I’ve never really seen anyone talking about this, but I noticed that one of the main reasons why I am team green is because team green feels like an actual team that is this whole thing together.
Team Green feels connected, united, like a family.
Team Black on the other hand is… meh.
And let me explain why:
Rhaenyra being delusional and thinking that Daemon is actually in love with her when he literally just groomed her since she was a child because he has always been after her title and now wants to be her king consort. They have one of the most toxic, creepy and problematic relationships in the entire fucking show.
Then there is the very awkward and uncomfortable moment of Rhaenyra and Daemon having sex on Laena’s funeral, while Rhaenys, Corlys, Baela, Rhaena and Laenor are mourning the loss of their daughter, mother and sister. How fucking disrespectful is this. And then the fact that they have Laenor “killed” just so they can get married and have their own perfectly blonde targaryen babies.
And Rhaenyra lying about Jace, Luke and Joff to everyone in her very own “team”, trying to gaslight not only Corlys, and Rhaenys but also her own sons into thinking they are trueborn, when even Jace himself. as a child, starts asking questions.
Then there are obviously Rhaenys and Corlys, who for some fucking reason neglected their trueborn granddaughters in favor of some dark haired white bastards their daughter-in-law is trying to pass off as their son’s children. Rhaenys is trying sooo hard to please her misogynistic husband because he so desperately wants his name to go down in history. Then the disrespectful betrothal of Jace and Luke to Baela and Rhaena. Rhaenyra is literally robbing these poor girls of their rightful claim to Driftmark and usurping them. And now, with Luke being dead, Rhaena’s claim dies with him.
Baela and Rhaena losing their mother, and now their father suddenly remarries, and has two blonde boys. Rhaenys losing BOTH her children and then seeing her son-in-law and daughter-in-law getting married soon after that.
Everyone in team black is after their own ambitions. They lie to each other, they don’t trust each other, they suspect each other in different things, they cheat on each other (with each other) and lie about it, they give each other forced ultimatums, and yada yada. All their scenes feel forced, tense, awkward and uncomfortable. They look so miserable with each other.
Team Green in this sense is the exact opposite.
Although their dynamic is far from perfect, obviously, you cannot deny that they care about each other very very deeply.
Alicent loves all of her children, and even while acknowledging their flaws, she still loves them.
Aemond might’ve been a little envious of Aegon, but he would never turn his back on him. He would never betray his brother, be would never try to take his crown from him.
Aegon was far from being a perfect man and king, but, as we know, it was his love for his family, and the fear of them getting hurt that made him a more responsible person and a more protective father, husband and brother. Sure, he is a cheater, but at least he’s honest about it and doesn’t lie to his wife. He is not a hypocrite.
Criston is working for Alicent not for ambition or for self-gain, but because he genuinely loves her, whether it’s romantic or platonic, doesn’t matter.
Helaena would never betray her family, her brothers, her mother. They are all she has. She would never switch sides even if given an opportunity.
And even Otto, arguably one of the main villains of the whole show, still loves his family. Sure, he is ambitious, but he would never become Corlys level of ambitious.
Team Green feels like they are fighting against the enemy all together, they have the same goals, they feel united and you can feel their devotion to each other. Especially after blood and cheese, when they become closer than ever. They’re in this together and only if they stick to each other, they can make it. It feels genuine and honest. They don’t hide anything from each other, they always have their loved ones’ best interests at heart, they would never in a million years betray each other. Yes, they are all doomed from the start, but their dedication and love to each other is truly something else.

I will never forgive hotd for the way they treated baela and rhaena.
baela and rhaena only exist in the show for the benefit of other characters. the little scraps of rhaena we get in ep 6 are only to build up the aemond & luke conflict later on. it was never about rhaena, because the subject of her being the only dragonless kid in her generation is literally never brought up again until daemon's dragon count in ep 10 when he gives her that nasty look = until the blacks NEED rhaena to claim a dragon to fight for them.
laena was the girls' mother. they loved her deeply. but apparently they just accept the fact that their dad married another women 2 days after their mom died. the girls are not blind or deaf, and were old enough to see the way daemon treated laena. but they seem to have no resentment towards daemon or rhaenyra. (and don't give me the BuT iT WaSn'T RhAeNyRa's fAuLt BS. yeah, rhaenyra is not their mother and has no responsibly towards them. BUT. there's just no way the 10yo baela and rhaena would not hate the woman their father replaced their beloved mother with. there will always be resentment. even when they grow up).
baela was fostered at driftmark for years, she was raised by rhaenys. she's corlys's oldest grandchild. but she's robbed of her inheritance by someone who has 0 velaryon blood and have no feelings or opinions about that?
they don't have any feelings or opinions about being used for their velaryon blood to cover up for their stepmom ? they don't care about being married off without even being told beforehand? they have no feelings \ opinions about ANY OF THIS??????
at least with rhaenys they showed us that she was feeling resentful and angry, with baela and rhaena we get nothing. nothing! the girls barely appear, and when they do appear they barely talk and when they do it's always for the benefit of someone else.

I think the love that Rhaenys gets is kind of insane when you really look at her as a character. Because frankly she is insanely hypocritical and selfish.
Rhaenys is incredibly passive in her behaviors and essentially dedicates her life to make her husband happy. Which is totally fine and her choice…except for the fact that she insults Alicent for serving the men in her life and belittles her for it.
She willingly offers up her 12 year old child to a creepy older man to get her blood on the throne and to please her husband by getting his blood on the throne. Which is just as bad (arguably worse than) Otto offering up his 15 year old. So if you hate him, hate Rhaenys.
She kills a bunch of small folk without a care simply to show off that she’s powerful and better and can’t be chained down. And I’m sorry, if you hated Cersei for blowing up the sept (as her one and only option to survive) and the smallfolk in and around it…you can’t support Rhaenys caving the walls in on a bunch of people for no reason.
And really consider this. In the case of Otto, everyone hates him for plotting to get his daughter to marry Viserys and then get his grandchildren on the throne over Rhaenyra. But if Viserys had taken the ludicrous offer from Rhaenys to marry her 12 year old daughter…do you think she and her husband would’ve accepted Rhaenyra as heir? Obviously not. If Viserys married Laena and had sons with her, Corlys and Rhaenys would’ve been the #1 supporters of the “Rhaenyra isn’t the heir” brigade. They’d have used all their power to intimidate Viserys until he changed his mind, and if he didn’t…as soon as Viserys would die, they’d have their grandson on that iron chair faster than you can say “Rest in Peace”.
The only reason she supports Rhaenyra now is because of the marriage between the strong boys and her granddaughters. And the concept of her husbands “blood” being on the throne in name.
You can’t convince me in any way that Rhaenys is in any way a girlboss or feminist. What she is a hypocritical woman who, if the circumstances were different, would place herself and her family above Rhaenyra in a heartbeat. Lord knows she tried.

I get the Otto hate, I do, he's like 88% cunt 12% bitch, but why is that same hatred not directed at Corlys as well? They're both politically minded, and offered up their daughters to the king, why is one better than the other?
They both wanted their young daughter to marry Viserys, a man old enough to be their father, so they could become Queen. They both had the Iron Throne in their sight, and Corlys actually had a low key tantrum when Viserys chose not to marry a 12 year old Laena.
Otto was a plotter and a schemer, he wanted his grandson on the throne no matter what, but if Viserys had married Laena, do people really think Corlys would have accepted a grandson of his being passed over in favour of Rhaenyra either?
Corlys, who has one of the biggest ego's in the whole show, who consistently brings up the fact his wife Rhaenys should have been Queen. Who went behind the kings back to involve Daemon in the war at the Stepstones after Viserys declared his intent to marry Alicent instead of Laena?
He would have done everything in his ability to get his grandson declared heir over Rhaenyra, just like Otto. But Corlys would have had a lot more power than Otto, as Lord of Driftmark, the husband of a dragon rider and commander of the Velaryon fleet.
Their actions and motives aren't that different, but they're viewed completely different for some reason.

rhaenys is such a hypocrite. she is an actual claimant to the iron throne and has a female, egg-laying dragon at her disposal, thus allowing her to provide dragon eggs for her own children, which she absolutely does! at one point, house velaryon ends up with two dragonriders (rhaenys & laenor), the exact amount house targaryen has (daemon, rhaenyra). when laena claims vhagar, the balance actually becomes 3-2. 
she is married to corlys velaryon, a very rich man with the ability to summon a very impressive fleet - military might few other lords can dispose of. this grants her a high amount of privilege that no other woman in westeros has, not even aemma or alicent (a half-targaryen with no dragon and a lowly andal woman with no special magical blood, daughter of a second son, not even the lord of oldtown).
yet rhaenys spends the entirety of her life kowtowing to the men around her, even acquiescing to the batshit crazy ploy of marrying her 12-year-old daughter to the king, just because her husband is obsessed with the idea of being the future king’s grandfather. she allows rhaenyra to make a mockery of her adoptive house by having 3 obvious bastards. yes, laenor should be giving part of the blame because he accepts to be cuckolded in such a conspicuous manner, but it creates very real, very valid feelings of disgruntlement within the velaryon cousins when it comes to succession rights. passing off jace as a legitimate heir to the iron throne could be brushed off as the targaryens’ problem, but pushing luke as a claimant to the driftwood throne is absolutely house velaryon’s problem. rhaenys ultimately accepts her granddaughters to be relegated to the status of wives, when they should be heiresses in their own right. she bends over backwards to accommodate rhaenyra when she believes she had her own son killed, just because her husband wants bragging rights for being the king’s “grandfather”!!! this is insane!!! 
jace won’t even be a velaryon when he becomes king, since viserys insisted he revert to the surname targaryen. his kingship isn’t even guaranteed, since he is so obviously not laenor’s child, that a succession war is very likely to be fought over his illegitimacy. so what exactly is all of this tomfoolery even for? 
and then she has the gall to lecture alicent about serving the patriarchy. girl, please go out and touch some grass!!! 😭
how could alicent “imagine herself on the iron throne” when she has zero claim to it? rhaenys, like rhaenyra, has done nothing for the rights of womankind, but enjoys lording over other women, mocking their coping mechanisms. 
how about she start imagining baela on the driftwood throne instead and actually does something about it

Not Team Black friendly
None of my upcoming HOTD fics will be team black, Viserys, Daemon, Rhaenyra, Corlys or Rhaenys and Strong boys friendly. Please stop sending messages hoping to change my mind about Daemon not being a paedophile and domestic abuser.
I don’t support people who celebrate the murder of a six year old and threatening to rape a six year old girl in front of their mother. Nor do I support a woman who sends men to raid septs and rape civilians.
These are the things that will not be included:
Aegon being a rapist and a shitty brother. In the books, he loved his family and went full warrior and that’s how he’ll be in my fics.
Aemond being a psychopath and rapist.
Daemon being nice, he isn’t a nice man and nor is he a good father.
Viserys being a good father, he wasn’t a good father to any of his children and he only cared about Rhaenyra.
Anti Alicent Hightower, I adore that woman and she’s been through hell.
Helaena dies, hell no. Helaena will be given happiness in my fics and no B&C in my stories.
Not Cregan Stark friendly, I think he’s overrated and I’m not a fan of him. Nor will he be having affairs with my OC’s.
Jacaerys, Lucerys, Joffrey, Baela and Rhaena will not be redeemed in my fics. In my opinion, they’re bullies.

My thoughts on Vaemond is that he had valid concerns and I think people have to understand that wanting to have power is not necessarily a bad thing. At the end of the day it’s pretty obvious visually that those 3 strong boys are bastards and are not of velaryon blood. It’s just an insult to house Velaryon. Regardless whether Laenor accepted them due to fertility isues/lack of trying etc, from an outside perspective of the nobility in a medieval setting she has cuckolded her husband. Imagine if Rhaenrya was not a crown princess from the royal line, I don’t think another lady would have got away with it or Corlys’s avid support as he is being ambitious/power hungry in wanting to get his blood/name on the iron throne. So when obviously Laenor/Rhaenrya didn’t do their duty in having legitimate children. I wonder if he didn’t kick up a fuss because he couldn’t question/actively go against the king daughter without losing his head & causing dissent. Also, their families were very intertwined with Daemon being married to laena at the time. Plus, he knew the king would favour her, so had to be hush about it due to these factors. That would be logical thinking the show could have given to Corlys but Rhaenrya would be portrayed as negatively abusing her station/power & the show couldn’t ever possibly have that for her 🙄.
That line for corlys reason is stupid in my opinion that “history remembers names not blood” when the strong boys have their legitimacy questioned/rumoured so heavily that will be attached to them within history- whilst obviously not confirmed it will still be talked about. Also, whilst corlys may be head of his house he cannot willing decide his heir knowing full well they do not have a blood claim to it & break succession law. He is the head and should think of & has the responsibility of the well-being of the entire family & not deprive those with a legal blood claim due to his desire for his own ‘legacy’. 
Rhaenrya was happily in all essence to ‘usurp’ driftmark throne for her son because of the power it will bring Luke- a second son who in any other setting would inherit nothing. So she is being power hungry herself here on behalf of her family. Abusing her father & Corlys’s power as accomplices for this farce. The extended velaryons have a right to be affronted/worried by this. So vaemond whilst corlys was in the 50/50 whether he would live & the king not being well enough to handle his duties, both who would not be impartial in this matter, saw an opportunity and took it. 
The argument that he should argue for Baela or rhaena to inherit, which I agree 100% they should have been corlys rightful heirs due to being legitimate daughters of laena- who was I believe is corlys first child in the show, but, corlys due to his own misogyny & ambitions chose to bypass them. Funny, I don’t see a lot of people criticise corlys for this (Rhaenys even pleaded for Laena’s daughters to be named but corlys denied her). Thus, Rhaenrya only decides to offer marriage pacts to her step daughters when she’s backed in a corner & realises that Rhaenys was more than likely going to not back her & claim for Baela. As a ‘fix-it’ so Baela get promoted to queen consort (more powerful position than lady of driftmark) & Rhaenys knowing her husband ambitions & desires for getting his blood on the throne will get his wishes through future grandchild. Maybe this time the plan will work out for them if Baela doesn’t die from childbirth & have a stillborn that is. So Rhaenys ends up backing Rhaenrya with this deal. 
However, arguably Rhaena is short changed of her birth right & demoted to being lady wife of driftmark (no power as Luke is the decision maker & can overrule/go against her- we saw this with Corlys/Rhaenys). A lot of people say it doesn’t matter if Luke is lord because their kids will end up having velaryon blood. Again, that is only the case if they successfully have a child together. The show has already shown the difficulties/mortality of mother & child during labour. What if scenario if rhaena dies in childbirth alongside the babe. Luke is then free to remarry whomever/lady of another family & what will the extended velaryons do then??? 
I think people have to understand that blood is important in this society as why else is kinslaying so accursed because it offers protection. Luke has no blood kinship or have any relations/interactions or living at driftmark towards the extended velaryons & with his mothers/stepfather actions have proved that they can be harmed/killed. Also, this child Luke has already shown to having a lack of remorse in his dealings with Aemond (his blood kin) & others, seems to be a-okay with his parents actions in people being killed over it & stealing his step sister Baela’s claim to Driftmark. Luke growing up under Daemrya’s tutelage doesn’t bode well for the extended Velaryons.
Back to vaemond, another reason he is thinking to fight for his claim is that corlys himself bypassed his legitimate granddaughters, thus, showing that the current head of house velaryon Corlys does have a preference for male relatives to inherit . Also, in the books Corlys got his bastard son/grandson?? legitimised to inherit driftmark during the war, again bypassing his granddaughters. So, as Corlys is currently out of commission, Vaemond by all rights is logical to push himself as he is the next living legitimate blood related male. He took his chance but alas was thwarted by viserys arrival & then Rhaenys, whether she had decided to agree prior to Viserys sitting down, smartly knowing how things would play in Rhaenrya favour declared aloud (so that Rhaenrya had to uphold the bargain) the marriage pact deals to the court & sided with her. At this point, he should have been smart & backed off but was goaded & lost his life for it.

i am sorry but people who blindlessly stan the black team are so funny because who are you stanning exactly? daemon, wife killer, groomer, obsessed with valyrian blood? the guy who celebrated laena by not comforting his own daughters and then having sex with his niece on the day of laena’s funeral? the one who publicly laughed during his wife’s funeral? the one who celebrated his newphew’s death and called him “the heir for a day” (while his brother and niece were grieving his sister in law)? viserys who was a failure as a king and as a husband and as a father? viserys who killed aemma, who only named rhaenyra heir to spite daemon? and then immediately having doubts about rhaenyra when aegon was born? viserys who out of everyone chose a teenager to marry and even though he forced her to have not one, but three (four?) children, he ignores all of these children? and who else exactly? rhaenyra who made it clear she’s the kind of mother who thinks her children can do no wrong? who wanted to interrogate her kid brother that had just lost an eye maybe an hour earlier?
btw reminder that corlys tried to do the exact same thing as otto hightower except his daughter was 12. 
like imagine knowing all this and still channeling most of your hate on alicent hightower

would love to see your thoughts on vaemond like I’m trembling with anticipation
He’s just…. Tragic to me. I actually like the idea of him being Corlys’ brother versus his nephew (like in the book) because of the parallel it sets up with the other brother duos we get.
I would have to go back and check, but I don’t think an actual date was given for when their parents die. For corwyn, their father, it ranges from like 60-90 AC or something. Corlys was born in the 50s so they probably grew up like Viserys and Daemon - without their parents. There is a really interesting through line between these second sons that we see (Daemon, vaemond, and Aemond). I know he isn’t character of real significance compared to the other two, but it would have been cool to see him navigate that. Especially since Corlys, his older brother and house leader, is constantly seeking validation in other forms (despite creating the house’s wealth basically himself). I would think Vaemond would have been those on some of those voyages Corlys took. He was there for the stepstones; even criticizes Daemon during it lmao and petitioned for help from Viserys. So, we get the sense he’s not a huge fan of some of the Targs. It also makes me wonder how he felt about rhaenys since he was fine publicly contesting her and corlys’ wishes. It gives off the vibe that vaemond was there for his brother through it all… till their house was in peril.
Idk just imagine it’s you and your brother against the world. He goes off and marries a dragon rider (probably under the guise of thinking he would be king consort or at the very least acquire more power through having dragon riding velaryons), and then said older brother essentially never gets over not getting the crown in the family. It leads not only the detriment of your house, but also your relationship with him - it cost you your life when you point out the obvious. Then in the afterlife you have to watch your house crash and burn for supporting the women you said they shouldn’t. TRAGIC!
I don’t like that they made him call Rhaenyra a whore. I don’t like that Daemon got his Gary Stu moment. Vaemond getting slain and then ate by a dragon in the book (and the cutting out of the silent fives tongues like Viserys threatened) was supposed to be a sign of how cruel Rhaenyra and Daemon can be. That Rhaenyra even after putting herself in the hole, was willing to claw and fight for the crown. As well as how far Viserys had let the lie go on. It was not his house up in the air so he didn’t care… till it was 🤷🏽‍♀️

another reason why corlys is so "blind" to jace, luke, and joffrey's parentage is that his refusal to accept the obvious mirrors his refusal to accept that his son was in fact, gay.

"History does not remember blood; it remembers names."
Episodes 7
What do you think of Corly's and this speech? What kind of relationship do you suppose he has with the strong boys
I never particularly liked Corlys as a character. Although Otto is ambitious as well, you can still see that he genuinely loves his daughter, even in his own twisted way. Otto was never my favorite either but he is understandable in many ways.
But Corlys never cared about Laena, Baela or Rhaena. He only cares about his last name and his own “bloodline” and therefore gaslights himself into accepting Rhaenyra’s bastards as Laenor’s children and names them his heirs. It’s actually quite sad. He is so desperate for an heir that he is willing to accept three boys, that are DEFINITELY not his grandchildren, as heirs, just because he can’t even consider to name Laena’s daughters heirs.
His whole “history doesn’t remember blood, it remembers names” is understandable, sure, and even true to some extent, but it’s still kinda dumb and very misogynistic.
You could draw a “parallel” between him and Viserys, where one does name a female descendant as heir (Rhaenyra) while neglecting his sons, while the other neglects his female descendants (Laena, Baela, Rhaena) and names three random bastards as heirs just because they’re boys.
I have a feeling that even if Laena gave birth to male children, Corlys wouldn’t have accepted them, because their last name was still Targaryen and not Valaryon. And so the only acceptable combo was a son of his son.
Maybe he did genuinely like Lucerys, but that relationship feels a little awkward and forced because I feel like both of them knew about what was actually going on.
(sorry that it took so long to answer this ask)

apparently i've really upset the TB stans in my baela being fostered over luke post. apparently they are angry about me saying that baela should've inherited driftmark. LMAO
how can you support rhaenyra's claim but say that luke should be heir over baela??? even if luke was legitimate, baela is older and the daughter of laena - laenor's OLDER sister. make it make sense please
yeah, corlys chose luke as his heir and robbed his granddaughters of their birthright. (and no, marrying luke to rhaena solves nothing because she will be his consort. without any actual power or influence.) no one is blaming rhaenyra for his decisions.
also, they claim that we're hypocrites for supporting aegon but also supporting baela over vaemond (?). first of all, and i feel like i've said it so many times, i'm not TG because i believe that men should inherit over women - i just like TG characters better!!!!! i'm not on team rhaenyra because i find her character boring as hell. (also, the law does say daughters before uncles, so baela's claim is still stronger then vaemond's). and i don't support vaemond being named heir to driftmark - but he had every right to be angry about luke and rhaenyra stealing his home.

LMAO at people thinking Rhaenys is some Girl Boss and really showed Alicent like her ass isn't letting her trueborn grand-daughters get cucked out of inheriting Driftmark by Rhaenyra's loser bastard sons.
Rhaenys and Corlys are the biggest losers in the show, Idk if there is an ounce of dignity left between them. There are no two characters who have taken so much blistering disrespect & insult lying down, and are somehow respected for it 😭
Rhaenys' delusional hypocrisy is well documented at this point- can't get her throne, can't get her granddaughter Driftmark, can't blow her nose unless her husband tells her first- but wants to lecture others on serving the wishes of men (but never in front of any men el oh el). In his desperation for power, Corlys has done everything from pimp out his CHILD to Viserys, to marrying his gay son to the king's heir just for her to pop out 3 bastards that aren't even the right race, forget the hair. He sat quiet while both of his children died one after the other, and their spouses humiliated them even in death. (Ffs he thinks his son was murdered by those two!) He's given away his family's seat to a Strong bastard, rather than his own blood. He's going to fight for a family who wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire and his wife is getting barbecued because of it. But we're supposed to admire him because... ?
It's another reason I want Jace to exercise his Rhaenyra given rights and go for Sara Snow, while betrothed to their granddaughter. I'm curious to see how those two chuckleheads justify that one and whether they'll ever be reunited with their spines again.

"History does not remember blood; it remembers names." 
Episodes 7
What do you think of Corly's and this speech? What kind of relationship do you suppose he has with the strong boys
corlys is just a mess
i guess he is just an arriviste par excellence. he is obsessed with acquiring status and everything he does is to advance HIMSELF further. when push comes to shove, i'm not really sure he even cares about his family. he cares about the concept of house velaryon, surely, because he wants bragging rights that he's part of a powerful noble family, but individually?
i'll concede he cares about his immediate family to some extent, because he grieves when his children die, but he lets laenor became the butt of public jokes by mis-managing his arrangement to rhaenyra, he cheats on rhaenys, disrespects her, his granddaughters and his trueborn cousins/nephews by insisting on alyn as heir and actually even goes out of his way to repeatedly ignore baela and rhaena and pass them over in the line of inheritance.
the absolute worst example of his audacity is when baela and rhaena bust him of prison during the hour of the wolf, saving his life, and THEN he still thinks alyn is a better heir than either of them ?? i'm not even a stan but this is wild. i have to be honest because i have not gone over to the other side and observed how the discourse has changed, but it was always baffling to me how self-professed baela & rhaena fans seemingly had no issues with this. they are often lamenting how green-aligned fans supposedly want to keep helaena as the long-suffering wife of aegon & i have to say. girl. look in your own backyard first.
i suppose i should be thankful corlys at least thought enough of baela to request her release when aegon ii imprisoned her
so, in this context, yeah, i guess he was nice to the strong boys. but his preoccupation with them is ultimately in service of himself and to the detriment of the rest of his house. he would not have been so welcoming if his daughter-in-law was not a targaryen princess whose children all had dragons.
he personally wants to be the father-in-law and then grandfather to the ruling monarch, so he is willing to humiliate the rest of his family members in order to do so. his legal wife rhaenys has heirs of her own (and his!) body, namely baela and rhaena; his trueborn cousins and nephews are other alternatives; but corlys skips all of them first in favour of rhaenyra's bastard and then in favour of his own bastard. he is such a man about everything. he brought wealth to the family, so now everyone must sing and dance to his tune, no matter what the law says. several of his nephews end up fighting for the greens because of his poor management of family affairs

Newsflash
Friendly reminder that in the books, Daemon would have sex with young girls as soon as they’d had a period. If that’s not a sign of being a child predator, then Daemon stans need psychiatric help.
Both Daemon and Viserys are rapists, Viserys especially as he raped Alicent and forced her to have children in a marriage that she never wanted. Alicent is a victim, she was a child who was forced to have children and honestly, I’m not surprised Aemma struggled with conceiving as Viserys slept with her when she was only 13 years old.
Don’t even get me started on Corlys and Rhaenys, they were both happy at the thought of their twelve-year old daughter marrying a man old enough to be her father. Otto is just as bad and sickens me.
Feel free to discuss the topic with me in a chat, but I am not team black or team Daemon and Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra made me dislike her, after she treated her siblings like trash and dishonoured Aemma’s memory by lying.
As for Rhaenys, I have no sympathy for her or her bully granddaughters.
