❝The mad former queen, Helaena, flung herself from a balcony to be impaled upon the iron spikes lining the moat of Maegor’s holdfast below.❞

My sweet summer child, you will never be unloved by me. You deserved so much better 🦋

The level of delusion in the TG trailer is astonishing!

"Viserys knew the Realm would never accept a Queen." - Yet, 3/4 of the Realm sided with her... Right.

"Rhaenyra's supporters will believe what they wish, but Viserys wanted Aegon to succeed him." - sure, honey, just keeping telling yourself that.

"They wish now not for the good of the realm, but for the satisfaction of vengeance." - yes you old fool, obviously. You took her throne, her birthright. You killed her son, you caused her miscarriage. Of course they want vengeance. And don't give me the whole "good of the realm" thing. Like you care for the realm. No, all you want is your blood on the Throne.

"I'm as fearsome as any of them." ...sure, Jan. Sure.

"My uncle is a challenge I welcome, if he dares face me." - now listen here boo. I like you, but let's not be delusional. Daemon is like what, in his forties, is a very skilled warrior, has Dark Sister. And you're like what, 18? What actual skill do you have? Did you fight in a war? Don't think so. Pls Aemond, bffr.

"Good. To war then." - he is such an idiot, Jesus. 😭😭 but i love the way Tom delivers that line.

TG be like:

I'm sorry (not really) that I keep going over the legal issues in hotd, but it's stronger than me. The problem over the inheritance, over the Iron Throne, between Rhaenyra and Aegon comes way before their birth. It starts with the Great Council.

Jahaerys made a fucking great mistake by asking the Lords "which one should be my heir?". He gave them power and made them realize that, without dragons, House Targaryen was the shittiest one. So they chose the weaker heir, of course. And Viserys, being the idiot that he was, felt indebted towards the Lords. (Remind you, "peaceful" is just a synonym of "Don't bother")

Now, after Aemma's murder, Viserys was between his brother or his daughter. We all know the history: Daemon is a menace, let's be radical and name a woman as heir! And let's also do a ceremony where everyone swears fealty to the new heir! Great! Wait, did anyone keep a record of that? Is there a paper signed? I mean, words are carried by the wind...

When the King has a son, he doesn't announce a change in the succession line, and that is where Viserys has the whole fault: he wanted to be in good terms with God and the Devil. He knew that the Lords wanted his son as heir (he himself had set the precedent), but, despite having all the power, he didn't have the "heart" to displace his eldest child as heir. He Pontius Pilato'ed the matter and died without a resolution.

Now, the Realm is in chaos. Who's the true heir? Well, the Lords say that they swore an oath to Rhaenyra. But! But! There's the Great Council precedent, Salic Law, but they don't hold the power to establish a new monarch. They can't act since there's no Council. We need the word of the king. And who's better than the Queen to come with the word of the king and say, "My son is the heir"?

(Remember Borros Baratheon, his tongue was quicker than his mind. "The House of the Dragon does not know who is its true ruler." He sells himself and his house to the one with more chances of winning, and he already knows that his fellow lords will not support Rhaenyra.)

The problem is that, despite being Valyrian and having other customs and laws, the Targaryen failed as conquerors because they never imposed their beliefs. If they had blended their laws and Westeros' common law, in a sort of ius gentium way, they would have had true power over the Lords and wouldn't have faced this issue.

Jahaerys wouldn't have needed to call a Great Council settling a precedent, and the Lords wouldn't have an excuse to impose the Salic Law.

I like the way that rhaenyra calls aegon “alicent’s son” because that shows the targaryen family rupture in a very clear way, years of rivalry coming together until it finally snaps
