I never envisaged they could give Rhaena the whole “Nettles story”, not just Sheepstealer.

I was talking to a friend the other day about Daemon’s arc this season, I believe his arc will not help him realize how he has neglected his daughters (despite loving them) and he will try to be a better father and protect Rhaena from Rhaenyra’s wrath/paranoia… which is why I believe the fallout between Daemon and Rhaenyra will happen because she’ll try to harm one of his daughters. His willingness to die will make so much sense if this happens.

This is too incredible to be true. Rhaenyra go after the stepdaughter she took in as her own daughter for 10 plus years? Yeah, no. With Nettles--a literal unknown before the Dance and who was a Dragonseed like the Betraying Ulf/Hugh--it made so much more sense for Rhaenyra and her council to blame or suspect her, even with her loyalty. Because we also know that other possible dragonriding families with their loyalties more likely to turn has been a source of anxiety for Targs since at least Jaehaerys I (Elissa Farman stealing the eggs)!

This storyline is also further proof of HotD unnecessaarily isolating Rhaenyra from every female supporter and family she does stronger bonds with canonically [pessimisticpigeonsworld's post]. And how this show has its misogynoir BAKED-BAKED in since Laena undermined for Daemyra and Rhaenicent.

But IF true. Anyone who supports this storyline is dumb. I'm very not sorry.
