Yeah admittedly I would have been very surprised if you guys ever even considered romancing Daemon.
I always toyed with the idea of Omake showing Knight!Rhaenyra meeting Canon!Rhaenyra through "Dreams", and inevitably they compare their Sexual lifes:
I've honestly toyed with the same kind of omake idea myself.
Hmmm… maybe go with "Princel?" Then again… that doesn't sound right either.
And then they kissed, right?
Book!Rhaenyra: Way ahead of you darling!
I am conflicted about Alicent in the show because I really like pre time-skip Alicent while I find Post Time-Skip Alicent deeply fustrating both because of the awful person she becomes and the fact so many people misunderstand her.
Show. I said series after all. Though honestly there mostly superficially different from what I can see until very late in events.
Yes your supposed to like early Alicent. An unlikable character who succumbs to lust for power and hypocrisy is less compelling compared to an initially likeable one.
Realm's Delight!Rhaenyra: "I can fix him!"
It would've been absolutely hilarious if Charmer!Rhaenyra got Daemon's marriage dissolved, "freeing" him and driving up his hopes that the Stepstones war would earn him his brother's approval and his niece's heart at the same time, just for Nyra to get betrothed to Qoren while upstaging Daemon's efforts at the same time
That's interesting because I read the Rhaenyra aspect as a commentary on people "getting by on looks" which is still deeply sexist thing but not intended as fatphobic sexism?
Oh agreed. Which is just so odd because there's some genuinely compelling and interesting Targaryen women it introduced. Rhaenys, Laena, Baela, all fucking badass. But the writing is as you say just so sexist urgh.
That was my first thought as well! And why not, words grow familiar with time anyway.
This is a hilarious mental image. Rhaenyra trying to wave away a flock of incels who are deeply offended that someone could just charm her by Not Being Sexist and Actually Caring About What She Thinks. No doubt Qoren used some Dornish devilry!We'd just start collecting incels lol everyone just collectively seething at Qoren, especially Cole in that TL since he's dornish too
He's the very epitome of "with friends like this, who needs enemies", but he also sucks to have as an enemy, too

Oh entirely agreed to get this out of the way. But if I can remember the exact ordering of the build up to the dance correctly Daemon married her after she's had her first three pregnancies and she didn't lose the weight from that.
Wait is this a Rhaegar fan art, because it works incredibly well for Rhaenyra.

And most of the documented extreme child marriages we have would be understood in modern parlance more along the lines of very long engagements. The child marriages were rarely consumated until the children were not children, because even medieval european nobility cared a little bit about some of this. Albeit from a pragmatic angle of "they can't safely have kids" not because they actually cared about the ethical issues.
