MORE HOTD REPTILES AU 🤗 EDIT: After I took a nap I checked the post on my phone and the quality of the image looked like crap, dont know if it is my damn phone or what, but just to make sure I divided the strip in parts, now it looks fine in my phone, I like looking at Vhagar the komodo dragon in good definition ok xD? Also Arrax with his cute little crown. Im in pain, I commited myself and finished this in almost 3 days, never again lol. Headcanons time: -If you follow my other posts you know Aemond and Luceyrs are roommates, Aemond lied and said Vhagar “was friendly” so Luke will stay with them, he had been very careful and nothing happenned for like 3 weeks, but the one time he went jogging and didn’t make sure Vhagar’s enclosure was properly closed something happened.  -His “Lucerys it’s in danger” sense tingled and he came back in time to prevent disaster, but Luke saw Vhagar in his room. -Lucerys knows Vhagar its not “friendly”, but he also wanted the roommates situation to work, so he feigned ignorance and trusted Aemond, after all Vhagar did listen to him, most of the time.  -Vhagar did want to have snack time so bad 😞, but she also loves her almond, so no eathing the tiny dragon, Arrax its “her friend” now, and shes also a new member of Luke’s youtube videos! Plenty of new subscribers thanks to that 😂. -Yes, their silly costumes are a little bit of an hommage to their HOTD real characters, after all we do love to make Luke and Aemond queen and king (Or kings) in a lot of fics 😋. -Also also, yes Luke its wearing crocs with cute charms on them, I also love jogging pants, very comfortable 😌. -Vhagar its inded as tall as Luke when she stands, she’s a full grown Komodo, my doberman its as tall as me when he stands, so I think that makes it possible, I’m like 1.60 m,  5.25 feet, so yeh. -After this Vhagar and Arrax become really good friends indeed, they take walks together with Luke and Aemond, they sunbathe, Luke makes videos with both of them from time to time, they also play catch and chase together, this scares Luke a little, but Vhagar will not hurt Arrax, they are important to her know, Aemond likes them, so does she. -The costumes and videos are a little bit tedious, but Luke makes sure to never do something she hates, and Aemond always gives her special treats and cuddles after them, she also gets a fanbase that sends her gifts! Luke says she’s a star now 😘. -MOre lore that keeps me awake at night: Targ special pet companions Need to be a reptile or amphibian+ blood magic with a Targ blood family member sample, usually blood+ some other secret enchantments. Usually, the parent will bring their baby or child and be shown a wide variety of options, specifically eggs, and if there’s a connection with one or more, they are taken and can go through a series of trials and blood magic rituals, and the one that hatches at the end it’s the one that goes with the client. This process can take some time and specially lots of money from the client. Also, it can only work with people from Valyria, the only ones that can really afford this type of thing are the Targs and their blood family members. They may or may not also have a very restrictive contract with the dragon keepers for this kind of service too, hehe. Driftmark incident and bonding with Vhagar!: Alicent lets Viserys have his way with Aegon and Helaena, they got their pet companions since very young, she agreed since both were also relatively safe options, but then he started to get sick and wasn’t as able as before. She never liked this tradition the Targs had, just looking at Rhaenyra’s Syrax, or even worse, Laena’s Vhagar, the seven forbid one of her kids bonds with a monster like that, so with Aemond she gets more control of what her son get access to bond with, small geckos, frogs, turtles…safe and/or small companions, but none of those take, time passes and then Aemond decides he wants to have a big crocodile like his father, Alicent hates the idea, she wasn’t a Targaryen, so she really didn’t believe it was safe. But no matter what other small safe reptiles Aemond was shown none of them reacted. Aemond knew why, he didn’t want any of those “safe” companions, Aegon and Jace won’t stop bullying him with one of those, he needed something that commanded respect, not something “small and safe”. More time pases and Aemond still doesn’t have a pet companion, Alicent stops trying, and he gives up a little. The day of the funeral the kids dare Aemond to go into Vhagar’s enclosure. He accepts and goes into Vhagar’s room at Daemon and Laena’s house, there he finds this really big lizard he has never seen before. The dragon keepers haven’t shown him anything like it, and even if it’s not a croc, he knows this would definitely do, his excitement goes away when he kind of feels the creature’s sadness. He starts to sing her a Valyrian lullaby (The one Daemon sings to Vermithor), and this catches Vhagar’s attention, she goes out from her enclosure and Aemond touches her snout (Like in how to train your dragon, hehe) while he says Lykiri and Dohaeras (Like in the show!). Vhagar can sort of feel the connection, but we still need the blood for it to be completed. Cue the other children. Aegon and Jace can be a little bit mean and feel kind of “attacked” (Inferiority complex it’s that you?), that Aemond it’s getting a good reaction from Vhagar, they weren’t expecting that after all, and because children can be little shits they enter the room and try to make fun of Aemond for singing Vhagar a lullaby, Vhagar has never seen this other children before and doesn’t like all the noise so she goes back to her enclosure. Rhaena and Baela are not vibing that much with the bullying, neither does Luke, but then Aemond gets mad and lashes at everyone, telling them they have lame companions, how they wish they could have something as cool as Vhagar, especially the idiot Strong bastards. Luke and the girls are sad and crying and answering their own mean things to Aemond and then everyone its fighting. Aegon knows their parents are gonna kill him if something happens, so he runs away in search of the adults. There is some stuff used to feed Vhagar in the room (Gloves, scissors, thongs and stuff like that) and in the struggle those things end up in the floor with Aemond and Jace, Aemond grabs the scissors and slashes them around in desperation and ends up cutting Jace a little. Its then that Luke, that was comforting Laena and Baela after they got punched in the squabble, sees this and gets scared, and ends up pushing Aemond, he trips around the mess and pierces his eye with the scissors, by then the adults arrive and all hell breaks loose. While everyone screams, Vhagar gets close to Aemond and licks some of his blood from the floor, Laena its dead, and she likes this feisty hatchling, so the bonding gets completed. Still, the adults are fighthing, but the kids get to say the truth about the taunting and the mean words and Alicent, Rhaenyra and Viserys see the damage that has been done through the adults mean remarks and hatred. So yes, they are all very mad, and are not in the very best terms then, but they all decide to start going to family therapy, so not everything goes to shit in a couple of years, this way Lucemond and Jacegon can still be a little bit toxic, but nobody needs to die, ok? Also Alicent freaks out and almost passes out when she sees the monstruosity sitting at her son’s side, that makes everyone go back to their rooms, lol. 

Aemond is more of a cat person than dog person for sureeee.

But but but have you thought about a bigass lizard as Vhagar? Now that's my favorite modern AU version of her!!

Honestly I like dog!Arrax but we can be a tad more creative with him as well, I just don't have any ideas yet.

Lizard Vhagar??? Galaxy brain. Komodo Dragonnnnn !!!

But oooh unconventional pet arrax?

Chimp? Very friendly and again chill and cuddly with everyone else, but Aemond is convinced he's gonna end up getting mauled by Luke's ridiculous primate pet.

Grown ass tea cup pig? Luke got him as a joke that Aemond hates hates hates bc of some modern version of the 'we found u a dragon' incident and Luke loves for that exact reason.

Chinchilla? He just be chilling in Luke's hands/lap/on his shoulders at all times, and when he's not he's eating Aemonds shoe laces and annoying Vhagar any way he can.

My thoughts on House of the Dragon S1E6: The Princess and the Queen:

Such a great episode with such a sad ending for multiple parties. Great drama, suspense, and foreshadowing of future events.

Nice, & kinda strange, to finally see Rhaenyra & Alicent as adults with a trio of children each.

Beyond happy to finally see Vhagar in all her glory! To me, she looks like a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex or Komodo Dragon with wings, which is pretty badass! Great scene with her & Laena flying & showing off with Daemon & Caraxes!

Happy to finally see inside the Dragonpit! Enjoyed the scene with Jaecerys training to command young Vermax.

Aegon II is such an irksome twat & I already despise him!

Vastly enjoyed seeing Harwin Strong knock Criston Cole on his petty, bitter ass & beat his face in a bit.

Wished that we could have seen more of Rhaenyra & Harwin’s relationship. He was so good & loyal to both her & her sons. So sad to see him & his father die at the hands of criminal scumbags sent by Larys, the conniving little shit.

Laena choosing her own fate of a dragonrider’s death was incredibly badass. Wished we had seen her first meet & bond with Vhagar in one of the earlier episodes. Their bond was amazing & Vhagar’s clear reluctance to burning her rider was heartbreaking.

Can’t wait to see what happens next!

Question: is vhagar an actual dragon in the poly fics or is she like a super large like land Komodo dragon?

She is an actual dragon, old and cranky. The best alarm system when you live in the neck of the woods.

House of the Dragon tag game!

Thanks to @jotterjots for tagging me. I'm new in this fandom so it was a pleasant suprise to se me tagged somewehre. Anyways lets begin. 1.Who's your favorite character? What draws you to them? Its Aegon for me, he was one of my favs in the book and in the show he appealed to me due to his nature of being aware he is not suited for the throne, he's an asshole, his frat boy energy and looking like a wet pathetic cat with pleading eyes. Also him in his king outfit looks fire af. xD 2.What's your favorite episode of the season? For me its Driftmark, I love the whole conflict with Aemond's eye or The Lord of the Tides with the dinner scene that warms my heart and has great moments. 3.What is your favorite line from the season? "Her children are BASTARDS" idk this line stuck in my head, probably due to Vaemond's hilarious delivery 4.Which actor's portrayal is your favorite? Now this is difficult because I think everyone did a wonderful job in breathing live to the character. If I am to decide I have to pick Olivia Cooke as Alicent. 5.Which character would you most want to be stuck on a deserted island with? woah difficult but I think I'll pick Aemond, I did not take his eye so he wouldn't be so hostile to me and he is also smart so I'll take my chances with him 6.Name a minor character you want to know more about! Erryk and Arryk, why did they make their choices. 7.Who's character arc are you most interested to see continued, for better or worse? Aegon I want to see how he progresses as King and see if they do the same as in the book or go their own route. 8.Who's your most anticipated new character of Season 2? SUNFYRE MY BOYYYYYYYYYY I've been so sad to not see him in season 1 hopefully they'll do him right and as of a human it’s definitely Daeron, he was not in season 1 and I hope to see him next season, I'm excited to see who they have casted for him. 9.Which is your favorite dragons of the ones we saw? Vhagar, with her Dinosaur/Komodo Dragon look was very cool to see. She's so surreal being a living history relic. 10.What's your favorite relationship from this season? (romantic, platonic, antagonistic- whichever!) It's the one between Alicent and Rhaenyra, how they started as friends and deteriorated over the years. I also kinda like the might I say friendship between Criston and Alicent. 11.Link one or more of your favorite pieces of fanart! (Have you reblogged it already? Consider reblogging it again! Do NOT repost) There would be this of Aegon and Aemond in modern clothes and this of all the green sibs. Everything @ice-mint draws xD 12.Link one or more of your favorite fics! its hard to choose... here is one I really liked its Aegon x OC. There are many more stories I liked ofc. :D 13. Link one or more of your favorite gifsets! (^^Same) This one, just like above there are many more I like too. Edit: this one too Again, thank you for tagging me. :)

What I’m wondering is: How did Meraxes and Balerion look? I’m assuming that Vhagar lost her horns as she aged, but did she always look like a Komodo Dragon? Did Bal and Mer look like that too? Or where they also diverse?

More HOTD reptiles AU yay!!! MUAJAJAJAJJAJA IM DONE!! Omg, I’m getting more and more used to the new brush, I think this one was even easier to color than the last one 😄 -Vhagar definitely wants to eat Arrax, dont worry she won’t, Im planing to do a little comic about it after this drawing 💕 -In this AU Aemond and Luke are roommates in college, the college dorms wouldn’t let Arrax stay with Luke (And of fucking course and even less Vhagar, lol), and as Aemond its also going to the same college and its living near, so why not? -Aemond did lose his eye in a Driftmark and Laena funeral related incident, but after all hell broke lose the family did decide to go to theraphy, thank god... so their family relationship is not as fucked up as it normally is xD. -So A and L are in OK therms with each other, and other secret feelings may be there too 👀.... -Yes Aemond went to theraphy and doesn’t want to take Luke’s eye, but my boi cannot not be obssesed and a little cucu in the head for Lucerys, his therapist its trying ok? They are kind of toxic, but not chernobyl style 😂 -So he really really really wants the roommates situation to work, so he lies and says Vhagar its friendly... a big fat lie, everyone in the neighborhood they live in its scared shitless of Vhagar, she eats the feral pigeons ffs, the poor things. She does listens to Aemond, so nobody’s dog or cat has died, but the poor feral animals beware.  -Luke has a youtube chanel where he talks about literature, his life and little Arrax, and because they’re both adorable they do have some fans, he has some really cute harnesses and costumes for little Arrax and makes videos every week. -Arrax and Vhagar will eventually be really good friends, after all, when she used to live with Laena she was friends with Caraxes the Tegu and “Laena’s little hatchlings” weird dragon companions (To Vhagar all other reptiles are some kind of dragon like her). Vhagar also gets how desesperate Aemond is to “correctly court” the other little human, and eating the tiny dragon wont help him, so she wont 😌

Helouu, Im back with more content for my HOTD reptiles AU uwu. I’m kind of losing my marbles here, normally I use corel painter to do my stuff, but for some reason the program has been giving me the middle finger really hard, recently I had to replace my graphic tablets pen and I havent used the program in some time, so I don’t even know why now it doesn’t wanna work anymore ;w;, it frezees and crashes and to be able to work I need to save my work like every brush stroke I do, and its just crap. Every time the damn thing died it made a back up and by the time I had like 10 I just couldn’t... so I had to completely change my approach, another program another brush, but I still liked it a lot, just took me a couple days to decide and find something else I was comfortable enough to work with, I’ve been using the same brush for years and I’m really attached to the damn thing, and Corel support its gonna take some time to solve my problem, so I think I’ll just do the whole series of drawings in this new style, tough I really like and miss how my brush usually blends things and argggg, well, I hope you all don’t mind the huge learning curve you will totally get to see while I get used to the new brush and everything, for now I’ll give you an unfinished grandma Vhagar that I was really happy with, but just couldn’t finish for the love of god, and the Jacegon drawing 😄, with little Vermax the jackson chameleon and Sunfire the sulcata tortoise 💕. I think I’m gonna redo the Lucemond first drawing with this stile too, that way it will be coherent and I’ll be able to finish it more to my taste. In case someone needs context here is my first post: https://www.tumblr.com/darushi-chan/709399100359163904/hotd-modern-au-where-everyones-dragons-are-some?source=share

More details for the AU: -Jace and Aegon ran away to Italy and started their own wine company called “The usurper” 😂. -Of course they totally did not buy a vineyard state on a coozy hill with their trust fund, nope. -Oh yes, Sunfire the golden, the official grape tester for the wine, yes...Vermax its there for moral support and to eat any bugs that dare to interrupt them or show in the grapes. -And obviously Aegon had to join to, gotta make sure that wine its just the best of the best for their new company. -Jace may not approve now but he’ll see the light for sure. -Alicent and Rhaenyra are totally giving them money “as investors” so they dont starve while they start the company, like the complete privileged kids they are 😂.

More HOTD Reptiles AU yay! I was torn between a pool day and a beach day for my next drawing, but after reading @avonneslovelies wonderful and super funny drabble ( Through the Kaleidoscope, part 6) where Lucemond are at the beach I got in the mood for beach shenanigans uwu.  -Luke wants to make a video in the beach with Arrax, so Aemond makes sure he doesn’t lose the opportunitty to tag along, and also have a beach date mind you. -There’s a pet friendly beach near their neigboorhood, so they decide to go there and terrorize the whole beach so they would leave them alone in a 30 m radius (like 20 foot I think?). -Of course Aemond its a responsable owner and would never let Vhagar of leash (the seabirds wont survive if he does, even the poor crabs), but when you and your dog see a Vhagar you pack your things and run, the ones brave enough to try and take pictures get the Aemond stare of death TM  and back off before they can even ask.    -Vhagar its having the time of her life, she really likes the beach, she digs around, trying to dig eat the crabs, sunbathes and even gets to swim with her Aemond, Luke and Arrax. She also gets to give mean looks to the dogs that are too curious for their own good, she might have wanted to eat the tiny dragon before, but nothing would happen to him now if she has a say in the matter ok? -Luke may be a little bit more in secret love with Aemond and his damn lucious perfect pantene commercial hair, his not so subtle heart sunglasses are definitely perfect for the occasion.  I also had the pool idea in mind, one of my bffs lives in this hoa type of neighborhood and they have a public pool area that you can reserve for birthdays and stuff, so meh, let's throw some of that here. -I’ve seen that even if you ask for the place for a private matter there’s people that still decide to also use the pool, but when everyone hears that the weird goth dude and his fricking dinosaur are going to the pool they know it may as well be closed (Aemond and Luke have the Targaryen power and money, but prefer their privacy, so nobody knows their last names, the Targs make sure everyone respects that). -The pool rules say no pets allowed, but Aemond IDGAF Targaryen doesn’t care, the HOA will have to go through him before they ruin Luke’s day and his date. -Aemond going into his karen mode and making the HOA remember how much he pays and what terrible things might or might not happen if they decide to interfere with his use of the facilities lives rent free in my head. -Luke its very kind and a very nice kid, but you would not convince me he doesn’t take advantage of his rich kid privilege and his terrifying uncle almost boyfriend from time to time, he makes sure the pool its nice and tidy before they go back home, so meh, he’s still a very responsable member of the community. 

HOTD Reptile AU Have a look at Vhagar’s excellent mental images of the other pets she has known so far, for her all other reptilish beings are dragons, like her, lol. -Her favorite its obviously Balerion ll, Visy T saltwater croc 😂, she’s a big fan. -Sunfire really intrigues her, such a heavy and round looking dragon... also the noodle dragons, what happened to their legs?!! -Water cage dragon its kind of boring, doesn’t take sunbaths and never goes out of that water prison.  -The tiny dragons are ok, she doesn’t like the horny one that much tough, her master hates its master, so she obviously has to comply. She also can’t eat the tiny white one, apparently master its in love with its tiny master, so complicated.  -Big cheeks its very fun, his master let them sunbathe together when she was with Laena. -She will never understand why the veggies dragon wont eat meat, she said she was “vegetarian” or some weird shit. -The magician dragon its interesting, it walks over the water in the pool, she prefers swimming tough.

HOTD Modern AU where everyones dragons are some kind of reptile or amphibian.  Sooo, I finally gathered the courage to add my own stuff to the HOTD fandom, lol. I love reptiles, specifically Komodo dragons, I’ve made like 3 different college projects with them and it was impossible for me to not see Vhagar as one, I’ve seen other really good takes with old grandma V being a snapping turtle, an alligator and so on, and then I decided to imagine my own modern AU were all the Targaryan dragons in HOTD are some kind of reptile pet! -Because Targ shenanigans they do have a special bond with their reptile friend (Thats the only way you get a croc and a Komodo to dont eat you, lol). -The dragon keepers are a special reptile breeder company, the Targs are like one of their most important clients . -To add more lore and stuff I like the idea of them living in a made up european country called Valyria, like Genovia from the princess diaries, or at least just a modern westeros and Valyria being their something something big company where they work. -If they live in Valyria they do have the monarchy problems, but without the murder plis, Aegon ll its like fuck you all and runs away to Italy or France and starts a wine company called “The usurper” xD.  -Because I like Jacegon, Jace goes along with him so he doesn’t die from bad decisions and because I think he’ll be more reliable with the new company stuff hahahahaha, Aegon just tests the wine ok 😂?  -Lucerys its also like, the crown? No thanks, and goes to college to study literature, also in the some college as Aemond, who’s in a History major, they’re roommates 👀. -Joffrey its even less interested in the crown and decides to help his grampa Corlys with Driftmark. -I’m mexican, I dont know how Dukedoms and all that fancy european stuff works, Driftmark can be one of those or something, I’ll do some research after the reptile drawings ok xD? -That way the crown can go to little Aegon the younger without anybody dying yay. -Rhaenyra its not that ok with this, but she loves her kids, and hopes little Egg doesn’t run away too.... Im just starting with my favorite incest deranged couple, Lucemond 😚. I think its obvious this is not completed at all 😅, but I was really exited about it and wanted to talk about it after being working on it all day 😄.

More stuff about the not dragons! -They can’t live the hundreds of years of the dragons, so lets make them live as long as their owner lives, an average 80-90 years, for this HC sake hahahaha, specially because turtles, komodos and crocs are able to live long lives too! So lets make all the other special Targ reptiles/amphibians live longer too 😝. -This makes Grandma V, Vhagar ll, because Vhagar l was Visenya’s, when Laena dies in some kind of accident Aemond claims Vhagar ll so she doesn’t die, specially because she wasn’t that old then, wiki says Laena dies at 27, I havent thought that much about what happens in the Driftmart incident, but something happens 👀! -Then the Viserys l Balerion it’s Balerion ll too! Vissy T gets to keep his croc and makes him an awesome enclosure, lol. Alicent never goes there 😂, but Viserys likes to see when the servants feed him or to just chat with his friend, he has this really nice enclosure like in the zoos where you can go like underground and see them swim.

-Helaena’s kids can have little geckos or something cute like that, I need to think about it 🤔.

-Im not very sure about Caraxes being a red Tegu, they’re awesome, but I don’t know if I should make him be something else, any thoughs anyone 🤔? If you have any other ideas that are different from the ones I have so far let me know 😉!! The only ones that Im very sure about are Vhagar and Arrax, I’m really in love with the idea, and I also like them all being something different, except for Silverwing and Vermithor uwu.

I love Vhagar's design, it kinda reminds me of a Komodo dragon.
