#all of rhaenyra’s kids were willing to fight and die for their family

[daenerysies]

“alicent making homophobic remarks the night of laena’s funeral isn’t cool considering laenor was shown to be heavily grieving his sister and didn’t deserve to be attacked during it (not to mention it was an obvious ploy on alicent’s part to divert attention from her committing literal treason).”

“b-bUT WHAT ABOUT DAEMON AND RHAENYRA FUCKING-“

i’m not gonna lie i don’t particularly care that they had sex that night. was it disrespectful? for sure. did it harm anyone for them to do it? it, in fact, did not. two consenting adults having sex away from prying eyes and keeping to themselves < an entitled boy purposely calling a girl at her mother’s funeral (whom he had never interacted with before) a pig and ridiculing her grief. laena’s storyline was cut short because the writers decided she wasn’t important enough to make into a proper character that isn’t at the mercy of other characters (it’s something i’m forever going to be salty about, daemon and rhaenyra loved her with all their hearts and were absolutely devastated when she passed) but out of those two scenarios who do you think she would be more upset with?

the people who bring this up in retaliation cannot handle alicent taking any criticism whatsoever. in all honesty i wouldn’t even care if her fans would just say ‘yeah, it was shitty. don’t really care though.’ it would at least save me the time of reading think piece after think piece on why alicent deserved to get her lick back against rhaenyra for her lot in life (caused by otto and viserys) by focusing on her pain rather than her son’s. these are the same people who try to claim that most of rhaenyra’s children and step children secretly hate her, due to wanting ‘complex and nuanced relationships’ to occur (they actually also can’t handle that rhaenyra was a great mom all around to all of her kids, and that maybe they need to be focusing those feelings on the green kids with their parents instead). let’s be serious for just one moment: it makes more sense that the children who were neglected by one parent and abused by the other having complicated familial feelings than children who were (for the most part) raised in a relatively stable and loving environment.

#house of the dragon #rhaenyra targaryen #daemon targaryen #pro team black #anti team green #anti team green stans #anti alicent hightower #the ‘relatively stable’ environment comment is bc of alicent and criston’s abuse against the velaryon boys #i blame the writers entirely for these shit takes #‘the conqueror trio secretly hated each other’ #‘the team black kids secretly hate each other’ #‘all of rhaenyra’s kids secretly hated her’ #sounds like an allergy to let anyone you dislike have healthy family dynamics #have you all ever thought that maybe the kids who have horrible parents secretly hate each other? #be so fr you want the greens to be a happy-go-lucky #striving to beat the odds family #when that’s literally daemyra’s blended family #CANONICALLY #their parallel’s are the starks for a reason #i’m fine with people saying that maybe there’s some resentment building up but outright hate? #delusional #all of rhaenyra’s kids were willing to fight and die for their family #can the greens say the same?
