Girl no. Get this out of Arianne's tag.
this really is the embodiment of "i'm not falling for that hot take. that's clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at. i refuse to participate in that kind of perversion."
i'm not going to say that there aren't any parallels between dany and nymeria, but to say arianne thinks that she's a representation of nymeria?😭 please.
i think the star quote might have gotten people confused, but i've always interpreted it as a young woman seeking solace/strength in her ancestors; much like dany does with "I am the blood of the dragon, she told herself. I am Daenerys Stormborn, Princess of Dragonstone, of the blood and seed of Aegon the Conqueror.".
this reminds me of the people that say that dorne will end up completely destroyed, and it's so absurd i don't have it in me to take it seriously. the last line pissed me off so much, wtf was that ??
if they loove parallels so much, maybe they should think about what happened when a targaryen tried to conquer dorne by force 🤷‍♀️; and you can't even fit the nymeria parallel here, there's no space for a wedding. so.... bye rhaegal, i guess (wouldn't that be symbolic?)
on a side note: what's the difficulty of using the anti tag?!

@jedimaesteryoda​ replied to your post “Hi! Working off the assumption that Aegon VI/Young...”
The Tattered Prince being Pentoshi may be for a reason. He could potentially know some information about Illyrio that allows Tyrion to finally piece together who Aegon is as well as the plot.
I doubt it? Sure, the Tattered Prince is Pentoshi, but he also left Pentos in 262 AC and never returned. If he knows anything about Pentos or its denizens today, it would only be secondhand, as much as anyone else could theoretically know. I really doubt Illyrio’s connection to our Aegon is widely known: not only was Illyrio socially ostracized in Pentos following what aristocratic Pentoshi society considered his scandalous marriage to the former sex worker Serra, but but if Illyrio’s plan from Aegon’s early years was to present him as the future king of Westeros, it wouldn’t do to have a lot of people know (and thus be able to point out) that Aegon was in fact his son.
No, I think Tyrion has enough evidence on his own to (correctly) guess Aegon’s identity through direct interaction with Illyrio. When Tyrion asked “why should a magister of Pentos give three figs who wears the crown in Westeros?”, Illyrio presented his motivation as “wish[ing] to do some good before [his] days are done” and “help[ing] a sweet young girl regain her birthright” - an explanation Tyrion rightly found ludicrous. Tyrion also realized that “[t]here is something in this venture worth more to you [i.e. Illyrio] than coin or castles”. Likewise, Tyrion saw the emotional connection between Illyrio and our Aegon - how Illyrio “sounded oddly sad” when mentioning the candy he had packed for the boy, how he swore “by my sweet Serra’s hands” to join them in Westeros (and how sorry he was to miss Aegon’s (planned) wedding), how “slumped” and “almost small” he looked as he watched Tyrion go off toward Aegon. Tyrion also finds it odd that the Golden Company, founded as a specifically Blackfyre army with the express goal of setting the Blackfyres on the Iron Throne, would now be supporting a Targaryen restoration (and he may have even noticed Illyrio’s sly reference to “the end of the male line of House Blackfyre”, accompanied by a smile - a subtle nod to our Aegon’s likely descent from the female line of the Blackfyres).
