Daemon “keep my wife's name out of your f***ing mouth” Targaryen.
(kind of a sequel to this)
HOUSE OF THE DRAGON “The Lord of the Tides” (2022) dir. Geeta Vasant Patel.
Game of Thrones: we changed Asha’s name to Yara because we didn’t want people getting Asha confused with Osha.
House of the Dragon: Yo what up? We got Daemon, Aemond and Vaemond, a bunch of Aegons, a couple of Joffreys, Rhenys and Rhaenyra, and Rhaena, Baela, and Laena. Oh and who could forget Arryk and Erryk, the twin brothers!
The “sympathy” given to Vaemond Velaryon is ridiculous (we all know that it is really about digging way too hard for a motive to portray Rhaenyra as “evil”). Comparing his death to that of Lyman Beesbury is reaching.
Lyman Beesbury was an honorable old man who had the courage to speak up during a treasonous and secretive Council meeting whose purpose was to usurp the rightful heir to the throne. He had no personal motivation and was of pure heart when he accused the Greens of high treason. And those vipers killed him for it.
Vaemond Velaryon was a snake in the grass, just like Larys Strong and Otto Hightower.
He was nephew to Corlys Velaryon, a coward, an opportunist and an upstart himself, who sought to use malicious rumors and the misfortune of a woman brought down on her by the members of his own House (they all knew about Laenor’s true nature) to not only take Driftmark away from Lord Corlys’ chosen heir, Lucerys, but also from Baela and Rhaena.
He's black, proud and won't bow down to white thieves. Where's the problem in that? 🤨
And just remember, the writers had to add the sexist insult 'whore' just so they could take the blame from Rhaenyra and JUSTIFY the murder of a black man with a right to the throne of his ancestors!!!
Daemon “he’s the giggler at the funeral” Targaryen.
