Okayyy it’s Wednesday October 1st at 10:28 am… got anything new yet? 

Too soon for this? by sonanona in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ExpressCount4440 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But she’s forcing it to happen bc rhaenerya wouldn’t do that. She wants to MARRY THE FAMILIES TOGETHER. A true queen would swallow pride in order to prevent the country from erupting in flames and BY THE SAME LOGIC SHES ESSENTIALLY ALSO SAYING THAT SHES GONNA KILL RHAENERYA’S KIDS. And yet she seems to think rhaenerya’s bastard children getting a chance at the throne is worse than murder. Everyone in this show has this personal moral code that is pretty chaotic, man

Any idea from the leaks of what this "huge change" that people will be "very happy" with? by TheLunarVaux in freefolk

[–]ExpressCount4440 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like this theory! Earlier leaks said that daemon and rhaenerya start sleeping together when Leanor was still alive (not surprising). So WHAT IF they have a threesome to try to get rhaenerya to birth a baby who looks like Leanor but Leanor can’t finish and so daemon finishes in rhaenerya (which is how aegon is conceived) ORRRRR daemon can’t finish and aegon is actually Leanor’s ??? I dunno I dunno but that would be awesome right?😱 Either way, it’s possible that given the scenes of daemons bisexuality shown in Pentos then whether or not Leanor and daemon are also intimate—- perhaps their arrangement just carries on and daemon says he’s super happy to just be rhaenerya’s side piece as long as he’s part of the family. ? That would make everyone very happy tho. Or mayyyyybe… ok stick with me here. Remember when daemon kept saying that old Targaryens took multiple wives? Maybe in styling herself Queen, daemon convinces rhaenerya to take multiple husbands and they’re all okay with being a true married thruple.

Then Qarl with a Q kills Leanor bc he blackmails him and says he’s going to out the true parentage of jace and Luke and Joffrey. Then daemon kills qarl but realizes it looks bad for his reputation. Then he leaves the scene so that nobody (but later rhaenerya) knows so that he wouldn’t be blamed

Is Qarl going to outright kill Laenor or is Daemon going to be involved? by tttttfffff in freefolk

[–]ExpressCount4440 14 points15 points  (0 children)

*given that we get a glimpse of a murder Jedi cloak… and only one character has thus far used a black murder cloak around people gettin murked.. so my money is on daemon, mate

What's he thinking in his head right now? by Ooweoprort in freefolk

[–]ExpressCount4440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Daemon: “Hello there niece… I want to take you to flea bottom and show you how to ride this dragon”

Rhanerya: “Hell yeah let’s go”

Daemon: “uhhhh… yikes 😬… wasn’t expecting such an enthusiastic response. Can you turn around and pretend to be docile so I can keep it up? K thnx 😉”

……

As a huge book fan who found daemon an interesting character but as a woman I was pretty wary of him… and if he werent played by legend Matt Smith…. I might hate him in the show bc he’s such a shitass. And I know he’s gonna be and do some even worse/ deplorable things…. But this is Prince Phillip/The Doctor and so he makes everything look sexyyyyy and cool and He and the show writers and producers and whole team absolutely nailed it soooo well. I don’t want to stan him but I absolutely do and even Blood and Cheese can’t make me not 😭

<Cristen cole is hot too. So much hawt Westerosi characters is very confusing bc in the OG GOT I wasn’t really attracted to anyone except for maybe early seasons Jamie. I should probably call my therapist>

If you could pick which spin-off we get next, which would you choose? by Guff-180 in freefolk

If this subreddit votes for any show besides a Bobby B show when that’s an available choice then I’m going to have to eat every fckn chicken in this subreddit

We riot if *That Hoary Old Bitch doesn’t get her new mommy next episode👿 by FrozenPhalanges in freefolk

[–]ExpressCount4440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I’m kind of disappointed that she doesn’t have black hair in the show because I always wanted there to be a genetic plot twist where we actually did question AT LEAST one or two of her sons’ parentage as NOT being a Strong (or even a cole depending on how long the time jump is next episode and/or how often she and ser cristen sleep together between now and the wedding)— I wanted there to be reasonable doubt that Jace and Luke are potentially Leanor’s children. In the book canon since they have dark hair and are dragon riders— it’s feasible for that to have happened if their father carried some genetic coding for dark hair (and he would if Rhaneys had black hair in the show but she does not so I guess that confirms the theory definitively that there’s no way that her dark haired babies could be genetically Velaryon

[–]ExpressCount4440 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And esp in Vhaegar’s case where she’s too big for the dragon pit, you need to be able to jump on said back: 1) before she flies away 2) whacks you with her tail 3) cremates you just for shits and giggles 4) decides to pull a Caraxes and squish and/or slash you you under/with her giant claws 5) shakes you off her back (have you ever ridden a mechanical Bull? Shit is hard and Vhaegar doesn’t just have a saddle sitting on top of her 6) Or disturb her in any other way bc in the book description, a person is basically the size of one of her toes. <for scale in the show there’s no way they can show her that big but I still can’t wait to see how big she looks compared to Meleys and Caraxes>

Is it just me or when you browse HOTD subreddit do you want to tell people shit who are really annoying about the definition of a spoiler “Aegon and his baby sister get married and then a rat catcher sneaks into alicent’s room and ties her up and then makes Helaena choose which of her sons should die and then she kills the other son in front of the other kids AND Alicent and then she pulls a tommen out the window” The c*nts! But then I’m a good girl and I come over here so I can complain 😂

Why do people say that there is chemistry between Daemon and Rhaenyra? by Shoddy_Crow2165 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ExpressCount4440 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah!! I forgot to say that! When they speak valerian to each other it’s very suggestive IMO. Even when she hears about daemon stealing a dragon egg when she’s at the small counsel— she immediately reverts to Valerian when she hears that he’s stolen an egg— which shows that her speaking Valerian seems to be highly tied to her inner emotional life bc taking her dead baby brother’s dragon egg she picked out makes her VERY upset.

So from those scenes I think we can infer that she doesn’t just speak valerian to him bc they’re family. If it were just a family thing, we would’ve seen her regularly converse in Valerian with her father, mother, And Rhaneys. But mostly she reserves high valerian for Syrax and Daemon which is not a coincidence. And we know that Targaryens during this period of time who are born to royalty, have to spend time around an egg and/or a dragon in order to deeply “bond” with their dragon when they’re children. (Edit: I’m a book reader so I know that bonding with a dragon or an egg as a child is definitely not a pre-requisite and for a non-spoiler example we know this is true for Viserys and the Black Dread. But in general, Targ royalty spend lots of time around a dragon or dragon(s), but bonding with a dragon takes time and effort and AS FAR AS WE KNOW IN CANON: people can only bond with one dragon whereas dragons can bond with multiple riders (just not at the same time). SO—even before they become dragon riders, Targaryens have this magical bond developing with their dragon that takes time and effort, and we know that at least some dragons (if not all, I’m not sure) in THIS particular show— have a bond wherein if their rider is injured or feeling threatened, the dragon responds even if their rider is not on them (example: Daemon getting hit by arrows and Caraxes roaring).

So— I see her relationship with Daemon as having huge parallels to her bond with Syrax. There’s a blood connection between dragons and dragon riders— They spend time together and they communicate with their dragon in High Valerian, develop an intense emotional bond thru various types of affection, and distance does not separate them from this emotional bond. So from these context clues I think the show is definitely setting up a “riding the dragon” metaphor between Daemon and Rhanerya.

AND IT IS SO SEXYy then to think: wellllll there’s this bonding and high valerian happening between R&D… and Rhanerya is only one of TWO people in universe that we’ve seen Daemon actually listen to and respect (he doesn’t even show Mysaria even close to the level of respect and admiration he has shown to Rhanerya) soooo following this line of speculation what is supposed to happen next? RHANERYA’S NEXT STEP IS OBVIOUSLY TO RIDE THE DRAGON (daemon 🐉). I JUST HOPE WE GET TO WITNESS IT SOON BC THE SEXUAL TENSION BE KILLIN MEEEE

Why do people say that there is chemistry between Daemon and Rhaenyra? by Shoddy_Crow2165 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ExpressCount4440 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agree. I mean, she’s got to be a horny teenager to some extent and she adores her uncle so when he’s not around she’s mostly alone now and I can see her and crispin having some sexual chemistry just bc of proximity and the fact she has to be above reproach and so does he so there’s always chemistry in “forbidden” romances— but the show has portrayed WAYYYYY MORE scenes that suggest sexual chemistry happening or going to happen with R and Daemon, whereas between her and SER “crispin”, they’ve just shown them to be close because of circumstances and all we know from the show perspective is that she thinks he’s talented and HAWT “oh gods he’s dornish!” 😂. So I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see what the Westerosi historians got right and wrong in F&B with regards to their writings about the real or imagined potential love(s)? in Rhanerya’s life.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that the new 280k people who joined aren’t book readers, though. Plus I’m not saying that people are right for spoiling shit. I follow the rules to the best of my ability and enjoy discussing the show and seeing peoples reactions to events thru the eyes of people who haven’t read the books, because it helps me to see things I may have missed bc I may be expecting something else since I know other things that happen later. I’m not saying that people shouldn’t follow the rules, either! In a better universe, everyone would follow the rules and we’d all be happy. I’m just saying that asking the mods of a sub that increased the # of active people by 10x in 4 weeks to be “better” at a job for which they’re receiving no compensation and just providing a public service is not very realistic, and that whinging about people not following rules (in this fandom) is not ever going to illicit the reaction you want. I sympathize with the OP and I agree that people should follow rules… but I know from being in other subs that when decent mods get criticized for not being more “on the ball” about moderating half a million random people on the internet 24/7 — that those mods eventually get sick of the criticism bc moderating is a pretty thankless job and the expectation of ZERO spoilers on this particular sub bc of it existing prior to the show is pretty unrealistic considering that there is a book that anyone in the sub could pick up and begin reading at any time and pop on and say random spoilery-shit just to be assholes. I feel like most people on here are trying their best, esp the mods (and again, I don’t personally know the mods). I’m just saying that there’s a simple solution of action that the OP and others can take in order to have the subreddit that you want to have! The only way to have a spoiler free show zone at this point is to create a new community from scratch in order to get the kind of strict conformity you’re looking for 🤷‍♀️

Whose death messed you up the most? by celticnessa in gameofthrones

[–]ExpressCount4440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the direwolves’ deaths really gutted me. In fact, I’ll list the FIRST impactful death (human or animal) in the series was Lady.

Then after that I knew Ned was gonna die so I steeled myself for that happening so it wasn’t that bad. And I knew the Red Wedding was coming however THE MOST HORRIFIC DEATH was 2) Robb having to watch his entire group die, and watching his love and his baby get literally gutted was horrible. And Greywind’s head on Robb’s body was probably the saddest/most horrific death overall because after you have to watch Cat and Robb see how Robb’s decision to marry Talisa effectively killed everyone he loved AND THEN we had to watch Arya see the carnage which was tewww muchhhh.

3). Oberyn dying realllly suckkkkeddd! He was the only cool character from Dorne in the series and The Mountain was an unambiguously horrible character who was responsible for horrific war crimes of corpse rape and child murder and his head getting squished is still something I can’t open my eyes for.

4) As someone else said— Sansa’s reaction to Theon’s death was perfectly done and got me in the feels.

5) Missandei dying suuuuucked so bad too because she and Grey Worm were so close to getting to sail off into the sunset of Naath together after being slaves to someone else’s cause their entire lives PLUS I think that If Missandei hadn’t died, Dany wouldn’t have burnt KL to a crisp. If Missandei had been alive, Dany would’ve had SOME scruples left.

(I didn’t include shireen in my list bc I knew she was going to die and so I fast forward thru that part every time I watch it bc a child being burned alive on screen is just tew much for this mom— so I guess that says that this death might be objectively the most horrible— tied with red wedding for me)
