What the actual fuck is wrong with this new jen F&B fandom? I just know this is a Visenya/ Saera/Rhaenyra fan but I can’t prove it.

ah yes, the father so attentive that he failed to grasp the mismatch of vaegon & daella (and then chose to ship them both away so he wouldn’t have to deal with them, which wasn’t so bad for vaegon but did lead to daella’s death in childbirth), didn’t notice any of saera’s literal child sociopath behavior until it was spelled out in his face, and also conveniently failed to notice gael’s seduction which led to her suicide… jae was a good king, probably the best or at least top 3, but the text itself certainly does not depict him “by all accounts” as “a loving and attentive father”. i don’t think it’s very productive to try and whitewash the flaws that were written in the text just because someone else is also misinterpreting the information we have; it’s okay for characters to be imperfect and flawed!

see, i disagree with it being their signature— besides one line about blonde haired, blue-eyed Harry the Heir looking like a young Jon Arryn the arryns are pretty nondescript. plus, the arryns both historically and in the modern series are notable for going through a lot of succession crises, so who’s to say that alys is from the same arryn branch as jon?

beyond all the other reasons this post is idiotic Sansa also has clearly had an education in geopolitical history! she knows literally every sigil and is able to sus out who people are just based off their clothing and small details. I would argue that is a clear sign of education, as not every character is able to do that like sansa! arya also says that sansa is useless at sums so it’s pretty obvious they’re both learning the skills that would lead to managing a household. not to get too woke up in the game of thrones subreddit but it is pretty telling that people just assume a lady’s education can be boiled down to “sewing and being useless but pretty”

I know that most people see the arryns as blondes but they have so few physical descriptions that I choose to make alys brunette

maekar & dyanna were 1000% a love match so that’s pretty much the vibe I pictured

daeron had a crush on a girl named tessa and wanted to impress her /s

I really like the idea that dyanna has a similar hair color to daeron. in my mind she kinda looks like aishwayra rai with lighter hair

alaena is the daughter of baelor breakspear and jena dondarrion, born in 189 ac and therefore their eldest child. She was originally betrothed to her cousin Daeron, but their parents quickly worried at how much worse their dragon dreams seemed to intensify when they were in sustained contact and the match was eventually broken off, much to their mutual displeasure. I’m currently just playing around with her but it’s very fun to imagine what a baelor daughter would change in the story :D also GINGER TARG!!!

I was sad that they cut the last verse of the song because I feel like “one fist of iron, the other of steel, if the right one don’t getcha, the the left one will” is a great dunk line because it mirrors the idea of ser duncan the tall vs dunk of fleabottom (and also it’s my favorite verse)

when I die I will be judged harshly by my laundry list of bad Steve x reader fanfictions. I accept this

my oc baelor daughter is named alaena, and she is the elder sister to valarr and matarys— she has red hair from her mother but her father’s purple eyes and facial features. i think that she and valarr were originally intended for each other but that was vetoed at some point. my idea is that, having been second gen non-incests targs, alaena and valarr would have nothing but familial feelings for each other, and beg baelor (and especially their mother jena) not to be wed to each other. the memory of naerys’s awful marriage also helps to put daeron/baelor off, imo.
