“why would elaena marry a dornishman when they’re nasty evil people who murdered her poor innocent brother daeron”

maybe because once elaena grew up she realized that there were better ways of bringing dorne into the realm than violent conquest, and that daeron got the death he deserved from not just a nobility that is valid for fearing subjugation from valyria but also a smallfolk sick and tired of these people showing up every few decades to set their principality on fire, and put aside any anti dornish sentiments she may or may not have harbored as a child to see the way her family had directly attributed to their suffering, eventually even falling in love with and marrying a dornish man??

also, considering daeron ii attempts a type of proto-reparations act in bringing dorne into the kingdom, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that someone as intelligent as elaena would recognize the inherent racism in the targaryen conquest of dorne and especially considering the very loud anti-dornish, deeply anti intellectual faction in the blackfyre rebellions, realized they wouldn’t be kind or understanding of an intelligent woman like herself and had no interest in herself or her daughters (of which she had four!!) getting shoved back into the maidenvault again?

like, daeron i is on some andrew jackson manifest destiny shit, and if it makes me an asshole for thinking “god i wish someone had merked jackson before he genocided & displaced my ancestors, good on the dornish for realizing you can’t negotiate with imperialists” than i am perfectly comfortable being considered an asshole right next to my girl elaena.

#everyone discoursing about the young dragon. listen. they should have tortured him before they killed him too.#anti daeron i targaryen #valyrianscrolls #anti house targaryen #idk just in case. clearly i’m not anti everyone i’m complimenting elaena & daeron ii #elaena targaryen #daeron the good #daeron ii targaryen #getting on my soap box #dorne #also when i say ‘my ancestors’ i mean that jackson passed the indian removal act specifically to remove my tribe (and several others) bc #white people in the midwest didn’t like that we wouldn’t leave.#my tribe managed to work somethjng out and only had to move a couple miles away from our homelands. others in our area were forcibly mkced #*moved. look up the potawatomi trail of death. they marched them thru illinois’ capital. dozens including children died.#also read about the fort dearborn massacre. and rising up from indian country which makes the argument that it wasn’t a massacre #but a battle bc white americans had been raiding potawatomi villages for weeks. so the potawatomi struck back and people to this day insist #it was a massacre just bc the potawatomi were better at fighting than the americans. nah.#u don’t get to wage a war of conquest on an innocent and indigenous population just to turn around and say they were mean for fighting back.#i’m sorry i woke up today and decided to choose violence. i’m in an awful mood aksjdjd

I love the Targaryens, more the women than the men. The women are cool and brave and kind, and then there are the men. Almost every single problem that arose in their house can be traced back to the men fucking up. Maegor, Aegon the Usurper, Aegon the Unworthy.

Maegor became King because Aenys was too indecisive and wanted to please everyone, but Maegor was a cruel and unpredictable king. Aegon the Usurper caused the dance of the dragons that led to the extinction of dragons, and we all know what Aegon the Unworthy did.

Some men are truly great, like Lord Bloodraven, Aegon the Unlikely, Daeron the Good and Aegon the Conqueror, but most are just middling. Someone’s gonna mention the Conciliator, but fuck Jaehaerys and Aemond the Kinslayer too.

Jaehaerys is a misogynist and his actions led to the death or dispossession of every single one of his daughters, except for Daenerys I, who died of the shivers. His actions or inaction led to Viserys becoming king over Rhaenys, further cementing the male line taking precedence over the female.

Aemond isn't even the most iconic one-eyed man in his house, and that's saying something. He rode the largest dragon in the world and had a sapphire eye, and he couldn't manage to be interesting. He was a coward who fled from battles between equals and was killed by a 50-year-old man and his much smaller dragon.

You know one of the things that saddens me the most about the dance (other than the deaths of my faves and it's general outcome) Is the extinction of dragons.

There were such majestic creatures and it really hurts to see them die out like that. But I then I start thinking about how the future would have turned out with dragons still alive and...

Aerys II with a dragon?

The battle of the Trident but Rhaegar has a dragon? (Actually, since he descends from a Targaryen princess, Bobby B could also have a dragon if he managed to claim one and that's equally terrifying.)

Actually, with dragons on their side the Mad King would have won the war 100% and basically all of our faves would have died or never been born.

The blackfyre rebellions but both sides have dragons? Shit, that'd be a second dance.

Aegon IV with a dragon? ( No wait nevermind , he'd be too fat to get on it anyway)

Suddenly I'm so glad these Targs never had the chance to get their nasty hands on them.

Sorry Morning, but I'm kind of glad you were the last one.

In my personal headcanon Daeron and Myriah adopted Shiera after her mother died, so Maekar’s hatred of Bloodraven includes “oh this is the bitch my sister’s dating”

#asoiaf #Daeron the good #myriah Martell #maekar targaryen #shiera seastar #bloodraven #there’s probably negative evidence for this headcanon but like who looked after Shiera?#her mother died in childbirth #her dad sucks #Naerys might’ve been dead #my posts #Maekar is the youngest of the boys so Shiera is his only little sibling #on an unrelated note I’m a believer in the crack theory that Shiera isn’t actually Aegon The Worst’s daughter #but this doesn’t effect my headcanon of Maekar being a grumpy older brother bc it doesn’t matter that she isn’t biologically his half aunt #because she was raised as his sister

King Daeron II Targaryen

“[his] reign quickly stabilized the realm, and he soon came to be called Daeron the Good by the smallfolk and noble lords alike.

HOUSE MARTELL

Nymeria, the warrior queen of the Rhoyne, brought her ten thousand ships to land in Dorne, the southernmost of the Seven Kingdoms, and took Lord Mors Martell to husband. With her help, he vanquished his rivals to rule all Dorne.

The Rhoynar influence remains strong. Thus Dornish rulers style themselves “Prince” rather than “King.” Under Dornish law, lands and titles pass to the eldest child, not the eldest male.

Dorne, alone of the Seven Kingdoms, was never conquered by Aegon the Dragon. It was not permanently joined to the realm until two hundred years later, and then by marriage and treaty, not the sword.

Peaceable King Daeron II succeeded where the warriors had failed by wedding the Dornish princess Myriah and giving his own sister in marriage to the reigning Prince of Dorne.

The Martell banner is a red sun pierced by a golden spear.

Their words are Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.

The principal houses sworn to Sunspear include Jordayne, Santagar, Allyrion, Toland, Yronwood, Wyl, Fowler, and Dayne.

One of my personal asoiaf headcanons is that Daeron and Myriah were the sweet kind of grandparents, the ones who would absolutely dote on their grandkids. Everytime they got to see their grandchildren, Daeron would say "You've gotten fatter/stronger/smarter/more handsome/beautiful" while pinching their cheek (and the fat part is meant positively, he would be happy they're healthy 🥺) while Myriah wouldn't hesitate to kiss their cheeks, even sometimes lifting them up in a hug (and make no mistake she didn't stop doing it even as she grew rather old).

#dexheadcanons #dexreadsbooks #dexreads asoiaf #asoiaf #daeron the good #daeron targaryen ii #myriah martell #asoiaf headcanon #I can also imagine daeron kinda had his grandson daeron as his favorite because of the name bias lol #and that myriah loved to tell stories about dorne #stories that maekar's kids (except for Aerion) always wanted more of because of their mama :#and I can also also imagine that they were disappointed in how aerion turned out/was raised #but couldn't find it in themselves to stop loving their grandson :((#I just feel that in general if they saw how some of their grandkids met tragic fates #they would be absolutely devastated

self indulgent info dump about the hedge knight

I did this in a couple of hours and used the Hedge Knight as my only source for everything. If you see any mistakes please kindly correct me! This is mainly for me because I can't stop thinking about the Hedge Knight and want to do a project related to it, so here's everything I think I would need for it.

(contents: a [long] summary of the hedge knight, every named character, all of the tourney matches, the trial by 7 teams and deaths)

SUMMARY:

Ser Arlan of Pennytree, a hedge knight (or wandering knight), dies of a chill. His squire, Dunk is the only one who can bury him, and Dunk buries him facing the sunset, as he reflects on Ser Arlan's life. Dunk mourns the old man, yet continues taking their horses Thunder, Chestnut, and Sweetfoot, as well as Ser Arlan's sword and remaining money. He stops by an inn where he is near attacked by a drunk man, and where a bald boy called Egg demands to be his squire, but Dunk refuses because he did not want to ruin the boy's life. Dunk goes to the grand tourney at Ashford, hoping to earn some money, and Egg follows him. Dunk takes Egg as his squire, because of Egg's willpower.

At Ashford Dunk sells his horse, Sweetfoot, so that he can afford armor. He meets the cousins Ser Steffon Fossoway and his squire, Raymun Fossoway. However, he is not able to enter the lists for the tourney since no one can prove his knighthood; that is until the Hand of the King and heir to the throne Baelor Breakspear, vouches for him, after recalling how Ser Arlan broke 4 lances against him. However Prince Baelor's brother, Prince Maekar is dismissive of Dunk and is worried for his two missing sons, Prince Daeron and Prince Aegon. Dunk enters but only for the 3rd day, so he will have a better chance at winning.

On the 1st day, many jousts happen. The final joust is when Prince Aerion "Brightflame" Targaryen, grandson of King Daeron, nephew of Prince Baelor, and son of Prince Maekar uses his lance to kill Ser Humfrey Hardyng's horse. It's dishonorable and Humfrey breaks his leg in the fall. Ser Humfrey is declared the champion. That night, Prince Aerion attacks the puppeteer (Tanselle "Too-Tall) that Dunk has a crush on, because her show involved a dragon (the crest of House Targaryen) getting killed. Egg calls Dunk, and Dunk beats up Prince Aerion. When Dunk gets seized by the guards, Egg reveals himself to be Prince Aerion's younger brother, Prince Aegon Targaryen.

Aerion wants to behead Dunk, and Maekar finds his son, Prince Daeron who was supposed to accompany Egg, and Prince Daeron says that a robber knight took him so his father would not be disappointed in him. Daeron withdraws his accusation and tells Dunk that he dreamed of Dunk with a dead dragon, and that Daeron's dreams come true. Dunk demands a trail by combat and Aerion demands a trail by seven. (Teams listed on the bottom of this post.)

Baelor Breakspear fought against the Kingsguard, since the Kingsguard are bound by their vows to never harm a member of the Royal Family. Aerion fought against Dunk, since Aerion was Dunk's main accuser. Daeron was unhorsed by Ser Robyn. Prince Baelor drove down one of the Kingsguard, and it is implied he also did so to another Kingsguard and his brother, Prince Maekar. Aerion unhorsed Dunk, however Dunk was able to beat Aerion using tactics he learned from Flea Bottom. Aerion withdrew his accusation.

Afterwards, Dunk is heavily injured and the two Humfreys are dead. After Prince Baelor's helmet was removed, his brains fell out and he died. When Dunk is healed he attends the funeral, and the new heir to the throne, Prince Valarr, Baelor's eldest son asks Dunk why his father died for a hedge knight. Prince Maekar revealed to Dunk he accidentally killed his brother, even though he loved his brother and expressed his sadness and regret. Maekar told Dunk he sent Aerion to Lys, and he offered Dunk a position in his household, but Dunk declined. Instead, Dunk asks to take Prince Aegon as his squire, and continue to live as a poor hedge knight, as long as he continued to use the nickname "Egg."

me in real life: what is the use of a father? functionally worthless tbh

me reading asoiaf and seeing a mediocre to actively abusive father falling to generational curses and destroying his own children’s lives:

#valyrianscrolls #robert baratheon #viserys i targaryen #maekar targaryen #daeron ii targaryen #oberyn martell #stannis baratheon #daemon targaryen #ned stark #but too lazy and too stuck in his ways to ever change. that’s my shit.#getting on my soap box #viserys the peaceful #daeron the good #aegon the unlikely #aegon the usurper #doran nymeros martell #oberyn nymeros martell #this is why roose and tywin don’t appeal to me they aren’t caught by generational curses they invented their own aksjsjs
