Cus on one hands it’s their dragon. But also… they’re usually really young when the dragon hatches, so do the parents do it for them…?

There’s no real info on his parents and he wasn’t born until after the doom. To my knowledge there are no other dragons throughout history even remotely built like him. It says he was born in the dragonpit.. but from what exactly?

Like it feels like some Modern AU name someone came up for their OC Targaryen Child then an actual name a Targaryen would have in universe

I was reading some comments lately and amount of hatred was just too much. So I wonder…

Why do Team Black (TB) fans consider themselves morally superior to Team Green (TG) fans in House of the Dragon when, at the end of the day, both sides seem to represent exactly the same values? The same insults, the same fanaticism, the same hatred, the same hostility towards anyone who dares to disagree with them.

How can one group claim to have the moral high ground while engaging in the very same behaviour they criticize in the other? Condemning toxicity while simultaneously practicing it doesn't make you better. Supporting a different fictional faction doesn't automatically make you more ethical, more reasonable, or morally superior.

It's a fictional show, yet some fans seem incapable of separating their loyalty to a fictional side from their own sense of morality. If both sides have fans who rely on insults, blind loyalty, hate, and double standards, then what exactly makes one morally superior to the other?

You cannot preach morality while refusing to practice it. And being Team Black doesn't automatically make you a better person than being Team Green.

Your thoughts?

With how the writing and story has progressed, I now realise that the best thing about this show is its casting.

Both the young, and older versions of main characters, and off course Otto, Viserys & Daemon - each was perfectly cast.

In light of the Season 2 & 3, and the likely predictions for 4th season (Alicent killing Aegon and ruling after), I really don't have any hope for this show improving.

It saddens me that the producers ruined a story that I, and many others, loved.

Just wondering why after spending so much time inventing this huge world does he let the tv writers make stupid decisions that dilute the story and make a mockery of his story telling? Surely he could have a contract that makes it impossible for them to rewrite his work.

As it is said in the books, Dreamfyre became furious in the Dragonpit after Helaena's death...In the third season we didn't get a glimpse of that, could we get a glimpse at the beginning of the fourth?Or perhaps a mention of her fierce behavior.

Daemon had four known kids that survived to see adulthood: Baela, Rhaena, Aegon, and Viserys.​

Baela and Rhaena were his first children and twins. One was named Baela (from the same root as Baelon), and the other Rhaena (from the same root as Rhaenyra).

Recently, I've been thinking about the shared names of his children with Rhaenyra, suggesting that Rhaenyra wanted to take the name Aegon from Alicent and her family.

Viserys, on the other hand, could be a way to honor his father/brother and perhaps a sign that Daemon has resolved his inner conflicts/made peace with himself.

Baela/Baelon/Baleor are common names with shared origins, like Rhaenyra/Rhaena/Rhaenys. But the fact that he gave his firstborn a female version of the same name, especially after calling his deceased nephew a "one-night heir" and causing a rift with his brother, makes us think about Daemon and his behavior during that period.

This was also the period when rumors about him and Rhaenyra spread, followed by his exile, and when he ignored them and fled to Essos.

Now, the use of different versions of these frequently used names may not seem shocking, but it's no coincidence that the names of Daemon's two main problems match the names he gave to his firstborn children. makes us think about Daemon and his behavior during that period.

In Westeros, assuming no abdication, every queen mother would also be a queen dowager. However, not every queen dowager is necessarily a queen mother, as she might have no children or none of her children have inherited the throne.

In the Green case, Alicent is both but the Greens predominantly refer to her as the queen dowager. Why identify Alicent through her relationship with Viserys when calling her queen mother would serve their political narrative better since that title is contingent on her child being the reigning monarch.

And I’m tired of people pretending otherwise 🫩
(Mostly going off F&B bc the show is honestly unwatchable after this season)

She didn’t burn him to a crisp when they met because he had more audacity than fear.
She chased a rat-sized dragon in a pitch black storm because the boy had a vendetta.
She body slammed 2 dragons and 2 riders with her and hers, tearing apart one dragon, charring its rider, and mutilating the other 2 in the process while her and Aemond were barely scratched.
Those two committed a months-long genocide out of spite.
They literally die locked together into the waters of Gods eye. Aemond’s skeleton was found chained to her still.

Vhagar doesn’t do it because she’s a “old grandma going deaf and blind who mistakes aemond for visenya” she does it because she’s almost 2 centuries old and what Aemond wants is what she was made to do.

The Alicent we deserved. Idc what anyone says. The ‘bastard blood shed at war’ Alicent is far superior to the Rhaenicent foolishness we got.

I just finished watching Season 3, Episode 8, and it got me wondering: who do you think is the most hated character in the series?

I was re-watching the scene of the assault on the fortress and I noticed a striking detail when comparing it to the ASOIAF books and the story of A Dance with Dragons.

In this scene, Daemon and Caraxes are ready to set fire to the gates. Spotting a group of children standing right at the entrance, armed with wooden swords, Daemon literally takes a second to shout at them: “Get out of the way! Move!” so that they run off before he unleashes the blast of flame.

Now think of the Greens and Lord Ormund Hightower during his campaign. In the lore, the Hightowers and the lords of the Green faction did not hesitate to deploy or use human shields on fortifications or ramparts, placing the civilian population and the most vulnerable on the front line to deter the dragon riders or force them to commit massacres.

Daemon has a reputation for being a sadist and the ‘Rogue Prince’ himself, but at this moment he is showing more moral fibre and mercy than Ormund did throughout the entire war.

Daemon: He warns the child servants/squires to move away from the gate so that Caraxes does not incinerate them.

Ormund Hightower: He strategically chooses to place innocent people on the ramparts as cannon fodder against the Blacks.

The Maesters’ propaganda insists on portraying Daemon as a heartless monster, but the tactical and moral reality on both sides tells a completely different story that many refuse to admit.

Always wondered if Rhaenys would still be alive if she listened to Daemon. Can't help but think she would have been the Queen's new hand if they pulled that off.

so after aenys died visenya and vhagar went to pentos to bring back maegor to westros where he took over and became king . what other kind of disaster do you think would happen . i am sure aegon uncrowned would become king . but the faith were not fond of him due to his marrage with rhaena . so would the faith try something stupid and get themselves into a civil war or would aegon rule mess up everything ..

after dance of dragons jaehaera was married to aegon 3 to unite the blacks and greens . so what if jaehaera was not thrown off maegors and killed . in this scenario jaehaera remains as aegon 3 queen . how many things do you think would change if jaehaera was helping aegon 3 rule over westros . just like how jaehaerys 1 was supported by his wife ..

It looks so stupid. I hate it.

Its so frustrating all costumes in the show are all in all fine, some are better some are worse but they are fine.

Its been 4 years since s1 and I am still not over it.

It looks like Halloween costume jewelry, I have seen Aegons Crown as a Halloween accessory and it looks 1:1 identically.

It has such a simple description in the books "A circlet of Valyrian steel, set with big square-cut rubies.".

And it has how many rubies in the books? One. One small ruby that looks glued on.

The valyrian steel part of the crown also looks off but that it only has one ruby is so weird, because there are so many empty spots in the crown where rubies are supposed to be.

Jaehaeryses crown looks amazing.

Daemons weird Narrowsea Crown looks cool.

Why does the most important crown in the entire story look cheap.
