THE JADE TIARA
Belonging to Princess Rhaenyra, gifted to her by her husband, then uncle Prince Daemon
“Princess Rhaenyra was a different matter. Daemon spent long hours in her company, enthralling her with tales of his journeys and battles. He gave her pearls and silks and books and a jade tiara said once to have belonged to the Empress of Leng, read poems to her, dined with her, hawked with her, sailed with her, entertained her by making mock of the greens at court, the ‘lickspittles’ fawning over Queen Alicent and her children. He praised her beauty, declaring her to be the fairest maid in all the Seven Kingdoms. Uncle and niece began to fly together almost daily, racing Syrax against Caraxes to Dragonstone and back.”
Team green fans can be such hypocrites at times. Like shaming Rhaenyra for not physically fighting on dragonback, when she is in such pain and grief. But Helaena gets a free pass because her son was killed. And she's depressed and going through grief and mourning.
While that is exactly the emotion and pain Rhaenyra is going through (even more). Rhaenyra lost her father. Rhaenyra lost her birthright/throne/crown. Rhaenyra lost her son, Luke. Rhaenyra lost her daughter. That too in a stillbirth, which takes months to heal. Even if we put aside the grief and death and loss, there is still physical trauma, and pain. In such a condition she is supposed to be in bed resting.
But still what's the point of having a dragon if you're not putting it any use.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Stayyest baby girl ever
Viserra Targaryen
“That night, Septon Eustace reports, Ser Criston Cole slipped into the princess’s bedchamber to confess his love for her. He told Rhaenyra that he had a ship waiting on the bay and begged her to flee with him across the narrow sea. They would be wed in Pentos or Tyrosh or Old Volantis, where her father’s writ did not run, and no one would care that he had betrayed his vows as a member of the Kingsguard. His prowess with sword and morningstar was such that he did not doubt he could find some merchant prince to take him into service. But Rhaenyra refused him. She was the blood of the dragon, she reminded him, and meant for more than to live out her life as the wife of a common sellsword. And if he could set aside his Kingsguard vows, why would marriage vows mean any more to him?”
And yet it was HER (a 16 year old girl) who 'seduced'(🤮) HIM(a 31 year old man)??
This is a man who has watched this child of SEVEN grow up into a 'women'. He has seen her grief and mourn her late mother. Seen her get mocked by her 'stepmother'. Seen her get challenged every waking moment.
And yet there are defending “poor” Criston’s honor and person, calling Rhaenyra is a wh*re because she seduced a grown man?.
Not once does Rhaenyra mention him after what happened, NOT ONCE. Criston on the other hand calls her a wh*re every chance he gets, sided against her, cause HAVOK during her wedding, convinced her half brother to take the throne just so wouldn't be queen. Full on died just so she wouldn't be queen
Rhaenyra never thought of him, and he spent the rest of his life abominating her.
That sounds exactly like a man who would throw acid on a woman because he was rejected by her.
The thing that I love most about Rhaenyra is how she embraces her feminity, about how she loves being a woman. How Rhaenyra appreciates and celebrates her femininity. How she wants to have children, and how she loves being a mother. How she loves romance. How she loves love. How she loves loving and being loved. How she likes being a pretty princess. How she likes being pampered.
'Rhaenyra Targaryen and her yellow dragon Syrax'
Not only is this AI generated but this is used as a reference for 'book Rhaenyra' all the time.
It is said "she never lost the weight she gained during her pregnancies, and she had grown stout and thick of waist at the age of twenty after her third pregnancy." NOT "she became super morbidly obese".
She went through THREE pregnancy before 20.
And the chances are this girl was short short, both Rodrik Arryn and Daella Targaryen are short, naturally Mama Aemma is going to be short aswell. Rhaenyra could very well take after her mother's side, and be short queen, therefore appearing fatter than she actually is.
And her being overweight somehow makes her less worthy of the throne? Her father King Viserys I was very obese, eventually dying because of it. Both Aegon and Helaena were fat.
Atleast Rhaenyra can say she is fat because of the pregnancies. What can Aegon or Helaena give as a reason. (before you come at me, both of them were described as being fat/plump BEFORE their wedding)
At the fact it would not have mattered if Rhaenyra was overweight or not, if not for her rivalry with Alicent, who is described as being thin 'even after four pregnancies'
The official portrait of Rhaenyra commissioned by GRRM himself
A few other official pieces of Rhaenyra once again commissioned by GRRM.
Again, she is not a skinny legend in any of these, but not some 300 pound(136kg) woman either.
I read somewhere, that the best brothers, Aegon III & Viserys II, hated their parents Rhaenyra and Daemon???? And the reason? Because none of their 8 combined children were given their grandparents' name? AND they didn't recognise Rhaenyra as being a true queen in the histories??????
Are you just stupid or something? 😭 Like ever heard of the team 'PEACE', it's when you keep your mouth shut. hush, hush. Or 'a state or period in which there is no war or a war has ended.'
They cannot under any circumstances recognise their mother as queen, another revolt from the smallfolks will break out, because the memory of the war is still new.
Not TG fans thinking Alyssa Targaryen would support Aegon??? Because ‘she is a boy mom’????? And who do you think are the boys she's mom to are? Rhaenyra's two big supporters. Alyssa had two living sons Daemon and Viserys, those two loved Rhaenyra to no end. Alyssa for a fact would stand with her sons before anyone else.
Baelon as well, Rhaenyra was his only living grandchild, who came after miscarriages and stillbirths. And a girl too, this man is said to have wanted a daughter. He was a mama's boy, always by his mother's side till her death. Loved this dead wife for years, till his last breath. Loved her more than life itself.
It's really funny to me how the OCs of 'anti-targ' fans are most likely ALWAYS Targs. Like they'll always have the purple shaded eyes, the silver/golden hair. The Targaryen name, it's most likely never Velaryons either, ALWAYS Targaryen. And of course, not to forget the DRAGONS. Most likely the Cannibal or Vermithor, because they're the biggest ones. You are literally admitting to them being the one of coolest house without admitting to it.
Oooof, I love when that fanfic shitshow fans think it's all about them. It really isn't. You have your space, us canon book fans have our space, stay in your own space. You're just making a fool out of yourself. The only person victimising a character is you. Also please stop victimising Alisaint sooo much, it's annoying
'be nice to a motherless child' you do know alicent is also motherless, her mother died before Rhaenyras did. Theyre both the same age. You people have to victimise Rhaenyra so much, where is the your sympathy for alicent.
Umm... I'll answer that when you come of you shitshow fanfic brainwashed mind😚
Tell me this doesn't scream THE REALM'S DELIGHT
I mean look at her😤😤😤

It's so funny how you assigned one of Rhaenyra's colors are blue. Blue is Helaena's color, to honor dreamfyre and her bond with dreamfyre. Yall really want Rhaenyra to be the second Helaena🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Please go and figure out who Rhaenyra's mother is.
Queen Aemma Arryn. An Arryn, whose house color is blue. She is the Daughter of Princess Daella Targaryen. A Targaryen, who married into the Arryns.
'The second Helaena'. Rhaenyra came first, if anything you are trying to make Helaena a second Rhaenyra.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Now there's this acc that said canon/book Alicent and Rhaenyra's beauty cannot be compared, because 'Alicent is just as beautiful as Rhaenyra'. And their reasoning? Because Hightowers have Silver/blonde hair. And ofc Alicent had silver hair. And silver hair is the only thing that makes Rhaenyra more beautiful than Alicent.
The only Hightowers with silver hair is Alerie, who is most likely 40+, it could simply be age. OR the fact she came after Rhaena married into House Hightower. She had six DAUGHTERS. Lady Sam and Lyonel had six SONS. I'm not saying they all married each other. BUT, they're cousins. Though Westerosis did not marry their siblings, they did marry their cousins (ex: Tywin & Joanna, were first cousins).
It is so stupid how the shitshow has brainwashed people.
The only upperhand Alicent had on Rhaenyra was the fact she remained a slim beauty after 4 pregnancy.
"King Aegon III Targaryen wed Lady Daenaera on the last day of the 133AC."
"He saw the light"
Another aegonaera day this year and they wish you a happy new year

To the wonderful fanfic shitshow fan who said me (and other blacks fans) are trying to make Rhaenyra the second Helaena, here is a little reddit post from a greenie like you.🙂
'that deserves better' whatever that means.
If I see one more person using the 'mother of dragons' for alicent 🤦♀️🤦♀️. What makes the mother of dragons, giving birth to targs? Everyone and anyone is a mother of dragons then.
Mother of the realm, what is that similar with hmm🤔? Oh yes, the realm's delight. How exactly is she the mother of the realm? Don't really know.
Not one inch in his body is he anything like Aegon I. Lol.
'Aegon the unbroken' and what is that similar to, Aegon the broken (Aegon III, R+D). Every part of this man was broken, burned and destroyed, mind you.
'the king who prevailed'. What exactly did he prevail, no one actually knows.😮
She is princess Diana, ofc.😍😍
She was a kind queen. 🤷♀️.
'Pride of the realm'. What exactly is something abt her to be so proud of?. Again, similar to 'the realm's delight'
'Beacon of hope'. man's favourite pass time destroying people's hope and burning everything down.
I’ve been trying to finish this one for a month. A gift for a very talented, persistent and awe-inspiring @sweetestpopcorn, hope you liked it 😉
Here we have left-to-right Rhaena, Visenya and Baela, the canon we deserved)
I genuinely do not understand how people think Rhaenyra wasn't usurped because she was a woman.
What quality does Aegon have that Rhaenyra doesn't aside from being a son?
Rhaenyra is older, and therefore more experienced. Has been the Princess of Dragonstone since she was EIGHT. Took hold and started ruling since SIXTEEN. She knows more about governing than the rest of her four half siblings combined. She has been her father, the King's cupbearer since before being named heir. Has followed her father almost everywhere since he became king. Attended meeting and counsels and all of the things relating to governorship.
Aegon had a princely tutorship, but what else? This man spent his adult(and teen) life in the streets of silk. Aside from his basic education as a prince, what else does he know? Viserys wasn't going to bother, since Aegon isn't even the second in line to the throne, it is Jace, has been since Aegon was 7. Otto wasn't even present till Aegon was atleast 13. Alicent wasn't an active ruler or decision maker like Alysanne was, so obviously not her either.
It wasn't for the lack of supporters either. Out of the six great houses of Westeros, Stark, Arryn, Tully, Lannister, Baratheon, Tyrell, THREE supported her. TWO supported Aegon. ONE, the Tyrells remained neutral, simply because most of their bannermen supported the greens. She was more loved and known throughout the realm.
This is so Aemma and Rhaenyra. Maybe Aemma telling Rhaenyra she's going to have a new sibling😫🥹. Before it all goes wrong.

Title: A song sweetly sung
Rhaenyra wasn't usurped because she was a woman, she was usurped because she was a stupid woman. If she had kept her leg closed and didn't have BASTARDS she wouldn't have been so opposed throughout the Realm
Saying she wasn't usurped because of misogyny while spewing misogyny is quite funny.
It was never abt her having bastards to begin with. It is and was always abt her being a woman and not having a sausage between her legs.
In the many many drafts of the dance, in one she married a lannister and had no children, but still got usurped. In an other, rhaenyra was married to a lyonel strong, and she still got usurped.
The problem is not her children, or whether she kept her legs close, but that she is a woman.
And let us say it was about bastards, do you really think Daemon would let them live? Let his sons that he has waited for years get passed down. Daemon did love Rhaenyra, but he had his own ambitions and motives. I don't think he would do it publicly simply because of his love for Rhaenyra. But a simple fall, accidental drowning, an assassin, it's all very possible.
It was abt the Hightowers and Alicent's ambitions.
Hope this helps🙂
