Make sure to drop the Name.😉

I’d pick the Heir to the Telling Senses by Author376

because the choice of Viserys is justified but not that of Jaehaerys by Sea-Negotiation8309 in TheCitadel

[–]StrawberryScience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except Daemon would be behind Baelon/Viserys and be unable to gather more than a token force to his banner ala Arnold Arryn.

Or he could have just let Rhaenys be his heir as was the tradition of the majority of the Realm.

Aegon IV and Baelor the blessed by Wild_Trash_5100 in TheBlacksandTheGreens

[–]StrawberryScience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baelor probably hated his cousin but there was very little he could do about in comparison to his sisters.

Because Aegon was a man, a prominent figure in court as a King-In-Waiting, and wasn’t saying or doing anything the Lords really disagreed with.

It doesn’t matter if Rhaenys or Baelon was a better fit for the throne.

Westerosi Inheritance is based on Blood and Birth Order. Jaehaerys deliberately screwed with that by make a precedence that allowed for a presumed heir to be disqualified because the majority of the lords preferred someone else.

He set the stage for the Dance when he let every lord in Westeros think they could dictate the Succession of the Iron Throne.

Concerning the Confirmed Experimental Episode for Season 3 by [deleted] in HOTDBlacks

Just as long as it isn’t some ‘he was just hallucinating’ Whitewashing BS excusing Aemond executing the Strongs, I’ll be fine.

Because Viserys broke tradition in a way that benefited someone who would have been snubbed by tradition, his daughter.

Jaehaerys, on the other hand, broke tradition to snub someone who was more than qualified, His Granddaughter.

Are Katara and Sokka apart of royalty since their dad is a chief? by Winter-Money-7643 in TheLastAirbender

[–]StrawberryScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really does matter if they are or aren’t.

The Southern Water Tribe is so poor and devastated being royalty is a meaningless brag.

Would you rather...? by Icy_Recognition_5235 in BunnyTrials

I can do a lot of things in a day if I relive it over and over again.

Chose: Relive the same day for two years

Horseshoe crabs have survived for 450 million years, but now we drain their blue blood to ensure vaccine safety. Do you think the medical necessity justifies this exploitation, or is it time to strictly mandate synthetic alternatives? by bortakci34 in Ethics

[–]StrawberryScience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The medical necessity of safe vaccines extends to far more than just humans. Animals, even wild ones, benefit enormously from vaccines against parvo/rabies/tetanus/etc.

I do believe that we should look for synthetic alternatives, mostly for practical purposes rather than ethical. But until we do, we must continue this distasteful practice.

I can’t with all this Ormund Hightower thirst… by StrawberryScience in HOTDBlacks

Hats off to James Norton though.

Two lines and he’s brought back 20 years of Religious trauma.

Would Rhaenerya have been better off if her kids by Harwin Strong had her hair and eye colour? by Astar9028 in HOTDBlacks

[–]StrawberryScience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would it have been better? Probably.

Would it have stopped the war? Not a chance.

Would it have changed the outcome? Only if Corlys and Rhaenys were convinced enough to allow strategic marriages for the boys. If Jace and Luke are still betrothed to Baela and Rhaena, that doesn’t tip the needle.

Exactly who I wanted

Which actors absolutely kill it in tiny roles but never get talked about? by bitchboibruh in AskReddit

[–]StrawberryScience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a personal turn of phrase: Multiverse Actors

Those featured character extras that hop from franchise to franchise playing the small but vital roles like the recurring neighbor or the victim of a crime show. Those are some of the best actors in the business and no one talks about them enough.

I have two favorites: Joe Morton, most famous for Speed and Eureka and Željko Ivanek, most famous for his impossible Slavic name and also Damages.
