Viserys after finding out about Daemon and Rhaenyra despite the fact that his parents were brother and sister and he himself arranged the marriage between his son and his daughter:

i’m sorry my ears turn off to any critique of alicent that immediately sets out to imply or say outright that she seduced viserys. mofo that’s a 16 year old

viserys is the true villain in house of the dragon

lonely is the muse is such an alicent song

[bbygirl-aemond]

similarly it's interesting how quickly rhaenyra jumps to this idea of daemon not actually believing in her claim, only using her as a means to an end. when she tells him "i don't believe you," it's with no hesitation, as if she'd queued it up before daemon could even respond. she even says that she's never trusted him wholly. whether or not she's right about daemon is almost irrelevant in wake of the fact that she is so clearly convinced she is right; that she is so deeply insecure that she just comes back to her claim over and over again, simultaneously trying to assert her claim ("my throne, daemon, mine") and asking daemon to validate her by agreeing

it's so interesting to me that aegon immediately jumps to this idea of rhaenyra laughing at him from dragonstone, so much so that he brings it up twice in a row. it seems to be drawn from a deeper, older insecurity of his, borne out of his insecurity due to rhaenyra in particular. he fears she is looking down on him, and so he is convinced that she is laughing at him the exact same way he used to laugh at aemond when looking down upon him in their childhood.

"ALICENTS A WHORE!!! SHE SEDUCED VISERYS!!!"

Meanwhile Alicent-

[lullaebies]

no because after that ryan condal interview it really hit me aegon was really was standing in the shadow of every dead son, every stillborn and every boy that died in the cradle in the pursuit of an heir. rhaenyra too, of course, but even she ended up as the girl viserys settled on the pacify his guilt.

viserys wanted baelon because it would make things easier for him. he could have his heir and go by the rules and traditions and not feel bad about aemma. aegon, and later on his brothers, only made the situation he put himself in worse and worse. he resented those kids for what they are and what they aren't.

[from-ib-to-asshai]

the symbolism of aegon smashing viserys model of valyria....destroying his own legacy...his own legitimacy...destroying viserys dreams...but also him destroying the thing his father loved and valued more than him, after the death of his own son...

Viserys Targaryen you are BURNING in Hell.

(side note sian brooke might be reprising her role as aemma for season two? i just know they’re going to pull some nasty, soul crushing, tear-jerking shit if this is true ugh)

[dilfwh0rehouse]

you cannot tell me that Otto isn’t unbelievably heartbroken here like HELLO??????? He covers it with anger in ep 5 and blames Alicent but he’s just tossing blame around bc he’s sad💔

[panic-attheplace]

wait bc I just noticed how every Targaryen princess that should've been queen had Rhae in her name.

Rhaena

Rhaenys

Rhaenyra

(targ men ain't shit to me 🤷)

[aeriondripflame]

i will never believe the aemma arryn loved viserys propaganda. she hated that man i tell you.

𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐓𝐎 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃. alicent sees now, through the lens of an adult, how her father had so sneakily maneuvered his own child to become queen. how he had put her in the position despite her reluctance to do so--at the time she had been so desperate for his approval, for his affection, that she was willing to do whatever he wanted. what pleased otto hightower. though, truthfully, she hadn't been completely aware of her own fathers ambition for her. in the years since, with the birth of her children, alicent has grown into her title of queen but on the inside she misses the girl she was. the happiness of that time in her life that's harder & harder to find now.

@lunaruid said, [ SLEEPY ]: FOR VISERYS TO SLOWLY FALL ASLEEP ON ALICENT'S LAP.

he rests his head in her lap as he's done several times. the queen rests her hand tenderly on her husband's arm, palm giving small comforting pats before it settles. ( in moments like these she's reminded that she does care for viserys. she might not love him as a wife should, with the same devotion aemma had, but the care is there. even if she resents him for his treatment of their children. she's realized, since driftmark, that she will never be aemma. her children will never be rhaenyra in his eyes. ) ❛ sleep well, husband, ❜ she whispers, eyes fixed on anything but him. ❛ i shall stay until you fall asleep. ❜

i’ve never been an fan of Aegon but 30 minutes into ep 1 of s2 i feel so bad for him. he is really just a boy and of course he has stupid reckless violent and disgusting desires and doesn’t understand his role beyond taking what he wants and being loved and the sheep scene just :( he is an awful person but it is easy to see how his role has shaped him to be this way and those little moments where he just wants time with his son and to please his people and he wants fairness make me feel for him
