How different the events would have been if viserys did made aegon 2 his heir?
Would daemon have seduced Rhaenyra then and what's viserys reaction would have been?
Whom viserys would have wanted her to marry in this case daemon or laenor or someone else
Also is it possible that a dance would take place in this case too. Maybe with daemon marrying rhaenyra and using her being firstborn as excuse and with velaryons and possibly north at his side and daemon striking first.
Hi there Anon! And per my usual XD sorry for this huge delay!
So, the question is quite complex so I will do my best to answer this one. Let's begin with the easiest part of it all, of "Would daemon have seduced Rhaenyra then and what's viserys reaction would have been?"
The answer is absolutely yes without a shadow of a doubt and for several reason:
1- Even if not the heir, had Rhaenyra been not remained the heir in this scenario, should her half-brothers die, either her or Daemon would come next. Daemon wanting to tie their claim as one would make a LOT of sense for both, and he absolutely was the kind of calculating and shrewd man who could see this. Again, should Viserys's sons die, instead of a debate of "Who comes next? The king's brother or his daughter?" That question wouldn't exist both would.
2- From a Targaryen stand-point, with Daemon having no sister, a niece would be the second best thing. And Rhaenyra, like himself, was a dragonrider. We also know (because George didn't do a good job on a lot but he did on this) that Daemon really wanted a son, and by a Targaryen stand-point, again, Rhaenyra would be the best choice for baby mama.
3- Even if she was not helping his ambitions, Rhaenyra was in Daemon's own words "the most beautiful maid in all of the Seven Kingdoms" (sorry if the exact wording is escaping me but I am too lazy to go and grab my copy of Fire and Blood right now hehe XD). She was also the Realm's Delight and the prize everything straight enough and that had a 🐔 was lusting after. In 111 AC to top her looks, Rhaenyra was also young (i.e., 14) and a virgin according to every source available. All things Daemon liked, so if for nothing else he would definitely want to have her for the sake of his 🐔 even if it was just as a lover.
4- Given his past with Viserys, I don't put it past Daemon to have seduced Rhaenyra in canon as a sort of... vengeance. Like it's not top 3 motive, but it's there. Like pleasant side-effect of the seduction, and that would still hold true here.
Maybe moving on to Rhaenyra's marriage. Well, I don't think under the scenario of her not being heir that her choice of husband would be as important as it was in canon. While I don't think Viserys would want her married to Daemon, and he might still want to marry her to Laenor, she would definitely not have married him in that scenario at least in my opinion
Friendly reminder that every source available plus agrees that Rhaenyra only agreed to marrying Laenor UNDER THREAT OF DISINHERITANCE!!!!! Louder for the people who confuse their AUs with canon: Rhaenyra only agreed to marry Laenor because Viserys threatened to disinherit her!!!!!!
Since in this AU of her not being heir she didn't have an Iron Throne that Viserys could take away I see nothing stopping her from telling her father to go and f_ himself and just running away and marrying whomever she wanted. In this AU, she would very likely just refuse and either elope with Daemon or someone else she wanted and wanted her (maybe Harwin).
As for a Dance taking place I seriously doubt it, at least while Viserys’s sons lived. By pushing for Rhaenyra, Daemon would actually be saying that a being the eldest and not being the eldest male was the rule for inheritance. In that case then, his cousin Rhaenys should be the one ruling.
I just don’t believe that the lords would fight for her if she was not the designated heir. She was not the eldest male child of the king, she had three brothers, and the king had not designated her as his heir. Even if let’s say they really hated Aegon II and Aemond and didn’t want them, they still had Daeron who we are told was quite popular amongst nobles and smallfolk.
I also have some doubts that Daemon would arrange the murders of three or five people (if we add in Aegon’s sons Jaehaerys and Maelor) like that. Now, if by any chances let’s say Aegon, Aemond, and Daeron all died and only Aegon’s children were left... now then he might see an opportunity there to maybe take over and get rid of his great-nephews (a bit à la Richard III and the Princes in the Tower), maybe... but more than that I doubt it.
Sorry again for this huge delay and I hope you have a great end to the year and Happy Hollidays 🥰

“how would it work if Cybertronians had disabilities” “What if there were disabled Cybertronians”
THERE ARE
THERE ARE
loosing my mind at how some things that are So good can be So niche why can’t we just be a hivemind
Just one example, my favorite example, is:
Shattered Glass Soundwave!!!
He’s gone through Multiple reformats varying between with his consent and,,, not. The latest of which took place when they didn’t have many materials
So they used half earth metals half Cybertronian ones
As it turns out? Those two things don’t mix very well. His joints are Horrible. They lock up randomly, the worst of which being the door to his tape deck.
He physically isn’t able to dock his cassettes reliably because they might get stuck in there.
What does he do to fix this? So glad you asked!! He has his own assistive aids, in this case: a portable external carrying case
It was made and personalized to work specifically for him and his situation
I love him

Out of every single relationship in the Whoniverse, whatever the Doctor and the Master have going on just hits different. Like a rock. I’m sure everyone feels this way about their fave Doctor ship, but my experience is that once you go Thoschei, you cannot go back. Given the narrative symmetry, character foiling, interwoven parallels, tragically dramatic irony, frustratingly unspeakable ambiguous romance that defies traditional ship canonization in the true chaotic spirit of Doctor Who, and a unique backstory setup that allows the characters to have history that other individuals cannot match, while fate (and the format of the show) pushes them together over and over again indefinitely, without hope of lasting reconnection lest the setup break, the Doctor and Master’s codependent anti-soulmate life or death partnership arguably (narratively) cheapens every other pairing beyond comparison. Their tragedy never leaves you. (And keeps you up at night)
