maniac alone in my room when I thought about this.

Being so against shipping that you literally strip characters of who they are is so wild to me. Like you are so mad people see the obvious chemistry between two people that you would take those characters and make them completely unrecognizable. Adding romance or a storyline related to love does not diminish or lessen the story. Making characters who support each other, push each other, rely on each other, then being upset that people enjoy these two characters and want them together is insane. Anti shipping culture feels so misogynistic and anti fan culture as well. Like you want people to be so against a ship that you would rather have character assassination. All this to say:

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 1.01 | The Heirs of the Dragon 1.10 | The Black Queen

[theroguequeen]

the way caraxes recognized syrax. Their little dragon noises. the way rhaenyra was nervous, not exactly sure what to expect but still so desperate to see daemon again, not only hearing his name out of people's mouth and all the unanswered letters, the sleepless night not knowing what daemon experienced in harrenhal and how she was with all the time even in his visions and lucid dreams and how he even heard someone say that he should be the who becomes king and how there is this parallel to corlys talking about viserys and daemon stopping him and even if he does not really say much this time, it's his laugh and his eyes and how he goes on his knees for his wife and queen just hours after that. it's how they both didn't sleep well since there is always someone missing in their bed, no comfort. and daemon and rhaenyra not taking their eyes of each other for one second the moment they finally see each other and feel the presence of the other. like. it's the way daemons voice gets soft and even kind of playful when he talks to her in high valyrian about how he could not leave her and it's how they are leaning more and more towards each other, it's like there is a crowd of people but at the same time it's just them, almost kissing but for now there's only his hand holding hers for a moment.

a 100% accurate depiction of Alicent and Daemon in 1x08

... she never made an effort... she only ever furthered herself from her siblings... she only made herself look like a threat, having it made clear viserys would always favor her, protecting her lies at the risk of others, after abandoning her mother when she needed her most, and used and lied to her, hurting her more than she already was from Viserys, for her own benefit (not to mention her manipulative father buried those thoughts deep in her mind while she was still a CHILD herself)... she had every reason to "hate" (fear) Rhaenyra and in her attempts to protect her children, extend that fear/hatred to them. even then, outside of Aemond (justifiably, considering she felt entitled to his eye and wanted to have him tortured) none of them even really hated her until the dance, at the very most, they felt resentful because their father loved her 10x more than he loved all 4 (including Daeron) of them combined, and at the very least, they felt nothing as she was never there, never mattered to their lives outside of court and politics.

this take is shit. Rhaenyra never cared. she never wanted her siblings in her life. she felt entitled to Aemond's eye, and you want to tell me she gave a shit, not even enough to spare her 10 year old brother, over an insult?

(and before you bring up her call for her siblings to come bend the knee, we know how she can kiss up and lie through her teeth in times of need, her words hold little backing. see it as truth if you want, but I can't trust it, not with how she's acted previously.)
