The Amount Of Gwayne Fans Who Dislike Criston Is Killing Me…. 😡😡😡

The only thing that’s keeping me from stopping watching the show is Daeron.The more they talk about him during the episodes,the more they mention his name,the way they said that he's kind and loyal,that he has a dragon and that he's ready to fight,are the only things that i care about.

This new season,for me,is slow and boring asf,i've lost the count of how many times i check how long the episodes are going to last because i can't take it anymore.Thankfully there are only two more to come out and then it's over.

writers do better.

i think the daeron talk between alicent and gwayne is my biggest win this episode

Gonna be so normal about Aegon's little frat boy gang that somehow obediently sits at his feet while he is cuntily lounging on the throne.... their names are Martyn Reyne, Eddard Waters and Leon Estermont btw....

“He was fond of me”

“And I of him”

If the writers of House of The Dragon keep gaslighting the audience into thinking Viserys was anything better than a powerful man who stole a young girls future, dreams and physical body in the quest for a son he will never love, I will riot

Love that we can say this now without getting de@th threats

it’s honestly very frustrating to try and see people paint alicent as some sort of karen and rhaenyra as some sort of feminist icon. newsflash: none of the women in this show are feminists. AND THAT IS OKAY!! we’re looking at a story that predates those sort of progressive ideals and it’s not fair to hold either character to such a modern standard.

rhaenyra is out for herself and for her own claim, she’s not fighting for the right of all women to sit the iron throne. this is pretty clearly spelled out for us when she tells rhaenys that baela and jacerys’ sons will inherit the iron throne. but this isn’t a criticism of rhaenyra, she’s a woman living in an incredibly oppressive time, and while it could make for a great story, it should not be her responsibility to fight for the hypothetical claims of other women. as the the legitimate heir to the throne, her only concern should be fighting to take back her crown from the usurper.

as for alicent, she can really only cling to two things: duty/honor and trying to protect her children. her whole life has been nothing but miserable. losing her mother, being pawned off to viserys by her own father, being forced to have four children while she was still a child herself. and in the aftermath of all this, she’s lost her best friend and one true love. so of course she’s bitter and resentful, and of course she’s so preoccupied with duty. all she’s done since she was 14 years old is give and give, and it’s been rotten, thankless work.

it’s pretty easy to understand why both of these women are the way they are, and to acknowledge their deep complexity. sometimes it feels like people are being willfully obtuse in order to stay loyal to their respective “teams”, and I know it’s not that deep and the end of the day, but it’s still very frustrating.

viserys : marries a 14yo without her consent, has 4 children with her that pose a threat to rheanyra's reign and will be killed once she takes the throne, refuses to change his heir or marry his firstborn daughter to his firstborn son to prevent a succession crisis, neglects his children, doesn't prepare his chosen heir for her role and ignores her mistakes, doesn't even try to make peace, appoints his son's grandfather as his hand knowing damn well that he wants his grandson on the throne and allows him to take control of the capitol, thinks that one dinner solves 20 years of hatred, dies

the dance of the dragon : happens

TB stans : this is all alicent's fault! and if you disagree then you hate women.

Rip Jaime Lannister you would have loved to practice diplomacy by getting a traumatic brain injury from fist fighting the tallest blonde woman in Essos but the fates picked Tyland, who hates it so so bad

Daeron fans finding out that Show!Daeron plays the lute:

i don't smoke for the obvious reasons of not wanting to develop an addiction to nicotine but god do i so often feel the emotion 'i need a cigarette'.
