Daeron Ii Targaryen - Tumblr Posts

It's ironic how they accuse the faith of the 7 of being misogynistic compared to the Targaryen house. when we just see that the only king after the Dance who takes into account his queen and her court is Daeron II, who was raised by Naerys faithfully devoted and admirer of the peace of Baelor.

Day 04 Martell Week: Song/Lyrics that remind you House Martell

Will this always be just an arrangement We'll find out in time if we don't break it Can mine become yours Combining our dreams Without keeping score Always together, but never bored No choice in the matter but This will never work without each other

Can we become we (can we become we) Start a new line On this family tree Two hearts connected by one beat Your hand in mine and

Something simple and romantic, I chose a song that sounds like something Myriah and Daeron II would think at their wedding. I feel like Dorne would throw everything out the window with decorations for Myriah, Daeron tries but finances are adjusted, and he also wants to please his uncle Baelor.

I think that Myriah's appearance is close to some Dornish stereotypes that people later have, such as being small, smaller than Daeron, a characteristic that she would share with Elia, then with Arianne they would share the curls, which her son Baelor inherited that is why he cut his hair. short

The dance is also an adaptation of the dance from the song's original video.

if you were in charge of the hypothetical hbo blackfyre rebellions show, what directorial choices would you make to improve upon the source material?

this is not improving upon the source material so much as tailoring it to my tastes

start w baelor’s court i feel strongly about this. first episode a sort of bizarre womanless church of a court with a king wandering around barefoot in rags and the girls in the maidenvault. in my blackfyre rebellion show we’re doing themes about women and themes about the faith and also prince aegon unworthy breaks daena out and daemon blackfyre is conceived. baelor dies shortly after this maybe bc of shock and horror maybe bc viz ii poisons him i kind of like the latter bc ->

aegon poisons his own dad to get the throne quicker. i would want at least a season of aegon iv reign i want them to do the mistresses and the increasing number of bastards at court properly. aegon psychologically tormenting naerys and aemon and ignoring weakling daeron in favour of his handsome chad bastard son daemon

not the first to say this but i want aemon to also be creepy to naerys but to desperately punch this down bc shes so Good she would be horrified by his affections. daeron isn’t his

aemon and naerys not idealised beautiful arthurian knight and lady i want them to be PALE and SICKLY. drawn and stricken-looking with that pink eye makeup thing they do to the targtowers. aegon comparatively conventionally handsome deteriorates over the season w gout and five million stds

daemy blackfyre charismatic jock kid intentionally similar to young aegon who broke daena out. daeron fucking hatess him once he takes the throne hes taking out his feelings towards his own shitty dad on his shitty dad’s bastard he liked more than him. telling daemon he can’t have two wives bc its wrong and this is the real world and barely able to keep a smile off his face about it when daemon leaves in a huff

focus on barba missy and bethany + the bracken blackwood feud in general. i want barba to be weirdly close w aegor as her perfect royal son her golden ticket connection to the throne

bittersteel focus <- non negotiable for me hbo would neverr do this. in the sense that hes an unmarketably misogynistic homophobic old-gods-hater deeply unpleasant catholic brute in a love triangle where theyre just dating and he has a problem with it. horse girl. keeps throwing tantrums. loser. only guy there without magic powers or blonde hair. manipulating his half brother w the kingsword into usurpation

those cruel intentions promo posters where theyre all draped over each other but its their stupid triangle. shiera makes him and bloodraven kiss for her amusement

Daeron II: Openly challenged his tyrannical father repeatedly.

Daeron II: Recognized that there could be no lasting peace through attempting to strongarm the Dornish; rejected the cycle of violence, as it was incumbent on him to do as representative of the perpetrators of the conflict; and offered a fair treaty that brought Dorne into the realm without bloodshed, something none of his predecessors could do.

Daeron II: Treated his half siblings extremely generously when he came to power, even giving Daemon Blackfyre lands and (presumably) Bloodraven one of the ancestral Targaryen swords.

Daeron II: Married his half Dornish heir to a woman from the Marches to solidify his hard won peace, proving that he was very much committed to all the people in the realm.

Daeron II: Listened to people that knew stuff.

Daeron II: Is considered Daeron the Good by both the smallfolk and the lords.

Daeron II: Didn’t even have any daughters for any weird, creepy, misogynistic storyline to take place with them.

Certain parts of fandom: The problem was that Daeron was a bad king that alienated everyone in favour of the Dornish, he should have perpetuated the same toxic cycles of vengeance that we constantly cite as the reason the Martells are doomed, any Dornishman at all in a high position is a sign of his favouritism.

You know one of the things that saddens me the most about the dance (other than the deaths of my faves and it's general outcome) Is the extinction of dragons.

There were such majestic creatures and it really hurts to see them die out like that. But I then I start thinking about how the future would have turned out with dragons still alive and...

Aerys II with a dragon?

The battle of the Trident but Rhaegar has a dragon? (Actually, since he descends from a Targaryen princess, Bobby B could also have a dragon if he managed to claim one and that's equally terrifying.)

Actually, with dragons on their side the Mad King would have won the war 100% and basically all of our faves would have died or never been born.

The blackfyre rebellions but both sides have dragons? Shit, that'd be a second dance.

Aegon IV with a dragon? ( No wait nevermind , he'd be too fat to get on it anyway)

Suddenly I'm so glad these Targs never had the chance to get their nasty hands on them.

Sorry Morning, but I'm kind of glad you were the last one.

It must have been so weird to be Daeron II. He is a generation unto himself, too young to have grown up with his aunts and uncles, too old to have grown up with his siblings. He is the ultimate elder brother, he lived 17 years of his life an only child with no cousins before suddenly being saddled with several younger bastard siblings and a true born sister. Do you think he loved Daemon Blackfyre as a little brother, and was heartbroken at his treason? Or was the gap between them too great, and Daemon was only ever a reminder of his father’s spite, a burden to be treated well but never trusted?
