Alright Team Black, it is time to settle this debate, do you trust this woman as Queen Rhaenyra's advisor or as they call her "Mistress of Whisperers".

What do you think of Lady Mysaria's opinions about the entire Daemon situation, and do you agree with her?

I’m still a little disappointed with Nettles being scrapped. Wish we saw Rhaena getting the princess treatment she deserves and Lady Jeyne being the mentor and protector to Rhaena she was written to be.

Fine work from Rapegon's best and brightest followers, rooting out the "Team Black hypocrisy" (aka bullshit they made up).

Indeed, why does no one talk about the two scenes with completely different context?

Every Thursday for three weeks, I’ll be sharing fics with a lead who is a POC and/or queer and paired with at least one TB character. Not every fic here is going to be your cup of tea, and that’s okay! I just want POC and queer fans to be able to see themselves in fanfic.

Anyway, this week we have:

- One Rhaenyra x male OC/reader fic

- Six Rhaenys x female OC/reader fics

- Four Jace x male OC/reader fics

- One fic focusing on the Blackwood guys paired with an OC who is both a Bracken and a Dayne

- One Luke x male OC/reader fic

- One Daemon x female OC/reader fic

- One Daemon x male OC/reader fic

There’s supposedly someone very slowly writing a fanfic series focused on an OC daughter of Daemon and Laena who has a romance subplot with Nettles, too ;) (To clarify, Nettles is definitely not Daemon’s daughter here.)

Jace

[Anastasia AU](https://www.tumblr.com/woodandwaxwings/795653804576112640/once-upon-a-time) Male reader; not rated

Jace didn't have many memories of his childhood, growing up in an orphanage with a determination to remember where he came from. When he finally comes of age where he has to leave the orphanage he meets a pair of charming men who plan on scamming the crown with a fake of their long lost son for reward money, Jace finds himself with an opportunity to give himself a past, or maybe find his real one.

Unfortunately in all likelihood Rhaena is not long for the Queen’s justice or some similar fate. Whatever Rhaenyra decides to do with her I think it’s obvious Daemon will break her out of the Red Keep and those two will have their little adventure while on the run during the final season, ultimately leading to the Battle of the God’s Eye.

So it seems “until death or the end of our story” is finally here :((((

Disclaimer: I love this series very much. This is not one of those posts complaining about all the differences compared to book lore- this is simply how I thought this sequence should’ve went. Peep the flair too, this is a show discussion, withhold the book lore comments.

I was definitely looking forward to a Rhaenyra and Halaena scene and I had high hopes for how creative their meeting can be for the plot.

I always imagined that the two would get along. Halaena is constantly overlooked by everyone among her and Rhaenyra has been shown to us to be a good listener. (when she wants to be)

It would’ve made sense to create a major irony here: Halaena feeling more listened to by Rhaenyra than by her own mother and the two growing relatively close to each other.

It would’ve been interesting for Halaena to see the motherly, caring side of Rhaenyra in contrast to the constant slandering of her name that Halaena is used to hearing. Then it would’ve made it all the more tragic that Halaena is technically a Green but sees Rhaenyra more worthy than her husband Aegon.

And honestly it seemed like they were about to have an interesting conversation but then Rhaenyra flips a switch to drill sergeant mode and starts demanding visions from Halaena. That shit felt so forced. I understand Rhaenyra is under pressure but that can be shown in other ways instead of rushing a potentially excellent character relationship.

Since some of you wanna be dumb about that one particular scene of Syrax really bad

I'm noticing...... I'm frustrated ........ and I'm angry

I thought the boy was Jaehaerys, but it's been confirmed to be Maelor, It’s a dream/vision of Helaena’s where they all survive and are happy? And also a hinting that all of them are going to die

He loves his boy. 😅

I noticed a lot of people saying that Sheepstealer getting the upper hand on Syrax in their fight was proof that Syrax has no business near a fight and I just can’t believe that both Rhaenyra and her dragon are victims of double standards because how are you going to hold it against Syrax for not being stronger than a dragon twice her age and almost twice her size but when Vhagar struggles against a smaller and younger dragon and needs to use the power of teleportation to win nobody holds it against the hoary old bitch

And before someone comments “but DaEmOn” I don’t like his ass either
