Gwayne Hightower - Tumblr Posts
When one grasps power, they tend to attempt to hold onto it. There are those, however, who when they grasp power tighten their grip. They lie, cheat, bribe, and kill for power. They are called the Borgias.
The Hightowers as The Borgias
The corrupt and power-hungry head of the family, Otto Hightower. The ambitious soldier, Gwayne whose appetite for war was unlike any other. The beautiful but conniving Alicent whose marriages served furthered her family's power.
Dyanna Tully and her Knight Gwayne Hightower Mood board
“During the Dance of the Dragons, Dyanna Tully was said to be very close with Queen Alicent Hightower's brother, Gwayne. The knight was always by her side like a shadow and devoted himself to her completely. Some whispered there was something more between the two.”
Happy Valentine's Day post featuring one of my favorite couples I’ve written 💕💕💕
It's going to be wild when Gwayne shows up in Season 2
What the Queens in my fic "A Targaryen Type of Madness" would do if they lived in the modern era
Rhaenyra Targaryen
After the toxic relationships she's had, Rhaenyra decided to take a step back and focus on being alone for a while. She focuses on her career as a business CEO and being there for her children. Robb would act as a father figure to her and convince her to work on herself for a while. She followed his advice, developing a a hobby as an amauter historian on Old Valyria. Criston and her are close friends, grabbing a drink from the pub every now and again.
Alicent Hightower
Intially not wanting to divorce, Alicent was evenutally persuaded by friends that her marriage wasn't healthy for her or her children. Despite still holding feelings for her ex, she spends her time and energy on her children. She works as a lawyer due to her driven and somewhat calculating nature. Her love of poetry has expanded to her writing full length manuscripts which Lenora has been begging for her to publish. She remains close with her brother Gwayne and visits him often with her four children.
Lenora Strong
Following her divorce, Lenora would devote her time and energy to raising her three sons. She would become a soccer mom type, always taking them to whatever clubs or extracurriculars they would sign up for. She would also spend most weekends visiting her father Lyonel and brothers, Harwin and Larys. She works as a teacher because she loves helping others and adores children. She struggles with doing things for herself and has been convinced by her friend, Alicent, to take up Zumba classes for fun.
Dyanna Tully
Following her divorce, Dyanna got remarried to Gwayne Hightower two years later. This was a slightly controversial decision in the eyes of others but she doesn't let this affect her as she was finally married to someone she loved. Given that Dyanna didn't have much work experience she bounced from job to job while keeping up with her hobby of horseback riding. Eventually, she and Gwayne bought a ranch, where she now works. She continues to raise her children and visits her nephew, Elmo Tully, as well as Lenora and Alicent, at least once a month.
Gwayne @ Criston Cole next season probably:

CRISTON COLE — Who do I have to speak to about if they can redo the prophecy?
Mom and Dad of OldTown🙏
It is my Birthday today🎉🎉🎉
Clearly when Otto Hightower and Alerie Florent wed the stars aligned or something because fuck look at their children
Love how Alicent just has an endless supply of Cunty Evil Guys to hang with.
Otto is fired? Well she has Larys and Criston. Larys is a creep? Well she still has Criston and now Aemond. Aemond fucked up bad? Still got Criston and Otto is back. Otto fired (again) and Criston increasingly volatile and untrustworthy? Luckily she has a racist brother for just this occasion.
I can be trusted to be normal about them and their dynamic: ) PROMISE :))
