First Off: I Did Read The Book, I Don't Know Where You Got That I Somehow Didn't? Literally Everything

First off: I did read the book, I don't know where you got that I somehow didn't? Literally everything I said is from the book, you just seem to not like the facts of the story lmao.

"...You were a fool to come alone." [Aemond]

"Were I not alone, you would not have come," said Daemon.

"Yet you are, and here I am."

Fire and Blood: The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant

Wow, look how brave Aemond is: he only came to fight because he knew Daemon would be alone. Such an amazingly brave man. And that's not all: the whole story is full of Aemond's daring deeds, like killing an unarmed thirteen year old envoy, and burning defenseless villages. What a paragon of bravery and honor, no wonder you love him!

Moving on, Aemond wasn't the threat, Vhagar was. Daemon was concerned with getting rid of Vhagar permanently, as she was the biggest threat to the Blacks. Aemond was just the unhinged bitch boy who hid from Daemon until he was sure he was alone.

Yes, Daemon did make it a suicide mission, because to kill a dragon of Vhagar's size is extremely difficult and usually costs the killer their life. We saw this with Addam Velaryon when he went to kill Vermithor, though he wasn't as big as Vhagar, he was still one quite a bit older than Seasmoke. If Daemon knew he could draw out Aemond without their dragons, he would have, but Aemond was too much of a coward to meet him without Vhagar.

Also where the fuck did you get the idea that Aemond was unarmed? He literally came in his armor ready to fight, that typically means having a goddamn sword. If Aemond came to a fight without a sword then he's a complete idiot as well as a coward. Just because he had chained himself down and didn't think to go for the sword, doesn't mean he was unarmed.

GRRM has claimed Daemon as his favorite Targaryen to write in F&B. He wrote him to be a great warrior, so it's not me and other TB stans calling Daemon a badass, it's GRRM himself. If you don't like how the story was written, go cry to George.

As for Jaehaerys: how is a sword fight comparable to a fight on dragons? That's like comparing hand-to-hand with an archery contest. If Daemon had met Aemond in a sword fight, Daemon would have won much easier.

The reason why Daemon had the victory was because he chose to die, Aemond was killed. The choice is the defining factor here. Aemond was killed, Daemon let himself die, those are two very different fates. I don't know how else to explain this to you, but in my experience all Aemond stans lack media literacy so it probably doesn't matter. GRRM himself could tell you this and you'd still be bitching about how Aemond died a coward's death.

Just saw a tiktok about how Aemond dies in the Battle Above the Gods Eye and the comments are full of Greenies complaining lmao. Here's the tiktok for those who can't/don't want to follow the link:

The comments are full of people going, "Well Daemon died in that battle too😠." Like bro (gn), Daemon was in his fifties during this fight and Vhagar was over twice the size of Caraxes; it's not that impressive that Daemon didn't survive. It wasn't even Aemond who killed Daemon, that was gravity lmao. Aemond just sat there looking scared.

TG stans will always try their best to minimize just how pathetic their faves truly are. Even when they're admitting that Aemond was being stupid, they try to defend him.

"Rhaenyra is really entitled"

Entitled to what? The crown she inherited by her own father and king? Isn't that what all nobles do anyway (aka inheriting their lands and titles from their ancestors)?

I don't see the fans calling the Hightowers entitled for keep on ruling on their fiefdom on Reach. Or any other Noble House or character for the matter. Why should Rhaenyra be the exception?

‘I wish for death’ - Twelve-year-old Alma says. She fled bombing and shelling twice before the third place they sheltered was bombed, She was rescued from the rubble only to find out both her parents and all four of her siblings had been killed. She found her 18-month-old brother in an unimaginable state. Her little brother was beheaded from the rubble after the IOF massacred them.

I NEED your opinions about this

That post was deleted since I started writing this earlier today, so I'll do my best to sum up what it said really quick. Basically it was some leaked script where Alicent is secretly meeting Rhaenyra at Dragonstone to negotiate peace. She offers to split the realm, Rhaenyra angrily refuses and Alicent is upset (because of course). Rhaenyra says she will spare any who bend the knee but Alicent says that that isn't going to happen. That's all I saw of it. Now, onto my rant:

I fucking knew they were going to try to make Alicent a "peacemaker". Condal and Hess are just going to keep shoving that goddamn rhaenicent narrative down our throats. Even after Rhaenyra's children have been murdered along with Alicent's grandson.

Like why the fuck would Rhaenyra go to meet Alicent alone? Alicent is her enemy, her son murdered Luke, her other son stole her throne. Alicent abused Rhaenyra for ten years, any goodwill between them now just makes no sense! The writers are constantly willing to prioritize their bullshit ship over cohesive storytelling and consistent characters.

There's a chance that the leak is fake, which might be why it was deleted so quickly (but that might also be because it's true). However, the fact that the scene is something I can definitely see them having in there speaks volumes. It wouldn't be the first time Alicent and Rhaenyra were randomly shoved into almost reconciling, and it still makes no sense.

To be clear though, Alicent's offer was actually in the book, however the setting is very different. In the book, Rhaenyra has taken KL and is in the process of hunting down Aegon and his supporters. Alicent offers it as a last ditch effort to secure power and security for her family. It's very obviously a power grab on her part, one that Rhaenyra quickly rejects, just like in that scene.

My main issue with this scene isn't the offer, it's the circumstances in which it happened. Alicent offered it because Rhaenyra was winning and was planning on killing Aegon as soon as she got her hands on him. She wanted power, her whole motivation in the book is power. She offers to split the realm because Rhaenyra has KL and has imprisoned Alicent. That scene is turning Alicent's blatant power grab into yet another scene of "poor Alicent, she just wants peace 😔". Something that makes no sense considering that she started this whole fucking thing when she declared war on Rhaenyra sixteen years ago. It's just frustrating and shitty writing.
