Thinking about poor, doomed Young Griff and how it’s not even important if he is or isn’t Rhaegar’s real son. Because what makes him a fake goes beyond blood - it’s really down to intent and experience. He’s a poor rich man’s Aegon V, but like without the organic hero’s journey.

He’s a lab experiment pretty much. However well intentioned he is, there isn’t much indication that his journey has been authentic. Varys and Illyrio are trying to recreate Aegon V with a fake...literally down to the “let’s hide his hair” scheme. They even gave the boy Aegon’s freaking name (it’s a king’s name after all so I can’t blame them). But they missed like the biggest, most important lesson of all. Aegon V CHOSE to go out. HE made himself, no one else did. His journey was organic as it was derived out of his own autonomous decisions, not manufactured down to the smallest detail (does YG really know what it means to starve and be homeless and hunted?). And there was no promise of a reward (I.e., kingship). Egg didn’t know that he’d be king and even after his dad rose to the throne, there were a ton of people ahead of him. FFS he’s called Aegon the Unlikely. Bro just woke up one day and was like “ay wouldn’t it be nice to actually experience this realm from the perspective of a disenfranchised person?”

Meanwhile, our poor Young Griff is being made to go through all this with the expectation that it’s all going to pay off when he becomes king. BUT (big but!), who’s to say that he actually gets it? Like does he really get why he needs to see how this horrible feudalistic society preys on the smallfolk and makes corpses out of them? Wait, does he even know or recognize that the system needs changing? Like did Varys and Illyrio just tell him “people poor” and leave it at that? Why are they poor Young Griff? How did they get there?! Do Varys and Illyrio even get it? Do they understand that Aegon V was a radical change maker?

How hollow is it that it’s not Young Griff making the conscious decision to actually try and see how his subjects live. He’s not making the conscious decision to be a change maker, no matter what Varys and Illyrio say. People in this fandom will talk about how Young Griff will be the perfect king but…perfect for whom? In what way? In a series that critiques this entire system, what about YG screams that he’s going to actually tackle some of the systemic issues that need tackling - the systemic issues that Aegon V tried to tackle after organically going through his own journey?

WELLLLL….isn’t it cool that Jon and Dany are the true heirs to Aegon V’s legacy not because of blood, but because they actually get to the heart of Aegon V’s journey? Say what you want about them but they are radical as it gets (Jon at the Wall and Dany all over Slaver’s Bay). No one manufactured them. No one told them they had to care about people. No one told them they had to do this lab experiment to become king/queen. They actually did their own thing, while themselves being disenfranchised (GRRM identifies both as outsiders). And without the expectation of a reward (like Jon is literally told that his entire life will basically amount to nothing).

And it’s even better that they were unlikely. Young Griff is meant to happen - well someone is pulling the strings to make sure he works. He’s taking the role of someone who was always meant to be king - for Rhaegar’s son was meant to be king. But Jon and Dany are actually following the Aegon V blueprint because they weren’t meant to happen. Jon is a second son who is presumably a bastard with a contentious claim, and Dany is a daughter who was never meant to survive being sold off to slavery let alone rise to queenship. Neither one of them was meant to be on the throne. No one told them to do the things they did. No one took them and placed them in the positions they’re in. They rose to the occasion by themselves and made changes by their own volition - just as it was with Aegon V. And what makes it even better is that just as Aegon V was chosen to be king, so were Jon and Dany (Jon was literally elected into office and basically won over the wildlings while Dany was dubbed “mhysa” because of her actions in Slaver’s Bay).

#asoiaf #jon snow #daenerys targaryen #young griff #aegon v targaryen #varys #illyrio mopatis #valyrianscrolls #my stuff #like they took an imposter and were like let’s recreate this cool king from decades ago #wasn’t it nice how he cared about people and stuff?#how we actually journeyed among the smallfolk and lived among them and directly experienced what it means to be disenfranchised?#yeahhhh let’s do that…..but we won’t do it organically #meanwhile prince in hiding jon snow doesn’t even know he’s a prince in hiding #he gains power and is just like yeah isn’t it cool to be nice to people and give them basic human decency?! let’s do that from now on #and he has zero expectation for a reward - like he KNOWS that the only reward he’ll get is at best being forgotten at worse infamy and death #dany literally sees people being slaves and is like that sucks ☹️ lemme do something about it #and she DID #she freaking did #like I’ve always felt that we’re not going to get on page confirmation that Aegon is a fake #because it’s not about that #it’s about a boy whose been forced to wear boots that don’t fit #so he’s tap dancin and tap dancin until he can’t anymore and dies #Dany doesn’t need to be YG’s undoing #YG all be his own undoing and that’s more interesting from a character level #the lesson isn’t ohh he’s not the hero because he doesn’t have the right blood #y’all I could go on and on like!!!

I will never, NEVER, shut up about the parallels between Aegon V the Unlikely and Arya Stark. They’re two lost highborn kids using fake names, who had their hairs cut to hide themselves among others, and were taken in by a tall knight (Sandor Clegane and Duncan the Tall), traveling Westeros with them, learning about the common folk and gathering a better understanding of their struggles because they also suffered them.

Both experienced cruelty and hunger and pain and distress and hopelessness at a young age, and it shaped them and made them unlike other highborn children. Both were completely aware of how bad things truly were for the smallfolk. Both were considered unlikely to rule at first because one was the fourth son of a fourth son, and the other the second daughter of a second son and a woman. You’re telling me those parallels aren’t intentional to tell us Arya is going to be Queen in the North and a good ruler who can help with smallfolk policy reforms, just like Aegon V did?

Alicent: Stop it! Rhaenyra: Stop what? Alicent: You've named another of your spawn like my son! Joke's on you. Because I figured out you made another only to offend me. Ha! Rhaenyra: Yeah. That's what we did. In our very limited free time, we went and got a nanny to keep any eye on our five living kids, fucked like rabbits to add another one to the collection, picked only the positions most likely to produce a son and once he was born, we went through all Valyrian names and chose the most common one in our family just because it will be shared with your kid. [Rhaenyra to the camera] Rhaenyra: Yup. That's exactly what we did.

targaryens that would ride sunfyre

1. aegon ii (canon)

2. daena the defiant (never seen without a golden dragon pendant. everyday is a runway.)

3. aerion brightflame (the brightest clothes you can think of? he wore them brighter. had an egg that was gold and silver. insane.)

honorable mention:

*mad king aerys, before duskendale i believe he was within the sunfyre accepted levels of cunt.

#let’s pretend sunfyre lived.. in my head these guys are top tier sunfyre riders. there’s an archetype i just don’t have words for it #might do this for vermax too i have thoughts on him… and like caraxes #guava.txt #asoiaf #fire and blood #house targaryen #sunfyre #dragonposting #daemon blackfyre is a rider of caraxes. i might elaborate on this #i was so conflicted on adding mad king aerys to this list but let’s be honest he might have the crazy but he’s not slay enough for sunfyre #the archetype was cunt. that’s what they all share.#i also thought abt shaera (aegon v’s daughter n da queen) but she screams syrax to me rather than sunfyre.

I realized when thinking about "The Village Hero" yesterday that F&B may actually help support my theory on what I think might happen in the story. I've long believed that "The Village Hero" will be a story about the newly succeeded Lord Otho Bracken and the Blackwoods going to war against each other over the Teats and the village of Pennytree. Because we know Pennytree has been a royal fief for roughly a century by the time of the main novels, I think "The Village Hero" will end with Dunk and Egg not only successfully defending Pennytree from the attacks but overseeing and negotiating the transfer of Pennytree away from both Stone Hedge and Raventree Hall and to the Iron Throne as its direct suzerain. What I did not realize, however, is how F&B provides a handy legal framework to justify this decision:

Aegon’s chief concern was peace. Before the Conquest, wars between the realms of Westeros were common. Hardly a year passed without someone fighting someone somewhere. Even in those kingdoms said to be at peace, neighboring lords oft settled their disputes at swordpoint. Aegon’s accession put an end to much of that. Petty lords and landed knights were now expected to take their disputes to their liege lords and abide by their judgments. Arguments between the great houses of the realm were adjudicated by the Crown. “The first law of the land shall be the King’s Peace,” King Aegon decreed, “and any lord who goes to war without my leave shall be considered a rebel and an enemy of the Iron Throne.”

While F&B did not introduce the concept of "the king's peace" altogether - the concept having been discussed since AGOT - that book did formally codify "the King's Peace" as "[t]he first law of the land" and provided specific consequences for its violation. That specific legal basis might in turn give our Prince Aegon the royal authority to follow in his namesake's footsteps in "The Village Hero". If the Brackens and Blackwods had refused to take their dispute to young Lord Tully or the Iron Throne itself (as Septon Sefton had foretold they likely would not), but had gone to war against one another, then they might well be considered "rebel[s] and [enemies] of the Iron Throne". Since rebels against the Iron Throne are often subject to loss of property, it might in turn be fitting for a royal representative (especially Egg, who at the end of "The Mystery Knight" had openly embraced his identity as a Targaryen prince) to declare that neither the Brackens nor the Blackwoods, as rebels against the Iron Throne, could have any right to Pennytree any longer. Consequently, Bloodraven might not be able to do very much to protest the move; however much he might have favored his Blackwood cousins, it might seem difficult to argue against applying "[t]he first law of the land" if both factions had gone to war without even attempting to seek the intervention of Riverrun or the Iron Throne.

There may even be a reference to The Accursed Kings here (I know, it me). One of the major points of dissension between what we might call the "progressive" faction of the Capetian court (represented by Enguerrand de Marigny and the future Philip V) and what Maurice Druon terms the "reactionary barons" is the right to "private war" between the barons - the right, as the author puts it, for aristocrats ‘to fight each other, to ride, to come and go, and to carry arms”. This right was, according to Druon, abolished by Philip IV "so as to prevent the great vassals from causing bloodshed, at the slightest excuse, within the kingdom in order to regulate their differences, establish their glory, or banish their boredom", and while Philip V does not directly comment upon it, his reign as described by Druon saw the king "[avoid] the temptations of war ... [suppress] many of the garrisons in the interior of the country", and prioritize "justice and peace" (and in turn, at his death the "reactionary barons" are triumphant, eager to "talk of a crusade again" among other rights denied them by Philip the Long). With Philip V a very clear inspiration for Aegon V, it might be fitting for our Egg to protest such a private war between Stone Hedge and Raventree Hall, foreshadowing his own reign as one which will focus on "justice and peace" against his own set of "reactionary barons".

i am extremely fucking tired of people solely blaming alicent for aegon like he didn’t have a fucking decrepit, irresponsible r**ist fuckwad deadbeat for a father. vise rys is at LEAST equally but actually more responsible for aegon turning out the way he is because the man is a fucking deadbeat to children he had no problem *making* and it’s incredibly transparent of people to act like it’s all alicent’s fault. like truly knowing it all or not, it’s equally bad because he was still being a fucking deadbeat and should’ve paid attention to his kids but too many of the people who watch this show act like alicent is the devil for not personally beheading her son or something. /sigh

#tbd #anti viserys i targaryen #pro alicent hightower #alicent hightower defense squad #sorry but they made vise rys extra disgusting but also expect you to feel like he's a good man #like where were your morals and your 'my ownnnlly child' sentiments when you were regularly r-wording and impregnating someone who was #a literal child when this started #people will look at the 15 year old and genuinely act like she brought this upon herself #like good king v i serys isn't total scum for even going there with a girl as young as alicent #sorry but as far as the show is concerned esp #her motivation could literally be i want to burn vis erys and everything he cared about to the ground and i'd still support her bc #like how do u watch how the show portrays this dynamic and not conclude that she is 100% the victim here #even if u hate alicent can you stop being so fucking disgusting about the wretched bc #*the wretched situation she is in #that man was fucking foul towards his children and his parental neglect is definitely a far bigger reason for why aegon is so fucked up #anyway i just think alicent should've smothered that crypt keeper looking motherfucker while he was sleeping #(before book clowns come at me i am a book clown)#doesn't matter the show made it like that and people look at how the show made it and then say the most disgusting things about alicent.#they also act like she did nothing but she did not do nothing. she did the best she could.#and people comparing vis erys to ned stark like ned would EVER be disgusting enough to do that with a child #fandom wank #tw rape

I think the madam will play the role of Gaemon's mother

i think the white-haired child shown in the fighting pits is supposed to be gaemon. so it remains to be seen if the madam is actually his mother, since she doesn't seem to have any connection to the pits. sylvenna is supposed to be dornish so idk. maybe they will retcon the child ser erryk indicated or make him another of aegon's bastards and not gaemon

#ask #anon #hotd speculation #how funny would it be if aegon made aemond lose his v card with the mother of his bastard #polyandry king aegon #aegond
