Both parents had their obvious favorites, but where do you think the rest of their children would rank on Jaehaerys' and Alysanne's respective lists, from favorite to least favorite?

What if the Cannibal was the dragon of Aurion, the self proclaimed Emperor of Valyria?

Could be why the inhabitants of Dragonstone say that he’s been there since before the conquest since Aurion died in 102BC.

This however would make him older than Balerion by a couple of decades by the time of the dance and unlike Balerion, Cannibal isn’t showing any signs of super old age when people do spot him.

My personal theory is that he might be one of Balerions own hatchlings since dragons are neither male or female and he even looks abit like him being pure black with the only other colours being the eyes, with his being green instead of Balerions red.

Any other theories?

Killing little Jaehaerys over aemond killing luke was not right . I lost respect for team black for killing little Jaehaerys..

I see instances of people thinking targaryens are fire proof and using it as a reason to make fun of Aegon and yet more team black members have burned then team green.

Daemon, rhaenys, Laena and Rhaenyra all burn. In the show daemon is burned by a Flaming arrow during the crab feeder fight, Laena has Vhagar Burn her alive. In the books rhaenys corpse is found charred after Rooks rest and well we all know what happens to Rhaenyra.

How do you think it would have been if season 1 of hotd focused on Jaehaerys backstory as a 14 year old and how he suffered because of maegor and also losing his brothers aegon and viserys and how Jaehaerys become king ..

Daemon being a supremacist and not caring about putting his trueborn sons on the throne doesn’t make sense. If he genuinely believed in Targaryen superiority and the supremacy of his own bloodline, you’d expect him to care much more about securing the throne for his legitimate sons.

Considering the fact that her life after the Dance was just constantly having babies and possibly dying from childbirth since Cregan eventually remarries and there is no more mention of her.

I've seen a post in the TB subreddit saying (in summary) that people only say Emma D'Arcy's acting is bad because they are non-binary or the writting is bollocks. And even saying that beyond the ASOIAF fandom, people think their acting is totally amazing.

For some reason you can only comment on TB posts if you're part of the community so I wanted to put the question forward on the subreddit where (I believe) things are less biased seeing this isn't a team thing.

For those who think Emma's acting is bad: Why so? Is it really just a question of writting, a frustration with the character?

And for those who think the contrary: Do you just think it IS good acting or do you believe the former claims that it is, somehow, homophobia/mysoginy

On my own note: I don't think their acting is horrendous, I can see a character and the writting def does not help, but it's the constant choices they make on the character that make me hate it. Like when they recently said that they prefer Rhaenyra wearing pants and more masculine clothing claiming they feel she (Rhaenyra) always had interest in masculine stuff when in the books it's a point that the Princess is very feminine and loves fabulous expansive dresses.

Also the scenes we see with her (Rhaenyra) for some reason always have to be grand, we can't have normal domestic scenes that made the whole difference in GOTs earlier seasons. We don't see her having relationships, she ignores her (alive) children and doesn't meantion the dead ones at all, we barely see any loving affection between her and Daemon, it's like every scene either she has to cry, to scream or to say some impactful one-liner, which makes it harder to form a connection with the character.

I don't think Aemond or Alicent have ever cleaned, fetched water or cooked in their lives. Alicent has probably some experience lighting up candles, but I don't see her doing it. What about cleaning the bedsheets, making the beds, cleaning overall, lighting fires...

Is it all magic like the Wesley's mother in harry potter? if so, she must be more powerful than Melissandre, to be able to do that and still have time to chitchat
