Corlys Valeryon - Tumblr Posts
Am I the only one wondering how the velaryons are still on team Black's side?
Like seriously, Rhaenyra and Daemon disrespect them at every given occasion, yet they still somehow want to support her claim.
Strike 1 was Rhaenyra cheating on their son and not being called out on it by anyone.
(She and Laenor have a deal and both cheat on each other, but his parents don't know that. For all they know their daughter in law has been disregarding her duty as his wife and claiming her bastards as Laenors.)
Which is already not great at all since that means the next lord of the tides won't be an actual Velaryon.
Despite everything though Corlys is willing to overlook that because "history remembers names, not blood." but that doesn't mean they are happy with this.
Strike 2 was everything that happened with poor Laena. Daemon prevented her from going back to Driftmark to be with her family and she died far from her parents and her beloved home, which is already horrible.
Then at her funeral their former son in law starts laughing. I honestly would have snapped at that point.
But that's not even the worst part! Because not long after her funeral, Rhaenyra and Daemon have their only remaining child murdered so they can get married.
(Once again, Laenor isn't actually dead, but his parents can't know that.)
So now, both of their kids are dead, indirectly or directly because of D*emyra.
And then they get married immediately! Their spouses have barely stopped burning and they are already tying the knot, without even pretending to be grieving for their losses or wait the required period of mourning like in the books.
And all of this is without even considering how Vaemond was brutally executed by Daemon for telling the truth about the strong boys's parentage, and calling them not his blood.
The velaryons have shown support for them on pultiple occasions and got shat on every. single. time.
Yet for some reason they still think Rhaenyra should be in charge.
In the end, even during the dance they still draw the short end of the stick.
Rhaenys is killed by Aegon and Aemond because, in spite of her strength and ability as a dragon rider,she can't beat two dragons by herself, and Rhaenyra basically sacrifices her by sending her all alone to help their allies.
Corlys is damn right for saying that with more reinforcements his wife would have lived.
Oh and then we have that whole mistery affair that Jace has with Sara. Obviously it's all speculation and rumors, but if it were true, that would just be the last blatant insult to house Velaryon. They deserved much better.
I'll take it , might need just a tad bit redesign with a few oceanic plants.
The thing that make me laughs the most in this show is Corlys that keeps asking people to be his heir and take Driftmark but no one wants to rule that fuck ass ugly island.
Poor man just want to retire😭
Is it me or the wigs for Corlys and Rhaena feel... Empty...?
I don't know how to explain it but compared to 1st season which felt full (they were shit too don't get me wrong) they feel very thin
like the dreadlocks look thin, the shape in general looks flat af
it's like they grabbed the thinnest yarn they could find and stuck 3 strands on a wig cap and called it good
...
Or maybe this is just me not understanding how type 3-4 hair works
Who knows?
✨The possibilities are endless✨
Everyone in HotD is gorgeous, change my mind
