Remember when that Blackwood boy murdered Jerrel Bracken in front of the princess, the lord of storms end, and Jerrel’s father? Remembered how he died in his fathers arms because that little boy couldn’t take a light roasting? Will we get justice for Jerrel Bracken or will it be swept under the rug in favor of glorifying Samwell “burn your crops and sack small folk’s villages” blackwoood, Alysanne “burning septs and forcing widows to convert” Blackwood, and Benjicot “slaughter the enemy but cry about it later” Blackwood?
Coming out as a Bracken defender cause the story hates on this family too much for what little they did.

Otto: Oh, btw, my big bro has sent me tea from Oldtown saying the Sea Snake is planning to marry his baby girl to the Sealord of Braavos’ son.

Alicent: You Targs have weird-ass kinks. And knowing Daemon, yeah, that’s not suspicious at all.
Rhaenyra: Ali, bestie, you’d really believe a lie over me? Where did your dad even hear this?
Alicent: Idk, honestly. He told your dad about it and I just overheard.
Rhaenyra: Omfg you’re accusing me of this because you were nosy? Wtf Ali!
Alicent: I just wanted to help you, Rhae-Rhae. So you did not…?
Rhaenyra: Daemon never touched me.
Alicent: …
Rhaenyra: I’m your bestie. I’d never lie to you.
Alicent: …
Rhaenyra: I swear to you on my dead mom’s grave.
Alicent: …ok, I believe you.
Queen Aemma: *spills her tea in heaven* WTF RHAENYRA! I DIDN’T DIE AT CHILDBIRTH FOR YOU TO LIE TO YOUR STEPMOM!
. . . . .
Daemon: *comes back to the Red Keep hungover*
Kingsguard: The King wants to see you.
Daemon: Get off of me!
Daemon: Wait, no, don’t do that. I need you to help me walk.
Kingsguards: *drags Daemon to the throne room*
Daemon: *rolls on the ground*
Viserys: Wtf did you do to Rhae-Rhae?
Daemon: Good morning to you too.
Viserys: Aren’t you even gonna deny it?
Daemon: I’m sorry, what exactly did I do?
Viserys: You defiled her! *kicks him*
Daemon: Why tf does it matter? We used to fuck bitches when we were her age.
Viserys: Rhae-Rhae is my baby girl. And your niece!
Daemon: Rhae-Rhae is a woman. She can sleep with whoever she wants.
Viserys: *grabs Daemon’s collar* You son of a bitch! You took her v-card. Who will want to marry her now?
Daemon: I’ll do it.
Viserys: Are you fucking crazy?
Daemon: No, I’m serious. I’ll marry her.

. . . . .
Alicent: Have you spoken to Rhae-Rhae?
Viserys: Nah
Alicent: Look, I know Rhae-Rhae, ok? She’s not a liar. But I’m not sure about Daemon though.
Viserys: So why would he lie then?
Alicent: Idk. To spite you? Because let’s be honest, you’ve exiled him way too much.
Viserys: …
Alicent: Rhae-Rhae would never lie to me. And I know it.
. . . . .
Rhaenyra: *walking towards her father’s chambers*
Rhaenyra: *thoughts* Omfg I’m in so much trouble.
Rhaenyra: *tries to take the dagger*
Viserys: That’s Aegon’s dagger.
Rhaenyra: *jumps* Wtf dad you scared me.
Rhaenyra: *reads inscription in the dagger*
Viserys: It’s larger than everything, even your…desires.
Rhaenyra: …
Viserys: I could write you off my last will for what you did, Rhae-Rhae.
Rhaenyra: But that shit isn’t even true. You aren’t even gonna ask me what really happened?
Viserys: It doesn’t fucking matter! People have seen you, Rhae-Rhae. Now our reputation is destroyed, thanks to you.
Rhaenyra: *sighs* If I was a boy, I doubt you’d even care about it.
Viserys: But you’re not, so stfu!
Rhaenyra: …
Viserys: Btw, I decided to marry you to Laenor Velaryon. And I don’t want to hear to complaining about it. And besides, we need the Sea Snake back. They have the best ships and they also have dragons, so it’s a win-win for us.
Rhaenyra: Fine, but you need to fire your Hand.
Viserys: What? He’s a good man.
Rhaenyra: You know he wants baby Aegon to be heir. That’s why he had me spied, right? So he could report it to you if I did anything stupid.
Viserys: … *doesn’t deny it because she has a point*
. . . .
Viserys: 5 days.
Otto: What?
Viserys: 5 days after my dad died, you replaced him. And now with me as king, you’re still the hand. But I wonder…
Otto: …
Viserys: Aemma’s death still hurts, and so you planted your own daughter as a distraction. I married her and she gave me a son. Now, you then had Rhae-Rhae spied, make sure she does something stupid so I would disinherit her and name baby Aegon the heir.
Otto: Well, sometimes you need to hear the truth. I mean-
Viserys: Bitch, please. I already figured out your plan, Otto.
Otto: But-
Viserys: You’re fired. We thank you for your services. Now, please if you can show yourself out, that’d be great.
Otto: …
Otto: Wtf just happened.
. . . . .
Mellos: *carrying a Plan B tea* Sorry to disturb you this late, princess.
Rhaenyra: No, it’s fine.
Mellos: I prepped this carefully so you should be fine.
Rhaenyra: I’m sorry wtf is this?
Mellos: It’s a tea, princess Rhae-Rhae. Your dad insisted I make you some. Because let’s be honest, nobody likes accidents *wink-wink* K bye.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Here's Ep. 4. Enjoy! 🤣

Who Do You Prefer as Rhaenyra's Prince Consort? (Or who's the most useful?)
When you're chosen as heir to the throne over your half-siblings, you need allies to help you with your claim and be smart.
One of the things you need to be smart about is the choice of consort. The things you need for a useful spouse is…
1.) From a significant house
2.) Has a good Reputation
3.) Tolerable (like doesn't mind Rhaenyra being the heir. For a marriage to work you need a good-working relationship)
4.) Competent
5.) The ability to give Trueborn heirs *in Laenor's case they both can try, but if unsuccessful Rhaenyra needs to find someone that looks similar to Laenor to give her kids so she can pass them off as Laenors
Who Do You Prefer As Rhaenyra's Prince Consort and for what reason?
Laenor Velaryon
Daemon Targaryen
Qoren Martell
Jason Lannister
Tyland Lannister

This is a fascinating vid about all the implications of the scene at Storm’s End where Willem Blackwood kills Jerrel Bracken in S01E04.
There’s a lot going on in that scene which I didn’t notice the first time I saw it.
The narrator of this vid goes deep into the implications of Rhaenyra’s actions and attitude during this visit to Storm’s End. In a way, she’s the main focus.
When I noticed that this was 27 minutes long, I thought: I’ll just watch the first few minutes to get the gist. However it was informative and very well done and I watched it all.
Too many fan vids are done by blowhards in love with the sound of their voices; they drone on about stuff they don’t really know much about. But this one was well written and well narrated and involves NO SPOILERS.
The “tragedy” in the title refers to Willem’s youth being wrecked by expectations made of him in that society and era — not about anything that physically happens to him.

You are not her! Part 4
Word count:1877
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
(Y/N) flew over many buildings before landing in a forest with cannibal she made a little clearing and started to build a little house as cannibal kept watch after all Bravos was dangerous.
The maester looked at (Y/N) told her she was with child (Y/N) let out a small cry she always wanted to be a mother and now she’ll be one after seeing Rhaenyra have two beautiful boys (Y/N) knew this was her one time to be happy that Daemon didn’t give her moon tea.
Going home
A loud roar can be heard as (Y/N) flew over Kings Landing she was let in and made her way to the Throne Room but not alone her son and daughter are right beside their mother as they finally meet their King and Queen and uncles and aunt and cousins.
Rhaenyra looks over at the one person who would never leave her side as she looks on and she doesn’t recognize the person in front of her.
Daemon sees her (Y/N) has grown very beautifully and Daemon can’t stop staring at her.
“Father these are my children Aragon my son and Aemma my daughter” (Y/N) says looking at her father and seeing him smile as he slowly stood up and hobbled down the steps and hugs (Y/N) tight, afraid to let her go fearing she may leave again.
“I’ve missed you, my little dragon. I'm glad you are home again with children of your own, I’ve missed you (Y/N)” Viserys says with tears falling down his face as he hugs you once more.
Finding a match.
Rhaenyra sits down and listens to men and boys fight for her hand as (Y/N) and Ser Cole stand by her side.
“…. The wall Blackhaven are unscalable vassal stones and the castle is surrounded by a deep dry moat it is well fortified against any Dornish incursions and through my seat maybe lesser in size it is situated most pleasingly…. The view across the Marches is inspiring so said Queen Alysanne herself when she honored my father and I…” Lord Dondarrion was saying.
“Tell me Lord Dondarrion, did you think my great grandmother was as beautiful as they say?” Rhaenyra asks him.
“That was half a century ago Princess” He answered back looking confused at her question.
“Yes it was” Rhaenyra says and (Y/N) lets a little laugh come out and covers her mouth soon after and everyone in court starts to laugh.
“That was unseemly Princess” Lord Boremund tells her.
“The man is older than my father it’s unseemly for him to put himself forward as a contender for my hand” Rhaenyra tells Lord Boremund.
“Next” Lord Boremund yells out.
A young Lord walks up and Rhaenyra looks around shocked.
“And now a child,” Rhaenyra says.
“The Blackwoods are an ancient house with a formidable army in the River lands they once ruled as Kings. The blood of the first men still flows in their veins…. Go on” Lord Boremund tells Rhaenyra then looks at the young lord and nods to him to continue.
“My Princess ours is a bond that has long endured since Lucas Blackwood the grand sire of my grand sire aided the Dragon in his war of conquest” Lord Willem Blackwood starts to say.
“Aye the Blackwoods truly turned the tide on that one” Lord Jerrel Bracken says while everyone chuckles.
“Coursed with the blood of the first men our history is deeply rooted in this land which your house has made its home if chosen as your match Princess your days shall be easy and nights safe under my protection” Willem Blackwood finishes saying.
“Protection? The Princess has a dragon you dumb cunt” Jerrel Bracken says making everyone laugh at the Lord.
“Bracken” a voice calls out for him.
“I could learn to like that one, let us have the next” Rhaenyra says sighing while Willem stomps off.
“Craven” Jerrel calls out to him.
Willem Blackwood stops and pulls out his sword and so does Jerrel.
Rhaenyra looks at you and Ser Cole then at Lord Boremund “we’re leaving” Rhaenyra says while getting up and pulling you with her.
“Sheathe that steel you twats” Lord Boremund says.
“Send word to the harbor and have Captain Oswin ready the ship” Rhaenyra tells Ser Cole.
“Princess we are due in Bitterbridge in three days' time” Ser Cole says to Rhaenyra.
“I would happily row myself and (Y/N) back to King's Landing if it brought an end to this ridiculous pageant”Rhaenyra says as gasps and cries are heard behind her she and (Y/N) turn around and see the duel has come to an end Willem Blackwood stabs Jerrel Bracken and he falls to the floor and dies.
“Don’t look Princesses” Ser Cole says trying to push you both away from the scene.
The ship ride home was relaxing and smooth for (Y/N) she stayed in her cabin as Rhaenyra walked around the ship, the smooth sailing didn’t last long when the ship swayed violently.
(Y/N) and Rhaenyra race up from the harbor to the carriage as they make their way to the Red Keep.
“Uncle Daemon is back” Rhaenyra tells (Y/N).
“I wonder what father will say to him?” (Y/N) asks Rhaenyra.
The Red Keep
Daemon walks in and everyone is silent as Daemon walks up and is stopped by the KingsGuard.
“Add it to the chair,” Daemon says, throwing a weapon on the floor.
“You wear a crown. Do you also call yourself King?” Viserys asks Daemon.
“Once we smashed the triarchy they named me “King of the Narrow Sea” but I know that there is only one true King You Grace” Daemon says to Viserys and kneels before him.
“My crown and the Stepstones….are yours”Daemon says, taking off his crown and holding out his crown to Viserys.
“Where is Lord Corlys?” Viserys asks Daemon.
“He sailed home to Driftmark” Daemon tells Viserys.
“Who holds the Stepstones?” Viserys asks.
“The tides the crabs and 2,000 dead triarchy corsairs staked to the sand to warn those who might follow” Daemon says to Viserys.
Viserys walks down and takes Daemon's crown and gives it to a guard and looks back at Daemon “Rise” and Viserys gives Daemon a little hug.
“The realm owes you a great debt brother, come” Viserys says, giving Daemon a hug and leading him outside.
Viserys stands by Daemon and Alicent as he tells her stories of their childhood (Y/N) and Rhaenyra walked over to them and smiles at everyone.
“Congratulations on your victory uncle” (Y/N) and Rhaenyra says at the same time to Daemon.
“Thank you Princess’s ” Daemon says looking at you both.
“Perhaps Prince Daemon would care for a tour of the gallery? He hasn’t seen the new tapestries gifted to you by Noruos and Qohor” Alicent says, smiling at Daemon and Viserys.
“Would you like to see the tapestries?” Viserys asks Daemon, laughing.
“He has no interest in such things” Viserys says laughing at Alicent.
“I would like to see them” (Y/N) says looking at Alicent.
“Then you should not deprive yourself” Viserys tells (Y/N).
“Then I shall enjoy them alone” (Y/N) says leaving as Rhaenyra follows her and sits down on a bench as (Y/N) walks into the castle alone like always.
Later that night
(Y/N) walks to her room but hears little Helaena cry’s and (Y/N) walks into the room and sees Alicent holds her and she looks sad and angry and hurt that she can’t get her to stop crying.
“Can I hold her?” (Y/N) asks Alicent.
Alicent gives (Y/N) Helaena and she stops crying as (Y/N) rocks her.
“How did you get her to stop crying?” Alicent asks giving (Y/N) a hug.
“I don’t know I just felt like she needed me so I came and now she’s asleep” (Y/N) says smiling down at Helaena and putting her in her bed and leaving Alicent as she whispers a thank you to (Y/N).
(Y/N) goes to her room and dreams of happy memories not knowing trouble was coming in the morning.
The morning everything changed
Rhaenyra pulls you into her room as you walk out of your and begins to tell you about her night with Ser Cole and how she’s no longer a maiden. As (Y/N) left Rhaenyra’s room (Y/N) could hear Viserys yelling for Daemon so (Y/N) snuck in the hidden passageway and listened to Viserys and Daemon.
“My daughter won’t you even deny it?” Viserys asks Daemon walking around his body as he lay on the floor.
“I need to understand the charge before I can attempt to discredit it” Daemon says looking up at Viserys.
“You defiled her!” Viserys yells out kicking Daemon.
“You still say nothing,” Viserys says, looking down at him.
“What does it matter brother? When we were Rhaenyra’s age we fucked our way through most of the brothels on the street of silk” Daemon tells Viserys.
“We were young men, she is just a girl, your niece,” Viserys says.
“Rhaenyra is a woman grown as is (Y/N). Better her first experience be with me than some whore” Daemon says looking up at Viserys.
“You fucking— you ruined her! What lord will wed her now? In this condition?” Viserys asks while choking Daemon.
“Who gives a fuck what some lord thinks? You are the dragon, your word is truth and law” Daemon says.
“I have spent a lifetime defending you but your heart is even blacker than I thought I should have disinherited her as I already did you and be done with it” Viserys says looking down at Daemon.
“We’d her to me. When I have you my crown you said I could have anything I want Rhaenyra I’ll take her as she is and wed her in the traditions of our house” Daemon says panting.
“You are already wed” Viserys says looking at him.
“That didn’t stop Aegon the conqueror from taking a second wife” Daemon tells Viserys.
Viserys pulls his dagger out and holds it to Daemon's throat “You are no conqueror…… You are a plague…. Sent to destroy me” Viserys says, holding the dagger tighter.
“Give me Rhaenyra to take to wife and we will return the house of the dragon to its proper glory” Daemon tells Viserys.
“Of course it’s not my daughter you list form is it? It’s my throne. Go back to the Vale Daemon to your lawful wife, strive to restore whatever scrap of honor remains in you or don’t matters not to me as long as you are gone from my sight for good” Viserys says leaving Daemon on the floor as he makes his way out of the room.
“As you wish brother” Daemon says slowly getting up from the floor.
(Y/N) walks out and runs to her room and stays there till she hears Alicent call for her and ask her to help with the babies and (Y/N) goes to help and waits for Rhaenyra to come back and tell her what father told her in the meeting they had.
Wait for the sneak peek to part 5 it will get a little crazy I hope you all enjoy.

Remember in HOTD there was a scene where Willem Blackwood kills Jerrel Bracken? Well I imagined that Modern Reader would be there to prevent this from happening. So, imagine that Yandere platonic Otto Hightower told Modern Reader about the meeting of Blackwood and Bracken houses and he told her that she needs to be there with Rhaenyra. Well since Yandere Platonic Targaryens see and accepts Modern Reader as there own, not to mention that Modern Reader is older than Yandere platonic Rhaenyra (Reader could become a Queen).
So, Yandere platonic Rhaenyra is sitting on Iron Throne, Modern Reader stands right next to her and advisors as well. Yandere Rhaenyra is tired and want to go to have a supper (and because she wants to spend time with Modern Reader). Then there goes Willem Blackwood, while he gets closer advisor tells Rhaenyra and Reader about him and House Blackwood.
Willem Blackwood: My princess, arse as a bond has been long endured, since Lucas Blackwood the grandsight of my grandsire aided the dragon in his conquest.
Jerrel Bracken: Aey, the Blackwoods truly turned the tide on that one.
And everyone starts to laugh. Modern Reader didn’t like this attitude and mockery, but lets it slide, because Willem Blackwood hasn’t finished his speech. Then Willem Blackwood offered a betrothal to Rhaenyra, and Modern Reader noticed how Rhaenyra tried not to laugh. And so when Willem Blackwood finished the speech, Jerrel Bracken said “Protection? The princess has a dragon, you dumb cunt.” And everyone in the court started to laugh again.
Modern Reader is disappointed and disgusted with a disrespect in the court, yes Reader knows about the rivalry between Blackwoods and Brackens, but that doesn’t mean she would allow this mockery and disrespect. As she heard that Rhaenyra wants to end this faster and leave, Modern Reader starts to act.
Modern Reader: Lord Jerrel, did anyone asked your opinion?😡
Jerrel Bracken noticing an angry look on Modern Reader stops laughing and feels awkward: No princess.
Modern Reader: No? Then why were you interrupting Lord Willem of House Blackwood?
Everyone is silent.
Modern Reader: My goodness, I’m disappointed. I never thought that House Bracken would have so much disrespect and mockery when someone is speaking… What? No more laughter?!
Silence in the court and Jerrel Bracken looks on the floor ashamed.
Modern Reader: When I or my sister ask you to speak, you speak. But now, I want you to be quiet. I understand the rivalry between you two. But what I won’t allow is the disrespect, insults and mockery. And if you continue to do that, I’ll get you out of the court. Do you understand that?
Then Modern Reader turns her gaze on Willem Blackwood “Lord Willem Blackwood, thank you for the offer and I apologise for a disrespect and interruptions” she sends a disappointing look on Jerrel Bracken and those who laughed at Willem Blackwood. “As for a betrothal, we consider it and tell you our answer.”-she finished her speech. Willem Blackwood answers “Thank you, my princess.” Well, it could have end well, if Jerrel Bracken didn’t insult Willem Blackwood. The two of them pulled out the swords ⚔️ and Modern Reader had enough of it and storms right between them with sword in her hand with Kings Guards by her side. Then Modern Reader hit the sword out of Jerrel’s hands with her sword, the scar would be left on Bracken’s hand. “That would be a reminder, next time I’ll cut your hand if you continue, that means to everyone.”- Modern Reader replied. After this matter was settled she and Yandere Rhaenyra left for a supper.
While they are walking, Modern Reader tells Rhaenyra next “Rhaenyra, you can’t leave things like that. Especially allow this disrespect. You are a princess, future Queen, you need allies for your support. Which is something you need to understand.” Later, Modern Reader tells her day and that incident to Targaryens, Velaryons and Otto Hightower. Of course Rhaenyra wouldn’t want to marry and Viserys would decline a betrothal. But Modern Reader suggests that she could marry him.
Modern Reader: I think it’s not a bad idea. Lord Willem Blackwood is interesting, I even talked to him, he’s nice. Valyrian House Targaryen and Ancient House Blackwood with blood of First Men, it sounds good. Also we will have an ally with a proper army. I think it’s good.😊
Yandere platonic Rhaenyra: Y/N, he’s young, younger than you.
Modern Reader: Oh really? Our father married Alicent who is young to be his daughter, but he still married her. And Daemon will marry Laena, who’s also younger than him. So I can also marry someone who is younger than me. Because we have no problem with age gap, right?
Yandere platonic Daemon: But you’ll live in Riverlands.
Modern Reader: Oh, if that’s a problem, then I’ll tell you Riverlands remind me of the countryside when I was visiting my grandparents back in my world. I think I’ll be fine there, also I would send you letters and visit you from time to time or you can visit me anytime. So I don’t see problems.
Can you imagine shocking faces on Yandere Viserys, Daemon, Rhaenyra, Alicent, Corlys, Otto and Rhaenys Velaryon. Especially the incident between Blackwood and Bracken. I wonder what would they feel and react when Modern Reader suggested marriage between her and Willem Blackwood. Can you write it? Can you also describe what they feel and their reactions about incident. Of course I think they would be proud, but they were worried, but Daemon would smile when Modern Reader told them that she hit Jerrel’s hand with her sword leaving a scar for disrespect and disobedience.
Something tells me that Otto would think that Modern Reader is better than Rhaenyra, especially when folks and nobles respect her, even after the incident respect didn’t go anywhere, but there won’t be any insults and fights in the court, so it’s good.
Phew, that’s very long. I hope you enjoyed it. So what do you think? I’d like to hear it from you.
It's great. All of them will be very surprised at the reader's offer. Her comment about Viserys and Daemon will make everyone laugh. (It seems to me that Viserys would be taken for this comment.) I think no one wants the reader to leave. However, the reader's logical explanation is enough to silence them all. Moreover, the happiness of the reader comes first for them. Otto will now be more determined to have the reader become a Queen. I think if there was such a scene in the movie, we would have enjoyed watching it more.

House of the Dragon tag game!
This was created by the lovely @jotterjots 💜 Thank you for the tag!
Rules: Answer the following questions, then tag any and all people you think might enjoy participating. 
Tags: If you see this on your Tumblr dashboard, consider yourselves tagged. 
see original post here if you want to play :)
Who's your favorite character? What draws you to them?
My initial response is Aemond Targaryen (surprise, surprise). The book and show portrayal have some similarities, but I really loved how Leo Ashton and Ewan Mitchell’s characterization. There was something relating to how Leo carried himself, Aemond just weary but ready to defend Aegon, how he was ridiculed. You have this sense of relief when he finally claims Vhagar that you forget the implications until that group of cunt ass kids rallied against him. Then you see that want for revenge, how it shapes and molds him into this man that is just...
Tumblr media
Sigh. 💜
Anyway, after him it would Ser Criston Cole, as this man is so damn petty with his hatred it halted his aging and I’m here for it.  
What's your favorite episode of the season?
I loved the despair of episode 8, where we finally got to see the key players for what was to come. The build up, the tension that lead to this brief moment of serenity and then... the dinner scene, where it just went downhill so fucking fast. 
What is your favorite line from the season?
I have two. The first belongs to Daemon: “You cannot live your life in fear, or you will forsake the best parts of it.”
And second is to Jerrel Bracken, and it makes me giggle: “The princess has a dragon, you dumb cunt.” 
Which actor's portrayal is your favorite?
Of course the obvious answer is Ewan Mitchell. I binged everything he has been in and really enjoy that even though he had similar mannerisms used in each roll, he seems to adjust to fit whatever character he is playing and I think it’s fucking brilliant.
Matt Smith plays a cunt like no other. As much as Daemon makes my skin crawl, I do enjoy watching him. 
Olivia Cooke. 💜 Watching Alicent’s transition from the tepid daddy’s girl to girlboss was amazing. She believed in her convictions and squared off to Otto, to her husband, and we saw glimpses of how she played the Game of Thrones, and I really loved it. 
Which character would you most want to be stuck on a deserted island with?
I mean...
Tumblr media
But for real, probably Ser Criston as he seems low key a more practical option, as I could trust him to be able to scrounge for food, kill whatever wild hog might attack, things like that. 
Name a minor character you want to know more about!
I would love more insight on Arryk and Erryk OR, since they kept him alive, if Ser Harrold Westerling came back in a blaze of glory, that’d be nifty. 
Who's character arc are you most interested to see continued, for better or worse?
May the gods pity me, but Aemond. I am curious their interpretation of his story and am super excited to see it unfold. 
Who's your most anticipated new character of Season 2?
Cregan Stark, but this is mostly because of my Mushroom theory of him, but I already know HBO is a bunch of cowards and would never. And Nettles 💜 I really hope they show how she gets her dragon.
Which is your favorite dragons of the ones we saw?
Vhagar. 
Tumblr media
I hate that we missed out on some Fire & Blood bonding between Aemond and this she-dragon, but I really loved how they showed the sentient side when she was bonded to Laena. It was beautiful and heartbreaking 💜
What's your favorite relationship from this season? (romantic, platonic, antagonistic- whichever!)
I loved Rhaenyra and Harwin Strong. I really loved the snippets of him knitted throughout, his admiration for Rhaenyra just as she was. There was also so much in the scene after she gave birth, how he was quick to help in any he could, just to be able to touch her, to be there for her. And when he held Joffrey?
Tumblr media
Like, goddamn, I love this man so much 😭
Bonus- Fandom appreciation:
Link one or more of your favorite pieces of fanart! (Have you reblogged it already? Consider reblogging it again! Do NOT repost)
Please go and look/follow @lonnson @4yvle1 @azperja @cyeco13​ Just amazing, talented, wonderful pieces they have shared.💜
Link one or more of your favorite fics! (Same deal as above!)
I have a fic recs link on my blog.💜 I also have a series called Interview With a Writer where I get to talk to the talented brains that created some of the best pieces I have found (so far) on Tumblr. 
Link one or more of your favorite gifsets! (^^Same)
The talented Miranda (@aegonx​) who did this and this and this gifset that I love (just to name a few, but she is so creative and talented; her gifsets for this fandom are some of my favorites. She did a GoT request for Rhaegar and Lyanna, and I just love it so much!💜

What are your thoughts on that unlikable adult Bracken Bully getting gutted down by that brave Blackwood teenager in episode 4? Was there any similar sort of incident in Fire and Blood?
I answered this question shortly after the offending episode aired, and I was very annoyed and thought the change was ridiculous for the characters and lore. As I said before, there was a duel fought “for Rhaenyra’s hand” when she visited the Trident in 112 between a Samwell Blackwood and an Amos Bracken…but Amos actually won that duel and nobody was killed. Samwell was also wholly unsympathetic, being a war criminal who sent raiders out to “burn crops, drive off sheep and cattle, sack villages, and despoil every sept they came across” (F&B1) on Bracken lands, and Amos had to march out of Stone Hedge to stop him (which, because GRRM hates us, he didn’t succeed, though he did kill Samwell in honorable single combat during the Battle of Burning Mill). If the writers wanted to be accurate to Amos and Samwell’s book characterizations, then it should’ve been adult Samwell who did the heckling and challenged adult Amos to the duel (as Samwell provoked Amos into battle), and Amos wins, but spares his life because it’s not a duel to the death. Instead, the writers had two never before mentioned characters Jerrell Bracken and Willem Blackwood fight, and they’re basically the opposite characters from Amos and Samwell. It’s like they didn’t read Fire and Blood at all, and instead added a more deadly version of The Karate Kid to their allegedly gritty medieval fantasy series. It’s just another example of how HOTD is so focused on the Targs that every other character from the era is flattened into a 1D stereotype…which is impressive, as I’ve frequently complained about the thin characterization in Fire and Blood. But as someone who likes House Bracken and appreciates whatever small successes they get, this change was particularly annoying.

I mean, I've already decided that the Baratheon is gonna be the oldest of them and would be the youngest sister of Boremund Baratheon or his youngest and only daughter (I need to look at ages because I realised Boremund is older than Rhaenys even though he looks pretty young on the show so I think only daughter would be more fitting yeah)
Now anyways, this girl is gonna be a bunch of years older than Maeg - I'm thinking she'll be 20 when Rhaenyra's doing her tour
Oh fuck I just googled it and Rhaenyra's actually 19/20
So I need her to be a bit older than Rhaenyra so I think I'll make her either 21 or 23. Not 22 because I'm turning 22 and dreading it.
So this would make her... hmm, 3-5 years older than Maegelle? (Maeg's two years younger than Rhaenyra)
But anyways, this Lady Baratheon is unmarried and living at Storm's End with her father, because - she was married (when she was a bit younger), but then her husband died and he died without issue. So instead of his lands/titles going to Lady Baratheon, it went to his nephew. Now because I like drama, I'm gonna have her be married to Jerrel Bracken's Uncle - who died only a year or two back, and Lady Baratheon absolutely hates Jerrel because she knows he's to inherit whatever titles the Brackens held.
So you can imagine her face when the Blackwood and Bracken boys beat it out and the Bracken boy dies - she's just like "holy fuck did I just... curse him???" (It'd be a fun little thing if she could - curse people, but idk)
Now anyways, she's a cutie who told her father that she's already done her duty to her house married a man - and it is not her fault that he died without impregnating her. (Lady Baratheon hated her marriage and her husband - simply because he was boring and a bit boorish and very misogynistic, overlooking the fact that he married a Lady of Storm's End, whose fury he had a bad habit of tempting and whose wroth he overlooked. There's some rumours surrounding her, saying that she killed the Lord, which is why, instead of the Brackens still being somewhat allied with the Baratheons... they became a little... tense. Because I like the idea of Lady Baratheon saying/thinking crazy things and having them come true - so she must have said that he'd die without heirs since he spends more time in the training yards with his invisible enemies than he does doing his duty in the bedroom. He does spend time in the bedroom. Just... Lady Baratheon finds him to be a man incapable of pleasing his wife. So she decides to insult him for it.)
Anyways, Lady Baratheon found her husband boring and ugly and disgusting - she called him a shriveled old craven (even though he was not shriveled at all or old), because she just likes talking bad about the dead. He wasn't her person - he wasn't exciting or even romantic (as Lady Tyrell / Lannister would gush about the knights in their stories.)
I suppose Lady Baratheon and Maegelle would be the closest out of the quartet (I plan on having Lady Johanna Lannister - yes, Jason's wife - be a Lady in waiting for her, mainly because Maegelle finds herself bored, as of late, and likes the idea of having friends who she can trust and support... even though both she and Rhaenyra trusted Alicent and she betrayed them. But that's another discussion.)
Anyways, so Lady Baratheon's also the closest to Maegelle because she's the only one daring enough to go near a dragon. The other two wouldn't dare, attributing it to the lack of dragonblood they've in their veins, to which Lady Baratheon laments at her lack of a dragon, and Maegelle laughs, saying perhaps she'd get a dragon egg as a birthday gift. Of course, the other ladies think that to be cool, but Lady Baratheon only taunts, "Sorry, but only dragonriders have a right to dragon eggs," and sticks her tongue out at them like a child.
Now it is at I think Rhaenyra's Wedding that we have Daemon making a late entrance and he ends up dancing with Laena because he caught her eye but then he ends up switching with Lady Baratheon because the dance is where the partners switch or whatever. And Lady Baratheon is disappointed because she was having much fun stepping on the new heir of Lord Bracken's foot - she's - she's a menace
And now I'm crying because can yall imagine Lady B × Maeg × Aelor getting up to shit in the Dragon Pit's ?
IM DYING CAN YOU IMAGINE DAEMON ASKING HER "have you ridden a dragon before? / is this your first time dancing with a dragon?" And Lady B is just like "my first? No. My last with you? Most probably," because she's heard the rumours of how he killed his wife up in the Vale - and she's a bit hypocritical in the fact that she believes it automatically, while it enfuriates her that she is not believed when she says and swears that she didn't kill her husband. (Because honestly, if she wanted him dead then he would have died on their wedding night.)
Now Daemon isn't in love with her. Rather, he steals her as a form of rebellion (oop, no surprise there), when Viserys orders he remarries - and not a Velaryon, or someone of Targaryen blood who Daemon would find worthy... but a Hightower, so as to strengthen the bonds between Viserys and his wife - he hopes it'll appease Alicent a bit (idk man just go with it) and Rhaenyra's like "that sounds fucking stupid)
Not to mention, around this point is when Aelor gets exiled - so Daemon is pissed, Maeg is pissed, and Rhaenyra is pissed. The House of the Dragon is all pissed off at it's head - which is honestly what Otto probably wants.
So they discuss this, I think - maybe just Maeg and Daemon, because Rhaenyra's busy comforting Laenor who lost his love and also trying to come up with a plan to get Aelor back, and and and
Daemon says "there's only one thing we can do then. Rebel." And Maeg was like "??? Well we can't give Otto what he wants but we can't also rebel, that's treason!" But Daemon gives no fucks and only says "trust me, little niece," bit Maeg does not trust him, and instead steals away Lady Baratheon in the night, and he takes her to Dragonstone where... Aelor and Rhaenyra are fucking around. I'm dead I love the Targaryens they're so . Fucking . Chaotic .

Open to: M/F/NB
Plot: Is it strange Willem was one of Rhaenyra’s suitors now he’s married to Myella? Probably lol
Tumblr media
“Believe what you will. It was never my intention to marry for Targaryen blood. I was a naïve boy and thought if Jerrel Bracken could ride to Storm’s End and ask for the Princess’ hand, then so could I. But, I love Myella. I don’t care that she’s the daughter of the ‘Rogue Prince’ or foreigner. I only care her and who she is.”

The incident at Storm’s End involving Willem Blackwood and Jerrel Bracken is not as random as it may seem. The House Blackwood and House Bracken have been feuding longer than anybody can imagine. So Jerrel Bracken‘s taunting and Willem Blackwood‘s reaction should be viewed in that context.
House Bracken and House Blackwood are two ancient families from Westeros’s middle Riverlands region. And when we say ancient, we mean ancient. Similar to House Stark and many other noble families from The North (and some from the Riverlands and Vale), both House Bracken and House Blackwood were part of the First Men who arrived in Westeros countless centuries ago. Though an ethnicity known as the “Andals” now make up the vast majority of Westeros, the First Men and their traditions carry on in the form of weirwood trees and the “Old Gods.”
House Bracken hails from Stone Hedge, with much of their domain lying across the fertile lands of the Red Fork. House Blackwood is in Raventree Hall, located north of the Red Fork. As Lord Baratheon mentioned, both houses are quite powerful, In fact, both families can assemble larger armies than their regional wardens, House Tully. The Targaryens merely chose the Tullys to be wardens of the Riverlands since they had the good sense to bend the knee to Aegon the Conqueror first.
Though both House Bracken and House Blackwood are formidable enough on their own the best known thing about each of them is how much they absolutely loathe each other. Brackens and Blackwoods have been at one another’s throats for centuries if not millennia. Their hatred dates back to before the arrival of the Targaryens, before the arrival of the Andals, and perhaps back to the beginning of time itself.
The Blackwood/Bracken feud has some similarity to the Campbell/MacDonald feud in Scotland and perhaps even the Hatfields and McCoys in Appalachia in the US.
In short, the Blackwoods and Brackens can’t stand each other but don’t remember why.

Just when we think we know who will be portraying all the characters, another revelation floats to the surface.
Actor Tim Faraday has the part of Amos Bracken in HotD Season 2.
Amos Bracken is almost certainly related to Jerrel Bracken who was killed by Willem Blackwood at Storm's End in S01E04. But the nature of the relationship isn't clear. Neither Willem nor Jerrel are mentioned in Fire and Blood.
While some people cite Fire and Blood as canon, the book actually includes several perspectives from different observers. House of the Dragon may have a better claim to being canon for this part of Targaryen history.
One of the best things about House of the Dragon is that it gives some of the lesser-known characters their time to shine. For eg. Wil Johnson’s Vaemond Velaryon. Amos Bracken, one of the most beloved lords of House Bracken from Fire & Blood, will be making his appearance in Season 2. He will be played by actor Tim Faraday, who is represented by McLean Williams.
