Sister, mother & Queen✨

She should have been the delight of the kingdom ☀️🥹
am I the only one who's scared for the upcoming Aegon the Conqueror adaptation...? The Dance is a lost case. It's destroyed, ruined, made into a minced meat and served as dog's food. It's unsalvaegable atp. But HBO wants to do the same to Aegon and his sisters and it makes me both furious and frightened. Mattson Tomlin will be the screenwriter. Ok, so far so good. He seems like a decent guy. He didn't post anything that'd imply he's going to turn this series into his own fanfic. But what next? I've researched the process of making a tv show, and if I'm not mistaken, Tomlin's sole job is to write the "core" of the story (the sequence of events, how it might begin and on what note should it end, a rough draft of dialoques, things like that) And then that script will be passed forward to five other screenwrites who can do with it whatever they want. What if Condal and Hess - the biggest f**cking hacks in the whole world - will be among those screenwriters chosen by HBO?? It's going be a nightmare. Oh god, the villainization of Rhaenys and Visenya while also making them a total weaklings without ambition or agenda. And yes, it's more likely than not that these asshats will make the Conquest, as well. They're HBO's favorites, since they made the ever successful House of the Alicent.
Oh, and I'm sure they gonna fuck the dragons just as much as their riders. Do you want to see Aegon riding a saggy, rotting Balerion with a dropping neck? Well that's exactly what you gonna get.
They hate Targaryens and everything that's associated with them.
Oh no, I'm right there with you anon. I honestly hope this show somehow dies like the Snow show. His perception of Daenerys is extremely telling of his inability to understand the bigger picture of the story.
Him accusing Dany of being "genocidal" in season 3 is fucking ridiculous. He's somehow construing her actions to overthrow a monstrous and oppressive system as genocide. Like, media literacy is just not present apparently. Since Dany shares parallels with the Conquerors, this perception is very... concerning. So, from my perspective, this is already doomed to be another shit show.
Considering how often people in the fandom like to interpret the relationship of the Conquerors as strained at best, I have very little confidence anyone HBO hires will be much different. HBO definitely hates the idea of any healthy relationships, romantic or otherwise, as we've seen in GOT and HOTD. I definitely think Visenya will end up hating Aegon and/or Rhaenys, and Aegon will probably resent Visenya and abuse Rhaenys.
I've always thought the GOT dragons were extremely uninspired. They dulled their colors and made them all look the same. I liked the HOTD dragons a lot more; but I agree that Vhagar looks kinda bad (she looks like a turtle 😭). Since Balerion is supposed to be older than Vhagar is in HOTD, they might go with the same idea for him, which is sad. Especially since they did a good job with Caraxes and Syrax (aside from keeping her the same size the whole show).
It's so sad and frustrating how determined HBO are to just destroy everything connected to ASOIAF. Time and again, they've proven that they just don't understand what GRRM wrote at all.
do you think that rhaenys and visenya were romantically involved like a part of the fandom believes? i personally very much believe that. i fully believe that all three of the conquerors were on good terms with each other and loved each other. the belief about aegon disliking visenya is just the maesters bs. though i do think that the reason their relationship became strained after rhaenys death was because visenya couldn’t forgive aegon for making peace with dorne. and that one of the reasons she worked so hard to uphold everything once the uprisings and such began was because she didn’t want everything want everything to be for naught and for rhaenys death to have occurred for no reason. but then again this is just me speculating. i really do hope for more sapphic asoiaf characters, the denial of laenyra is already bad enough.
Yeah anon, I'm definitely a believer in the Conqueror Threesome lmao. I think that the in-universe F&B writers couldn't handle the Conquerors not being heteronormative, so they wrote them they way they did. I also totally agree with your speculations, those make a lot of sense to me.
Now, I'm not surprised with how people in the fandom portray them. This fandom for some reason has always been very trad/conservative, so their insistence on a traditional love triangle makes sense. Especially when it comes to Visenya. She's a non-conforming woman, so she's usually portrayed as bloodthirsty, jealous, and hateful.
Because of this and how HBO has handled other Targaryen women/relationships, I have almost no hope for the Conquerors show. I think that they'll go the route of making Visenya hate Aegon and Rhaenys. While having extremely toxic sapphic undertones between Visenya and Rhaenys purely to queer bate viewers, ala rhaenicent. I hope this doesn't happen, I would love to see the Conquerors properly portrayed on screen.
Visenya and Rhaenys of House Targaryen

I would like to understand why so many people say that Rhaenys was useless compared to Visenya in the conquest if Rhaenys and Visenya conquered almost the same number of houses.
I'm currently reading fire and blood and until now Rhaenys and Visenya conquered almost the same number of houses, and Rhenys is the one who has had difficulty with the kings of these houses, and even with difficulty she conquered everything.
Aegon literally sent her to battle, and don't try to convince me that he didn't bc he knew with whom he was dealing.
Visenya literally had no difficulty on conquering the places she went while rhaenys was always in battles.
Rhaenys would've conquered and even more than Visenya and Aegon if she had conquered Dorne, so???
I believe that she would've conquered Dorne if Aegon didn't have the desire of submission, and I say it bc in the book Rhaenys shows herself as a great politician, she was so good that she even arrenged marriages among the great houses to hinder civil wars and to give an end to old conflicts.
Finalmente comecei a ler fogo e sangue, e estava na expectativa de gostar da rã amarela, mas simplesmente não consigo respeitar uma mulher maluca com delírios de grandeza que deixa mulheres, crianças e idosos para serem queimados pelos Targeryen, e respeito menos ainda quem usa a morte da rainha Rhaenys pra falarem que ela era fraca sendo que quando pesquisei o grrm falou que matar um dragão era quase impossível e que Dorne foi um acidente.
Respeitaria a Meria se ela tivesse sido mulher o suficiente pra entrar em acordo com o Aegon, um acordo que favorecesse Dorne e que os deixassem submissos, mas ela realmente parecia estar empenhada em provar que era maior que os Targeryen e que podia vencê-los, o que pra mim ela não conseguiu já que morreu com Dorne ainda em guerra.
Sinceramente, o povo dornês não parecia estar nem aí se eram conquistados ou não, e também não faria diferença se fossem pq em nenhum momento eles tiveram sua cultura, costumes, língua ou qualquer coisa nativa que fosse ameaçada pelos conquistadores.
Acho uma merda esse papo de conquista, principalmente pq no livro simplesmente não há motivação nenhuma pra isso, e até agora a gente não sabe se esse sonho do Aegon é canon, mas me parece que a Meria não queria ser conquistada apenas por ego mesmo, até pq viu o povo morrer e não ligou como se eles próprios levassem o nome e o sangue martell nas veias.
Vou continuar achando os Martell muito foda, amo a história da Nymeria e das cobras da areia, mas se até os stark se ajoelharam quem são eles pra não querer fazer o mesmo? Isso por um caso é uma desonra em meio a todo o caos que estava acontecendo?
The more I read fire and blood more I hate Visenya.
Before starting this book I really hoping to like her, but she's fucking awful with everyone, and to be honest she isn't what everyone says she is which makes me frustrated bc I was thinking that she was some kind of largetha but she's not.
I understand part of the hype, but I still don't know why people hate rhaenys for being a conquer if visenya is as much as she is, and she's not only a conqueror but probably a kinslayer too.
Visenya is that type of person who lived enough to become a villain, and what a dumb villain. Ok, she was smart when she spred to everyone in Westeros that Aenys was weak, but there are so many decisions that she made based only on what she knows about war. I was considering that maybe she understood propaganda just like rhaenys did, but I won't consider rumors a propaganda here, mainly bc she thought that fierce was the only way to get what she wanted and bc she didn't understand the smallfoks and the power that faith has.
She also supported Maegor, and I know that she was dead when he r*pe* his wives, but he was a weirdo even as a child and bc of him the house targeryen almost disappeared, so I'll consider here that she was a fucking old bitch who just wanted her blood on the throne.
Everyone reads her as some type of hero, but she's far from it. For me, she looks like some kind of megalomaniac who could do anything to get what she wanted.
And just to make one more thing clear, even catelyn stark killed an assassin, and she didn't have any training.
No one is writing about Aegon and Rhaenys, I guess I have to be the first to give the first step

I absolutely love drawing the Conquerors and all the details that go into them. Aegon's design is heavily inspired by @/tumbledrylow___ on TikTok!
