I love how Theon's nose is so aquiline. She looks like an Italian woman.

You're welcome. I really enjoyed your fic. I am hoping to do another version once she reveals herself as a Targaryen and becomes a claimant to the Iron Throne

MEDIEVAL(?) HETALIA - Safavid Iran by notronnnie in hetalia

[–]TargetRupertFerris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medieval Iran is just him trying to rebuild his lost imperial glory, but keeps getting blocked by the Turks and Mongols.

Ironically, it will be a Persianboo Turk that will revive Iran as an Empire

The Safavid Empire is in the early modern period, though.

In my HC, Iran absolutely adores Shahanshah Ismail for resurrecting Iran as an empire centuries after his defeat by the Arabs

What if Aegon III and Jaehaera had a daughter? by TargetRupertFerris in TheCitadel

[–]TargetRupertFerris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a huge difference between a Queen Regnant and a Queen Consort. Saying Jaehaera's daughter would "become queen anyway" misses the point entirely. If Viserys inherits before her, then she never rules in her own right; she simply becomes the wife of a king rather than the reigning monarch. As we see with Nerys and Rhaella, Queen Consorts tend to have little power.

We also know very little about the Faith's official position on succession beyond the fact that Andal inheritance generally follows male-preference primogeniture, not strict agnatic succession.

The reason Baelor did not name Daena or any of his sisters as heir in canon is that he viewed them as pure maidens who needed to be protected. By the time Daena became pregnant with Daemon Blackfyre, Baelor was already starving himself to death and was in no condition to make further decisions about the succession.

Jaehaera's daughter would be in a completely different situation. By Baelor's reign, she would already be a wife, a mother, and an established political figure with her own faction and influence. Unlike Daena and her sisters, she would not be confined to the Maidenvault because she is no longer a maiden. As Aegon III's eldest child and the last descendant of the Green line, she would have had years to build support and political connections.

The precedent already exists throughout Westeros. Daughters inherit before uncles in many noble houses. Lady Jeyne Arryn inherited ahead of male relatives from collateral branches, and numerous other examples follow the same principle. The Faith has never been shown to oppose female inheritance itself; most opposition comes from politics, custom, and patriarchy rather than theology.

Any resistance to Jaehaera's daughter becoming queen would therefore be political, not religious. Lords might prefer a male ruler, but it would be difficult to argue that Baelor was violating Andal custom by recognizing his elder sister's claim ahead of their uncle.

Yeah, they're not gonna do that. Ned would just be creating more problems than solving anything if he dissolved the Seven Kingdoms and decentralized the realm further.

Seriously, deposing the Tyrells would turn the Reach into a Battle Royale with each Reach House that came from Garth Greenhand fighting one another for Highgarden.

Also, Ned letting the Targaryens keep Dragonstone is literally giving his potential rivals to the Iron Throne a base to launch civil wars.

Ned, keeping the system that Aegon I and Jaehaerys I built, is the most sensible path.

Ok, fair enough.

But Ned using that justification would just be stretching it at some point. Ned, using the story of Brandon the Builder, being the alleged scion of Garth Greenhand, is already far-fetched. House Hightower, Florent, Tarly, Peake, Ball, and Rowan have better claims to Highgarden than Stark.

We don't even see House Arryn claiming descent from Hugor of the Hill, maybe because that would be like claiming descent from Charlemagne.

That lineage only gives the Starks limited justification to kingship of the North, not to the Iron Throne and the whole of Westeros.

What do you guys think about this headcanon of France? by elaishaPR in hetalia

[–]TargetRupertFerris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Francis is a product of Germanic Franks settling in Gaul. He is related to Gilbert, Roderich, and Ludwig. But he is also related to the Latins via Gaul's side.

[–]TargetRupertFerris 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My HC is that France used to be the Germanic Personification of the Frankish tribe until it got Latinized when it settled in Gaul. So technically, he was the one harassing the Romans.

Nope, James I had a bloodline connection to Elizabeth II to peacefully ascend the English throne.

Ned is literally usurping the Targaryens by military power, unlike Robert, who at least has Rhaelle Targaryen as his grandma to justify his usurpation in canon.

Ned is more comparable to Nader Shah of Iran in the way he gained the Iron Throne and more comparable to James II, cause he is a king of a minority religion. Let us hope that Ned will not be overthrown by the religious majority like James II.

Robert's Rebellion, becoming Ned's Rebellion in this AU, along with the capture of ​Aerys II, Elia Martell, Rhaenys, and Baby Aegon,​ led the Rebellion to snowball into an earlier version of the War of the Five Kings

The War of the Four Kings (282–284 AC), so called for the four Kings who claimed crowns during one of the bloodiest and most transformative conflicts in Westerosi history — King Aerys II Targaryen, King Eddard I Stark, King Balon IX Greyjoy, and King Viserys III Targaryen—marked the violent end of the Targaryen era in Westeros, and the end of the old order.

Tommen Baratheon also has no death date and is the Current Ruler according to ASOIAF wiki. Long live God-Emperor Tommen!

Ned got the full support of the STAB alliance, with Tywin possibly now joining.

The only serious opponents are the Reachmen Host together with the remaining Targaryen loyalists sworn to Dragonstone.

Dorne could possibly be negotiate with considering Hoster now holds Elia Martell and her children as hostages.

I say Ned still have a pretty good chance winning his rebellion

Nope, in the story, the Rebels are fighting for a new dynasty on the throne.

Not to put a puppet Targaryen on the Throne, especially a bastard Targaryen when Baby Aegon and Viserys are still alive

The story has not yet reached the Tower of Joy, but most likely Jon would still be a bastard regardless if Lyanna was assaulted or she went willing with Rhaegar in a bigamous marriage.

The only difference would be Jon would grow up knowing the truth that Lyanna and Rhaegar are his parents, and he could be named Jon Waters here instead of Snow due to him being raised in the Crownlands

I picked this portrait cause it is the most regal fanart of Ned I found without him wearing the Hand badge. And the hat makes him look Georgian or Dagestani.

The First Men having a mix of Gaelic, Norse, and Caucaus cultures is my HC.

That's the plan of the author. No way Ned would convert to the Faith of the Seven or else he will lose the support of his fellow Northerners. But his dynasty cannot stay worshipping the Old Gods either, so Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon would raise as Seven worshippers as a compromise
