“Yet there was darkness in Visenya Targaryen. To most of the world, she presented the grim face of a warrior, stern and unforgiving. Even her beauty had an edge to it, her admirers said.”
my very personal headcanon of visenya having beef with baby aenys from the moment he was born, because in her eyes he was nothing like rhaenys. then rhaenys died, aenys grew up, tried to be like his mother and failed, which made things even worse
her struggle with her gender, the feeling of her being in power but also totally powerless, genuinely sincere advices she gives to sansa… then she seals it by saying yeah if KL falls i am killing us both. okay. mother
i am glad we have cersei pov, otherwise sansa’s last chapters in acok would devastate me for not being able to get into her head and dissect her brain. sansa is so strong because i would explode if she threw that much on me at once
@SandraSim16 they are prophetic dreams. they literally come true. why are we trying to remove the fantasy aspect from a fantasy series? also, there is nothing in my tweet that indicates them having magic makes them superior. they are just magical like starks.
i always wonder how do people who don’t believe in “the blood of the dragon myth” explain the dragon dreams. if there isn’t something special/magical involved with targaryens taming the dragons, what are these dreams then?
@InfAgyn i knew someone would write this when it’s clear from my wording that i am criticizing people who claim targaryens don’t have anything special/magical about them at all. i don’t care about people’s headcanons over dragon bonding; they are simply that, headcanons
my love for nedcat aside, i think the play’s portrayal of ned’s honor is more interesting than people’s assumptions about him and ashara in the books. people assume he trampled on his honor for love, and they aren’t wrong. his love for his family is stronger than his honor.+
@bryndensraven she is still unsure of herself after three seasons and i am frustrated by this. people can enjoy show’s take on rhaenyra’s character and i am totally fine with it. but i think i am also free to feel like they didn’t do a good job with her character.
@bryndensraven i don’t have any delusions about how good she was at ruling after they took the coin and killed her children. the problem for me is that they never let this woman get angry or cruel like she was in the book after all that loss. which is a part of her arc i would say.+
i once saw a tweet of someone who believed with absolute conviction that orys wasn’t aegon’s bastard brother but they were lovers so they let the rumor spread to keep their affair a secret. all i could think about was why would anyone believe being siblings would stop them
