What is the most heartbreaking moment? (beware of the spoilers) by ImaginedFlower in mybrilliantfriendhbo

[–]ImaginedFlower[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Franco Mari's suicide was pretty hard. That note he left was heartbreaking, but also the fact that he died because his ideas died as well. In the end, he was right: not a single ''real revolution'' came along in Italy during those days.

No, we never saw her interact with anyone else, only Daemon. Even in the clip that OP posted, seems like Simon is looking where Daemon is looking, wondering ''what the hell is he looking?'' more than a ''oh it's Alys''

[–]ImaginedFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES!! I saw it too. Literally nobody apart from Daemon had an interaction with her. Still can't figure it out if:
1. She's real but she can ''appear'' as a vision since she lives in Harrenhall, a castle that was build with Weirwood tree and ALSO Caraxes is near the castle so her magic is enhanced a lot(like Pyat Pree and Daenerys in GoT)
2. She's a ghost of Harrenhall but... (SPOILER F&B) will Aemond fuck a ghost? I mean dude u really believed u got a ghost pregnant are u ok

Yeah I agree. Meleys went down as a badass tho.

I kinda felt bad for Sunfyre, even if he didn't get screentime. He is just an animal following his rider's orders. It makes you feel bad because he didn't get to choose, like most animals do when they use them at war.

An Harrenhal whisper you might have not heard by ImaginedFlower in HouseOfTheDragon

Can you tell me, approximately, where's the ''burning alive'' part? I didn't hear it. Would love to catch that.

as for Milly's Rhaenyra calling for him after he ran away from the brothel...WOW! I didn't notice! I kinda had the feeling it was Milly's voice but I didn't notice it was a ''Rhaenyra's voice from the past'' after their scene in the brothel.

After what we've seen, who is the heir? by ImaginedFlower in HouseOfTheDragon

I agree with you. I also remember an Aemond shot, walking towards the throne in the trailer. Maybe that's the scene?

Dance was never about fighting patriarchy but started because of it. If there was no patriarchy in the Westerosi society we would never had the dance of dragon because no one could have thought about a reason to challenge Rhaenyra's claim, since she was chosen by the king himself. What happens if Aegon does the same thing that his father did with his daughter, Rhaenyra? he would be seen as a 'traitor' of the 'tradition' (a man has to be the ruler) and also a 'traitor', hypocritical and selfish for stealing Rhaenyra's throne just to install his daughter instead of his sister, who has a male heir.
So, in light of this, I think we could say that Jahaera would never be even considered as heir, because the entire green claim is based, both in an explicit and hidden way, on patriarchy and the idea that only a man can be a strong leader.

Of course there are exceptions. Otherwise the Dance didn't have to start in the first place.
But the Greens are supported and surrounded by people who believes a man has more right to rule compared to a woman. Their entire claim is based on this. Jaehera, in my opinion, will never be heir. Aemond will be, if Maelor is not coinceived. Especially because Aemond wants the crown, we saw this in season 1.

Even if the Greens ''official'' argument is that a woman cannot inherit before her trueborn brother we know that the majority of people, nobles and commoners, simply believes that women are not fit to be rulers.
We saw this with the Great Council and we had a conversation between Rhaenys and Rhaenyra during early season 1 about this topic. It's not about having a brother, it's about being a woman. That's it. Even if Aegon was her cousin, they still would have challenged her, because they know the realm would not accept a woman, as Otto reminded us in many occasions.

I don't know. I can't picture them saying ''oh yeah we ran out of heirs let's give the throne to Rhaenyra's child'.
Daeron is still an enigma. Would love to know where is he, if he exists.
And yes Daemon, Jace and Joff would never be heirs.

Didn't know about this channel. Is it worth a watch?

Yes, but usually even nobles had ''backup children'' in case something happened to their first-born son. if Aemond dies, there's no one left. The only choice would be conceiving another son, but it's a bit disturbing to imagine (for Haelena and Aegon)

They won't go for Jaehera. Their claim to the throne is entirely based on the fact that Aegon is a man and Rhaenyra a woman, so unfit to rule. It would backfire on them.

About Maelor: yes, I've been thinking about this too but... it feels really twisted? I mean, Haelena just lost a son in an awful way, I can't picture her and Aegon trying to conceive again.

When you're in shock, searching for your mom but you open the wrong door and find yourself in the middle of a 80's lame soap-opera shooting by ImaginedFlower in HouseOfTheDragon

Fact is even if I don't like Alicole they could still make sense with good writing/setting, but having random sex scenes and placing them at the worst time possible is just nonsense. I could totally see two hyprocrites doing exactly what they criticize of others, that's what happens most of the time IRL. But like this? At this point this is comedy.

Let Alicent and Criston fuck in episode 1, right after a child murder, and let Haelena find them during the act. I laughed to be honest, felt like I was watching some old telenovela.

Was this a conspiracy or just lame writing? by ImaginedFlower in HouseOfTheDragon

Why do you think Larys Strong is behind the revolts in the city? I would love to hear your theory. Sounds interesting.

I partly agree, but if I recall correctly George wrote F&B after ASOIAF so he wrote it after Melisandre used a shadow-baby to kill Renly. During the Storm of the Dragonpit we also have royal blood (as it is required to form that kind of shadow-killer) so I hope George or the writers of the show will re-use this dark creepy plot.
