I love these womens. But the adaptations really ruined them.

Give me back the Daenerys, Rhaenyra, Rhaenys, Laena, Baela, Rhaena and Helaena Targaryen of the books...

They made Daenerys a final villain due to some madness out of nowhere.

They made Rhaenyra passive and dislike her womanhood (experiencing a random violence from her husband).

They tried to make Rhaenys a pseudo wise figure who doesn't want war when in the book she was the one who wanted to go to war with the dragons, not Daemon.

Laena literally died as a result of giving birth to Daemon's stillborn son (like many women of the era that inspired Fire and Blood), and took her last breath trying to join Vaghar in flying a last time. She was also Rhaenyra's best friend and generally had a visibly happy marriage with Daemon while it lasted, even if it wasn't true love. And how does the series handle this ? Laena is not Rhaenyra's best friend, this role is given to Alicent. Laena and Daemon have a marriage that works but also seems to have problems, and above all, she is burned alive by her dragon... As if that was more badass than facing childbirth I guess ?

They made Baela's look super generic even though she is a tomboy in the book, she actually has short hair in reality, plus they tried to change her into a mini Laena when Baela has always been a female version of her father Daemon.

Rhaena is literally the last dragon rider until Daenerys and she has almost no dialogue, her only personality trait that stands out is that she has relationship problems with Daemon due to her lack of a dragon which she therefore wants to fill, whereas in the book, these two never had a problem and what's more, Daemon himself didn't have a dragon before claiming Caraxes during his adolescence, so it makes no sense that the lack of Rhaena's dragon causes relationship problems between them. They therefore make Rhaena yet another gratuitous victim of men.

Even Helaena had potential according to the book. Clearly a big mouth.

But the misogynist sources weren't interested in Helaena or her personality. And what did the show do with it ? Well almost never made her speak except to deliver stupid prophecies because they thought it would be a good thing to make her a dreamer...

Kill me.

But this edit is still fabulous.

Rhaena Targaryen with her Dragon Egg

Finally got Rhaena’s portrait done! I am so happy with this one and I think it’s my favorite so far. The sea themed flower crown is my favorite thing ever and it turned out so cute! For her hair, I wanted to find a dread lock style that is similar in shape to her show one but is less bulky and allows more expression. The baby hairs and hair jewelry were all inspired by the hair style I found and they fit Rhaena so well! Her outfit is inspired by renaissance German dress as it’s reminiscent of Laena’s Venetian dress while looking appropriate for the Vale’s cold climate.

In a week I’ll post the poll for the gents! I’ll draw the top 5 selected.

Rhaena Targaryen, the last dragon rider, and the last Targaryen woman I have left to draw. I went over all of the portraits I have done of the Targaryen women and I am so emotional, my art style has changed multiple times and I also saw huge development in my composition. It had been such a lovely journey

Two young lovers with one heartbeat In their devoted grave is where they'll sleep They are the passion in a city of hate Watching two families quarrel, ruining lover's fate

THE HUNGER GAMES APPRECATION WEEK → day 2: quotes/lyrics

"Therefore sing now / while you have the choice [...] / or you will drift as I do / from head to head / swollen with words you never said / swollen with hoarded love. / I exist in two places, / here and where you are." - Corpse Song by Margaret Atwood [insp]

Once his mourning had run its course, the king moved swiftly to resolve the long-simmering issue of the succession. Disregarding the precedents set by King Jaehaerys in 92 and the Great Council in 101, King Viserys I declared his daughter Rhaenyra to be his rightful heir, and named her Princess of Dragonstone. In a lavish ceremony at King’s Landing, hundreds of lords did obeisance to Rhaenyra as she sat at her father’s feet at the base of the Iron Throne, swearing to honor and defend her right of succession.

A now-familiar sadness crossed his features, followed by a masculine hunger. “You’re so different,” he murmured, still touching her. Studying her as if memorizing her.
