Thinking about the myriad theories of men bonding Dany's dragons (and it's always men). Amidst all of the theorizing and meta writing and inaccurate characterization of the lore, what goes most ignored is that the dragons exist in relation to Daenerys. I don't just mean physically or magically––they are an extension of her. They are her children, her soul, and a symbol of her.
Daenerys does want two men she can trust to ride her dragons. But it's about Dany's trust, and Dany's love for her dragons, that is at the crux of who will "get" to bond with them in the future. It's not about which man in the series has enough Valyrian blood, or is brave enough, or has the right magical tools. As it is, Euron will likely steal a dragon (stealing and bonding a dragon are two different things). But when it comes to ideas of who will be other two heads, people forget that the three heads cannot be complete if the two other people in it don't irrevocably love and trust Dany, and are loved and trusted by her.
Hence why most theories about "who will bond the dragons" fail.

Being a batfam fan is so embarrassing. They’re the parasites of the comic industry, they show up all over the place choking out the natural biodiversity. And we just keep reading the comics and saying things like ‘maybe this time it will be good!’ 😞

Let us no longer hold ill feelings in our hearts. The crown cannot stand strong if the House of the Dragon remains divided. Set aside your grievances, if not for the sake of the crown... then for the sake of this old man who loves you all so dearly.
AKA Viserys just wanting his family to stop fighting and be happy and getting that as his last wish, if only for a little while.
