Here’s a post I did not expect to be writing.

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON won the Golden Globe last night as the Best Drama of 2022!
It was, of course, an honor just to be nominated, but I never expected we would win.

Ep 1- “I want to fly with you on dragonback, see the great wonders across the Narrow Sea, and eat only cake.” -Rhaenyra to Alicent

Ep 5- “Let us leave it all behind and see the world together…In Essos, you could marry me.” -Criston Cole to Rhaenyra

Interesting how #Rhaenyra was willing to leave King’s Landing to be with #Alicent but rejected the same idea initiated by Ser Criston Cole

There are definitely some unresolved feelings between the two which could be central to future peace talks in Westeros

#HouseOfTheDragon

The page ripped was from a book titled ‘Ten Thousand Ships’ about the warrior queen #Nymeria

@HBO is currently developing a series based on the contents of that book

[the Dance of DRAGONS @HOTD_Lore]

“Queen Alicent has not forgotten the love you once had for each other”

#Alicent kept the page Rhaenyra ripped for 20 years and sent it with #Otto Hightower to demonstrate a peace offering

“No blood need be spilled, so the realm can carry on in peace.”

To avoid violence and contention, thousands of Lords of Westeros were invited to Harrenhal, the largest castle in The Seven Kingdoms, where they deliberated for 13 days between the claimants

The Lords overwhelmingly chose Viserys

In #FireandBlood, the Great Council of 101AC saw 14 claims to the throne to determine the succession of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen but the main ones being:

- #Viserys Targaryen, the eldest son of Prince Baelon
And
- #Laenor Velaryon, grandson of Prince Aemon

#HouseOfTheDragon

[the Dance of DRAGONS @HOTD_Lore]

Both of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen’s eldest sons Prince Aemond and Prince Baelon died young, creating debate over succession to the Iron Throne.

@HOTDNewsHBO Two-handed Jamie lannister

[the Dance of DRAGONS @HOTD_Lore]

“When the babe at last came forth, she proved indeed a monster: a stillborn girl, twisted and malformed, with a hole in her chest where her heart should have been, and a stubby, scaled tail.

The dead girl had been named Visenya.” #FireandBlood

Are all #Targaryens part dragon?🤔

Which side are you on after House of the Dragon: Season 1??

In Fire & Blood, it was an unchosen daughter of Lord Borros Baratheon named Maris who sent Aemond in a rage to chase Lucerys

“Was it one of your eyes he took, or one of your balls? I am so glad you chose my sister. I want a husband with all his parts.” -F&B

Aemond didn’t forget how Alicent defended him the night he lost his eye

“There is a debt to be paid. I shall have one of her son’s eyes in return.” -Alicent Ep. 7

“I want you to put out your eye…as payment for mine. I’d like to make a gift of it for my mother.” -Aemond Ep. 10

[the Dance of DRAGONS @HOTD_Lore]

“And with his death, the war of ravens and envoys and marriage pacts came to an end, and the war of fire and blood began in earnest.”
-Fire & Blood

“Watchers on the castle saw distant bursts of flame…Then the two beasts were locked together.

Vhagar was five times the size of her foe, the hardened survivor of a hundred battles. If there was a fight, it could not have lasted long.” #FireandBlood

I’m Queen Rhaenyra now.

And you all are traitors to the realm.
