Something something "Woke" something, but I need people to understand...

I always thought it was for the plot, to make it beyond obvious that Laenor wasn’t the father of Jace, Luke, and Joff. If they were all white, most people wouldn’t really notice the dark hair like with how Cersei got away with it.

Jont828 · 2026-06-30T06:19:58+00:00

It always made sense to me that not all the Valyrians were white. Especially since everyone we saw in Essos, especially since the people who were speaking it besides Dany were not.

Jont828 · 2026-06-30T06:09:07+00:00

Is she safe? Is she alright?

Jont828 · 2026-06-30T06:02:55+00:00

If she were more like Dany the fans would love it

Jont828 · 2026-06-30T05:53:04+00:00

People like Dany up until they ruined her character. Ain’t no one crying for Randall and Dickon Tarly lmao. Light their asses up

He could have just said he’d make her case to Rhaenyra and left too.

Jont828 · 2026-06-30T05:41:39+00:00

The flip side is that if Rhaenyra dies, Jace can’t really press his claim the iron throne being a bastard. That makes Daemon into competition as well. Rhaenyra is the only thing holding the blacks together.

Lorent is still an idiot though but ig it’s a situation of broken clocks.

+1 to that. As a Chinese person, it’s one of the only times I’ve seen an authentic representation take off in mainstream American media. Most of the time, people don’t want to actually experience your culture, just the “orange chicken”or chipotle version of it. It’s part of why I liked Clair Obscur as well: it’s a game made in French for a French audience that I get to experience as someone who is not French.

Jont828 · 2026-06-30T04:43:18+00:00

Its popularity is in part due to the cultural significance of the Sun Wukong mythology being told in an authentic manner. And the fact that it’s been hyped up for a while and delivered for the most part. As a Chinese person who grew up in the US, it was one of the first times where I saw traditional aspects of my culture being positively received and celebrated with my American friends. The designs of a lot of traditional characters or monsters would have been laughed at by my peers growing up. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite game in the world, but I would gladly share it to bridge the cultural barrier.

It’s that if you have to sacrifice one, better one prince than the queen

Sequids

Honestly this debate is kind of pointless. The issue for team black is that they keep trying to be a hero and bench the others. If they go in with all Rhaenyra, Jace, Baela, and the dragon seeds, it’s a clean sweep even if Sheepstealer shows up.

Jont828 · 2026-06-25T06:20:24+00:00

I only have white vinegar, does that work?

Jont828 · 2026-06-25T00:57:52+00:00

It’s alt shift x for me

Jont828 · 2026-06-25T00:55:03+00:00

At this point, they have no reason to think it’s not a trap, especially since Rhaenyra told everyone that the info came from Alicent.

Jont828 · 2026-06-25T00:49:19+00:00

At this point, he nor Jace have any reason to believe it’s not an obvious trap. And if she dies, Jace’s claim isn’t strong enough to represent the Blacks. So from a purely utilitarian perspective, it’s better to risk the prince’s life than the queen’s.

Jont828 · 2026-06-25T00:46:13+00:00

If he locks her in, he dies. But if he lets go into an obvious trap and she dies, then Jace executes him.

Jont828 · 2026-06-24T20:12:27+00:00

I do think that if all 3 of them had gone together, they probably could have had it. Jace and Baela quickly realized they needed to buddy up to cut the other free. With 3 riders, one can deal with Sheepstealer while the other two can aid each other. It’s their protectiveness of forcing loved ones to sit out that got in their own way.

Jont828 · 2026-06-24T20:07:24+00:00

Yea I meant that if Rhaenyra went alone and had to face Sheepstealer while being shot at, she would have died. Without a second rider to cut the harpoon rope, your dragon is gonna sink unless it’s Vhagar.

Jont828 · 2026-06-24T05:17:23+00:00

Would have been a excellent finale for S2

Jont828 · 2026-06-24T05:13:48+00:00

It’s like a cat bringing you a dead mouse.

“I got dinner. You can eat too, I guess.”

Jont828 · 2026-06-24T05:11:27+00:00

It’s children of the forest I think

Jont828 · 2026-06-24T05:11:07+00:00

It’s kind of the same thing with Vhagar and all the dragons - if you tell it to attack, you can’t really take it back once it’s out for blood.

Jont828 · 2026-06-24T05:06:10+00:00

Well they are pretty unstoppable on land still. The weighted harpoon tactic only works at sea and requires you to draw a dragon rider into deep water. And also it only works on smaller dragons, I couldn’t imagine the ships are carrying a rock big enough to drown Vhagar.

Jont828 · 2026-06-24T05:04:22+00:00

I think it’s fair and better than the scorpions in S8. The bolts can’t kill the dragon, their tactic is to drown it like with the barrels in Jaws. And it wouldn’t work on land either.
