You know what I’m mad at the sex scene again. I’ve seen so many takes from rhae x alicent shippers making comparisons of alicent with viserys and it’s pissing me off bc low key her face did not look satisfied. I’m sorry guys but the actor could have done better. Rhae even had a better sex scene with cole. If they wanted to portray pleasure they should’ve have made it more clear. I don’t want to make it Emma’s fault but they do hate the ship so I wouldn’t be surprised if that was their intention. I love them but seriously that look was not it.. maybe it was the director’s fault but I can’t get over it and now that it’s done there’s so many anti shippers using it for their advantage saying she’s a victim of grooming so she felt like she wanted it blah blah blah. Ugh sometimes I wish I didn’t care so much about this ship and sorry for ranting bc I really don’t care if people have other ships but most of them love to shit on daemrya so yes I’m mostly upset because even though we win we really haven’t. If this many people are thinking she looked unsatisfied maybe we’re only lying to ourselves ☹️

I disagree so completely. And this blog will NOT stand for Emma D'Arcy slander. They are an AMAZING actress. PeriodT!

ETA: As @kylo-renperor pointed out, Emma doesn’t hate the ship. They have cheered it on. They called their wedding magical. Emma said that Daemon healed Rhaenyra and gave her strength. Their very pro-Daemon. They’ve also said other pro-Daemyra things. It’s just that anything that can be taken as even remotely negative is more click-baity so all headlines grab that stuff.

Rhaenyra did not look bored. She did not have dead eyes. Her hand was curved possessively around Daemon’s neck, her fingers entangled in the strands of his hair. That look on her face was one of deep satiation, of ownership, of a roaring 'fuck you' to the gods that he was hers now, she had claimed him.

I have watched that love scene countless times now and it only grows more powerful. The people who complain and see anything less than the glorious, achingly beautiful love scene that it was from beginning to end are those who aren't paying attention to the reality and logic of the story.

Those people wanted hot, hot, fast-paced, frantic, hungry, grasping, desperate sexytiems. They wanted a Daemon smiling devilishly. They wanted tits and ass. They wanted Rhaenyra gasping, moaning, going all over-the-top O-town. They wanted Rhaenyra smiling like the cat who ate the canary in that final shot

However, if we had gotten all of that it would have just been about sex. Like the Rhaenyra/Cole scene. It would have been just about Rhaenyra’s pleasure. Just like the Rhaenyra/Cole scene.

Instead what we got was a love scene that was about two people connecting. Two people finding themselves again in each other. Two people finding home in each other. It was about two people revealing themselves to each other. It was about fragility, vulnerability, openness, need, want, trust, desire, and love. It was about two souls that were two halves finally uniting again, but it was a delicate dance because what if... what if... something happened yet again to keep things from reaching their conclusion?

And that look on Rhaenyra’s face? It was defiance against all who had held her down, held her back, kept her from her true self. Because she had found her true self once again. In his arms. And no one and nothing would take that from her ever again.

To say that the Daemyra fanbase hasn’t won is just patently wrong.

Episode 1: Daemon first scene: With Rhaenyra. They speak in Valyrian together. He tells her to “turn around” in a sensual way, gives her a gift, says “beautiful” in Valyrian. The entire scene had major flirty vibes.

All throughout the tournament, Daemon and Rhaenyra are making eyes at each other. Even when he asks/gets the favor from Alicent (which he does solely to piss off Otto), he and Rhaenyra are making eyes at each other.

At Aemma’s funeral, it’s with Daemon that she shares a moment. Again, they speak Valyrian. He comforts her. He gives her the strength to call to Syrax to light the bodies aflame.

Episode 2: Rhaenyra confronts Daemon over the stolen egg, and the framing of the scene makes it appear as if it’s just the two of them on there despite the fact that his lover and armed guard is behind him, and Otto and his small army, and Syrax is behind her. They, again, speak Valyrian, have their little private conversation. Daemon was willing to go to bloodshed with Otto, but at a few challenging words and a smirk from Rhaenyra simply throws her the egg.

Episode 3: They don’t even have scenes together and yet they are paralleled heavily.

Episode 4: Rhaenyra is fingering the necklace he gave her while meeting potential suitors. Rhaenyra sees Daemon return and looks on at him flying home on Caraxes in joyous wonder. Rhaenyra tracks Daemon’s movements in the Red Keep’s main hall. Rhaenyra is giddy while talking to Daemon with Viserys/Alicent. When Daemon/Rhaenyra talk, he listens to her, she tells him her true feelings. He takes her out, we have some fun times, some sexy times. Later, Daemon tells Viserys that he wants Rhaenyra as she is, he wants to wed her.

Episode 5: Daemon kills his wife so that he can be with Rhaenyra. Goes to her wedding reception, throughout the whole thing, the two exchange glances non-stop. Have a heated conversation (in Valyrian) where she tells him to make him her wife. Daemon comes this close to doing so.

Episode 6: Again, no scenes together, again, heavily paralleled.

Episode 7: Rhaenyra tracks Daemon’s movements. Daemon smiles, flustered, giddy meeting Rhaenyra’s gaze. Heartfelt, open conversation. Kissing on the beach, beautiful, haunting, open, revealing, love scene. Daemon got her back when attacked in the Driftmark Hall. Rhaenyra proposes to Daemon. They work out a plan together so they can get married. Awesomely Old Valyria style wedding ceremony where they both look at peace, joyously, ridiculously happy.

Bur, yeah, we’re not winning. OK, then.

Ok I haven’t watched the episode yet but why are people saying it lacked passion and chemistry? I’ve heard it’s because they weren’t looking at each other or rhae’s eyes looked vacant so idk. Maybe their expectations were way too high….

I don't know. I honestly, truly don't know how anyone could watch that love scene and say it lacked passion. *sigh*

I don't think it was that expectations were too high; I think it was that expectations were different. Some people expected Daemon and Rhaenyra to see each other and basically glom on to each other, passionately kissing, ripping clothes off, a mad ecstatic frenzy of wild abandon.

And that just WOULD NOT make sense. It simply wouldn't. Sorry, peeps, but no.

Rhaenrya had given birth in the last month or so. Wild, crazy sexytiems was NOT on her agenda. With anyone. Period.

Daemon had lost his wife -- a woman he *did* care about -- in the last week or so.

Rhaenyra had lost her lover -- a man she *did* care about -- in the last week or so.

The last time Rhaenyra saw Daemon had been in a crowd full of people where she had essentially challenged him to take her, to make her his. And he had left her, or in her words, he had abandoned her.

The last time Daemon had seen Rhaenyra he had been offered what he wanted most of all, Rhaenyra to take to wife by Rhaenyra herself, but to do so would ruin her life he believed so he left, or in his words, he spared her that fate.

The both of them felt that they had lost something of great value ten years before. Daemon had given something up. Rhaenyra had been given up. And because of that they were lost for ten years. They both tried to make the best of it, but they were lost, they were lonely, they were missing their other half essentially, the other that made them truly burn. And without that other half, the spark was dying.

Finally, Daemon and Rhaenyra had never lie with one another before. They didn't know each other's bodies. It wasn't a sexual reunion at all. This joining of their bodies was a new union, a new start for them, a new chapter.

Because of all of the above when at last they came together, it was tentative. There was a fragility to how they approached their passion towards one another. It was banked, held back because remember when Rhaenyra had given her all so voraciously to Daemon before he had left her. And when Daemon had moved so quickly before it had thrown him for such a loop that he had lost himself so quickly that he had run away.

So they took their time, they kept their eyes on one another; they kept their hands on one another. They revealed themselves, enough of themselves to the other for comfort, for ease, for trust. This wasn't just about sex. This was about trust and connection, and finding their way back to each other, and finding themselves again. And they did.

Anyone who saw vacancy in Rhaenyra's eyes wasn't looking closely enough. She was looking up at the gods, fierce determination in her gaze. There was a hard glint there, yes, and it was directed at them, a challenge that no one would take this man from her again. She was claiming ownership. He was hers now.

Daemon had given himself to her, revealing himself, looking at her -- because, yes, they were looking at each other like lots and lots of looking at each other, face to face, the soft touches, the gentle kisses. To say that their love scene was without passion is so far from the truth, that love scene was one of the mostly hauntingly passionate and beautiful love scenes I have ever seen. It was glorious. Just absolutely glorious.
