Okay But Like Uspering The Throne Might As Well Be Considered A Targaryen Family Tradition From How Often

Okay but like uspering the throne might as well be considered a Targaryen family tradition from how often they do it. Aegon was just one of the only ones called out for it. I mean like how do we not know that he just wanted to do the generational prank of usurping an older sibling? Like maybe he was going to release a video a few days afterward revealing it was a prank and he wanted to follow the family tradition.

Lyrics of Monster from Epic the Musical

Jacaerys Velaryon walked into Winterfell and possibly seduced two members of House Stark. He really said I’m not leaving till I get my momma an army

“I genuinely think that House of the Dragon initially wanted to be neutral”

I don’t think so at all, they’ve been whitewashing Team Black the minute they cast 19 year old Milly Alcock so no one clocks just how disgusting Daemyra is. Do you think the ship would be as popular if we watched 41 year old Matt Smith groom an 8 year old?

Moreover they made Aegon II the love child of Joffrey Baratheon and Ramsay Snow, thus destroying any chance for neutrality. The Dance is now between a rapist who runs child fighting rings vs. a woman whose flaws were deliberately ignored in the show.

Wow… I wonder who HotD wants me to support from a moral standpoint 🤔

Any chance for nuance is coming solely from a fan perspective, the writers have the subtlety of a reversing dump truck. There’s nothing neutral in their Team Black = heroes and Team Green = villains writing.

In the beginning stages of the show, yeah I believe they wanted to be neutral. When they were writing the show, they made the choice to give positive characteristics like Alicent who in the book is your stereotypical evil stepmother. I think it's small things like that which show they wanted to do but this isn't Game of Thrones where the books are fully written with fully established dialogue, setting, characters, etc. Fire and Blood has conflicting reports on characters and most events are briefly described in a paragraph. GOT was easier to adapt cause they basically got a finished script in the existing books, Fire and Blood not so much. I imagine they wanted to be as compelling as GOT but with too many "blanks" in the original text, they realized they would have to write out said morally grey characters, which isn't always easy. So I think they gave up and went with the easy route of heroes vs villains. Hope this makes sense :)

idiot

You need to more specific🤷‍♀️

So she's a Dornish lady belonging to House Allyrion of Godsgrace. Their words are "No Foe May Pass". They're an ancient house, basically established by the Andals who settled in Dorne.

The Greenblood (river) lies near the banks of the castle, flowing east to the Summer Sea, with olive and lemon orchards surrounding the Keep. She spent her childhood mostly within Godsgrace surrounded by peace.

She's the first born child of the second son of house Allyrion so there isn't much left for her to inherit leaving her father to prioritise a good match as well as an elaborate education for her.

This is probably her maiden portrait or something he had commissioned to be sent should an eligible suitor present himself.

She's sent to the Martells on her seventeenth name day to secure a match, basically to learn how to integrate herself into larger circles of influence. (The Martells are her maternal cousins, Aliandra Martell being her first cousin who she houses with, as she's being prepared to rule by her father.)

Around the time of the dance of the dragons when Otto Hightower writes to Qoren Martell for his support, he considers rejecting it before deciding to consider the benefits of increased trade and influence should the greens succeed. He offers conditional support sighting his reluctance to engage with the Targaryens due to their historical rivalry but willingness to negotiate should Otto's plans succeed.

After he learns of the battle at Driftmark, he plans to send Aliandra reluctantly as an envoy at her behest, to negotiate a deal with the greens in kings landing. She accompanies her cousin to the city much to the dislike of her own family.

After arriving in kings landing and learning of the death of Prince jacaerys which was kept hidden, both women find themselves stuck. Aliandra wishes to lend her support to Rhaenyra, return home and change the terms of the deal, angry at the greens for keeping valuable information hidden, yet both find themselves under the eye of the newly appointed Prince Regent who forces them to honor the terms their house laid out or come up with a revised and mutually beneficial plan to honor their shared agreement.
