Harwin Strong - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
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
While I think the Jace and Rhaenyra scene in episode 7 was great, I think it should have been a bit longer cause this is obviously something that has been building up in Jace for a while.
I think Jace and Rhaenyra should have gotten into a full-blown screaming match. Rhaenyra probably starts to cry and throws wine at Jace while he demands the truth from her, as a Spanish guitar plays in the background. Then out of nowhere Harwin Strong would burst into the room, revealing he wasn't the one who died that night it was his evil twin, Harlose. He declares himself Jace's father until surprise Criston Cole enters the room. He admits to his affair with Rhaenyra and that he is Jace's father. Harwin and Criston then begin to get into an argument over who is Jace's real father. The scene suddenly cuts to Alicent on a balcony in the Red Keep, revealing her to be Jace's real father. A flashback also reveals Rhaenyra got amnesia 16 years ago which is how she doesn't remember their love affair. The end.
HOTD Telenovela go brrr
