Happy HOTD Trailers 💕💕💕

People who say that House Hightower destroyed the Targaryen dynasty are kind of silly because House Strong is right there. Like House Strong really apparently wanted to get in on the action and just helped bring down a monarchy.

Harwin straight-up had illegitimate children with the crown princess. And yes I know it takes two to tango but Harwin could have stopped it, though as we see in episode 6 he is more than down with this arrangement. The fact that the children just kept coming out looking nothing like her and he still kept seeing Rhaenyra. After Jace he should have taken a step back, I guess he wanted to see if things would change with Luke? Clearly not. The rumors about Rhaenyra's children just tarnished her reputation and put a target on their children's backs. This was him supporting Rhaenyra too and all he was doing was making things worse.

Larys is a whole nother level. The man flipped sides more than a pancake on a stove. The man was plotting against everyone, I swear. He was undermining anyone who wasn't outright helping him. He even got some personal hits in by helping force Rhaenyra out of King's Landing and then poisoning Aegon. This man was made for chaos and he happened to be born in the right time for it.

Lyonel is rarely talked about but it needs to be said, if Viserys neglected the growing problems so did Lyonel. He watched for years as his son, the commander of the city watch, got close to the princess and her having children who looked suspiciously like him yet said nothing. It's not until Criston Cole mentions it that he confronts Harwin. Like just because no one has had the guts to say doesn't mean no one was thinking it. He said it himself Harwin is committing treason that can result in the exile/death of Harwin, Rhaenyra, and the children but again why say it this late?

Just when you thought all the Strongs were dead after Aemond's attack on Harrenhal, enter Alys Rivers. Whether you believe that she cast a spell on Aemond or not, she followed her family tradition of messing with the Targaryens. Intentionally or not, she led Aemond to Daemon and was there to witness them kill each other. Single handily, she killed two Taragryens as well as two dragons: Vhagar and Caraxes. Then she ran off with baby Aemondcito to vibe at her vacant family home.

Say what you will about the Hightowers, I have never seen such a collected group effort by one family (unintentional or not) to cause so much chaos to another family. They were on opposing sides at some points yet still through every step were petty and screwed over the Targaryens. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. This was mostly me highlighting how weirdly funny it is how involved House Strong was in taking down the Targaryens before they themselves went extinct as a house. No hate to anyone just weird how connected they are with everything.

If Westeros had a news station Pt 2

Crackship ramblings incoming (nothing is coherent here)

Daemon Targaryen x Criston Cole

Hear me out...they would be fascinating to watch.

Something probably would have awakened in Daemon that day on the bridge in Dragonstone when he got Cole's name wrong and Criston gave the snarkiest little response "Perhaps my prince recalls when I knocked him off his horse." Man had to walk away from that and have a therapy session with Mysaria immediately after.

Years later, he comes back from the Stepstones after fighting for so long that when he returns and finds out Cole is Rhaenyra's knight, he feels a certain type of way.

Rhaenyra would be like "So uncle what was the Stepstones like?"

Daemon would say something like "Great, weather was nice. So does your knight ever talk about the tourney we were in? Like does he talk about any people that stood out to him or?"

It would become almost a running gag from how many times Daemon just "happens to appear" where Criston is and tries to antagonize (flirt) with him.

Would this ship have saved Westeros and prevented the dance? No. Would Joffrey Lounmouth still be alive? Yes, because Criston was too distracted being confused by Daemon trying to rizz him up at Rhaenyra's wedding.

Gwayne @ Criston Cole next season probably:

Ellen: So I heard that you keeping pulling bad bitches Criston: It's true, I'm honestly trying to stop so I can honor my oaths Ellen: Well we've got a surprise for you *Curtain opens to reveal Gwayne Hightower* Criston *literally crying*: Omg Ellen you didn't

Otto: Yesterday, I overheard Aegon saying “are you sure this is a good idea?” and Sir Criston replying “trust me,” and I have never moved from one room to another so quickly in my life

CRISTON COLE — Who do I have to speak to about if they can redo the prophecy?

alicent and rhaenyra gifting their favours in episode 1.01

TBH we all kinda collectively think Latino soap operas are the only ones serving the authentic Latino drama but let's be honest here

What the fuck hotd even is if not the family fighting over their late granpa's house?

Aegon really just straight up fired his pops to promote this asshole and all I could do was laugh because my dude, this man just let your son die and your sister-wife be traumatized for life because he was fucking your mother AND YOU PROMOTE HIM FOR IT

Lol hotd could never fool me, this is some top shit comedy

(Sorry online illiterates but you could never convince me this man is fit to be king)

i keep sucking at my job but they keep promoting me 😭

It's giving modern au where the greens go on vacation after viserys died

I was getting high off the newest hotd episode.

Aegon loves Sunfyre and Sunfyre loves him. The way Sunfyre curled to protect him broke my heart.

Aemond I hate him and I love him. Driven to violence by shame.

Daemon is haunted, rightfully. But more of his layers are peeling back, his emotions and repressions and true desires are revealing themselves.

Cole cares about the king he made.

Alicent… says what should be said to the person, but not what is needed by the son.

Rhaenyra trusts her son and makes finally makes war, but so casually after all the restraint she is blinded to the trap.

They’re all so dysfunctional. But they all CARE and they don’t know how to express themselves or treat others or aguhhhhhh it’s so good!

Such a rollercoaster, my heart has been wrenched.

You know that metal thing that Aegon used to beat up a guy? I would give my left tit for it to be publicly shoved up Criston Cole’s asshole.

The screams I screamed when Cole fell down and the cries I cried when he got back up were of biblical proportions

My girl Syrax said “you ain’t going NOWHERE without me” 😤😤😤

Every time I see Crispin standing menacingly behind Lord Beesbury
