And Of Those Three, Harwin Was The One To Both Let Her Do As She Pleased That Night And Not Try To Control

And of those three, Harwin was the one to both let her do as she pleased that night and not try to control her or tell her what she needed to do or manipulate her as well as being the one to give her comfort and happiness and companionship for the decade following her wedding.

It just struck me how all three of the men Rhaenyra would have relations with were seen during that single fateful night out on the streets of Kingslanding: Daemon, Ser Harwin and Criston Cole. Must have been an exhilarating experience for her.

My favourite respectful dynamic in HotD?

Daemon and Harwin.

They both loved the same woman, but they did it ‘respectfully’. In this essay I will…

Harwin saw who Rhaenyra was with, out in Kingslanding, and it was enough for him to know she was alright, taken care of. Neither was he upset, simply amused at their shenanigans.

Immediately after, they nodded at each other in acknowledgment

The way Daemon asked to dance with Rhaenyra at the wedding was respectful

Harwin responded just as respectfully, even if he didn’t like it

How Daemon talked about Harwin with Rhaenyra on the beach. There’s no other way to put it, other than RESPECT. “I understand he was quite devoted to you”. “At least I am allowed to mourn my losses”. I will forever love Daemon just for these words.

Just look at it, it's almost tender 🥺
