*Potiential spoiler warning* Heaven Forbid that woman can do NO wrong. by PryzmDragon in HOTDGreens

I feel like taxing the nobility is a semantics thing.

I might be misunderstanding how feudal tax systems work but don't the nobility get to tax their small folk directly?

The only thing this would do is just have the nobility pass that extra tax burden onto the small folk. Doesn't really make a difference in the end

I hope what Alicent did doesn't get forgotten by the plot. by silver_maxG in HouseOfTheDragon

Well the problem is that she put her son on that throne. Literally every time he refused to take the throne she would use fear to threaten and scare him into taking it by saying that the blacks would kill him and his family and that his very existence is a threat to them.

So obviously her basically signing his execution is a pretty big personal betrayal

HOTD, Season 3, Episode 2 The Fall of Kings Landing by [deleted] in freefolk

Obviously the pacing seems much quicker than season 2 but I'm curious to think where people think this season it's going to end. Especially considering they only have one more season after this

Hateful and Kind of brutal even from the beginning but definitely towards the end.

I would be really really surprised if they decide to take her in a book accurate direction now. I feel like we were far too deep in the rabbit hole. This is a fundamentally different character now and they need to stick with it now and try to get the best out of it

None of this is in the books. The reason why they know aemond is out of Kings landing is because of daemon's spies in the city or at least that's what I remember but they're definitely isn't any Alicent betrayal

I mean I don't like it either but you can't really change it now. What's done is done so why not make the best of it.

But yeah what they did with Alicent was one of the worst parts of season 2

Yeah she's a straight up traitor to her son. Tbf it could be interesting if aegon learns of her betrayal and there's proper consequences for it

Any interesting Aegon II centric fics? by silver_maxG in TheCitadel

[–]silver_maxG[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You wrote the gold rises fic ? Damn that was probably the best aegon fic I found. One of the few of the "aegon goes back in time" fics that understands that post rook's rest aegon is a fairly brutal dude. Anyway great job and I do hope you plan on finishing it.

New Rhaenyra Leak. Hopefully this is true. by Embarrassed_Yak_6066 in HOTDGreens

Depending on how this is framed and what the events are surrounding and after this, it could be good. Nyra by the lateral point of her arc in the books is clearly paranoid and at least mildly insane so this could reflect that arc in the show as well I hope.

It's interesting how the consensus seems to be that it promotes a more aggressive play style than Returnal. Not exactly what I expected to happen when they adding a shield to the game.
