shyt was filled, nothing happened except trash plotting. She sent a nicca to harrenhal when she could've sent him sooner to fetch bytch ass daemon. Maybe real rhae and melys would still be around

1. So let's just say fukk exploring what happens in the fallout of basically a nuke being dropped. Sure...let's just jet forward to the next battle :comeon:

2. Plotting is how wars are actually won. Battles are the culmination of plot falling apart. If you plot well, you don't have to fight. Did ya'll learning nothing from Littlefinger, Tyrion, etc.

3. Daemon wasn't SENT to Harrenhal he LEFT. The Blacks can only hope he's raising banners for Rhae, but he ain't. His storyline isn't just about Harrenhal's curse. It's about how Daemon's arrogance and selfishness, how his marriage to Rhae, in his mind, is merely a means to claim the throne for himself. But the Black council doesn't know that, so she sent dude to find out.

4. Rook's Rest was a gambit that worked for Greens and would have been a total victory had it not been for Aegon. Either way, the attack HAD to be answered and Melys was the best option. 1v1 perhaps Melys COULDA won against Vhagar, but we'll never know. For what the Green's gained in land, they lost in morale. The commoners DO NOT like seeing dead Dragons and the king is on death's door.

Also, aren't suppose to know Valyrian in order to speak/command the dragons?


how watered down targs are supposed to get a rosetta stone crash course on valyrian? :gucci:

can someone explain how they are going to get around that?

It's less about the language and moreso about the blood. Dragons (allegedly) will only accept riders with some blood from Old Valyria. Be that Targaryen, Velaryon, etc.

In real life history there used to be a European practice called "first night" or "right of the first night" where feudal lords had the legal authority to fukk any peasant woman on their land during her wedding night. In Game Of Thrones it's how a lot of b*stards with royal or lord blood were born. House Baratheon was founded by the b*stard half brother of Aegon The Conqueror, for instance.

The practice was banned by King Jaehaerys, Rhaenyra's grandfather. One of many reasons he's considered a great king by the smallfolk, and everyone has nice things to say about him in the show lol. Also worth mentioning while the practice was banned throughout Westeros, Targaryens on Dragonstone continued to fukk common women, but now willingly since smallfolk wanted b*stard children (they were given gold, jobs, education, etc). So there are multiple people on Dragonstone with Targaryen blood.

Daemon eating his mother out. Lord have mercy! :picard: (but I think it might have really been the witch).

That one mouthy member of Rhaenyra's council. :mjlol:

Take your place on your throne, Aemond! :blessed:

Rhaenyra and Jace on the hunt for Targaryen b*stards. They must be truly desperate.

Why everyone calling the blacksmith a potential dragon rider? Is it because of the white hair? Regular non targs dont have white hair as well? :dahell:

white-haired civilian that just happens to be allllll in the episodes lol, then Rhaenrya and Jace about to dig in the archives and look for potential b*stards to ride the remaining dragons

can't be a coincidence
Wait I must have them confused
I was thinking of the guy who claims he's a b*stard
The white haired civilian you referring to..is that blacksmith?
