#rhaena targaryen

[drakaripykiros130ac]

There is a constant idea flowing about that the Greens are entitled to take the throne in order to protect themselves.

First of all, they didn’t take the throne to protect themselves. They did it because they wanted power (Otto and Alicent Hightower, at least).

Secondly: What about the Blacks? Aren’t they entitled to the same thing?

Had the Greens taken the throne without any protest from the Blacks, do you imagine that they would have all lived in peace, happily ever after?

No. Rhaenyra’s family would have been assassinated one way or another.

1. Rhaenyra is the chosen heir, and direct kin to the Arryns, who also have a woman at the helm (Jeyne Arryn), not to mention that she has lords who had sworn fealty to her. She has more than any princess before her ever did. It’s hard to imagine the Greens sleeping soundly knowing all the support that Rhaenyra could receive should she decide to change her mind one day.

2. Her husband, Daemon, is the most feared man in the Realm, with a special kind of hatred for Hightowers, who holds plenty of influence with the smallfolk, basically controls the City Watch, wields Dark Sister, is a seasoned warrior and possesses a unique dragon, Caraxes. He would be the first of the Blacks the Greens would target. Daemon is the protector. He’s Rhaenyra’s shield. Without him, everyone else in the family would be vulnerable.

3. Their sons, Aegon and Viserys, would always pose a threat to the usurper, because of their pure Targaryen lineage. There would very well be lords arguing that Aegon the Younger is the rightful heir to the throne.

4. The Velaryons, as the greatest power in the Realm, commanding the largest fleets, would always remain closely tied to Daemon and Rhaenyra through the marriages between Jacaerys and Baela as well as Lucerys and Rhaena.

Either Jacaerys or Lucerys would have become the next Lord of Driftmark, which would certainly complicate matters. And with the constant rumors about the parentage of Jacaerys, Lucerys and Joffrey, they would have been in most danger of losing their lives without any consequences following.

Rhaenyra has just as much right to protect her family.

Regardless of what you all imagine in your fanfics, the Blacks and the Greens would have never been able to live in peace. There is too much discord and hatred between the two factions. It’s either one or the other.

And at the end of the Dance, only one family was left standing: the Blacks.

The dance of the dragons isn’t about Hightowers vs Targaryens. It’s Targaryen vs Targaryen. It’s a civil war within one house.

Team black and team green both show sides of the different dynamics in House Targaryen.

There are Targaryens who are functional but also dysfunctional. They are Targaryens who are kind and peaceful but there are also others who are ambitious and crave for power. They are Targaryens who have dragons and some that don’t. They are still a Targaryen at the end.

There are Targaryens who marry their siblings/relatives and there are some who don’t. Some love each other and some don’t. There are Targaryens who kill each others blood and there are some that don’t. There are Targaryens who are timid and others who are fearless. They are still Targaryen at the end.

These are the characteristics that make house Targaryen. Both team black and team green have them.

So just because team black is seen as a functional family while team green isn’t as much. That doesn’t make team green any less Targaryen just because they have Hightower blood in them.

If Rhaenyra had accepted the Green's terms in episode 10 Daemon would have taken the kids and flee to Essos. Mark my words.

“Morning” sounding like “mourning” just…destroys me. But despite the latter being a more appropriate name for a dragon—a name that could represent all that was lost—the former was chosen because Rhaena Targaryen looked at her dragon with hope instead of grief.

And maybe there was grief, maybe there was. But there was also hope.

There was hope for a new dawn.

Petition for all team Black and team Green fans to not be at each other's throats this upcoming season, and instead, we all just root for our favorite war criminals in peace? And normalize liking characters from each team and just have a preference on teams? Because that sounds like a fun time to me, thank you 🫶

“Lady Rhaena of House Targaryen, brave Baela’s twin, had brought a dragon’s egg with her to the Vale...an egg that had proved fertile, bringing forth a pale pink hatchling with black horns and crest. Rhaena named her Morning.”
