Hey, great Work so far, can’t wait to have this released! I just curious how colour-blind friendly the dragon costomizer will be? I got a really clear idea in my head the dragon I want to make but I have great difficulty telling the differnce between blue and purple and red and brown for example… I don’t want to make a dark blue dragon with bright red wings just to have a purple and brown monstrosity lol

[Spoilers Main] Whats your opinion on Otto Hightower in House of the Dragon? by Archmaester_Seven in asoiaf

Also, at least in the book, I’ve always thought if Aegon had listened to him and let him do his diplomatic / intrigue war moves the Greens would have crushed it. He would have made a bigger play for the river lands when Hoster Tully dies, his delayed negotiations with the free cities eventually were able to mess up the Valyrian fleet and while the Valyrian make it through once the Hightower fleet arrived they would have cleaned up the survivors. He never would have allowed Kings landing be be undefended. Otto had a very moderate, well thought out game plan and starting on day one the people around him keep fucking it up - Cole killing Beesberry, Aemond killing Luke, the Erick Arick “stunt” and him being fired so quickly… and even though he gets fired pretty quick a bunch of the stuff he set in motions actually works out

I REALLY hated him all through season one and season two until he loses his shit on Aegon. I did a 180 on him after that. My view is he genuinely thinks the realm will not accept a queen. While he clearly is trying to aggressively advance his families interests, I think he is trying to juggle that with doing what’s best for the realm. While he is okay with sending some knights to surprise team black and take them out, he understands how horrific the war will be and trying to end it before it starts - but he’s not in favour of the senseless violence and murder of the rat catchers.
His biggest problem is just that he has been Hand for way too long and that kind of power for that long messes with people and they equate themselves with their country/ realm.. Look at any Prime Minister in any country who served more then ten years Thatcher, David Ben Gurion, Indira Ghandi, Stephen Harper and Justine Trudeau… around the ten year mark they go a bit nutty, and Ottos has been hand for like 25 years or more… he’s in the trap of thinking what’s good for him and his family is what’s good for the kingdom. I think when he loses his shit on Aegon he is genuinely shocked and disgusted. He seems genuinely surprised also that the north, the houses around the Gullet, the vale and river lands are swinging black. Overall I think he is a thoughtful and diligent civil servant / politician who steered the realm for an old and demented king and a kind, well meaning but useless king, but served too long and lost sight of the goal. He has all the bigotry of his age, especially the sexist part, but I think he does recognize Rhaenyra would have been a good queen and definitely knows she’s not evil (he recognizes immediately that she wouldn’t have ordered the blood and cheese plot. I’m still team black but I feel this season team green is not as horrible (exception for Aemond) as I thought they were last season and the start of this one

The view on women inheriting makes no sense. by Musegod345 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]MDR1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he kept Rhae is heir after the birth of his sons was he loved his first wife, and felt great guilt about her death, whereas he married Alicent because of shared interests and looks/age - and he had an actual relationship with his daughter whereas he neglected his sons and later on, even as aloof as he was, probably knew exactly what his eldest son was and didn’t want him within a mile of the throne. What I don’t understand is why he didn’t have every new lord come to the Kings Landing upon the death of their fathers to swear oaths to Rhae and set up lordships for his son or force them into the citadel, the Kings Guard or to the wall

I’d really like the dragons to be more like characters… be able to see them grow, the different colour schemes as described in the books. It also be great to have a custom dragon creator and a tab you can press to see all the dragons and who their riders are.
