For me it’s pretty simple. I’m team Black because when Viserys declared Rhanerya his heir he had all the lord’s swear to uphold his decision. I guess that makes me a Stark because Cregan upheld his father’s vow.

(Just a disclaimer: no, I haven't read the books, so I'm going solely based on the show.)

1. I would've sent Alicent to the High Septon to confess her sins, say she was guided by her own ambitions and heard what she wanted to hear from Viserys, and also have her say Aegon abdicated the throne because of it. I'd also let the High Septon know she has confessed this to me and that, after confessing, she felt even more guilty. She (Alicent) believes that the only way to atone for her sins is for them to declare me as queen. Now, this next part might be a bit controversial, but I would've had Alicent on my Small Council because she at least has some knowledge of ruling the kingdoms. I'd want that kind of advice, but also the bluntness Alicent would give me. It'd also be a great way to further prove the legitimacy of my claim by having a Hightower on my council. Now, if Alicent doesn't comply, I'd threaten her with Helaena (obviously, I'm not actually going to harm her in the end—she'll get her chicken farm after all of this, trust me). But if she does comply, I'd give Helaena free roam, but she has to remain in King's Landing, and she could visit Alicent. Either way, Helaena or any of her children won't be harmed in the matter. She'd still be confined, but she'd have a lot more access and free roam that way, so she doesn't develop cabin fever.
2. Now, if Alicent does everything I need her to do, I’d send her, Helaena, and her granddaughter to the Eyrie. I’d actually push for Helaena to go with her dragon because, based on the show, she doesn’t enjoy riding, so I wouldn’t have to worry too much about her dragon being used against me. I’d have them and the dragon escorted by Silverwing (Ulf), alongside the Velaryon fleet. That solves the deal with jane. I’d want gold and an army from her, and Ulf would then escort the army I requested, along with the gold, back to King’s Landing. It keeps him busy and away from the taverns and such, but it also makes him feel important. Also, I probably wouldn’t tell him about the gold part lol. I’d have Alicent or someone do the talking.
3. While that is happening, I in fact would not be sleeping with Mysaria, at least not until she’s done something of use lol. I’d have her spread around, as best she could, that Aegon mismanaged the Crown’s funds and spent all of the Crown’s royal money on his vices, which feeds the hatred toward the Greens once again.
4. This may add fuel to the fire of me being the Queen of Bastards, but I’ve gotta do it: I’d legitimize Corlys’s children.Now, as for Ulf and Hugh, I probably won’t legitimize them at all. But if I was feeling generous, they wouldn’t get the Targaryen name at all. Instead, I’d let them start a new house.
   • If I did, I’d call them Blackfyre, obviously after the sword. (Yes, I know the history with the Blackfyres.) But I’d have them sign away their rights to the Iron Throne, while still giving them land.
5. Next, instead of sending Daemon, I’d just have Hugh and Addam go to the Hightower army in exchange for Daeron. Obviously, I’m not letting Daeron leave without his dragon. Why on earth would i leave a dragon with them atl all… Addam and Daeron will leave, but Hugh, however, would stay behind, and I’d have him kill them all. They couldn’t be trusted under any circumstances.This adds a bit to how ruthless and unforgiving I’d become. Yeah, it may look bad, but they’d know who not to play with.
6. Once Daeron arrives back, I’d have him bend the knee, or he will be sent to the Wall. Unfortunately for him, he’s not Helaena, so no, I’m not bluffing.
7. Now, after that Hightower army is burnt away, every single aiding/allying house will pay a hefty tithe to the Crown’s royal fund, which includes gold and food. Most of that food is immediately going to the smallfolk.
8. Now, as for one-eyed Aemond, I’d have Daemon and Hugh hunt for him, following Vhagar’s tracks. If he’s back in time, Ulf can join them. Now, as for Aegon, I’d actually check to make sure Sunfyre was dead. I’d send Baela and Addam to be sure that the dragon is dead and have them come back to King’s Landing once the death is officially confirmed.

Honestly speaking this stupid prophecy they have made the centre of the show and reason for Alicent claiming the crown for Aegon and Rhaenyra going mad is stupid as hell considering how they adapted the other events. Rhaenyra is incompetent as hell and she believes that she is the prince that was promised it doesn't take much for someone to just that nope no ways even if they haven't read the books or watched Game of Thrones. I think everyone now is looking forward to Rhaenyras death.

Examples:

Rhaenyra: "Bring aegon the usurper to me" "I am awash in dilemmas and deficiencies. let me find my footing and i will attend to your request" “Naejot Māzīs Vermithor”

Young Rhaenyra: „Dracarys“

Aegon: "Im alive...imbecile"

Helaena "I will not have any beast harmed"

Oscar Tully: "Criston Cole, traitor, usurper, defiler of justice, come fourth to hear your faith"
"I promised the dead to build a Sept out of traitors' bones. I don't have enough bones yet"

What is yours?

Now that season 3 is over, let's talk hypotheticals shall we? Team Green vs Team Black, who are your fighters and who do you think is winning?

Here are my thoughts:

Team Black

1. Daemon Targaryen

2. Jacearys Velaryon/Targaryen/Waters

3. Cregan Stark

4. Roderick Dustin

5. Steffon Darklyn

6. Erryk Cargyll

7. Lorent Marbrand

Team Green

1. Aegon Targaryen

2. Aemond Targaryen

3. Criston Cole

4. Ormund Hightower

5. Jon Roxton

6. Arryk Cargyll

7. Rickard Thorne.

Team Green is stacked but I wouldn't put it past Aegon to get himself killed in the process 😭
