Myriah’s willing to do anything for her sons… Even if that means beating a level of Super Marwyn Brothers that they haven’t been able to pass on their BoyGame
Based of course on this iconic photo lol

the only thing more doompilled than being a targaryen is being a targaryen without silver hair. getting absolutely whack-a-moled by the narrative with a comically large hammer

may or may not have spoken about jacaerys galahad-ism before but just know that the tragic nature of brown haired targaryens lies not only in their physical rejection of the valyrian status quo but in their representation of the narrative’s core moral argument. this all tying back to the doctrine of exceptionalism and the condemnation towards the monarchy in that being born royal, targaryen, or silver haired does not guarantee that their action is just; the physical use of brown hair, the outlier amongst targaryens, bolstering or highlighting the values grrm finds most admirable

my favourite heads of the dragon from dunk & egg —
baelor breakspear - honestly one of the most level-headed targs, though i suspect that’s just because he takes wholly after myriah. the moment with the war vs. tourney lances was epic for a jousting nerd like me, and his death is iconic, if disgusting and maybe not even medically possible.
prince valarr - idk, i just think he’s neat. he gets barely any page time, but what he does have is interesting, and i loved what he said to duncan after baelor’s death, because it shows how things that are good for protagonists aren’t, and shouldn’t be, always good for everyone else.
john the fiddler/daemon ii blackfyre - i have a precedent for liking dragon dreamers, so it’s unsurprising that daemon is my boy. he just wanted to be gay, fiddle (with duncan) and serve cunt, but somehow got caught up in his own rebellion. i really hope the rest of his life was spent as shiera seastar’s gay little purse-dog.

Putting Targ males into tiers based on how much I like them.
I would plant my DNA in a crime scene for them:
Aemon the Pale Prince, Baelon, Vaegon, Daeron the Daring, Jacaerys, Viserys II, Aemon the Dragonknight, Baelor Breakspear, Maester Aemon, Aegon V
I would kiss them:
Aegon II (after I give him a breath mint), Aemond, Daeron II, Maekar, Daeron the Drunken, Duncan, Viserys III
My happy vitamins:
Aenys, Laenor, Lucerys, Aegon III, Aerys I, Valarr, Daeron son of Aegon V
They interest me, but I wouldn't say I like them:
Aegon I, Jaehaerys I, Daeron I, Baelor I, Daemon Blackfyre, Bloodraven, Rhaegar
Completely neutral:
Aegon the Uncrowned, Viserys son of Aenys, Joffrey, Rhaegel, Matarys, Aelor
Love to hate them:
Maegor, Viserys I, Aegon IV, Bittersteel, Aerion Brightflame, Aerys II
IDGAF:
Jaehaerys II
I'd pay to burn them alive they infuriate me so much:
Daemon the Rogue Prince

KING BAELOR TARGARYEN:The bards would argue, in time, that the vipers bowed their heads to baelor's step, but that is not the truth. Baelor received half a dozen bites as he crossed the cage, and while he opened it he nearly fell to the ground before the dragon knight could open the door and pull his cousin out of the pit. It is said that The wyls crossed their bets as prince aemon scrambled to climb out of the cage with baelor on his shoulders.
PRINCE BAELOR TARGARYEN:Baelor, of the house of targary in, prince of rocadragon, hand of the king, protector of the kingdom and heir to the iron throne of the seven kingdoms of the west had his pira funeral in the court of arms of vado ash castle, on the north bank of the river cockleswent. Unlike other large houses, some of which buried their dead or plunged them into the cold, green sea, the targaryen filled the dead with letters of fire, because they carried the blood of the dragon.

reading “a knight of the seven kingdoms” for the first time in preparation for the upcoming show and everything was good til they removed baelor’s helmet… why did george kill him like that?
i’m so distraught what the actual fuck
if i had a penny for every time i fell in love with a gallant, hunky, hot prince who has martell blood in him and died tragically from a fatal head injury, i would have two pennies… it isn't a lot, but it's still crazy it happened twice

Ye Olde Magick AU
All of you should thank @books-n-guns for this. What once was a silly little AU about the Starks and their fangs and making everyone around them develop a biting kink has now turned into a full-fledged AU with lore and magic and other houses getting characteristics.
Basic lore:
— Magic exists within the bloodlines of all noble houses, though from different sources. It's strengthened by two things: the existence of a group's homeland and the religion the magic is tied to/originates from.
— The First Men got their magic from their adoption of the Old Gods and their Pact with the Children during the Age of Heroes. Since the decline of the Old God religion in the south the northern nobles house don't have as many characteristics as they used to.
— The Andels came with their own magic along with The Seven. Since their religion is more widespread the Andel houses have a lot more characteristics than any other house.
I'll probably do two more posts: one about the lore, and the others about the gods who are real and are trying to be more active in Westeros because world ending reasons. Because there is now plot, however it may change. Also I might do the other houses. Might. Ideas are welcome.
Without further ado, here are some of houses and their characteristics.
The Starks (now): Sharp fangs (X). Resistant to the cold. In the past the Stark were so cool looking. Bigger and sharper fangs—proper wolf fangs I'm telling you—and pointed ears with ear tufts. Slitted eyes that could see in the dark. Sharp claws and thicker body hair (both men and women), and enhanced senses.
Because of Catelyn's river nymph traits, the Stark-Tully kiddos can breathe underwater and talk with the fishes. Might also have a bit of enhanced strength. Resistant to cold.
Jonny boy, however, doesn't get anything from his Targaryen bloodline until Dany brings back the dragons. Resistant to cold (Stark blood) and heat (Targaryen blood), and breaths fire (Targaryen blood).
The Tullys: River nymph traits. Gils and enhanced strength. Haven't changed much though it has been noted they aren't as nymph-like as they were in the past. Don't fuck with their rivers you will be drowned. Can breathe under water and communicate with the fish, hence the trout. Needs to bathe in a river or any body of fresh water once a month or they'll start looking sickly; any longer and they'll die.
The Martells: Snake fangs mostly, though there have been some with forked tongues or snake eyes. Rarely all three. Can make their own saliva poisonous at will. Has been known to coat their weapons in their own poison. Resistant to heat though not flame proof.
The Baratheons: Horns/antlers. Basic? Yes—but the Baratheons have long since mastered the art of making their horns look both mighty, dangerous, and handsome. Many an enemy has been impaled upon or had their heads ripped off by the house of Storms End. Some say that the ancestors of the Baratheons used to be able to bring storms and fierce winds thanks to the blood of Elenei Durrandon in their veins.
The Lannisters: pays their debts shits gold Lion fangs and sometimes manes. Can actually roar. In the past they were as fierce looking as the Starks; humans with lots of lion characteristics such as sharp claws, toe beans, slitted eyes and even whiskers. Some Lannister women were born with lion manes, and there are one or two theories that Lann the Clever was in fact a woman with a mane.
The Tyrells: Dryads-Anthousai mixture. Yes, even the males. It's an AU and ASOIAF, and mom says I can. They have flowers in their hair—roses. mostly, though Olenna has a beautiful and deadly flower and thorned circlet—and can shift their skin to be any type of bark of any type of tree so long as they form a connection to it. Looks healthier in the spring/summer; dead looking in winter (no seriously they look fucking dead, and more than once people thought Olenna had finally kicked the bucket. Boy did Tywin have a nasty surprise). Not at all flame proof.
The Targaryns:
At first they were the most Basic And Boring of all noble houses. The only thing cool about them was their dragons, and those died out. With Valyria destroyed in the Doom, the Fourteen Flames no longer being followed and the dragons gone, the Valyrian magic within their veins either died out or went dormant. Now they're just heat resistant and beautiful looking. It was only when they started marrying into other bloodlines/houses did they start getting characteristics—or rather, the characteristics of other houses such as Rhaenys Targaryn/Velaryon having antlers and the Baratheon square jaw can someone please start drawing her with it and Baelor Breakspear having the Martell snake traits.
That is, until, Daenerys 'Stormborn' Targaryn brings back the dragons.
The Dany that stands admist the ashes of her beloved husband is not the same who walked into the flames. The return of dragons has re-awoken the valyrian magic in her blood and it mixes with the westeros magic. She stands tall and unburnt with her dragons in her arms, patches of shimmering silver-gold scales on her thighs, arms, shoulders, breasts, neck, and they follow the curves of her cheekbones. Violet eyes with slitted pupils blink slowly.
And protruding from her head are the beginnings of white horns. Soon they will start to grow. They will be elegant and beautiful, up and out, almost like an ivory crown.
The Dragon Queen has been born.

On...Targaryen (Valyrian) Eye Colors!
(I cannot for the life of me find the source of this GIF, if anyone knows pls lemme know. Source for the picture here.)
Since I did my post on the hair colors found among Valyrians, an anon gave me the idea to analyze the eye colors found among them as well. In Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon no one has purple eyes because they don't occur naturally in real life, and purple contacts can be really hard on actor's eyes and also affect their performance. However the majority of people of Valyrian descent have varying shades of purple eye colors in the books, which is what I will cover today.
Disclaimer: Not every single Targaryen/someone of Valyrian heritage has specific shades mentioned. Several, like Laenor Velaryon, are described as having simply "purple eyes." Mood boards are courtesy of Pinterest, sources to them are linked.
Violet
Source
The most common eye color among Valyrians is "violet." Daenerys and several other Targaryens are described with this eye color. Certain members of the Dayne family, like Ashara, also bear this shade despite the fact that they have no known Valyrian ancestry. Violet is a bright and vibrant purple color that leans blue. Note that many of the dragonseeds, like Bittersteel, are also born with violet eyes.
2. Lilac
Source
Rhaena (Aenys's daughter), Rhaenys (Aemon's daughter), and Viserys (Dany's brother) have lilac eyes. Lilac is frequently described as a light violet color, or simply a pale purple.
3. Indigo/Dark Purple
Source
Rhaegar was described as having indigo colored eyes, and Aegon III was described as having purple eyes so dark they were almost black. Indigo is a combination between blue and violet/purple. It's also called "blurple" (blue+purple) and "purplish blue."
4. Blue
Source
Not all Targaryens and Valyrians have purple eyes, especially if they were born of mixed heritage. Several had blue, like Queen Alysanne who was described as having "clear blue" eyes.
5. Brown
Source
Like with blue eyes, Targaryens born of mixed marriages can have brown eyes. Baelor Breakspear and Rhaenyra's children with Laenor/Harwin: Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey are examples of this.
UPDATE
6. Multi-Color
A couple of Targaryens, Alyssa and Shiera Seastar, have a condition called heterochromia, which causes each pupil to be a different color. Alyssa had one violet and one green eye; Shiera had one blue and one green eye. I'll link to some fanart that depicts their heterochromia below.
Alyssa: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Shiera: 1, 2, 3, 4 (scroll down to the second picture), 5
