#and Rhaenyra Truther

[asha-mage]

Am I currently trying to puzzle out the HotD timeline, and figure out everyone's age and the important events relative to each other like which dragons where hatched when? Maybe so.

Is this because I am thinking of writing a fanfic, about Aegon sneaking off to Dragonstone regularly in an effort to persuade Jace he's no threat to Rhaenyra's claim, and as a result accidentally joining the Blacks and throwing all of his grandfather's plans into chaos? Also maybe so.

#HotD #House of the Dragon #Aegon II #jacaerys velaryon #Aegon II Targaryen #HoTD Fanfic #look I used to hate Aegon II with a firey passion #Being a firm member of Team Black #and Rhaenyra Truther #But then the show went a meow moew-ified him #and what I am supposed to do? #NOT wrap him in a blanket? #It's not his fault that his sister and mom are exes and his mom is making that EVERYONE ELSE'S problem #including him

also i feel many people support the woman that they think is less "bitchy" or they will stan one of the male characters

#hotd #its so annoying i can only trust cersei truthers #i also think paddy is an exceptional actor who has brought so much depth to the character #but some people stan viserys for no reason other that he is with few exceptions balanced #they think that his persistence to keep rhaenyra as the heir is just because of love for his daughter #but its also because he would be going against his word scorn his daughter and anger the velaryons

If someone defends Rhaenyra’s usurpation because of tRaDiTiOn, they better be waving a Maegor banner proudly.

I��m being serious.

So many people in this fandom care about the tradition of Westerosi inheritance and act like yelling about it justifies team green’s actions. They never seem to take into consideration what it means.

This post is inspired by my allergy to inconsistency and hypocrisy. Here we go.

The only consistent tradition of Targaryen succession is the ruler choosing their own heir. Sometimes that aligned with Westerosi tradition, often it did not. And it started with the very first heir. So either you admit Maegor was the rightful heir over Aenys, or you admit he wasn’t because Aegon the Conqueror said so.

Let me explain.

Visenya was Aegon’s first wife. In Westerosi tradition, Rhaenys would be considered at best a mistress and her children out of the succession or, at the least, behind Visenya’s children. The lords accepted the validity of Aegon’s plural marriage because they didn’t have the power to oppose the Conquerors, simple as. Tradition didn’t matter in the face of dragons. It is not a genuine argument and hasn’t been since the creation of the Crown itself. House Targaryen’s exceptionalism went beyond incest and dragons from the start, and accepting Aenys as king shows the nobles accepted this when it was convenient.

So I’d like team green to be consistent. Is the king’s word law, a la Aegon choosing Aenys as his heir? Or is this a break from tradition that was only corrected when Maegor killed his nephew and took the throne?

It gets messy from here. Maegor, as we know, didn’t have a child, so he chose his great-niece, Aerea as his heir. Jaehaerys was still alive, he could’ve chosen him. Heck, that might’ve eased like a drop of the tension between him, Jaehaerys and Alyssa Velaryon. So if you’re a tradition truther, Maegor was the proper king but then chose an untraditional heir. Hmm.

Then we get to Jaehaerys, and a tradition truther might think YES, THAT’S OUR GUY. But he’s really not.

Yes, he stopped considering his eldest living child, Daenerys, as his heir after Aemon was born. But then Aemon died.

Aemon did, however, die with an heir. Her name was Rhaenys. In Westerosi tradition, she’d inherit after him, because a daughter inherits before a brother. Now, I know the lords do all sorts of things to circumvent this (see Alys Karstark), but that *is* Westerosi tradition.

Did Jaehaerys follow tradition? Nope. He picked his second oldest son, Baelon.

Some might say there are logical reasons for this. Baelon was a warrior, older, and had grown sons. Rhaenys was like 18, married to an ambitious lord not named Targaryen, and at risk of dying in childbirth (Baelon was named heir in 92, Rhaenys had her first child in 92). HOWEVER, we see with Jeyne Arryn becoming Lady of the Vale while still a *toddler* that Westerosi tradition doesn’t set aside claims merely because such concerns exist. In fact, in ASOIAF, some Lannister married an f-ing BABY to lay claim to her lands because *she* is the acknowledged inheritor.

You could argue that it matters more when it’s the Crown, and I’ll concede that while pointing out you’ve made my argument for me: isn’t that a good reason for the Crown to do what it wants instead of following traditions that hamstring it?

If you’re a tradition truther, however, you should be in a rage and insisting Rhaenys inherit, and you should be outraged by what was done to her at the Council of 101 after Baelon dies. Her claim wasn’t even considered, Laenor’s was—ya know, her toddler son who got his claim *through* her.

So then Viserys takes the throne and continues the Targaryen custom of choosing his heir. And the tradition truthers of the fandom rise up and boo, and they cry “duty and sacrifice! What about tradition!?”

Just admit that the lords of Westeros, Alicent, her merry band of greens, and the fans that make excuses for them didn’t and don’t care about tradition unless it suits them, and they only become vocal about it when a woman stands a good chance of inheriting over a man.

Viserys never wavered in his choice, the realm knew it and so did the greens. This is precisely why Rhaenyra had far more support than her brother, and why the argument that the realm wouldn’t accept her is bs. The realm DID accept her. Because they understood something many in this fandom struggle to

There was only one consistent tradition of royal succession between the Conquest and the Dance: the ruler chooses their heir.

#anti team green #anti alicent stans #say tradition one more time I dare you #the Targaryens answer to neither gods nor men hello #is the king’s word law or not #one time I asked a team green stan this on Twitter and got blocked so fast lmao #team black forever #Rhaenyra is the true queen deal with it

Rhaenicent sketch＿〆(。。)♡ I am in the trenches

Rhaenyra: Avy jorrāelan.

Alicent: What does that mean?

Rhaenyra: "I want to eat cake."

Alicent: Oh! Avy jorrāelan!!

Daemon lurking: That should be me *sad rogue prince noises*

You may call me a Rhaenicent truther. Daemon... please stop following them around...

By the way, at Comic Con this year, someone asked Matt Smith his thoughts on Nettles and his response was “…who?” 💀

Also still thinking about how when someone mentioned that people were harassing Daemyra stans and talking shit about the ship, he said that Daemon loves Rhaenyra and “is it slightly unhealthy? Maybe. Is it a bit weird? Yeah” but that he still loves her. That man is a Daemyra truther and I LOVE him
