You get it!! I'm not a big fan of the popular discourse around Daemon's gender issues I feel like it's just people making fun of him or it's used to diminish his relationship with Rhaenyra by saying he actually wanted to be Viserys's sisterwife and is using her as a replacement.
oh thank you! <3 also like. so glad i’ve managed to avoid most of that discourse because i simply don’t pay attention to what anyone besides my beloved mutuals say about daemon anymore. i feel like you’re 100% right about the nature of those discussions based on what little i have seen though.
the idea that daemon is using rhaenyra as a replacement for viserys just seems like the latest iteration of the “daemon’s only using her for the throne” take, which has been so thoroughly disproved at this point that people who hate daemon/their relationship and in some cases rhaenyra herself had to switch tactics to try to keep the character/relationship bashing and derision somewhat canon compliant. their relationship with each other (and with viserys) and daemon’s relationship with gender/masculinity is so much more complex and interesting.
#ngl reading this ask made me feel like blake lively in the cinematic classic film the shallows#when she gets attacked by a great white while swimming in its feeding ground (hearing about the latest bad daemon takes)#and has to swim to temporary safety on a rock (brilliant character analyses i see on my dash) but.#the tide is coming in (fandom exploding when s2 airs) and then nowhere will be safe lol#i’ve never actually seen the shallows bc i dislike blake lively#but i imagine this is exactly what her character would be feeling in that situation like essentially we’re going through the same thing#if you’ve noticed how many times i’ve edited this ask no you haven’t#daemon targaryen#hotd
