@Bridgetrso I think part of it was being traumatised by what he did to Aemma. He killed her brutally for the chance of a male heir and couldn't live with that. Aegon was in fact the male heir he could no longer face, instead he chose the child he had with Aemma, maybe to feel less guilty.

@Jadeeslike He cared about Sansa too. He had a soft spot for both of them, though he'd never say it.

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@Aurora_verdit He didn't want to, but they forced him. Then he lost everything, and at some point decided not to die as the coward he was before then, but to stand up and fight. If you continue to push someone relentlessly, they can fight back at some point. He had no choice.

@gulaaab__ Her story was even used to create a law to dictate no woman can ever rule the Seven Kingdoms again. Everything she fights for (to be recognised, to claim her birthright and be the true queen) is lost.

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@gulaaab__ It's not necessarily Stannis' take though. Rhaenyra was never recognised as queen in the history books. She was noted down as the usurper, and Aegon as the rightful king. Even when later her bloodline gets back on the throne, they don't correct this to keep the peace.

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@Kamalfalilat Yes, she's much softer in the series

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@doktordoof Rhaenyra went into history as the usurper, Aegon as the rightful King. She wasn't noted down as queen, only princess. They even used her reign to pass a law that would forbid women to rule for centuries. Her legacy was destroyed entirely.

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@Aurora_verdit He didn't believe it, and he didn't want it. He literally says Rhaenyra should rule when they fetch him after Viserys died, he's dragged to his coronation kicking and screaming. He had no wish to usurp her, he was forced, and once he was on it, he had no choice but to fight.

@Jadeeslike What are we talking about here 😭 Vhagar would munch any kid, she's a dragon ffs.

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@quantiquie He's not childless in the book

[Aly @Allalooloo]

Wait a second....when Aegon asks his mother if she loves him, she calls him imbecile. And when he finds Aemond at Harrenhall, and Aemond expects him to kill him, he calls him imbecile instead. This is just headcanon but what if this is his way of telling Aemond he loves him. 😭

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@sunfyresdelight Me too 😭

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@HidaDahFightah I (tg) think it's sad to realise the war partially started because Otto convinced Alicent Rhaenyra would kill her kids if she became Queen, convincing her to help him get Aegon on the throne. But I'm not at all sure Rhaenyra would have done that. So much could have been avoided!

@Kamalfalilat She really does 😭

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@bohnerrific69_ Nooo don't be sorry, I love diving into headcanons, I have them all the time haha! And I love seeing your posts. Peter is such an insecure sweetheart ❤️

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@fabledfool This is where Peter gets his from then 😍

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@fisherking360 This thought has been bothering me for so long, except for his children, I honestly don't think so. 💔😭

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@ZonaSeriesESP18 @kendallgrl Couldn't agree more

[Aly @Allalooloo]

@ZonaSeriesESP18 @kendallgrl In S1 she still does, but there's no explanation why she completely gives up on them in S2 and S3. She half tries with Helaena but even abandons Jaehaera like her family means nothing, and she actively tries to kill two of her sons. The transformation makes no sense.
