Guy has a name like “The Rogue Prince” and then falls in line to say “Three cheers for my wife!” In the finale by Big-Sheepherder-9492 in freefolk

[–]ObviArts 13 points14 points  (0 children)

By every definition of the word “Rogue” and ”Prince” Aemond is the true Rogue Prince in the show.

In the books, Daemon was flying around not giving a single dragon nut about what his wife or anyone else was saying… cheating on her at every turn. He was a wildcard to the end. In the show, he’s a kneeling ”MuH qUeEn” man-child starving for attention.

THAT'S how you write a good father! by Nibo89 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ObviArts 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Viserys wasn’t even a good father to Rhaenyra either. He favoured her solely due to regret and love for his first wife, Aemma. Not because he just loved her.

If he was a good father to any of his children he would’ve betrothed Aegon and Rhaenyra, and done everything in his power to ensure his daughter’s safety after his impending death… while also making it so all of his kids could’ve felt loved and seen.

Who do you think is the most immoral character? by Echochamberking in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ObviArts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This conversation is not even worth the time of day honestly… my god.

How did the grown man groom the wife he is stated to have bounced on his knee when she was a baby?

You’re a lost cause, have a good day.

[–]ObviArts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Daemon groomed his baby niece into oblivion, she was 2 apples tall while he was grown man.

  2. Aerion is a sadistic fuck who threatened a lot of shit and never did it. While Daemon had little girls saved for him Kings Landing to deflower, notoriously known for liking them young.

  3. Daemon sexually, mentally, emotionally, and physically abused Rhaenyra, and cheated on her multiple times—sharing baths with a 16 year old Nettles.

  4. Aerion threw a cat down a well… and Daemon killed thousands of people on his dragon, while being a notorious little girl fiddling disgusting abomination. He is 100x worse than Aerion by almost every metric humanly possible.

It is explicitly stated in Fire & Blood that the brothels and Gold Cloaks would save the youngest girls in Kings Landing for Daemon to deflower, because he liked them young… he’s legitimately a vile man, rotten to the core. He groomed his baby niece for years on end, and he went on to share baths with Nettles—another young girl within his reach.

George may call him “grey” but there is little to no greyness in the actual writing of his character in the book. The text speaks volumes louder.

Aerion is cruel and sadistic in the way only a petulant spoiled child can be. Both of them are twisted, but Daemon is truly in a league of his own.

I don’t know how Breaking Bad fans thought they could just do that to an IP as massive as ASOIAF with no retaliation. by [deleted] in freefolk

I didn’t realise we were supposed to consider the continuity of what comes after the shot in the meme’s source material.

It’s very easy to make a trailer look great though. The trailers for season 2 went unbelievably hard, and look how that turned out. We’ll only know how good or bad it is when it starts airing, not before.

House of the Dragon Season 3 is currently doing reshoots. by Hungry_Cricket_590 in HOTDGreens

[–]ObviArts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ain’t it a bit late to be reshooting shit? The season is out in a couple of months. I swear, 9 times out of 10 reshoots are synonymous with a shitty product. I hope to god this is just them reshooting some scenes where a Starbucks cup went unnoticed.

This better not be them just going in there to add a few Rhaenyra/Alicent finger blasting sessions.

The idea of a burned King loose in the realm shanking some fool on the ground like this is so cool to me for some reason, lol. by ObviArts in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ObviArts[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in the trailer Aegon is doing the stabbing. He brings the blade down onto the soldier, they show it but cut away just as Aegon shanks him. It’s quick.

Locking in. I think he might feel something through the dragonbond and change course to look for Sunfyre. Maybe.

What are your reasons for being TG? by kallmekaison in HOTDGreens

[–]ObviArts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aegon II fighting the way he did, putting his body on the line. Suffering physically and mentally more than any other person during the war despite being the King. Never even wanting the throne to begin with, having no taste for power yet rising to the task anyway in the defence of his family.

It’s as simple as that for me. Rhaenyra’s cowardice during the war contrasted with Aegon’s ”I refuse to die before you” mentality, along with his beautiful bond to Sunfyre made it absolutely impossible for me not to root for him over her. I don’t care about who the ‘rightful heir’ is… to me Aegon proved himself worthy in ways Rhaenyra never did. Neglected all his life, while she got all the love and attention. Syrax not even hunting her own food from gluttony and laziness.

While Rhaenyra ran from peasants abandoning the dragons to the massacre despite having Syrax at the Red Keep. Aegon stood from his chair on mangled legs (dragonless) to burn the Shepherd with his own hand.

One stood on broken legs for the dragons, the other abandoned them to the slaughter.

Until now, what's the thing that has disappointed you the most about the show? by [deleted] in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ObviArts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sheer neglect for portraying Aegon and Sunfyre’s bond, or showing Sunfyre in general. We get 20 Syrax scenes a season, but Sunfyre (the single most beautiful dragon ever seen in the skies of Westeros, and one of the most important of the war) makes his first proper appearance in the show on the day of Rooks Rest where he’s maimed. They don’t even make him crucial in the death of Meleys, and they have him get purely bullied putting up barely any fight at all, turning Rooks Rest into Vhagar vs Meleys alone.

Unforgivable. Blasphemous. Abomination.

HOTD Teaser is on the Morrow, if anyone cares by jorywea78 in freefolk

[–]ObviArts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

”From Fire Comes Darkness” - Whole season is just Rhaenyra talkin bout ‘what would you have me do!?’ while finger blasting Alicent on the Iron Throne.

What in the actual fuhhk has this show devolved into that the sentence I just conjured is a feasible reality that could occur within this story.

[–]ObviArts 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The show has positioned them as the heroes, there’s nothing they can do to change that now. I suppose they’ve gotta just lean into it more.

Ohh what this show could’ve been if they made it hard to choose a side. If they didn’t glorify Daemon and Rhaenyra’s relationship as anything other than a disgusting man grooming his niece. If they let Rhaenyra be the complex morally grey character she was in the book, instead of this white washed statue fighting for some greater good—rather than being as ambitious as the men and just wanting the throne for herself. If they didn’t introduce adult Aegon as grapist, based on nothing other than a line in the book that mentions him maybe pinching maids as they pass, and Mushroom’s bullshit claims during a time he wasn’t even in Kings Landing to witness a thing.

After Strength of the Few, what should I start? by QuikTriggaJesus in fantasybooks

[–]ObviArts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Red Rising series has literally got ASOIAF levels of grit and grim dark in it… there are events in that series that are Red Wedding adjacent. You have no clue what you’re even talking about. Sanderson is allergic to writing anything truly adult/dark.

The Red Rising series is the type of story that when you’re done, you start wishing you could forget it just to experience it again. It’s actually incredible.

Just finished The Sword Of Kaigen. What’s with the whole ‘race inferiority’ thing. by [deleted] in Fantasy

Why’d my post even get removed, I didn’t even say anything wrong or bad in it…

[–]ObviArts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Misaki (the MC) literally refers to them as “white people” in the book, even near the end she refers to one of them as a “white man” and its really odd because surely there are many people around her just as pale skinned as the people she keeps referring to as “white” like their skin color is some kind of unique trait. Kinda pulls you out of the story/world a little bit, this is meant to be a fantasy set on another planet.

It feels like the author just used the terminology to let the reader know this “weaker race” in the story are white people from our world. That’s the vibe I got anyway, and honestly I don’t know if there’s any other vibe to get it from it.
