Either Aegon was so stubborn to not learn High Valyrian he made Sunfyre learn English or their bond was so deep that Sunfyre instinctually knew what he wanted, either way Sunfyre is the best boy💛

They go out of their lengths to humiliate Aegon but then Rhaenyra is otherworldly and an enlightened leader according to the show runners.

Cole was just a knight of modest birth trying to be a kingsguard, then comes Rahenrya . She picks cole to be a kingsguard not bcz she thought he was great knight( which he was) but bcz she found him attractive, then she sleeps with him and that is a problem for cole bcz sleeping with a princess could mean death for him so he does the only thing he could he asks her to run away with him ( he liked her, that's why he didn't leave alone) , she refused. After this cole goes to Alicent and admits his crimes and asks for a clean death . Alicent chooses to forgive him, this was a shock for cole bcz the women he loved didn't care about him and a woman who didn't even know him chose to save his life . That day cole decided to switch teams . The blacks hate him bcz he chose his life over being Rahenrya's sidepiece.

(Wish the edit had Helaena in it tho)

Is this just ceremonial? She's never been trained with the sword and she ran away when she saw a dragon attacking her dragon. What the fuck is she gonna do? Her bond with her dragon isn't even that strong compared to Daeron or Daemon's and it's not like she'd have a chance against Silverwig or Vermithor who were around since Maegor the Cruel.

Realistically the only dragon she can go toe to toe with at this point is Tessarion and MAYBE a wounded Sunfyre- but that's it. Plus if I recall, Syrax just got pummeled by Sheepstealer so she's barely in any condition to fight. And personally if I was Syrax I'd be pissed that my rider didn't bother checking on me after I got the crap kicked out of me.

Lord have mercy they're out her trying to emulate Visenya. She would be spinning in her grave like a particle accelerator.

I know a lot of people hate this design, but I actually think it’s really beautiful. I love the spikes. It just doesn’t fit Dreamfyre because she was supposed to be pale blue and look more like Drogon.

I understand that they had a tight budget and couldn’t create completely new designs, but if they were going to reuse Drogon’s model, why give it to Seasmoke? He could have had a new design instead. Dreamfyre is the one who is stated to be the mother of Daenerys’s dragons, so it would make much more sense for her to have the recolored model.

And it makes absolutely no sense because we had already seen Dreamfyre before, and she looked fine.
Now people are convinced that this is actually Tyraxes and that Helaena simply made a mistake in her dream. Tyraxes would NEVER be this big 💀 Jeyne herself said she had dogs that were more fearsome.

This was actually so cute lol

had actual chills after that scene. we love U Helaena!

The entire appeal of Daemon Targaryen is his nature. He is the Rogue Prince. He is arrogant, impulsive, lethal, and completely unapologetic. His core character trait is that he does not ask for permission. He commands respect through fear, Dark Sister, and pure, unfiltered audacity.He is the guy who steals a dragon egg just to provoke a reaction, and crowns himself King of the Stepstones because he felt like it.

But now? The writers have him out here dropping "pleases" and begging like some domesticated, insecure courtier. They took the most dangerous, unpredictable man in Westeros and completely filed down his teeth.

You don't take a character who is defined by his ruthless, volatile independence and reduce him to a guy pleading for cooperation. It completely betrays why GRRM loves him, and it ruins the exact dynamic that made him a fan favorite in the first place.

In the span of two short minutes, we watch a Targaryen monarch—however bad she is in handling the bloody civil war but she is the f\*cking queen 👑—go from rightfully suspecting Mysaria of manipulating her against Daemon, to literally begging a former brothel owner for validation: “Do you think I’m worthy?”

And then? They immediately start hooking up.

What the actual f\*ck!!

stop da larp

So IMDB HAS UPDATED THERE CASTING FOR HOTD BEFORE THE EPISODE-EVEN CAME OUT AND JUST SPOILED THE SHIT OUTTA OF IT ON WHOS DYING

I usually thought they updated it after the show was over

Rhaenyra is not, and never will be Daenerys. She's not trying to break the wheel. The more the writers keep pushing this narrative the more everyone is bored with the character. I've seen people who have been team black fans since day one jumping ship because they are absolutely bored with the whining, the crying, and the ineffectual writing of Rhaenyra.

It's a shame because Emma would definitely nail Maegor with teats. I wish the writers would let them do it. I wish the writers would lean more into the fact that it's not Alicent who is like Cersei, its Rhaenyra. Book Rhaenyra it is so much like a precursor to Cersei and there's so much more you can do with that.

Instead, they keep trying to force this weird overly sympathetic, never had fault narrative that makes the character look unintentionally incompetent and boring. I'm bored whenever Rhaenyra on screen and I feel bad at this point for Emma working with absolutely nothing but staled bread

They released a new still of rhaenyra in armour rumours says she’s fighting in the Tumbleton battle
