I Always Thought Otto Hightower Brought Back The Andal Law By Having Rhaenyra Above In Line Of Succession

I always thought Otto Hightower brought back the andal law by having Rhaenyra above in line of succession from Daemon. I never saw it as a 'king can chose his own heir' because then 'every lord can chose his own heir' and the whole kingdom will get thrown in disarray. Alliances and marriages will mean nothing.

I saw a post of @very-straight-blog and I agree!

People need to know this!

According to the ANDAL LAW the succession should be like this in HOTD after Viserys I and this is what Greens wanted in the book

Aegon II — Jaehaerys (rip little prince) — Maelor the Missing — Jaehaera — Aemond — Daeron the Daring — Rhaenyra — Aegon III — Viserys II — Visenya (if she lived) — Helaena (in case everyone above her die) — Daemon — Baela — Rhaena — Rhaenys (if everyone with Targaryen surname die)

Not including Strong Boys because like it or not they are bastards and shouldn't be in line of inheritance. They could have been if Rhaenyra married Harwin. She didn't.

Also wanted to specify that ANDAL LAW is better than Valyrian and Northern. Only second to RHOYNISH LAW and Targs in this era hate Dorne. It's funny if they adapt their laws.

According to the Valyrian, Jaehaera, Rhaenyra and Helaena will come after Daemon and his sons. (I am saying this after reading the mess of Maegor's rule and Jaehaerys calling GC 1.)

And this is Alicent, House Hightower and majority of Westeros' religion.

She didn't sinned or betrayed anyone by having him crowned, her son has the right to the Iron Throne. His ascension should not have been a misunderstanding, he has the right to the throne and there is a reason history remembers him as the king.

We all know the HoTD writers are infamously anti Aegon and its shown constantly in the writing. I’m sure that him struggling with High Valyrian was meant as another dig at him to prove he’s unworthy but in doing so they accidentally proved he has an incredibly strong bond with Sunfyre.

Aegon obviously taught Sunfyre in a different and completely unexpected way, his commands are in the common tongue. He trained a dragon to obey something other than Valyrian; a feat in itself.

this is not a post for team discourse, any discourse will be deleted/blocked.

King Aegon V and Queen Betha

a poor canonically poc girl interchangeable with granddaughter of the richest man in Westeros.

a girl getting groomed by a white man years olden than her interchangeable by that years older white man's daughter. And this white man is also the Prince Consort.

HOTD LOGIC!

I want Rhaenyra to order Rhaena be killed if they are changing her with Nettles because if not then this is once again 'feminist girlboos can do nothing wrong' narrative being forced down our throat. Let Rhaenyra be intresting! Let Team Black have relatable characters!

Friendly reminder that if Rhaena is indeed claiming Sheepstealer and Nettles is being cut, it is just a show and the actor portraying Rhaena shouldn't have to experience any sort of hatred from toxic fans simply for doing their job.

So many shows and movies that are based on books have removed/added characters in the past. This is nothing new and clearly a decision that will best suit the show canon.

very, very, very afar from that but are VISERION AND RHAEGAL GOING TO GET CLAIMED in WINDS OF WINTERS AND A DREAM OF SPRING?

Mr. Martin release the books already!!

BUT YALL CALLED ME CRAZY FOR SAYING GRRM IS BEING PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS HOTD.

Grrm upset about the House Targaryen sigil being incorrect ^^^

Discussing his dragons pretty standard stuff right? And then….

“ The three wild dragons mentioned in Fire and Blood have lairs on Dragonstone”

“You won’t find dragons hunting the Riverlands or the Reach or the Vale”

“Fantasy needs to be grounded. It is not simply a license to do anything you like”.

Tell me he didn’t find about the bullshit going with Nettles’s character being dismissed and Sheepstealer going to Rhaena. Tell me he’s not upset and getting ahead of it.

Also additional interesting point is he outright confirming that dragon riders don’t need Valyrian blood to bond with a dragon or am I reaching on that part?

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
