Im Re Reading Fire And Blood And I Know Its A Suppose To A History Book And All BUT I Love How Book!Rhae

Im re reading fire and blood and I know its a suppose to a history book and all BUT I love how book!Rhae doesn't mope about not being a son or thinks her father naming her heir is wrong (and keep in mind, she was made heir before/at 8 so even younger then show!Rhaenyra)

She's strong and loves her position as heir and despite being apart of a society who breaks down women just for being women, loves being female.

this person who always appears in any post about Aegon, defending him is very strange... this person has a post saying that doesn't know how Baela resisted him at dinner scene? because she wouldn't resist, like... WTF is your problem? that was harassment? baela was being harassed

Yeahhhh I looked at their account a bit before I replied to them (this post btw), and they're a perfect example of how everyone who spouts off the whole "everyone's equally bad" rhetoric is actually TG. They talk constantly about how everyone should just "pick their fav and move on". They compare Aegon's raping of servant girls with Daemon's frequenting of brothels.

Aegon stans are honestly as delusional if not more than Alicent stans. They'll go on and on about how "Aegon's not a rapist in the books" or blatantly ignoring just how awful he is. Aegon was recorded by even Septon Eustace (the man who crowned him) to sexually assault servant girls.

[Aegon] possessed of more than healthy appetites...pinching and fondling any serving girl who strayed within his reach. (Fire and Blood: Heirs of the Dragon- a Question of Succession)

Aegon stans who don't deny his actions will go on about how much they'd love to be in the situations of those girls or, like this specific poster said, in Baela's place. It's one thing to have kinks and fantasies, it's a completely different thing to excuse a rapist just because you're into that. I feel like that's something normal people understand.

I'm not condemning reading or writing fics about certain kinks/fantasies, even ones about characters like Aegon. What I'm saying is fucked up is going after people for pointing out what horrible people characters like Aegon are.

It's even more ridiculous when they complain about how people point out most stans of Aegon and others like him mostly like them because of attractiveness. That person's blog is mostly them thirsting over Tom Glynn-Carney, yet they complained about me and the anon talking about how his appearance caused most of his stans. Hypocrisy is something I should be used to from TG stans, yet it still surprises me.

“Rhaenyra wants to be the exception, not the rule.”

Did you, perhaps, skip the part where she’s literally usurped and forced into the bloodiest civil war Westeros had seen up to that point in history?

She wasn’t even allowed to be the exception, which is kinda the whole point.

can we speak who the phrase "many will die, and the winner eventually ascends the throne" its dumb? lol like ow thanks alicent for saying the most obvious thing... who wrote that?

Lmao right? They played it like it was Soo profound when she's literally just saying how war works. But it's Alicent saying it, so of course Condal and Hess want to frame it as her being "wise". It's ridiculous, especially since she's saying it like she wasn't the one who started the fucking war in the first place.

LYANNA

Ned remembered the moment when all the smiles died, when Prince Rhaegar Targaryen urged his horse past his own wife, the Dornish princess Elia Martell, to lay the queen of beauty's laurel in Lyanna's lap. He could see it still: a crown of winter roses, blue as frost.

—  A Game of Thrones, Eddard XV

The king was wroth, and even sent his son the dragon prince to seek the man, but all they ever found was his painted shield, hanging abandoned in a tree.

"The tourney Lord Whent staged at Harrenhal beside the Gods Eye, in the year of the false spring. A notable event. [...] "But that was the tourney when he crowned Lyanna Stark as queen of love and beauty!" said Dany.

ARYA

It wasn't Harren, Arya wanted to say, it was me. She had killed Chiswyck with a whisper, and she would kill two more before she was through. I'm the ghost in Harrenhal, she thought. And that night, there was one less name to hate.

—  A Clash of Kings, Arya VII

Barefoot surefoot lightfoot, she sang under her breath. I am the ghost in Harrenhal.

— A Clash of Kings, Arya IX

I'm not an evil child, she thought, I am a direwolf, and the ghost in Harrenhal. She put her broomstick back in its hiding place and followed him from the godswood.
