LORD I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS

Interesting.

Aegon II leading the posters on official account? What the hell? This must be a dream right? Am I hallucinating? I was expecting to see the typical Alicent sad eyes face leading the posters with the tagline "Burn my Sons".

Imagine how much power they would hold if only they were united? I can see them dancing like that at the feast Aegon threw in Aemond’s honor. Seems like I’ve just created my new favorite headcanon, so now I want to share it with y’all.

Honestly I like this more than the original poster.

I feel we don’t talk about her enough. Phia acted the hell out of shitty ass material she had to work with. I loved her facial expressions in this crappy Blood and Cheese scene, her portrayal of Helaena’s grief at Jaehaerys’ funeral, as well as her eerie aura in the throne room scene. GRRM, as well as Phia’s costars praised her on her amazing work.

Last weekend, “The Maids” premiered in New York. The actresses were received standing ovations. Phia, who plays one of the main characters (alongside Lydia Willson) must have contributed to the play’s success.

In my view, Phia is terribly underrated in general and her talent - mind-bogglingly underutilized by HOTD writers. I wish Helaena’s costumes were better as well.

Okay.

"How do Rhaenyra's taxes kill people, let alone in countless, thats bullshit"

Taxes, raised to extreme level = poor smallfolk pay all their money to the monarch.

Poor smallfolk pay money all money to the monarch = poor smallfolk left with little to no money.

Taxes rise, the merchants also pay extreme Taxes = Merchant raises the prise of basic goods (its called inflation)

Poor smallfolk with no money and prices of basic goods too extreme to afford = smallfolk cannot buy food

Smallfolk cannot but food = starvation

*"*Rhaenyra is not racist she was just paranoid and thats why she ordered to kill Nettels"

Nettles skin colour being dark.

Rhaenyra extremely paranoid = listens to Mysaria, who is sleeping with Daemon that because Nettles sleot with Daemon she betrayed her.

Rhaenyra had given Daemon free reign to sleep around.

Rhaenyra says there is no drop of Valyrian blood in Nettles and it is obvious just by looking at her, accusing her of blood magic while her own sons look nothing like Valyrians = Rhaenyra racist.

"Rhaenyra did not usurp Baela"

Rhaenyra knows her children are bastards still makes them the heirs = Baela gets no chance and is being groomed to never know a claim.

Rhaenyra is afraid of being usurped, still usurps driftmark = Rhaenyra is a usurper.

Or the fight would've been between Jace and Daemon's sons.

with season 3 coming up , i decided to make this handy bingo chart bc lord knows valid criticism will NOT be tolerated by casual viewers . also great for other fandoms! the boys final season

something tells me they’re gonna make rhaenyra a “good queen” by having her redirect all her anger and vengeance towards the nobles while giving out food and helping out the smallfolk, something she definitely does in the book 🥸, like what they had her do in s2, sending food to kingslanding through blackwater bay as to have the smallfolk turn against the greens.
