And The Award For The Worst TV Adaptation Goes To...

Book!Helaena that was so lost into the madness of grief because of her child's death to the point she unalived herself.

VS

Show!Helaena helping the very person who orchestrated the death of her child.

i cannot emphasize it enough to you guys that they're giving book!daemon hating his brother and wanting to steal his throne (that's why he begins grooming rhaenyra and sets her against her siblings and poisons her relationship w them forever) is going to show!aemond right now. book!aemond was never characterized as wanting his brother's throne or hating aegon. that was all daemon in the book 😬

This has got to be one of the most devastatingly good looking side profiles I’ve ever seen on a man

*deep sigh* Ewan Mitchell…the man that you are

I know it’s been said but, damn, I really do hate the way the show turned what was supposed to be a story about how the Targaryens ate themselves because of ego, about two spoiled yet neglected brats wanting to be The One despite already being the most powerful people in the world who horde wealth and ride dragons while average people struggle to find enough to eat and turned it into “Meanie Hightowers attacked the innocent, perfect dragons-and-incest family” just reinforcing the very same arrogance, short-sightedness, and exceptionalism of not just the Targaryens but this whole system that GRRM was trying to criticize.

What did Aemond say to Cole (about his mother?) ? I can't really make out what he's saying before "That makes her a fool"

“Alicent still has love for our enemy and that makes her a fool”

Disrespectful little toad should support his mother’s right to a lesbian life partner.

"And...someone cut down the fucking ratcatchers."

AEMOND TARGARYEN House of the Dragon (2024) 2.01

GIVE HER BACK!!! GIVE HER BACKK!!

GIVE THEM BACKK! GIVE THEM BACKK!!!

They butchered them. They butchered them really bad.

Can’t wait to see how they uniquely ruin his characterization 🥲

Maelor Targaryen and the Last Dragon

Did Maelors egg hatch into the last dragon?

I want to start off with who I think laid Maelors egg

I think it came from either Morghul and Shrykos mating or just Shrykos laying an egg

We know that Shrykos is female and the only way to know that a dragon is female is if they lay eggs meaning at some point she laid eggs

According to the artist who illustrated the "Storming of the Dragon Pit" from Rise of the Dragon, Shrykos is "copperish" while many think of copper as a orange-ish color it CAN be green and if you consider that the name Shrykos likely comes the creatures "Shrykes" who are said to be beings with green-scaled skin that is hint to Shrykos possibly being green

So this could mean that Morghul and Shrykos or just Shrykos laid an egg and that egg was given to their bonded's little brother Maelor, it should also be noted that Maelors egg is not described as a cradle but rather that he was just given an egg

Maelors dragon egg was also described, very rarely are eggs described in this series especially eggs that "don't matter" later, so rare in fact I can't currently think of one

The description for the egg is also similar with the description of the last dragon

"Maelor's egg was pale green with swirls of silver."

"The last dragon was a green female, who lived in Kings Landing. She was small and stunted, with withered wings."

They are both green meaning that her egg likely wouldve been green and his egg likely wouldve hatched into a green dragon

According to this interaction between a fan and Elio in 2014, we might learn more about Maelor in the Dunk and Egg series if it's ever completed, this is also the series that mentions the last dragon the most so that is possibly why we could find out more about him

This is just my theory on which egg the last dragon could've hatched from !! It's pretty short as we know so little about both characters but I thought it was pretty interesting so I hope you enjoyed <3
