As promised, the weekend I kicking off the ✨Build a Heretic✨ thing!

Yes, I do agree that selection is very anthropocentric and ignores the capabilities of our xenos friends in committing heresy, but unfortunately the Black Crusade rules seem to be focusing on these two options and so do I.

Reblogs are appreciated, adding propaganda for your choice in the tags/replies/etc is encouraged! Hopefully we will have fun!

So, @skyrim-forever and @akaviri-dovah \ @faiyamon have tagged me in a few things.

First of all in doing THIS PICREW, so here, have a girlie c:

And then i was also tagged in doing the Horror Trope Quiz for my OCs and I actually dropped screenshots of results for four of mine here, but then Tumblr borked and ruined everything, so I will just list what I got, I can't girlwork anymore.

Sanya from WH40k, my kindhearted ex-guardsmen with a warrant on his head by the Inquisition and, eventually, the weirdest wandering fleet at his command, he is the Sacrifice.

Oona the Eleventh, also from WH40k, got the Ghost. Which is pretty fitting for a tired, depressed and very much broken ghost of a destroyed world, eradicated Legion of whom no memory even remains.

Deer from ESO, my beloved dragon woman, she got to be both a Killer and a Lover based on me taking the quiz two times to account for some variation and some answer where two answers would fit. And like, we are talking about a killing machine, who is madly in love with a beautiful dream and a Particular Guy. So, yeah.

And Elanor from Skyrim, she is very on point was typed into a Monster and an Ancient Evil. Which is again, we are talking about a godling, would-be World-Eater and an overal rather unpleasant eldritch evil smushed into a mortal vessel.

One of the biggest HotD missed opportunities is not exploring the trauma that comes from having to marry your immediate family.

Not exploring how Targ women are raised to think of their brothers as their future husbands.

How damaging it is when the lines of what's familial and what's romantic blur.

Helaena grew up knowing she'll marry her older brother, never given an option to even think of finding love somewhere else.

Aegon not wanting to marry his sister but he is a Targaryen and as a Targaryen there isn't much of a choice in it anyway.

Aemond who says he will marry his sister because it would be his duty to do so. Who doesn't even understand how strange and wrong that is - the fact that he sees marrying his sister as just another duty to fulfill.

The fact that we don't see how Helaena (arguably the biggest victim in that situation) feels about it all is just criminal.

The fact that we were never showed Helaegon getting married is such a missed opportunity because it would give an audience a way to understand just how disturbing that Targaryen custom is.

Another missed opportunity is not seeing Helaena pregnant and/or giving birth.

But I especially, ESPECIALLY, hate the way the show implied that it was all Alicent's doing purely because it means that now that highly traumatic experience of not only children but also siblings getting married became an Alicent issue and not an issue of hundred years of one family's abusive blood supremacy tradition.

#house of the dragon #hotd #alicent hightower #aegon ii targaryen #helaena targaryen #aemond targaryen #team green #i hope it's something they can at least try to explore in s2 #i would love to talk about daemon x rhaenyra #but i won't #because i believe that in the show it was made clear that he groomed her #it's just that the audience likes to act dumb #and pretend that what they have is healthy #and true love or whatever other bs

Little Wolf - Daemon Targaryen

Words: 1,200 Summary: Daemon may have married to help ease the burden on his brother’s shoulders and he’d come to like his wife, the little wolf of the North. He hadn’t realized however how much she was suffering at court.

Note(s): I’ll be honest I was a little nervous accepting this request, but I’ve been reading a lot of GOT fics lately, and got the courage to write this. It might not be the best as I’m trying to get used to writing a more oldy kind of English, but I hope you enjoy it! (Also, yes, Daemon most definitely managed to get her that as a gift, no spoilers!)

She kept her shoulders low, smile small but not tight, feet solid on the ground, hands gently clasped in front of her. She would not give these southern ladies, if they could be really called that, her distaste or tears.

“You should really try one.” The Tyrell girl insists, pushing the plate that holds a tart closer. “I know such things aren’t available in the North.” She looks to the other woman at the table, thinking that she doesn’t see the giggle that she barely suppresses. “I’m sorry, my lady. Sweet things just aren’t for me. Must be my northern upbringing.” She smiles, forcing the words out. It wouldn't be good for her true words to come out. She wouldn’t not bring shame to her family, wolf or dragon. The girl sniffs, but doesn’t insist, instead turning her head to speak to the Hightower queen and she wanted to sigh at how poor of a match and queen she was.

She’d never say it out loud, but her good brother was not a smart ruler or man. It made her ache for her father, for her brother Cregan. For the family crypt that held her mother, that she could no longer go to for just the feeling of advice. Ache grew more and more as she was forced to be around southerners and their odd ideas and gods. She had scoffed when being told that she’d have to marry in front of the seven, in a sept.

Her only savior in this place, in king's landing, was her husband, though many would never think of him as such a thing. But Daemon Targaryen held the same views that the North did, that she did. He too scoffed at the seven, at the sept, and had agreed to her brother’s demands that they also be married in godswood, as tradition for Starks since long before.

She ached to be around the man that she could still be herself with and not this stiff thing she had to be around others. But, she knew she could not. They had never been close in the while they had been married, but for the past two moons, she had barely seen him, truly seen him. She may see him at dinners, but she had seen him maybe thrice in their shared chambers, only knew that he was sleeping due to the messed up furs on his side of the bed.

She nearly startles at the feeling of hands on her shoulders, but they were familiar even through the light fabric of her dress. “Wife, I’m afraid I have to steal you away.” She nods, giving a goodbye to the other ladies, who wrinkle their noses at her before she stands. Surprise nearly takes over features when her husband grabs her hand to place on his arm as he leads her away.

“You’re miserable.” He says as soon as they are out of sight and hearing and she stops walking. “Excuse me?” “I’ve been watching you, little wolf.” He moves to stand in front of her, eyes peering into hers and not for the first time she’s reminded that Daemon is a dangerous man, a man to be fearful of. “Been watching as you sit with the ladies of the court and listen to them talk, but never speak. Why is that little wolf?” He steps closer and her breath quickens. “You aren’t a shy thing, no one could ever think that of you. But you don’t speak. You smile, nod, and laugh.” She raises her head, ignoring the twitch in her jaw, aware that despite no one being around, they are still in public. “I’m afraid, Prince Daemon, I don’t know what you mean.” His eyes tighten as she uses his title. “I enjoy sitting with the ladies and talking. We just had the most interesting conversation about Casterly Rock and its new lady. She’s apparently having the roses ripped out and replaced. They don’t agree with her, you see.” “You don’t care about those cunts, any of them.” He begins to speak again, but she cuts him off, stepping closer and lifting her skirts just a bit as her voice comes out in a hiss. “I have a duty, Prince. One to my house and yours. I will not and can not forget myself. I don’t have the pleasure of forgetting such things.” She gives him a pointed look before turning on her heel.

“I’m feeling unwell, I think I’ll rest for a bit.” She tells him, before moving towards their chambers.

He watches after his wife, his little wolf, with a clenched jaw and fists, her words of duty reeking of cunttower. And then a feral smile forms on his lips, she was right in a way that she didn’t have the pleasure of forgetting that she had a duty, but she seemed to be forgetting that she was a Targaryen now, not a Stark, and that her duty was different then what it was previously. A smirk curls onto his lips, he’d just have to remind her of that.

—

He bides his time, spending another week watching as she puts on a facade at court, before he makes his first move.

He breaks fast with her and not just in their chambers. And then he begins his next step, he starts to walk with her, arm in arm. Not uncommon for a married pair, but uncommon for him. He never walked arm in arm with a lady unless you could count when his niece was younger and she would demand for him to carry her around. People take notice and whispers start but they’re easily curbed as a new bastard is born from the house of hightower. No one knows or can tell if it’s from the hand or his eldest son, but the people talk as the queen is near tears at the shame to her family when not praying in the sept.

And as he increases his affections for his wife in the court's eye, as well as in private, he waits. He waits and waits and then one morning as they break fast, he gets the message he’s been waiting for and he quickly excuses himself.

He offers a nod to the Snow boy that his good brother had sent, pleased to not hear him stammer, just a quiet your grace being said. “You had a safe journey?” “Yes. Traded horses just as often as you suggested and I have it.” He quickly presses forward a bundle of what seems to be fabric forward, but the weight and heat that touches his hands tells him that it is indeed what he asked for. “Good.” He adjusts the wriggling package to rest between his sword arm and side as he reaches for a pouch of coins, tossing it to the bastard. “Try not to spend it all in flea bottom, Snow.” He gives a quick bob of his head, eyes wide. “Thank you, your grace.” Daemon doesn’t bother responding, already turning around and heading back to his chambers where his wife is, a smirk on his face as he imagines her reaction to the wriggling gift he has for her.

As decided in the previous✨Build a Heretic✨poll, our Heretic is a relatively normal human! Our next step is to decide on the overall archetype flavor among the original ones available for humans!

Worry not, as the next step will touch upon allegiances to either Chaos Undivided or one of the Gods will allow up to pick one of the expanded versions of archetypes as well!

(You can check the previous poll HERE)

No but... No one LOVES Viserys more than Daemon and Rhaenyra...

Helping him sit up...

devastated Daemon seeing his brother suffer...

wanting to inform him about what's happening behind his back... but at the same time not wanting to make him fee worse :"(

^ introducing him to his grandkids, having named one of his grandsons VISERYS in his honour :")

devastated Daemon again... unable to digest the pain his brother's in, the state he's in...

^ helping him to his medicine, no one else's there to help, Viserys seems to be lonely most of the time...

checking the contents of what is given to Viserys, worryng about his condition and potential harm caused by those surrounding him...

talking about Viserys, worrying about him...

Letting it known that they do not like the way Viserys is treated or changing the decorations he's always loved..

Daemon helping him get up to the throne and putting his crown on him, "Come on.." :"(

Watching him, caring about his well being during dinner

Being very worried when they see him be carried away by the guards due to his bad state.... :"(

These two are the ONLY ONES that genuinely loved him, and they loved him so much :"( ...it's heartbreaking :"(

Had Viserys noticed this LOVE all those years ago... he would have made Daemon his Hand, give him Rhaenyra to take to wife, wed them in the tradition of their house, and together they would turn House of the Dragon to its proper glory, make it GREAT AGAIN.

They had all it took, Daemon and Rhaenyra loved Viserys, and they loved each other. They would've been a force no one would dare stand against... :"(

This is so heartbreaking... Viserys was so good... loving... but ultimately blind and easily manipulated... should've trusted his loved ones despite the fact neither Daemon nor Rhaenyra were perfect. But both of them saw right through Otto and the council RIGHT AWAY and wanted to help Viserys not be fooled or misguided. And they had what others surrounding Viserys never had: the undying and deep love for Viserys :"(

#viserys #viserys and daemyra #viserys and daemon #viserys and rhaenyra #targaryens #targaryen family #daemyra family #daemyra 1x8 #hotd 1x8 #they loved him so much #and he loved them #daemon and rhaenyra #daemon and rhaenyra and viserys #daemon x rhaenyra #goodbye Viserys... i hope you get to be with Aemma now... :"(

Do you think daemon would kill the strong boys so his children could sit on the throne?

Yes.

But it’s conditional.

I definitely think that if there were no consequences whatsoever and Daemon would never get caught. He would kill the Strong boys. He doesn’t seem to love the boys at all. In fact, there’s scenes in the show that show Daemon and Jace outright glaring at one another. And the boys stand in the way of Daemon’s ultimate goal of putting his direct line on the throne. There’s just no reason in my eyes that he wouldn’t kill the boys if he could. He doesn’t love or like them, they aren’t true Valyrians in his eyes, and they are barriers to his goals.

However, realistically, I don’t think he would. Not because he doesn’t want to. But more so because he would almost certainly get caught and the consequences would be disastrous for him. Also, Rhaenyra has bargained for his daughters to marry her sons, so technically his blood will be on the throne in the next generation. It’s not ideal for him, but it’s better than nothing. I’m sure he’d prefer a male primogeniture heir of his and Rhaenyra’s blood to take the throne, but his grandkids being the heirs is a safer and acceptable alternative.

Basically, do I think he would kill the Strong boys if he could? Yes. They’re in his way and he would prefer to have his sons on the throne over them. But do I think he would kill them in this cannon? No. It’s too risky and they’re better for him as pawns to his game than victims that put him at risk.

(And before anyone says “But he does love them!! He made the guards swear loyalty to Jace and did blood and cheese for Luc!!!”. Consider this: he doesn’t love them. He sees them as tools. Tools that keep his relationship with Rhaenyra amicable so he can become king. Tools for getting his blood on the throne with his daughter as queen and grandchildren as rulers. And tools to push for war. Revenge for Luc’s death is not out of love but rather a push for war because we all know he desperately wants war. To the point he will choke his wife for it).
