Also I go the lullaby from this source so please understand that this is the original English lyrics from "Hāros Bartossi" from House of the dragons.

*Rumiko is clearly tired as she looks at the ring on her hand and looks at Sojiro for a moment who was sleeping soundly but sighs softly as she got out of bed and decided to go on a walk to herself out as she woke up from a nightmare not before seeing Hanzo also awake making her worried about him* Rumiko: Hanzo what are you doing awake in the middle of the night? Young Hanzo:*jumps a bit and looks at her before looking down* I-I just... Rumiko:*kneels down and cups his face* I'm not mad my hatchling, what happened? Young Hanzo:... Rumiko: Did you have a nightmare? Young Hanzo:*looks away from her before nodding a bit* Rumiko:*sighs and hugs him* It's okay my darling, it was only a dream... Young Hanzo: B-But it felt so real and- Rumiko: Hush now, you can tell me later on okay. Young Hanzo:*hugs her and starts crying a bit* You left us... Rumiko:*holds him close and closes her eyes* Oh sweetie... Young Hanzo: Y-You won't leave us right? Rumiko:*smiles softly* I won't ever leave you nor your brother and your father I swear nothing could ever make me leave you three alone. Young Hanzo:*laughs a bit as he pulls away wiping his tears* Promise? Rumiko:*smiles softly and dries his tears as well* I dragon promise. Young Hanzo:*smiles softly* Thank you momma... Rumiko:*smiles softly* Do you need anything to drink to help you sleep? Young Hanzo:..No just...Can you sing to me...Please...I-I know I'm a bit to old for a lullaby and- Rumiko:*smiles softly* Nonsense, your never too old. Besides I missed singing to you and your brother so it's an honour. *Soon she took Hazno back to his his room and sat near his bed and smiled soflty petting his hair for a moment* Young Hanzo:*relaxes a bit in her touch* Rumiko:*sighs softly and starts singing* "One who breathes fire one bearing wings but two heads need three and a spell that sings" Young Hanzo:*closes his eyes for a moment listening to her sing* Rumiko:*smiles softly and continues to pet his hair running her fingers through them* "follow my voice blood magic old the price has been paid as the fires foretold", in visions of flame listen to me the spell that needs three is made whole through me" *with that Hanzo was fast asleep as Rumiko smiled softly before leaving his room as she headed back towards her bed sighing a bit when she noticed that Sojiro was awake* Rumiko: Oh hello. Sojiro: What happened? Rumiko: Oh nothing, just had to sing a little lullaby to our son. Sojiro: Can I ask why? Rumiko: He had a nightmare so I helped him fall asleep by singing a little lullaby to him. Sojiro: But why where you awake? Rumiko:*looks at him and sighs before getting into bed with him* It's nothing my dear I couldn't sleep, had a glass of water. Sojiro:*hugs her and holds her* Hmm I don't believe that but for now don't ever leave without waking me up. Rumiko:*snorts a laughter and smiles* I promise my love. Sojiro:*holds her before dozing off to sleep* I love you. Rumiko:*holds him back and sighs softly* I love you too.

EWAN MITCHELL as AEMOND TARGARYEN in House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 1

[js-dragonart]

"Tasty bröther."

Had this on my mind for a while now, ever since I watched this interview. The dynamic between these two goofballs is just so wholesome. Tom always fooling around while Ewan tries to stay professional and has this "I can't take him anywhere" look on his face.

[gay-dorito-dust]

Rhaenyra, daemon, Jace, Aegon, alicent, Otto, Aemond, Baela, Rhaena, rhaenys, Corlys: Whatcha got there?

Reader: *holding a lemon cake whilst cannibal is behind them* A lemon cake.

Cannibal: *just being cannibal and no liking anyone near reader*

Bonus;

Helaena: *saw this happening but no one listened like usual.*

(I’m just unhealthy obsessed with this idea)

[girlsworldillusion]

Excerpts from Ewan Mitchell's interview about his nudes in hotd:

"Scenes like this start with a conversation about how far you’re prepared to go. It wasn’t a choice we made lightly. But it’s true to Aemond that he shocks the audience. Weakness is not part of Aemond’s vocabulary.

I love that line from Michael Mann’s Heat, when Bob De Niro’s character says, “Don’t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.” That’s the code his character utilizes so he’s able to maneuver around this world without getting caught by Al Pacino.

Aemond has a similar code that stops him from being hurt like he was as a kid. That’s why he’s able to walk out on the madam in that scene. He’s humiliated by his brother and all his crew, and it’s like this switch flips. The madam is no more. All of these people in front of him? They mean nothing. He stands up, he owns it. “Yeah, I’m bulletproof. Anything you say, it will not work.” Like you say, it’s scary."

House of the Dragon + Reductress Headlines (17/?)

[got-brainrot]

when i watched HotD (with no knowledge of the book) i was like, ok this is a bit cringey they’re obviously trying to make a pro women narrative and it’s turning out a bit cringe but whatever; and the more i learn abt the actual book the more i’m like, not whatever actually! why is this shit so cringe when you could’ve had much more powerful womens stories if u just stuck to the fucking book plot lines. in trying to make a “feminist retelling” they have just, stripped? most of the female character of most of their personalities??? I can see where they’re coming from w certain ideas, like having Helaena chose her daughter over her son could work in certain stories, but learning abt the book and how important Maelor was to that story it’s just, weird af that they did that? it feels LESS feminist to take away a huge part of Helaena’s story for this like middle school level lesson that daughters r infact just as important as their princely brothers and u probably shouldn’t sacrifice them to kidnappers, like thanks i think we all knew that actually,,,

tired of men trying to make feminist movies with their 3rd grade level understanding of feminism

Jace and Luke: Can we get ice cream?

Daemon: Did you ask Rhaenyra?

Luke: Yeah, she said no.

Daemon: Then why did you ask me?

Jace: She's not the boss of you.

Daemon, internally: It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap, it's a tr-

S2 dropping Nettles and inserting Rhaena into her storyline is actually insane. Nettles being one of (if not) the most important characters of the dance, showcasing the intersection between race, class and material privilege, undermining targaryen racial supremacy by claiming a dragon.. all that out the window ! this show is unreal man

Belos: You can not defeat me.

(A hurt Luz finds a small bird.)

Luz: Oh. Hello, birdie. I'm gonna call you...Toriyama.

(Toriyama dies)

Luz: Toriyama, no! You were taken before your time. No. No! NO!

(Luz transforms into Titan!Luz. Toriyama is healed and flies away.)

Luz: Go, Toriyama. And teach a dinosaur how to ride a ball.

Aegon: hey, how are you-

Cannibal: *growls*

Aegon: *clings onto reader* GET YOUR FUCKING DRAGON BITCH!

Reader: he doesn’t bite ☺️

Aegon: YES IT DO!! HE EATS EVERYTHING THAT MOVES!!!

[midnight--sadness]

this stupid ass show's timeline is so fucked up omg

according to the wikia, the year is 132 AC, which is already stupid in and of it itself but whatever, moving on.

I think it was last episode that they say that Daeron is 16, which is fine, okay, but then you remember that according to the timeskips and the wikia, Helaena is 17 and Aemond is 17-16. Jaehaerys & Jaehaera are 4 years old, so Helaena had them at 13, which is just.... yikes. But did Alicent have three children in two years? Why is Aemond's birth so uncertain when all the other major characters have birth years?

Alicent says that Gwayne was 8 and motherless when she and Otto came to court, and yet in episode 1 of the first season, Daemon mentions that Otto's wife died recently and we see Gwayne was old enough to participate in the tourney.... are there two Gwaynes or did the writers forget that they had already introduced his character? Also, him saying that he is the oldest son and should be raised at Oldtown is so stupid, because Otto is the second son and none of his children will inherite the Hightower, not unless his brother's kids all drop dead, which we know doesnt happen in the books (though they could do that in the show, who knows).

the writers make such stupid choices in regards to the timeline. Why did they make Joffrey, Aegon III and Viserys II so young when it is going to create so many problems for the narrative later on? How is Aegon going to flee on dragonback when Stormcloud is the size of a cat? Is someone going to rescue him and leave Viserys behind? One of the reasons Aegon III was so broken is because he was forced to abandon his brother and he never forgave himself. how can that happen in the show when he doesnt even have the ability to properly eat by himself?

and now they made Hugh Saera's son, when he looks like he is the same age as Daemon, and Saera was only 14 when Daemon was born in the books? hell, when he was born she hadnt even had that whole scandal business.... not to mention that they make it see like Hugh was born in Westeros, probably the Crownlands or even King's Landing itself. Are they trying to say that Saera worked at a brothel in the city while her father was king?

[nxpthys]

Aegon running into Aemond’s place out of breath: Aemond! Help! I need help! Aemond rolling his eyes: I’m not falling for that, Aegon. Aegon agitated: Aem, I’m serious! Someone got hurt! Aemond: Aeg calm down! What happened? Aegon: I was out with the fam getting dinner and an ice cream truck came rushing around the corner and it was going to hit Rhaenyra but then dad pushed her out of the way! Aemond: Is Rhaenyra okay? Aegon: She’s fine! The truck hit dad! Aemond: Oh my- Aegon pulling a popsicle out of his pocket: We already called for help and he’s on his way to the hospital right now Aemond: Oh good- Wait did you buy an ice cream from the ice cream truck that hit dad? Aegon shrugging: It was on sale.
