“Underneath All That Patch

"As the power shifts, and Rhaenyra starts to gain more power, it starts to ebb with Alicent. There's always this like, you know, invisible umbilical cord holding them together." - Olivia Cooke for The Hollywood Reporter

Helaena Targaryen | Blood and Cheese (HOTD 2x01)

Literal chills... 😭 as underwhelming as B&C was in the show, this edit hits right in the feels.

Aemond Targaryen - House of the Dragon S2E1 -> a son for a son

hotd purposefully making all the greens look incompetent af to highlight how great their TB protagonists are in return backfires so hard it's actually funny.

in the book the greens were a powerhouse, they had the best warrior, the bigger army, great political minds on their side, the bigger dragons and strong competent riders to ride them. they were a threat. the show making them all stupid makes rhaenyra & the rest of tb look so weak and stupid in return. like you can't even win against those guys? really? also it shows how rhaenyra is a poorly written character - it is necessary to ruin other characters like alicent, aegon, daemon and aemond for her to appear smart & capable.

I really want to like HotD because I really like The Dance in F&B. But as the season went on, it became less of an adaptation of a story I remembered fondly and more of a prequel to a show I did not want to be reminded of. Please stop trying to mcu-ify the show and just tell a self-contained story. I absolutely do not care how this relates to characters who won't be alive for the next 200 years. Your plot and characters should matter and have stakes and motivations that are relevant NOW.

Fanfiction about my favourite war criminal coming soon uwu

“BUT ITS CANON!!!1!1”

Anyways no amount of waxing poetry and pretending to intellectualize Ryan Condal & Sara Hess’s terrible writing will make it any less terrible and they will never be anywhere near GRRM. You love Ryan Condal & Sara Hess’s fanfiction not GRRM’s work and that’s valid for some of yall. 💞

Add Aemond to that because that was the most OOC thing I've ever seen in the leaks.

condal was like: you know d&d were so clever and smart
