Rhaenyra (+Daemon) betrothed Baela and Jace along with Rhaena and Luke for political reasons and political alone. That’s not to say that Baela, Jace, Rhaena, and Luke don’t have feelings for one another but to act as if Rhaenyra and Daemon just betrothed then because they believe in “tRue LOve is stupid. And in general I don’t understand why everybody believes that Team Black is a happy family with no problems. Especially when canon evidence proves otherwise. Jace doesn’t like Daemon, Baela was sent to Driftmark (against her will), Rhaena is addressing her stepmother/cousin as “your grace” or “my Queen” which is the equivalent in modern times to a stepdaughter acknowledging her stepmother as Mrs. _, Luke is unfortunately very insecure and only exists in scenes so we can see how good of a mother Rhaenyra is, we saw Joffrey a handful of times and I don’t believe he spoke not once. To top it all off Daemon choked Rhaenyra.

Everyone likes to talk about Team Green’s dysfunctional family relationships but at least their open with their dysfunction. Melanie Martinez’s Dollhouse is quietly playing in the back of all of Team Black’s scenes.

Yep. It’s not about love(such is the case for Dumbnyra too because if it was Daemon wouldn’t abandon Rhaenyra ever chance he got).

The headcanons that they are all one big happy family is nothing but pure cope. Those kids were not happy:

And neither were Dumbnyra:

Team Green is definitely not perfect, but they are a unit and when push comes to shove they would die for each other(that’s why Rhaena eventually married into House Hightower 😊). Team Black 😬

Well Daemon did say he’d feed his kids to some dragons 🤷🏽‍♀️

There is one person that Daemon would die for though 😏(You know my crazy a** has to throw this in here):

BA's turning on Evan is very funny to me ngl

Man, the Warner siblings looks very disappointed today

the fitness YouTuber I based Dex on is engaged and the vibes are SO off I hate it

Show me all your cookie ocs, I know you have them

. . WELL HOW MYCH YIME DO YOU HAVE? HOW SAD ARE YOU WILLING YO GET. THERE ARE 70 OR MORE OF THESE MOTHERFUCKERS AND ALMOST NO ONE IS HAPPY.

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

Extremely belated postscript that should have been here far earlier:
