Everytime I read fire and blood, I can't imagine how dirty Rhaenys tqwnw was done. Not only Jaehaerys skipped her as heir, he then made an election where sexist pigs were allowed to vote. Obviously he knew what he was doing, Vaegon knew what he was doing and all knew the outcome of the 101 council. Why would Jaehaerys choose a weak Walserys as his heir though. Could have at least trained him for the role of king eventually, since Aemon's death.

Btw do we know what Daenerys thinks of Rhaenyra

On top of my head I'm going to go with Jaehaerys was interested in keeping his male line on the throne, just out of the top of my head. Trying to impose modern values and views on characters from another universe similar to Medieval Europe would not be the best thing to do imho. Also very unfortunately, since Westeros was mostly ruled by "sexist pigs" they would be the ones choosing, yes. Definitely Jaehaerys wouldn't say "My lords, actually your wives get the vote." Hum... actually going by Alicent, maybe that would have been even worse for Rhaenys.

I think Jaehaerys did this because he wanted to wash his hands from another choice.

As for Viserys, we don't know what kind of preparation he had, just as we don't know if and what preparation Rhaenys had. We also don't know how successful of a ruler she would have been, but what I saw during the Dance and before was Corlys taking center stage a LOT, and Rhaenys kind of being in the background for the most part - except in the Battle of Rook's Rest.

I would argue, however, that having good preparation to rule, or even, being a good ruler, doesn't mean you'll be successful at handling your family, just as Alysanne and Jaehaerys very successfully proved; and actually you can have limitations as a ruler yet be very successful at managing a family - like Rhaenyra and Daemon very successfully proved with their children.

If you want to talk about how dirty Rhaenys was done, I think you can start by bringing up her husband having not one but two bastard children with a woman younger than their daughter and then passing those same children as her grandsons and sons of her dead son.

Now that's being done dirty. But most of y'all just hate Jaehaerys and aren't ready for this convo.

Not. At. All.

No, we don't. Rhaenyra is barely mentioned in the main asoiaf books and I believe there's no scene of Daenerys considering her - which is curious given Rhaenyra's importance and how much she and Dany have in common, but again, just comes to show how George didn't have a whole lot figured out/thought of at the time.

We do have two characters who mention her though.

The first one to mention her is Stannis Baratheron, to call her a usurper and to point out how usurpers need to be punished no matter who they are - I love this part especially since he's s descendent of hers. Thank the gods Rhaenyra was Rhaenyra and not a robot, sir, or you wouldn't be here. #cancelled

The second one is Arianne who is... pretty much trying to compare herself to Rhaenyra when it's like... lady *sigh* you aren't even close.

Some people would say Arianne would be like "You like Rhaenyra? Oh, name her first album". But actually given how George changed the story and characters of the Dance since then... we are pretty much talking about a character with significant differences from the one Arianne is trying to compare herself with - and even then there's not much to go by. Like I don't know what Arianne thought the Dance was about, but it wasn't about some 20+ year old saying "Daddy Love me!" and trying to get his attention by acting a fool. Arianne had daddy issues, Rhaenyra had uncley issues. They weren't the same.

I would actually say that if Arianne said this Rhaenyra would be like "Arianne *sigh* first of it's not samples that you have to give it to everyone, and second, you don't know me. Girl, bye, I'm TeamDany. Bye!"

Arianne:

Rhaenyra:

if it were Danny not Dany...

You know if in a movie some guy named Danny had been widowed, lost 2 of his sons, was worried the woman he loves was having doubts about his ability to do his job (and her sisters were badmouthing him behind his back), and his quest for justice/revenge had a pivotal moment when he confronts the anatognist, Cedric, and instead of surrendering, Cedric beheaded Danny's best friend (the one that all the slash fics for Danny will be written about) in front of him, Danny would kill them all. And the narrative would paint him as right to do so. He'd kill Cedric last, get the girl, walk off into the sunset.

That's why GoT seems so misogynistic.

[ladykakata]

Imagine if there WAS a boatbaby. Imagine S8 wasn't horseshit. Imagine Dany and Jon giving up the Throne and going away somewhere to be a family. Now imagine Daenerys presenting the newborn baby to Drogon for the first time. TeamTargaryen, give me your headcanons on this first meeting between Dany's oldest and youngest child.

[idontlikemaincharacters]

I just realised that there were wildfire explosions when Dany burned King’s Landing.

Could it be that Cersei was, to a certain degree, thinking that Dany would stop once they rang the bell. And once Dany steps into King’s Landing peacefully, she will turn against them and light the wildfire like she did with the High Sparrow, taking everyone down. Then Cersei would win in the end. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Well, Dany took the advantage to attack first huh.

Emilia Clarke Was "Flabbergasted" by Daenerys Targaryen's Ending in Game of Thrones

Back in Clarke’s dressing room, the actress is preparing to film one of her final scenes on the series. Understandably, she can’t quite bring herself to feel sorry for Jon Snow.

“Um, he just doesn’t like women does he?” Clarke quips. “He keeps f—king killing them. No. If I were to put myself in his shoes I’m not sure what else he could have done aside from … oh, I dunno, maybe having a discussion with me about it? Ask my opinion? Warn me? It’s like being in the middle of a phone call with your boyfriend and they just hang up and never call you again. ‘Oh, this great thing happened to me at work today —hello?’ And that was 9 years ago…”

Sansa in S8

@esther-dot Our discussion about what D&D were trying to do with Sansa’s storyline in S8 got me thinking: what if depicting Sansa as an independent queen who answered to no one was their attempt to have an answer at the ready to accusations of misogyny for killing Daenerys? That would be in keeping with how they used Arya in the last couple of seasons. So much of their “characterizations” in S7 and S8 weren’t at all about the actual personalities in question, but about having proxies for various arguments from the audience:

Arya in S7 was supposed to represent the section of the audience who were still convinced that Sansa was treacherous; by the end of S8e1 that section of the audience were supposed to have adopted Arya’s new outlook that Sansa is 100% A-okay and smarter than you might think.

Arya in S8 continued to be kick-ass, but they added a new element to her depiction: sexy. That, and her nostalgic road trip with The Hound, was supposed to get all the dudebros who might still be TeamDany onto Arya’s side in time for the destruction of King’s Landing, shown from Arya’s perspective.

Arya’s threatening response to Yara (LOL, the worst puppet character of them all?) in the final episode was intended to lay to rest any question about whether she’d have ever sided with Daenerys against any member of her family.

I’m wondering if they thought that they could satisfy “the feminists” with Sansa’s (emotionally stilted and discordant) ending? They could meet accusations of misogyny vis a vis Dany with “Why, whatever do you mean? Sansa is Queen in the North in her own right, entirely on her own merits!” Completely tone-deaf with no regard for the characters or good storytelling - but it would provide cover for them when facing angry accusations of not allowing a woman to wield power well.

ETA: This might also account for D&D’s hideous decision to include that gross conversation between Sansa and The Hound - which emphasized her suffering at the hands of evil people who were subsequently punished and killed, while she ascended triumphantly.

Splurging in theories has been my kink lately. I’m still fully committed to wearing my clown hat if Dany isn’t the one to bring down the Wall, because I said I would wear the darn hat, and I’m true to my words, m’kay! Upon reflection though, and all that splurge reading, it’s true that Martin really is setting up conflict between team FAegon/Martells and TeamDany, and maybe it was unrealistic of me to predict that Dany will leave it half way there to go deal with Stannis in the North (where she’d end up with way more on her plate than Stannis). Hum, yeah maybe Martin will want to milk it dry with this Dany vs Aegon dispute. Though I still can’t picture FAegon/Aegon on a dragon. I’m trying to, but I can’t.  

Actually, to be completely honest, I have a really hard time imagining Dany and FAegon fighting over the throne on dragonback. Over King’s Landing (I presume, since everything has to go kaboom, so it must be there...?) Maybe I’m overthinking it, or seeing it to narrowly, but it just doesn’t click?

Or... will Dany and Euron team up against FAegon and Arianne? I’ve been low key thinking lately that Jon and Dany’s final scene in the show might be intended for Dany and Euron in the books, with Dany in Jon’s place and Euron in showDany’s place. It’s a bit what I had in mind when I painted this, besides. 

[fandom10]

“She burned Randall and Dickon Tarly alive instead of taking them prisoner when they wouldn’t bend the knee. Still, the act that wasn’t out of character for rulers in this world, even if it was not merciful or politically wise. Ned Stark and Robb Stark executed his men for disobeying their orders, too. “

Game of Thrones Had an Opportunity With Daenerys Targaryen. The Show Squandered It http://time.com/5590729/game-of-thrones-finale-daenerys/ also notes she was right to be paranoid about conspiracy, genes used against her, allies ignored, and “Daenerys’ advisors gave her terrible advice”

[daenerys-targaryen-moved]

Eh the starks ending doesn’t make sense either story wise, that they would choose to be separated and alone once again, especially sansa. D&d clearly don’t know their own material after the line “the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.” was thrown around several times, so whoever liked the ending is still blind to see that no character was done justice in the end. Anyhow #TEAMDANY

Of course it doesn’t make any sense. The lone wolf might not have died, but the pack surely didn’t survive lmao. The whole point of sansa / Tyrion / Varys plotting against daenerys was bec there was ‘someone better’ (Jon) then the moment daenerys is gone they all ~ suddenly forget ~ that Jon is the one they wanted on the throne to begin with then brAN IS KING? One second arya is all “she’s not one of us, I don’t care about anyone but us” then LITERALLY the next scene she’s leaving winterfell (after not saying goodbye to her precious family, mind you) AND SAYS SHE’S NEVER GOING BACK?!??!!? IT MAKES NO SENSE !!! LICH RALLY IT MAKES NO SENSE !!

anyways fuck d&d and fuck grrm if this is his true intended ending
